Gar Woods Grill and Pier Restaurant

Visitors staying in Carnelian Bay holiday homes should consider dining at Gar Woods Grill and Pier Restaurant, which has been delighting tourists to the Tahoe area since 1988. Considered a premier waterfront restaurant, Gar Woods features windows that stretch from floor to ceiling so that even during the winter months when people come to the area for its wonderful skiing opportunities, diners can enjoy the sight of Lake Tahoe's deep blue waters. In the spring, summer, and fall, many actually choose to take their meals outdoors on the spacious deck and balconies that overlook the water and provide views of the magnificent Sierra Nevada Mountains as well.

Gar Woods specializes in high quality steaks that are hand cut as well as a variety of Pacific seafood. An extensive wine list offers many vintages from California including several wines that can be ordered by the glass as well as by the bottle. A must-try beverage is the 'Wet Woody'; Gar Woods has served more than 2 million of these drinks since opening.

The dining style at Gar Woods is best described as casual elegance.
