- KkristingPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI was honestly blown away at the food! The menu described does NOT do the food quality the service it deserves. We almost left because we thought it was just a burgers and beer kinda menu, but decided to stay and try it out . Ordered the cauliflower soup it was fantastic! Dinner we had the halibut and then polenta cakes and it was so delicious. We ordered the scallops for dessert 😂 Highly recommendedMore infoSunnysidePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Tahoe City•4.1
- TBTeamBeachSacramento / Sacramento Valley •3 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWe so enjoyed our table overlooking the creek and the overall ambiance at River Ranch Lodge. Asa, our server, and the other staff were friendly and welcoming. The food, however, was a bit of a disappointment, not bad but not what we expected for the prices. All considering, we had a lovely evening and would return.More infoRiver Ranch Lodge & RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Tahoe City•4.3

- MKMikeKSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review4.0Dined on Sept 17, 2023We went to Jake's for a birthday dinner. I had the macadamia nut crusted halibut and was cooked perfectly, I asked for more of the sauce that complimented the fish. My wife ordered the palm salad and added mahi but the mahi was a little overcooked. We sat out on the balcony which is a little tired and needs sanding and staining. The service was very good, the music was at a nice level. Overall a nice evening.More infoJake's on the LakePrice: Expensive• Californian• Tahoe City•4.1
