Modern American
Fodor's Choice
Carefully sourced ingredients from local purveyors, meticulous execution, and a historic setting at a former mine site 3 miles east of downtown have made this restaurant a hit among locals, Gold Country tourists, and travelers heading to or from Tahoe. The seasonally changing menu might include a wild-mushroom Bordelaise appetizer, jambalaya risotto, and the Black and White entrée of filet mignon and perfectly grilled prawns.
