"Made reservations ahead of time, we were a party of six. Worst service ever!! Management could care less about your wait and hunger! We waited over an hour for our meal! After an hour when I went to go find the Maitre D/Host, he was eating his dinner at the bar! He could care less and told me that we should of been told that our food was going to come out late and that they only have 6 burners, so then do NOT have 2 large parties on the same night, that is why you require reservations!! Food was ok, but it was overshadowed by very poor service. They also make it that you can not call them and talk to the owner or email them to discuss their service. They must be experienced with plenty of complaints to not have an outlet for customers. I do NOT recommend this place. It broke my heart to see my daughter, who lives in Truckee and was excited to have us try this place and we had such a bad experience. It is not worth visiting you can find better places."

"We have visited The Sawyer multiple times and have always received great service and food. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was not as good. It was Father's Day, so we understand that they were busier than usual, but it took almost 2 hours to receive our food. The server only checked on us once during this time, informing us that our food would be ready in a few minutes, which ended up being 15 minutes later. Our drinks also took a long time, about 30 minutes. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. The highlight of the evening was the band, The Imposters, playing on the lawn. The food was mediocre."

"Everything was fantastic! Our server was incredibly patient with the children and provided great food recommendations for our group of four adults and four kids. We arrived at 5:00 PM and were told there would be a 45-minute wait, but we were seated in just 35 minutes. There are cafes and an ice cream stand nearby to help pass the time. We ordered Mac and Cheese, Margherita Pizza, Corner Pizza, and Meatball Pizza—all three were delightful. While I preferred the flavor combination of the street corn pizza, I truly enjoyed them all. The Brussels sprouts and hummus plate were also outstanding. We tried three cocktails, and they were all enjoyable: sweet tea whiskey, pineapple mezcal, and watermelon habanero. The kids were happy with their simple pasta bowls and Mac and cheese, although there isn't a dedicated children's menu. I would definitely come back without hesitation!"

"Really wanted to like this place, especially since it's named after my pup . But unfortunately our experience wasn't very great. My dog would have checked in on me more. The hostess had a lovely welcoming smile and attended to us after we sat down, but then after that, while our water glasses were empty, she was folding napkins and cleaning tables that nobody every sat at. Maybe she thought that water filling and checking in was meant for the waitress but she was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Mind you, it was not terribly busy when we first got there, although picked up by the end of our meal. The food was okay. Cauliflower appetizer was flavorful, roasted carrots were basic, octopus a bit too hard, bread tartine pretty to look at. Main dish of fish and gnocchi was bland. Friends ordered steak, waitress did not ask how they wanted it cooked. One friend specifically asked for rare, it came out well done so she sent it back. While I understand that getting attentive restaurant staff can be hard when there is only a few of them (seemed like 3 staff working the tables if you include the hostess), for the prices that we paid, the expectations were not met. We had to ask for more water, more wine, salt and the tab. Probably could have walked out without paying and no one would've noticed."
