“average food, dirty utensils”

I think I was expecting too much based on the reviews. We ordered 3 appetizers and split one entree for 2 people. We like to do that so we can sample a variety. California cheesecake was delicious. Jumbo gulf shrimp was good but can't say too much, they did doctor up the cocktail sauce a bit. Stuffed mushrooms were swimming... more

“Unique and Delicious”

Dining at Nephele's was a wonderful experience. The unique Californian cuisine makes in the best of South Lake Tahoe. We ordered the "seafood cheesecake" appetizer. It was like nothing we had even eaten before and it was delicious with some bread. For the main course, we had the lamb. If it is available then I would highly recommend getting it.... more

The service was Excellent, The food was Excellent, The restaurant atmosphere was Excellent. We loved it! The only ok part was the bar crowd. A lot of regulars in the bar area that were a little on the rowdy side. It was just odd given the quality of food, wine, service and restaurant atmosphere. more

If you want to relax after an amazing meal you can rent one of their hots tubs. They'll even serve you wine while you're in there. A very California experience. But better than the hot tubs is the food. My husband had their lamb chops and he was in heaven. I'm a vegi and had a great meal-I think it... more

We had a family reunion in South Lake Tahoe and wanted to find a restaurant for our cousins dinner. Nephele's was an excellent choice as they were so accommodating with arrangements. The food was excellent, with a great selection of appetizers and entrees and specials to meet the needs of a variety of tastes. The food was fresh and original.... more

Arrived early for our 5:30pm reservation at Nepheles on Ski Run Blvd. We noted that Cafe Fiore is located right behind Nepheles and were pleased, as we have a reservation to dine there in March. Nepheles is a small, intimate, rustic restaurant/bar that has been in operation for 30 years. The dining area is small with about 10 tables in... more

This place offers a wonderful dining experience. It was an experience rather than just a meal because the service was excellent, our server, B-Roy was superb, the atmosphere was perfect - fine dining but casual, and the food was fantastic. Definitely a Top 5 of any places we've ever dined. We loved it, we are a three generation family with... more
