The restaurant with a view. They have mirrors inside so if you sit in either direction will see Lake Tahoe. But what was amazing was the people and food. The server was so well spoken and nice that it felt like middle of some great city. And the food was also top notch. The server mentions what is special which is not written in the menu and that dish was really special. Amazing experience. 😊

Best place to get beer on Monday! On Monday’s happy hr is all day! Keep in mind they close earlier on Monday. The view is great! And also on happy hr they have some meal specials. Like the MAC&CHEESE is the best thing you can get it’s delicious. Highly recommended going on Monday

Our server, Melissa was very attentive, professional and friendly. The wedge salad was incredible. One of the best I've ever had. Would highly recommend it. The fish and chips were fresh and hand battered and the view can't be beat. Great inventive drinks from their bar.

I’m so glad I visited this incredible place—it truly felt like heaven! The views of the lake, combined with outstanding service, delicious food, and a beautiful ambiance, made it an unforgettable experience. We loved everything we ordered: the calamari, shrimp tacos, and salmon were all mouth-watering, and my child’s hamburger was exceptional too—nothing was average! You can choose to dine indoors or outside by the lake, which adds to the charm. The only downside is the wait time, but once seated, the service was quick. Our server was great too. I just wish it were closer, as we live in Sacramento, but I’m more than willing to make the trip again just for the food and views!

Honestly they got some pretty good food and portion sizes for the price. Even though it is quite expensive you pay for the beautiful views of Lake Tahoe. My friends had a great time highly recommend the fried fish it was quite good. The clam chowder also looked good but it does come in a bread bowl. Overall pretty good and there’s some other places nearby to get ice cream and such. Also the way they fry things is so dam good and the zucchini fries were great.

I had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful place about a year ago, and I'm finally taking the time to share my experience. The food may be simple, but it's incredibly tasty. What truly won me over was the ambiance and the captivating view from the window. After enjoying a delightful brunch, we strolled along the beach right in front of the restaurant. The views were nothing short of breathtaking! In just a week, I'll be returning to this gem, and I'm bringing a bunch of friends along. I can't wait to see how their experience unfolds! 😊

Very nice lake-side restaurant. Try to get seating outside if the weather is good. The server Tim was quite friendly and hospitable. I ordered the calamari and it was great. Very different from all other calamari plates. It was wonderfully crispy and the calamari was a good texture. You get to see the geese and ducks hanging on the lake shore. Some might even come up to you with open mouths.

We visited during happy hour. price is fair being south lake Tahoe.\n\nThings I liked:\nGreat customer service.\nThere was a live band playing.\nFood quality was good.\nAwesome view of the beach

Loved my pulled pork but my companion who ordered the sausages found them to be extremely tastless. I agreed upon trying. But the other food was quite good. Lovely short walk down the pier.

Rum runners are delicious. Views fantastic. Lake Tahoe is amazing. Foods pretty good. Service on point. Been there many times.

Great vibes, the food was good, and can’t beat the location. Bummed we couldn’t sit outside even though there were a bunch of empty tables…

A beautiful restaurant right on the beach with great food and drink. The service is amazing, they are all so great and accommodating. The wait is quite long on the weekends, so be prepared to spend some time waiting and walking around the beach.

The Grove is located inside Richardson Park, so you’ll need to pay a $12 entrance fee to get in. That said, when I told the park ranger I was heading to The Grove, she gave me two $5 voucher coins to use toward food or drinks (one coin per item and there were 5 of us in the car). So in the end, I only paid $2 to get in! Definitely mention to the rangers that you’re going to The Grove—they might hook you up with a coin or two if they have them! The service here is fantastic. The bartenders were upbeat, friendly, and clearly enjoying themselves, which created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. We walked right up to the bar, ordered a Rum Runner (their famous specialty drink) and found a nice bench outside to sip and relax. The location is unbeatable. Tallac Shoreline is just steps behind the restaurant, making it the perfect place to grab a drink and hang out on the beach. It’s also a great spot for families—plenty of space for kids to swim and play. My only complaint is the price and inconsistency of the Rum Runners. The first time, we ordered the smaller size and loved them—delicious and totally worth it. The second time, we went for the large size and paid $74+ tip for three. They tasted overly sweet and oddly seemed to have less alcohol than the smaller ones. Definitely recommend sticking with the smaller size for the best experience! Overall, The Grove has great staff, a beautiful setting, and a laid-back beach vibe that makes it a fun stop while you’re in Tahoe!

Found a true lakeside location while in Tahoe. Go early or you will not get. Parking space. We showed up at 10:35 but by 11:20 the parking was full. Skip the Mai Tai but do not miss out on the calamari!

The ambience excited me the most about the place. Their service and location is really good. The food we expected more from the reviews online but didn’t meet our expectations. We expected to have some more flavor and kick but in contrast the food was a bit bland. The vegetarian food was average and my veg friends had more than half leftover as they couldn’t eat it. I had fish and chips, the fish was fresh but was bland. It would have been amazing if they had some flavor. Also this place is really expensive for the food but I would recommend this place for gorgeous lake experience and bar if you drink.

The food wasn't great. Tried the claim to fame clam chowder, it was just ok. Chicken Cesar wrap was not very good. view of the lake is likely why people come. Well that and the Service! Merrill was…

Our family has been going to the beacon for years. We have a cabin with many family owners. We have all been to the grove. Never again. expensive and terrible food. Dirty , old carpets and bathroom…

I’ve had some great days at The Beacon, but after the recent change in management, those days are officially over. Everything that made this place a local gem has been stripped away and replaced with a mediocre, identity-crisis experience. The biggest disappointment was the food. They’ve tried to force an "Asian twist" on the menu that absolutely nobody asked for, and it misses the mark entirely. The execution was subpar, and the quality control was nonexistent. Beyond the flavors being off, the basics were neglected; we were served in dirty glasses, which is a massive red flag for any restaurant. The service was just as weak as the kitchen. We waited far too long for simple requests, and the staff seemed totally indifferent to the poor experience we were having. We came in expecting the classic atmosphere, great food, and the Rum Runners that The Beacon was known for. Instead, the fun was sucked out of what should have been a nice day out. The spirit of the original place is completely gone. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about experience and memories.
