Captain Jon's

It is unfortunate because we have a vacation home in Tahoe Vista and were really looking forward to this place opening under new management because it is such a nice location.  However, we definitely will not go back!  Although the food was "okay" ~ for the price, it was like eating at a diner.  We had a reservation that they could not find although they phoned to confirm, the hostess did not understand english, the waiter did not know the specials (there were only two), although they have white tablecloths, the silverware was cafeteria style, mismatched, something you throw away, not use.  We were looking forward to "fine dining" on the lake which is definitely not what we got.  We had one cocktail, one beer, one salad, two entrees = $100, which is okay, if it was even an okay dining experience, which it was not.  If you want a fine dining experience on the lake, I would recommend:  Garwoods, Jake's, or Sunnyside.  They are all about the same price as Captain Jon's, but the food is great, a really nice dining experience and you are right on the lake! If you want to spend a little more, go to Incline.  There is a terrific restaurant on the lake that is really great, but be prepared to pay $200+ for 2.

After reading the previous reviews I was a little skeptical but while at the nearby beach was given a recommendation so decided to give it a try.. the reviews couldn't have been further from the truth. Coupled with an incredible lakeside view this place was amazing. My wife had the rainbow trout which she said was amazing and I had the salmon wellington. My son enjoyed his fish and chips and we all really liked the ahi appetizer. I found our waiter to be very attentive and accomodating as well as informative suggesting numerous options for hiking in the area. All in all a great dining experience and we have plans for another visit. Maybe the multiple bad reviews were a result of previous management as we were informed that the restaurant has a new owner.

Love this place. The view and fish and chips are perfect!
