"Not the restaurant’s fault that it was too smoky to dine outside, however I didn’t appreciate the sticky high top table provided right next to the entrance, nor the fact that we were ignored by the waitstaff for about half an hour after being seated. We were kindly allowed to move inside to the more formal dining area when requested. Tomato soup en croute was delicious as were the scallops and burger. Sadly the most expensive dish, Alaskan halibut was overcooked and dry, veggies would have been good if not over salted. If not for the disappointing halibut, the food would have earned or stars instead of For the price charged, halibut should have been excellent. Waitress offered no recourse when told it was overdone. Would be nice if the wine list had more reasonably priced selections, starting at about is a little steep. The French Chardonnay was very good as it better be for over I’ll think twice before making another journey to Truckee from Zephyr Cove for a dinner out at Moody’s"

"We came looking for a burger and had to choose between this place and Burger Me. Maybe the wrong choice? Burger was huge very tasty meat. But both wife's and mine were way overcooked. Fries were lousy. Also they had homemade Dijon mustard but we only learned that later. They brought out only yellow mustard (ich). And of course no malted! Salad was excellent and sauteed veggies we're excellent. Next time we try Burger Me."

"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."

"Oh my goodness! There is so many great things to say about this place. Let's start with our waitress, Courtney. She was AWESOME! She was super nice (we had 5 kids with us ranging in ages from 13 to 6). She was patient with the kids and answered all of their questions and had a great attitude.We went during happy hour which had some great options. I wish I'd of sprang $2 more for the shot of whiskey bc 5 kids...whooo mama needed it We ordered the hummus and flatbread snack, it was very flavorful and the flatbread had a nice texture and had some spices on it that brought out the flavors of the hummus, which had pistachios and kalamata olives on top. Super yummy.We chose to stick to pizzas since we were on our way home and had a 3 hour drive ahead of us, so it came out promptly.Pork belly and Padron was AMAZING! it had an amazing flavor with the honey. We also ordered a meatball pie. I'm super picky about meatballs and these balls were nothing less than absolutely perfect. They weren't overrun by fennel like some balls.The other two pizzas were aimed at the kids, cheese and pepperoni. As mundane as that sounds they were awesome also. The pepperoni had a great flavor and the cheese blend they use must've been made by unicorns because it was some of the best I've had.Now, let's talk about the crust. It was thin and not overpowering. The crust didn't take away from the magic of the toppings but added to the party that was going on inside my mouth!I will definitely be back next time I come to Truckee!Thank you Courtney! Update: 5/21/22Still AMAZING! Their cocktail menu is superb! Creative AND tasty!The hummus is fantastic! The pistachios taste super fresh and their olive oil is smooth. I would like to see a collaboration with their equally fantastic neighbor, Tahoe Oil Spice.I'm NEVER disappointed in their food or their service.5 stars, as usual!"
