    Nice view. Tables set way too close together, uncomfortable. Food was good. Lacking in portion. Music they were playing was extremely faint, either play the music, or not at all. Food also took 45 minutes to come out. Overall, good. Would recommend. I came around 7pm, but def believe with this restaurant and vibe, lunch is prob their strong suit.

    Starting the summer off with lunch on the deck at Sunnyside is the best! Tahoe view is excellent and the food is always great: our table ordered zucchini sticks (naturally), burgers and lots of beer battered fish tacos - yum! And of course there were delicious beverages: Mai Tais, the Refresh, Mojitos and some Scribe Rosé. All the staff is extremely friendly and our servers were all very kind, friendly, and efficient. Five star experience all around.
