Can you picture the perfect summer day in Tahoe? Close your eyes and think of warm rays from the morning sun casting sparkling silver glimmers on the lake. Maybe you’re getting ready to launch your paddleboard, kayak or boat. Maybe you’re getting geared up to hit your favorite trail for a run, hike or bike ride. Or maybe you’re taking it easy, planning a spa day or leisurely stroll through the local shops.
All that’s missing is a healthy and hearty meal. But with all the choices, where do you go?
Look no further than Crosby’s Kitchen and Cocktails, a summertime hot spot in Incline Village.
Locally loved Crosby’s offers a diverse menu to help you refuel and recharge after your high-elevation adventures and endeavors. The best part might just be the environment though, as Crosby’s offers guests creekside seating in their spacious open patio, where shade, sunshine and scents from the surrounding pine trees are plentiful.
Or opt to sit inside to experience more interactive amenities. Here you can find cozy seating and watch a sports game on a large-screen TV or play poker at one of their 10 digital gaming stations.
With recent renovations at the nearby Hyatt and closure of the legendary Lone Eagle Grill, Incline Village is undergoing an exciting transformation. Russell Jones, owner and operator of Crosby’s Kitchen and Cocktails, sees this as an opportunity to capitalize on new innovations and growth to cater to the evolving atmosphere, lifestyle and tastes while staying true to his loyal community base.
“I really try to create a diverse menu to cater to everyone’s palate,” Jones says. “I want to use this golden opportunity to evolve and expand the menu, to build upon what we have and experiment with healthier and more flavorful options, such as seafood, chicken and salads.”
With sustainability and longevity at the forefront of the culinary and lifestyle industries, it’s no surprise that Jones envisions bringing new meals that reflect those trends to Lake Tahoe, a haven for healthy living. However, he still is passionate about staying true to his menu and customer favorites like chicken and waffles, wings, burgers and tacos.
The fusion of timeless traditions and modern trends has been at the forefront of the Tahoe region for the past few decades, and Jones’ plans to capitalize on these could help move Incline Village further into the spotlight as a top summer destination during this exciting transitional time.
Jones and his staff are currently preparing for the summer season, which begins right after Memorial Day. He hopes that you will make Crosby’s an unforgettable part of your experience here, and he can’t wait to see you at the patio for a signature cocktail or carefully crafted culinary experience.
Crosby’s is open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (bar open until 10 p.m.)
