Since 1988 Gar Woods Grill & Pier has been the premier North Lake Tahoe waterfront dining destination. Ideally situated on the shore of Lake Tahoe in beautiful Carnelian Bay, Gar Woods showcases the nostalgic ambiance of Tahoe’s classic wooden boat era. Our waterfront location offers sweeping vistas of the lake and surrounding mountains, providing an unparalleled setting for a spectacular event on the lake. Gar Woods is an upscale casual restaurant with a 'fun in the sun' atmosphere. Our chef has created a menu highlighting California cuisine, hand cut steaks and fresh Pacific seafood. Lake Tahoe sunsets are our specialty.

Our beautiful view, outstanding food, and central location make Gar Woods one of the finest banquet facilities on Lake Tahoe. The easily accessible long pier offers great possibilities for those wanting to make a dramatic entrance or exit by boat. Upstairs, private dining rooms can accommodate groups of up to 160. With floor to ceiling windows, lake view balcony, and an “Old Tahoe” feeling with exposed beam ceilings and hickory chairs, our private dining rooms are hard to beat. For groups larger than 150, our coveted amenity, the deck may also be reserved along with the entire restaurant for your special event.
