North Shore: The Soule Domain Restaurant  

Located in King's Beach near the Crystal Bay casinos, is The Soule Domain Restaurant. The Soule Domain is an adventure in equal parts creative cuisine and romantic dining experience. The restaurant is housed in a rustic log cabin, complete with exposed rafters and a stone fireplace. The atmosphere is warm and glowing, offering a perfect complement to the gourmet dining experience.

Chef/owner Charlie Soule, a lifetime resident of Lake Tahoe, focuses on freshness for his restaurant. He serves free-range or organic meats and poultry, and fresh local produce whenever possible. The specialty of the house is his uniquely created sauces which he uses to embellish the dishes. Even the most traditional meals are made slightly new with this inspired, culinary twist.

The menu is wide ranging, and entrees are priced from $17 to $29. The white tablecloth service is professional and the overall impression is charming. No wonder The Soule Domain has been voted Tahoe's "Best Place to Take a Date" for 15 years in a row!

South Shore: The Beacon Bar & Grill

Located in the city of South Lake Tahoe, The Beacon Bar & Grill is well known as a local favorite. The Beacon offers casual dining, live music and an extraordinary lakeside seating option with tables close enough to the water that you can eat with your toes in the sand!

Their signature dish is clam chowder, but they are probably best known for their "famous" Rum Runner cocktail. A tropical variation of the Mai Tai, the Rum Runner, according to many an experienced patron, is best enjoyed on a hot day, sitting on the beachside deck while taking in the incredible view.

While great restaurants help draw the crowds, the main attraction of Lake Tahoe remains its incomparable natural beauty.
