Sunnyside Steakhouse & Lodge

Sunnyside Steakhouse & Lodge has been a landmark on Lake Tahoe since the 1950s. With its pristine location directly on the shores of Lake Tahoe’s west side, Sunnyside is a year-round destination.

In the winter, the lodge is the perfect place to relax and warm up after a day on the slopes at one of Tahoe’s renowned ski resorts. During warmer months the lakefront deck is a popular gathering place for guests and locals alike, and everything from boating and water-skiing to hiking and biking is nearby.

Classic, lodge-style decor makes each of Sunnyside’s 23 guestrooms and suites a comfortable place to unwind. Goose-down pillows and comforters are luxurious touches, and private patios and decks mean relaxation is just steps away.

The Lakeside Dining Room offers a menu centered around steaks and chops, featuring prime and Certified Angus Beef®. In addition to steakhouse fare, you will find fresh seafood and traditional entrée favorites. The wine list features a collection of varieties carefully selected to complement the varied menu.

On the deck and in the bar, the lively Mountain Grill serves more casual fare with a wonderful selection of beer and wine by the glass or bottle.

Sunnyside Steakhouse & Lodge located at 1850 W. Lake Blvd.,
Tahoe City, CA 96145. For more information please call
