    Dragonfly

    Cal-Asian fusion really shines at this handsome upstairs spot where Billy McCullough works his magic with fresh produce and a potpourri of spices. At lunchtime try one of the fragrant 'dragon bowls.'

  3. Spindleshanks

    Spindleshanks looks like an all-American country cabin but has a chef who draws inspiration from around the world. Udon noodles and lemongrass chicken share a menu with grilled ribs, filet mignon and rack of lamb.

    Freshie's

    From vegans to steak-lovers, nobody should have a problem finding a favorite on the extensive menu of this local mainstay with its exotic Hawaiian looks. Most of the produce is local and organic, and the fish tacos are the best in town.

    OB's Pub & Restaurant

    Creaky wooden beams and Old West paraphernalia form the rough-and-tumble setting of this Truckee institution. The menu makes some gutsy departures from the burger-and-sandwich circuit with such offerings as wild mushroom strudel and Thai beef salad.

    Evans

    This intimate and elegant dining room inside a little Tahoe cabin has been a highlight on the local foodie map for quite some time. It scores big for its exquisitely prepared and flavor-intensive Cal-French cuisine, subtle but attentive service and expertly put-together wine list. Reservations advised.

    Ahwahnee Dining Room

    The formal ambience (mind your manners) may not be for everybody, but few would not be awed by the sumptuous decor, soaring beamed ceiling and palatial chandeliers. The menu is constantly in flux, but most dishes have perfect pitch and are beautifully presented. There's a dress code at dinner, but otherwise shorts and sneakers are OK. Sunday brunch is amazing.
