We tried the 6 course tasting meal; a very interesting variety of tastes and textures. Service was outstanding, and the place had a genuine austere Japanese feel to it. Loved it!

Inside seating with view was great. All 4 dishes were perfect-the guest who ordered the pasta dish felt too much pasta.

As always, from the valet to the table, service is stellar. My guest really enjoyed the Mimosas, I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary with a potato vodka (Chopin). Our server was professional and didn't bat an eye at my request. She was fantastic from the get-go. I had the Avocado Toast, my favorite (next to the Bagel & Smoked Salmon) - it was amazing. Not your average Avocado Toast! My guest opted for the Rise & Shine brunch. I tried the Country Potatoes and Yum! She enjoyed everything. One of the best views of the lake, in my opinion. And the decor is elegant, mountain chic. As a reminder, they are a credit/debt card only establishment. So tips are good for cash, but to pay the bill, cash is not an option. I have my next trip focused on dinner and my eyes on the Onion Soup and Seafood Pasta!

First time dining here since it took the place of Alpine Union. Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Salmon was charred nicely and was unbelievably moist and delicious. Husband had chicken breast that he said was beautifully seasoned and not dry. We liked that these entrees came with only one side so we could avoid heavy potato or fries and just have the veggies. They do not skimp on portions either. Fried mushroom appetizer was be far best we’ve had in a long time. We’ve already recommended Saltgrass Steak House to a few family members. Definitely on our shortlist for South Lake Tahoe
