"Under new ownership: Woodett 's Diner offers a special weekend only French bistro. The new owners are a married couple, one is French, and the other is Greek, and they met in France. 22 years ago they came to the United States and brought a glorious assortment of tasty flavors with them. You can still get breakfast and lunch throughout the week, including some classics carried over from the previous owner i.e.: biscuits and gravy), but as an additional perk, you can also get a very high quality meal on the weekend, with a rotating menu every 4 weeks. Keep your eye on this establishment, it will probably emerge as one of the highest quality restaurants in Gardnerville, NV. My table ordered a filet mignon in peppercorn sauce $29, most expensive item on the menu), a filet of chicken I 'm told it was a little dry, even though swimming in butter), baked salmon I 'm told it was also noticably swimming in butter, but not sure that 's a problem), salmon tartar a starter, very good), a goat cheese salad fresh and excellent), and three desserts each was excellent, and very saucy). Flavored bread rolls were served at the table with butter upon arrival. My overall impression is that this chef, Ramon, knows what he 's doing. The food was prepared with expert precision, and simple but clean presentation. I 'm told he 'd like to move away from short order diner cook and get back to his real passion, chef of a French bistro. I additionally ordered a glass of Cabernet, which though I did not know the label, it was quite good. I 'd be interested in finding out what it was, and I 'm secretly hoping it was something quite affordable. A friend of mine once told me, the best wine in the world is the one you like. My advice: continue to minimize the diner feel, replace the cool white bulbs in the chandeliers with warm colors, and continue to go for the high quality market share. There 's plenty of diners in town, but I want to transcend time and space, escape, and find myself in the movie Ratatouille. I miss sitting at a nice comfortable restaurant, and watching the people go by in the streets a classic French bistro pastime. Let me know if you need some French music. Old review previous owner): Diner cuisine. Diner coffee. Diner service. Diner prices. Comfortable booths. Parking lot feels a little tight in an SUV, but there 's ample parking all around. Successful visit."

"Very nice location with beautiful views of the lake with very easy access. The rooms was very comfortable except for the awful cigarette smell in a nonsmoking room. Thank goodness we had very nice comfortable weather at night which allowed us to turn off the air conditioning open the window for the disputed. As a result, the cigarette smoke smell disapated for the most part. Thank goodness ?.The restaurant was great! Good food, waaay big portions that were well prepared?! The restaurant staff did a great job trying to accommodate everyone. There was just these 2 young women working tables when we were there they were working their butts off. One young lady, (tall, blonde, a little heavy set)had quite a sense of humor about everything. She really made people feel relaxed to just take it all in stride. All in all, it was a great visit at Topaz Lodge. We will definitely stay there again."

"I recently visited this restaurant for the first time and it definitely won't be my last. I ordered the Okey Dokey Ham and Artichokey Sandwich, which was absolutely fantastic. My wife had the BLT and also loved it. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxed, with smiling and happy employees. Overall, a great experience!"

"I always go to Topaz Joe's after work. It's always a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and delicious food. Their cheeseburger and onion rings are a must try. I have never had a negative experience while dining there. The waitstaff are attentive and provide great service. If you want to have a wonderful evening or afternoon, I highly recommend Topaz Joe's."

"I used to really like Hamdogs. I admit it's kinda gross to think the cooks are smoking while preparing your food, but it never seemed to hurt me. It's a bar and grill with tasty food, decent portions and great prices. Overall it's about what you would expect. What killed it for me is when they went to the BBQ menu in the evenings. The prices are crazy! I was willing to put up with the smoke, dirty bathrooms and sticky tables when 10 bucks got me a beer and dinner, but now the evening menu has entrees approaching 30 bucks. Sorry guys, Hamdogs used to be a favorite of mine, but since I always went in the evenings your off my list for good."
