Gar Woods Grill & Pier American Restaurant ·$$$

This restaurant, located on a stunning long pier overlooking Lake Tahoe, is a quintessential lakeside haven, complete with a romantic ambiance that comes alive under the stars and unforgettable views. This one-of-a-kind restaurant is named after Garfield Wood, who made a name for himself in the boating industry from the 1920s to the 1940s. The mahogany interior of the restaurant is reminiscent of Lake Tahoe's wooden boat era, and huge, floor-to-ceiling windows provide a spectacular view of the pier and waterfront. The Fish Tacos are a popular choice on the menu, and the Lobster Shrimp Bisque is highly recommended by regular customers.

Awesome views here but overly priced! The fish tacos were good. I was in awe how much my vodka soda was, felt like I was paying the prices as if I were at the airport.

Meh it's a great consistent place in Tahoe - but beware the crowds. I should have been more prepared for this, but the first time I went was in December and no one was there. September on a Friday...

First off- you can't beat the ambience. Sitting on the pier. Watching boats come and go. Dogs playing in the water. Then there is the food- we had fish and chips, burgers, Service is spot on....

We were on the North Shore with friends and wanted to take them out to a place that had a good lake view. Hadn't been to Gar Woods in a couple years. It is arguably the best location on the...
