Dinner last night!! An amazing dining experience with friends.
has curated a unique menu with delicious cuisine. The restaurant is beautiful and the vibe is fresh.
Lots of beautiful items to share..
Makes sure to try Andrew’s sourdough focaccia with bagna cauda..
Hamachi Crudo with jicama, pears, chilies-absolutely fabulous
Pan roasted gnocchi with duck confit, chanterelle mushrooms, arugula, and a poached egg unique and tasty.

The Black cod with butter beans, Cipollini, arugula, harissa cream, and shallots was my fav..
Unbelievably delicious
And the desserts were stellar ❤️

So much to share -so many choices!
Can’t wait to go back!

We so needed this restaurant..
Thank you for bringing us new cuisine and waking us up from the same old tired menus in Tahoe!!!

Time for a creative retreat?

Join Laurel LaCocco and Priya Hutner for a one day creative retreat in The Dome in Glenshire.
Meditation, Breathwork, Creative writing, Art and Self Discovery .

“Writing can be a way to shift activity into the right brain, access what is just beneath the surface of our typical daily awareness, and move out of “planning/doing/analyzing” mode.
Artists of every medium know that entering creative flow, allowing spontaneous expression to move through them, without trying to direct the outcome, allows for something new to happen. Authenticity occurs.
The result can shock, delight, amaze, and occasionally even inspire us. Improvisation can heal our brains! By increasing neurogenesis (new brain cells being born) which reduces anxiety..
