Christy Hill

Went for Valentine’s dinner and it was such a vibe - cozy and romantic. We started with the oxtail ravioli (so good) and had the Moroccan Spiced Lamb and Prime Black Angus Hanger Steak for our mains. We ordered the steak medium, but it came out a little undercooked for our preference - still tasty though! Loved all the flavors and presentation. Service was friendly and welcoming.

Food is decent but portions are very small for the price. Duck portion size was almost laughable. Basicly a single narrow strip for almost $50. Building is dated and needs some TLC. Service was great and very attentive. The location and views are what makes this place stand out unfortunately not the food.

Christy Hill is a restaurant that understands restraint, confidence, and a strong sense of place. Perched above Lake Tahoe, the view is undeniably spectacular, but what distinguishes Christy Hill from countless destination restaurants is that the kitchen does not rely on scenery to carry the experience. There is real intent on the plate. We ordered broadly across the menu, focusing on dishes that best express the kitchen’s range. The hamachi crudo was clean and properly handled, with good balance and freshness, though it leaned conservative. Pleasant and technically sound, but not particularly distinctive. A solid 7/10. The grilled octopus was excellent. Perfectly tender with a confident char, deeply savory without becoming heavy, and well judged in its seasoning. This was octopus cook

Sand bar is like the outside limited menu of Christy Hill. Reserve to get seating inside, great views and larger menu. But we just out outside because the weather was great and can see the golden Mountain View during sunset. Food was pretty good, lobster roll could use more lobster, ceviche’s could be a bit more flavorful. Great live performance though and the ambiance is top notch

The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The food was superb and they even brought out a complimentary chocolate croissant bread pudding because they knew I was celebrating my birthday. Well worth it if you are in the Tahoe City area.
