- JjleetahoevipSan Francisco Bay Area •56 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe ambience and service are outstanding. The hostess is a lovely, friendyly woman who starts the night off nicely. Our waiter, a nice man from Spain and who has waited on us twice, could not be better - so warm, professional and knowledgable, attentive without hovering. The poke cones are a MUST HAVE, along with the aruglua salad. It's the only salad on the menu but covers all the bases. The lobstter tempura was done really well, too. The rack of lamb special is enough for my husband and me to share. Don't miss the spinach and boy choy. My son and his date both had paella, which they really liked. Too full for dessert! A wonderful experience from start to finish. , starting with the hostess' greeting,More infoWolfdale's Cuisine UniquePrice: Expensive• Californian• Tahoe City•4.9

Discover Carnelian Bay
North Lake Tahoe is a unique city that straddles the border of California and Nevada. Carnelian Bay is nestled in the region and offers a dining scene that consists of an interesting mix of comfort foods and seafood options. Fish is the mainstay of many dishes available at fine-dining restaurants, showing off the taste of the lake. Locals often enjoy seafood and other protein choices with vegetables such as fresh string beans and carrots. Barbecue is also a favorite option in Carnelian Bay at a number of local joints specializing in tender Southern-style meats. These smoked meats made in the Alabama tradition continue to grow in popularity and are an excellent choice for some Lake Tahoe American comfort food.
