The Boathouse is located at the Beach Retreat & Lodge hotel in South Lake Tahoe and offers a unique dining experience over the waters of Lake Tahoe. The restaurant is only open during the summer, but you can enjoy lunch or dinner on a pier with no walls to separate you from the blue water of Lake Tahoe.
The Boathouse offers casual dining and cocktails and has become a local favorite. The menu includes seasonal and fresh creations that won't break your wallet. Lunch items include Baked Brie ($13) with grapes and apples, New England Clam Chowder ($7/$10), the Boathouse Burger ($13) served on a brioche bun and the Fish Tacos ($13) with Mahi-Mahi. For dinner enjoy cocktails or California wines with Pan Seared Scallops ($18) or the fresh fish of the day.
