   Excellent food for a good price. We ordered four different dishes plus dessert, and everyone liked what they had. The service was great as well.

   Disappointed to say the least. My wife and I arrived at about noon for our 12:15 reservation. We were greeted and shone to our table. The staff did not seem real enthusiastic…the buffet was picked over and the food was just not of a high quality. The Mothers Day decorations as well as the two roses on the table all looked wilted. We finished our $150.00 brunch in about 15-20 minutes and left. I’m not sure if getting there earlier would have made a difference but I can definitely say that having a staff member vacuuming next to our table while we were eating did not add to the overall experience but at that point we started laughing because it fit perfectly with our experience at the Granlibakken. Apparently the staff was preparing the restaurant to close so that they could set up for the summer. This was like going to a cafeteria rather than nice dining experience. Needless to say Mother’s Day was a bust! The guitarist did a good job of providing background music.

   Great buffet for Mothers Day. Nice music and food was very nice. They try to accommodate gluten free diners-and their banana cake was outstanding!

    This was not my first dining experience at the Pub and I've tried a lot of menu items. Everything is delicious! Last night was no exception. We were there to celebrate a birthday. The friendly service, fresh and flavorful food, and tasty libations combined for a great evening. We'll definitely be back!

    Carlos was our server and he was very knowledgeable about the dishes. He was very courteous and kind. We are staying at Grandblakken and find the people who work there equally nice and accommodating. We plan to eat at Cedar house again and enrolled in their points program which is a great way to get a discount! Highly recommend it! Great food! I also don’t drink and the bartender kindly made me a delicious mock tail.

    Nice evening and good food but the service was terrible. It’s like they were missing servers—I think the chef brought out our food and the host was trying to be a server. Would have been nice to have someone apologize or at least explain what was going on that night.

    Absolutely a fabulous experience. Carlos was so welcoming and gracious. Explaining the menu and sharing the daily specials, we wanted to order it all. All of our entrees were delicious! The ambiance inside Cedar House Pub in the winter is warm and traditional with an authentic Tahoe feel which Granlibakken Resort is known for! A must be visit! FYI the summer deck dining is fabulous as well!
    

    Granlibakken Tahoe - Cedar House PubResponded on February 10, 2023Thank you for your great review Porky. Carlos is a superstar! We do our best to create a great dining experience. Lots of snow on the ground in North Lake Tahoe, but we will see the deck open before fall (hopefully ha ha). We look forward to having you back

    Went for a Norwegian Feast for Christmas Day during our family vacation. The chicken was dry, vegan meatballs were tasteless and not many options for kids but processed chicken nuggets and fries… not worth the price for such a poorly executed buffet. The 18% mandatory gratuity was a joke, since we had to serve our selves and get our own drinks.

    First off, the restaurant itself was hard to find as there are no signs specific to the restaurant. We drove all around looking for it. Note it’s in the main lodge building, up some outside steps. The shrimp skewer was to die for! My husbands steak sandwich was so tender and delicious (and huge). I got the lobster roll, supposedly it’s their specialty, and it was super disappointing. No flavor at all, served on a potato hot dog bun, and must have been imitation. I ate maybe a third of it. Not worth the $22 price! The bartender and our waiter were super friendly and fun with great senses humor. The deck was cute and casual, it was a warm night so perfect night to be outside.
