We are staying in South Lake Tahoe with our 5 kids ( 30, 26, 21, 19 and 16) the week before Christmas.
I'm looking for a few recommendations for meals out, when we get sick of our own cooking! We'll be a group of eight total. Any favorites?
Have any of you done the dog sledding or the sleigh ride? Hoping for personal recommendations! ( The kids will ski and snowboard too but we'd love to have at least one thing we can all do as a group.

Thanks so much!

We've really enjoyed the food and nice low-key ambiance at Primo's Italian Bistro. Also, the burgers and drinks at California Burger are very good.

In recent years there has been too little snow on the ground for sleigh rides or dog sledding, although they are still advertised: https://www.sleighride.com/

Thanks Sf7307 for the recommendations, I'll put them on the list!
Michael, I wondered about that. We'll just have to see what happens!

Thanks!

"In recent years there has been too little snow on the ground for sleigh rides or dog sledding, "

Not actually true -- every year is different of course, but there have only been one or maybe two years in the last decade+ when there was insufficient snow for much XCountry skiing or dog sledding. Some years the snow falls early and some years it doesn't arrive in full until January+ but most years there is plenty of snow. The sleigh rides are not 'snow dependent'.

You do have to have about a 6 inch snowpack for either sleigh rides or dog sledding, so they are snow dependent, at least in Stateline. Some places also have carriage rides that are not, of course, but those aren't sleighs. So they do have rides without snow, but they are on wheels. Depends what your goal is.

Why don't you just take one of those cruises, that would work for the entire family.

Christina: Specifically the sleigh rides Michael linked are not snow-dependent
