Lake Tahoe, River Ranch, Great BBQ, but Restaurant, yecchh..

This summer (and last) while at Lake Tahoe, we went to the River Ranch Patio BBQ several times and had really enjoyable food. It is the perfect ending when rafting on the Truckee River.

So we thought, why not enjoy the river side scenery in the evening and eat in the main sit down restaurant. A tad bit pricy, two folks over $140.00. Anyway the River Ranch's restaurant was abysmal. The wedge salad was OK, but the blue cheese dressing was watery and strange. Everything, I mean everything had a thin gruel of cream style corn. Is the Chef crazy or just Lazy? Far too many dishes used a thin gruel of cream style corn. The Cream of Asparagus Soup, was tasteless, and had the corn added. The Pork chop was very dry and overcooked, but for the cream style corn that it floated in. The Venison also lay soaking in a pool of cream style corn. Have you ever desired flavorless raw florettes of Venison? Well go to the River Ranch Restaurant.
