115 Grove Street, Tahoe City, CA
Christy Hill Lakeside Bistro is one of the prime fine-dining experiences in North Lake Tahoe. Perfectly situated to take in the beautiful views of Lake Tahoe with no obstructions (it is a mere 100 feet off the water), Christy Hill has the ambiance of pure romance and the finer things in life. The menu is rich and flavorful, with dishes that lend to blending the flavors of California and the Mediterranean. A few recommended dishes include Osso Buco di Maiale, a pork shank with gremolata, butter beans and apple butter-braised greens, or the Moroccan spice lamb loin with celery root-pistachio puree, olive stuffed piquillo peppers and charmoula sauce. To help accentuate the meal, the servers are well educated in pairing wines to their menu items. For dessert, an absolute favorite is the chocolate croissant bread pudding.
