Description: Combining American contemporary with Mediterranean and Pacific Rim influences, the cuisine at the Big Water Grille offers a delightful culinary experience to the most discriminating diners. Throw in spectacular panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and a classy Tahoe decor that incorporates upscale art, and you have a truly memorable evening. You can celebrate a romantic special occasion here or just stop by after skiing (Diamond Peak Ski Resort is just up the road). The roaring fire in the cozy bar up front is especially inviting on a cold winter’s evening—the perfect place to enjoy an appetizer of miso-glazed wild hamachi. The outdoor deck is especially inviting for dinner at sunset during the summer. Menu selections vary, but could include such delights as cervina venison chops or summer truffle squab breast. Be sure to take a look at the petroglyph designs and etched glass that make the atmosphere unique. The restaurant is open for dinner nightly, with cocktails and appetizers served from 4:30 p.m. and dinner from 5:30 p.m. Be sure to call ahead.
