What Thêu Lư likes about West Shore Cafe:
Perfect place to go for waterfront lunch. You can tie your boat up to a buoy and take the water taxi to the restaurant pier. The food was very good some things better than others, but also a little pricey for lunch. Overall though it was a great experience! View all feedback. What donnah doesn't like about West Shore Cafe:
The food was quite average. The calamari was tasty, but the halibut I ordered was dry and bland. My husband enjoyed the short ribs. However, we found the overall cost to be high for the quality of the food. We have had better meals at other restaurants for a lower price. View all feedback.

West Shore Cafe never disappoints! We had delicious Burrata appetizer halibut battered for lunch with delicious homemade coleslaw!

Westshore Café provides a mixed dining experience with stunning views overlooking Lake Tahoe. The food is generally well-prepared, with standout dishes like the Ahi Poke, short ribs, and elk loin. However, some diners found the menu selection limited on certain occasions, while others felt that the food was overpriced for the quality. Service varied from slow and talkative to professional and friendly. Despite some hiccups, the beautiful ambiance and picturesque setting make Westshore Café a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.

The brussel sprouts were inedible, one person’s order was forgotten, overall not a great experience.
