Fodor's Review:

Perched above town on the site of North America's first chairlift, the Cottonwood restaurant is a veritable institution. The bar is decked out with old wooden skis, sleds, skates, and photos of Truckee's early days. And although the dining area serves an ambitious menu—everything from grilled New York strip steak to vegetarian risotto, plus fresh-baked breads and desserts—people come here mainly for the atmosphere and hilltop views. There's live music on weekends.
