Gar Woods Grill And Pier

Pretty empty on a Monday after Labor Day so seating and service was prompt and efficient. Not dirty like I feared from other reviews, but well worn from the masses. Food we each had salads with a protein) was quite good so 5 stars on the food. It is super expensive for what you get $31 for a wedge with 3 oz of Salmon). It has a good view of the lake. Did not try any of the drinks.

The drink was good, and the views are spectacular. However, the salmon was overly seasoned, and the filet mignon was undercooked—blood red is definitely not medium. The asparagus was tough and not trimmed or cooked properly. The halibut was overcooked and dry, while the Korean BBQ rib tacos were rubbery and chewy. Considering the high prices here, the food should be exceptional, but unfortunately, it fell short of average.

A staple in North Tahoe. As always, the food and drinks are fantastic. It's a must-visit if you're in the Carnelian Bay area.

The food and service were excellent. We visited for lunch on a Saturday, so it was incredibly noisy. That's on us, not them.

Outstanding place! Beautiful location. Great fast friendly table service.
