"Ugh, I really wanted to like this place. We went here with my in laws for a nice adults only dinner. The first thing that was frustrating was the cost to park the car. $25 half of what it would be normally just to park at the Ritz. Ugh. We had tried earlier in the day to find out how late the gondola ran so that we could park in the village lots and take the gondola up but we couldn't find anyone that knew the hours or had information at all. I'd suggest that this info should be made part of the reservation process. So once you swallow the $25 parking fee you head inside. It's a beautiful building with wood accents and a large stone fireplace. The ambience was what you'd expect from a nice hotel restaurant. My family will typically drink wine but as the cheapest by the glass was over $40 we decided to forgo beverages. The menu was full of fresh ingredients we started with a caprese salad and hamachi. Both were tasty happy to see heirloom tomatoes in the caprese. Our entrees included gnocchi with meatballs, cauliflower steak and corn soup. Everything served was good though for the price I felt it lacking. I could tell our server was irritated that we didn't order more especially alcohol or dessert. Our booth view faced the courtyard where there was a wedding reception taking place....not quite the beautiful mountainside vista we were hoping for. I always wondered about this spot and now I know we aren't missing something extraordinary....Glad we checked it out but happy to look elsewhere for an upscale dinner in Truckee."
