Trokay Truckee Reviews
Wow. A hidden gem in the mountains. We visit Michelin Star
Wow. A hidden gem in the mountains. We visit Michelin Star restaurants around the world and this place is in the same caliber. Truly creative dishes and amazing wine pairings. We've been at least 4 times and it's a highlight every time we time to come up to Truckee.
Trokay is a phenomenal place to eat.
I have been gluten free for over a decade now. My wife and I celebrated my 56th birthday in Tahoe. I went to medical school at UNR. we stayed in the Northstar area but a highlight was having dinner at Trokay.
Unpretentious for a fine dining restaurant.
Great variety of dishes/flavors. Really fresh, seasonal ingredients. Awesome building and dining area. Great staff. Our favorite place in Tahoe, we've been 4 or 5 times. It's pricey, but I don't think that should be a surprise and it costs a lot to make food like that.

Out in the Lake Tahoe area on a family vacation, and found this place on yelp in search of good food. My teen children have never been exposed to food prepared or presented this way, and I thought it was about time. The experience was excellent! The food was incredible. Definately not something most could afford or justify oftern, but if and when you can you will not be disapointed. Very friendly staff... Highly recommended. So many "firsts" for my kids including truffles, caviar, edible flowers to name a few.

Well well well As I write this my mouth has been through a glorious road to heaven and back. When los lonely boys asked how far is heaven...if you put in "Trokay" in your GPS you'll have a better idea. If you paid a lot in taxes this year you deserve to treat yo self. Come here and do it . Make a rezzzy and go to food heaven. Thank you Trokay... Thank you.
Great night, great food - we'll be back
Exceptional food, great service, impeccable pairing, definitely worth one if not 2 Michelin stars. So yes it is expensive but worth every penny (while they still exist :-)) for us. Highly recommend the place for a special occasion (was our anniversary) or just to have a great meal but be prepared as if you were going to a Michelin-star restaurant, not a steak house or casual food even if you are in Truckee.

Such a warm and friendly feel that isn't always felt in high quality restaurants of this type of cuisine. Michelin level preparation, flavor, and presentation.
I'm sad to write I did not enjoy my NYE dinner at Trokay.
This was my 3rd time dining here, and the other 2xs were 5+ stars!! But this last time, was very disappointing. The restaurant was exceptionally busy, likely due to the holiday. I've never seen kids here before, but saw a bunch this time. We had the pre-fixe menu, I got the shrimp (ate 2, gave 1 to my bf) and I had the fish. I ate everything, but the food was just mediocre, my bf and I kept saying that the entire dinner. The service was OK, but not like it has been previously. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu, but she was a little bit awkward (but still nice/polite)! We asked for extra bread and jam, and the guy who delivered the extra jam slammed it on our table and then they told us we could buy it if we wanted to-I replied yes I know, we bought some last time. But it was weird, like they didn't want to give us extra bread or jam. I think my desert was the best dish I had this time...and then 20-30 min after dinner, I had the WORSE, most painful stomach cramps I've ever had! I'm thinking it was from my fish dish (or else it was the shrimp?). The pain lasted until the next morning. When you pay $800 for a fine dining meal, you have certain expectations about the food, service, ambience etc. And you don't expect to get sick, so I don't think we will be dining at Trokay anymore. We kept joking at dinner like we felt like we got "TROKAYED" and this was before I got deathly sick!!
My Husband and I invited a couple friends to celebrate
My Husband and I invited a couple friends to celebrate there birthdays. We had the most amazing dinner from the amuse bouche to the desert! The 4 of us have tried most of the Michelin star restaurants in San Francisco and we all agreed how much Trokay deserved one. Every single dish was spot on in terms of flavor, texture and aesthetics. Especially, I would like to shine the spot light on the beef dish that not only brought out the amazing flavor of the ingredients but also had the perfect balance with acidity that we do not often find in this type of dish. Also, the service was impeccable provided by a very welcoming team. Thank you Trokay's team and Chefs John and Nyna Weatherson for this amazing culinary experience.
Our favorite restaurant in the area.
Everything is amazing. The staff, the food, the desserts. The only problem is I have to drive to Truckee to eat there! Highly recommend!
Absolutely outstanding food and service.
Michelin should be giving them a star. We went for our 28th wedding anniversary and loved it.
Really enjoyed my 4 course dinner at Trokay last night.
The service was attentive and friendly. The mini biscuits with pepper jelly were great and I ended up purchasing two jars of the jelly. I overheard the server tell the table next to mine that Trokay used to be a cafe with pastries and jellies but converted to a restaurant, but the jelly is a nod to the old cafe. For the summer 2024 menu, I chose the summer salad, morels, tenderloin, and the peaches. All delicious and lovely presentation. After dessert, a tin of mini cookies was presented. From past menus I've seen on yelp, I may not have enjoyed it as much as I did last night because most of the options appealed to me. Hope to be back as long as the menu options look good (I am not much of an adventurous eater). Lots of desserts were sent out with a candle so it definitely seems to be a place to celebrate special occasions.

