Just as the majesty of the tall pine trees complement the beauty of the crystalline waters of Lake Tahoe, so does the cuisine of the many fine restaurants visitors can expect to find from Stateline to South Shore.

Whether it's grabbing a burger and fries or relishing a savory bit of filet mignon, the dining options at the lake are limitless and can accommodate any appetite.

Atmosphere is essential to any successful restaurant and for such establishments as the Riva Grill, Llewellyn's, and the Fresh Ketch Restaurant, mesmerizing lakeviews and exceptional cuisine complement each other like the perfect wine selection at dinner.

Known for a classic, Tahoe style ambiance, The Riva Grill located at the Ski Run Marina, has a generous redwood deck that allows its guests to soak in the smell of the tall pine trees and of course the hypnotic view. Entrée selections can range from coconut prawn appetizers and chicken sandwiches for lunch, to herb crusted halibut or a generous steak for dinner. What attracts patrons even more is the "Wet Woody” a frozen concoction of seven different kinds of rum, named after the classic wooden Chris Craft boats that once dotted the lake's shore. Sipping on one of these tropical sensations while gazing out at the snow-capped mountains and pale blue water indeed provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxing day of leisure.

The paradise feel can be captured once again, in a sleek and sophisticated bar known as the Coco Havana Club. Located at the top of Harvey's Resort and Casino Hotel, the Coco Havana Club is akin to a 1940s nightclub. Situated inside of the resort's culinary high point, Llewellyn's, this smart bar complements the innovative continental cuisine patrons have come to expect from this elegant restaurant. Boasting spectacular views, both the Coco Havana Club and Llewellyn's provide an intimate and relaxing ambiance with the idea of luxury in mind.
