Best WLM Reviews
1. Seat yourself, no greeter.
2. Small kid size portions (see pic). Very small amount of fish for $18, I felt ripped off. I'll have to eat dinner early, I'll be hungry again soon.
3. We had to check three other tables to find ketchup (see pic).
4. After the food was dropped off, the young lady never checked on us. Even though they were NOT busy, as you can see in the pictures. Waitress was poorly trained. No more drinks were offered, even though my glass was completely empty.
I don't recommend this place. It's a tourist trap.
We definitely won't be back.
Great breakfast. Staying on east coast time, we stopped here for what would normally be our lunch. In October it's not super busy and they run minimal staffing with one server. Fireplace runs earlier in the morning providing a bit of warmth and adds to the rustic feel. While the entire Zephyr Cove restaurant and resort are part of Aramark, they try to give it an independent feel. The portions are generous and the food is well-prepared. Scrambled eggs were a bit buttery the second visit. Pancakes are fluffy and french toast was spot on. Hash brown potatoes had decent seasoning. Food was hot and pricing is about what you expect for a tourist town. Service is by no means fast and be sure to ask for whatever you think you'll need (ketchup, jam, etc. when you order your meal). It's a good spot to fill up at.
Awesome milkshakes!!!! Strongly recommend this location for that alone. Served old school with the metal cup and long spoon. :)
French dip was not spectacular, but fries were good.
It had a nice selection and variety in large food servings. It is a fun drive to each restaurant from the scenic views on the trip. There is horseback and a large riverboat near here. The food tasted homemade and just really good. I would definitely come back to this place!
We stopped into Zephyr Cove when we were staying at the casinos in South Shore, both to get something to eat and to check out the area in general. Overall, there's a lot of beautiful scenery and things to do at Zephyr, despite the parking being a complete nightmare.
The restaurant was okay. There was nothing that blew my hair back about the food or service. It's a perfect place to eat outside on a nice day, with shade from the pines and umbrellas. However, the service wasn't up to par, to say the least. First, we had to wait roughly 10 minutes for a waitress to even come talk to us, despite only having one other table of two to work. The food also took nearly 40 minutes to arrive, which is crazy since all we ordered were chicken salads. When it arrived, it wasn't bad, but it's incredibly difficult to scew up a chicken salad...
After we ate, we went down to the water and checked out the beach area and pier. There were lots of people there, but it wasn't overly crowded to the point of absurdity. If you've never been to Tahoe, anything by the water is gorgeous, so Zephyr is a 'must see' on your travels.
While my Rueben sandwich was pretty good, the fries were terrible, for $18. My husband got fish and chips, which consisted of two SMALL pieces of frozen fried fish and yucky fries. A child's portion at best, for $18.
The service was slow. Two servers and a girl helping with drinks and the bill. She was pleasant, the server we had couldn't have been forced to smile if his life was on the line.
I had two bottles of Coors Light beers almost $9 each.
The server didn't check on us until AFTER we'd asked he hotel for our bill.
The parking lot has only a dozen parking spaces, it was full. We parked behind at the gift shop.
There's one gender neutral bathroom for the whole restaurant, however there are additional restrooms by the gift shop.
In short, with all the places to eat around here, we won't be back.
The attached gift shop was very nice (and well over priced). The staff there was delightful.
Conveniently located on Highway 550 just adjacent to the lake. It has seating outside with a clear view Lake Tahoe. Certainly not a fancy place but staff was friendly welcoming and the service was very good. Prices are about what you were expecting the lake Tahoe area. My Zephyr special included three eggs French toast, sausage and bacon. Fair amount of food for the price.
Service is outstanding. The menu while limited, at least at lunch, has good choices. My wife's tomato soup was very flavorful and my burger was perfect with more flavor than most places.