We visited for the ten course tasting menu to celebrate a special occasion. The staff was kind and accommodating, checking on us but not too often. For the food itself, the highs were really high but the lows were low. Overall it was a ton of food, with several courses having multiple tasting elements. Definitely consider skipping lunch before you come. Much like the food, the wine pairings were underwhelming for some courses while incredible for others. Not having a Cab with some of the heavier dishes felt like a bit of a miss as California is known for its Cabs. The price point for this restaurant is high so I was surprised that they charge an additional fee for water and coffee, which is a bill that comes at the end. The restaurant had a great energy and I would recommend it for a celebration. We will definitely be back to try the 4 course option!
Got the 4 course dining menu and the dinner was just
Got the 4 course dining menu and the dinner was just incredible! This place follows the general theme of fine-dining new American category restaurants and is amazing. The ambiance is cozy but clean and the staff service was extremely attentive and very informational. It's clear this restaurant cares about its impact on the truckee community and pays mind to its heritage. The food is great! They make some creative but balanced takes on soups, salads, entrees, and desserts. They also give a number of small bites between the courses that were my highlight. Strongly recommend checking out this place and the whole downtown strip!
Delicious and original, lots of distinctive flavors and
Delicious and original, lots of distinctive flavors and textures harmoniously mixed, beautiful presentation. Service perfect. A wonderful experience !
For my 41st birthday, we did the tasting menu with wine
For my 41st birthday, we did the tasting menu with wine paring and added the caviar option. Do it. JUST DO IT. Amazing service,the chef even signed my birthday menu. The atmosphere was old school Truckee classic. Thank you so MUCH.
Totally overpriced
Well, food is not bad but not for $500 for 4 dishes and bottle wine. I would say it's regular food, not pretending for more)
Waitress was awesome - because food took so long to arrive
Waitress was awesome - because food took so long to arrive that wine pairings were finished long before things arrived (45 mins for a course). Sommelier so bad that I'm leaving this review -- rude, patronising, forgot to come to us at one point until we reminded him (and he didn't apologise). 6/10 food reduced to a 0 by contemptible service all round.
This place was amazing! One thing I've always wanted to do
This place was amazing! One thing I've always wanted to do was to go venture out to tasting menu restaurants and I'm so glad I found Trokay! The chef was super nice and I enjoyed talking to her between courses! The servers were great as well, I honestly fell in love with the ambiance of this place! Looks secluded and like a true fine dining experience! I can't wait to come back here in the future, eager to see what changes occur in the menu and what else they've brought in!
Great restaurant.
Beautiful presentations five courses and . Sumptuous food. The amuse bouche/biscuits and the bisque spiced with garam masala worthy of 5 stars on its own. Definitely for foodies to appreciate. The staff could not be better including the owner who spent time with us. The best restaurant in North Lake/Truckee.
We celebrated our anniversary on our first visit to Trokay.
Our experience all around was fantastic. We ordered the cavier and champagne starter, the 4 course meal accompanied by the wine pairings. All were fantastic and the service was equally as good. We will certainly be back.
Great food.
Great service. Great wine. Beautiful restaurant. Hidden gem of a bar that you can get drinks at even if you aren't eating that night.
We had previously dined at Trokay years ago and were
We had previously dined at Trokay years ago and were excited to try it again for a special birthday dinner. The food was very good however the service for both food and wine was very inattentive and seemed to be reading from a poorly rehearsed script. We selected the prix fixed menu with the wine pairing. On arrival to the restaurant, we had to wait at the unattended host stand for several minutes until someone acknowledged us. Once seated it was another 10 minutes or so before we were offered Champagne and menus. The waiter did not offer to explain anything on the menu and came about 10 minutes later to take our order. I had the halibut which was good however the lamb my husband had was just average. For the price point of this restaurant, I would expect a higher level of service. On a bright note, the dessert and cookies at the end of the meal were exceptional.
Stopped in on our way through Truckee.
Made a reservation and WOW!!! It was so good. Beautiful bottle of wine ( choice of the sommelier ) wonderful food! Caviar starter was great, great service. If you want a mountain sheik dinner this is the place to go

Their regular fine dining is terrific but today we tried their Burgers & Brews luncheon special which they bring out several times a year. Best way to describe is wonderful service with a fantastic burger & fries at bargain price.

It's so clear that the chef knows what he's doing, but from the host that barely spoke to us and made no eye contact, to the very erratic and unfocused food, it was just disappointing. There's potential to pick a direction for the food and go there, but instead it's too much and it's all inconsistent and lackluster. I wouldn't say we felt welcome or that the staff was on top of the service, which is a shame because there was a lot of technique in how the food was made and presented. Not ever going back. I hate posting bad reviews but I felt mislead by the other reviews for this restaurant.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Trokay Truckee at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Trokay Truckee page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Trokay Truckee to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Trokay Truckee!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
