We waited over 1 hour for our food which would have been very upsetting excpet for the fact that the view (and the drinks) were worth the time.

We use the Margaritaville cocktail blender to make Wet Woody's (have never made a margarita with it!). The outdoor seating is great and the views are awesome. Map updates are paused. We too were given the ingredients and experimented until we got it right. These are the bomb.

The server was very attentive in spite of the slow food delivery.Total bill was $100 which was high (but standard for Tahoe). Own or manage this property?

On nice days (this was) the patio has a superb view overlooking Lake Tahoe. This restaurant was recommended by locals and we are sure glad we listened! Oh, and we don't use the sweet and sour.

Went to Gar Woods for dinner with the family (2 adults 2 kids). Gar Woods Grill & Pier Restaurant: World Famous Wet Woody - See 735 traveler reviews, 209 candid photos, and great deals for Carnelian Bay, CA, at Tripadvisor. Discounted Wet Woodys with twice the float served on the side- it's a Topless Woody! One of the nicer restaurant on North Shore, located near the water at Carnelian Bay. Try the homemade chips and onion dip. There is ample parking onsite. Fabulous view. Great view and lively atmosphere had us slurping down our “Wet Woody’s” quickly. This is the version of our website addressed to speakers of English in the United States.

We arrived almost 45 minutes prior to our reservation and they offered to seat us early, attesting to the large capacity of the facility, even on a Saturday night. Salad selections were cold, crispy, and tasty.

The food was very bland, (two different entree salads and French Onion soup) although the kids liked theirs (burger and chicken).

Own or manage this property? Excellent food.

One of the fish selections was a bit cold, and it was promptly replaced with a hot one.

Killer Views.

When visiting during the ski season thaw out in front of the three-story tall river rock fireplace with a Warm Woody or a Heavenly bottom.

Southern Home of the Wet Woody® Since 1998 Riva Grill on the Lake has been the premier South Lake Tahoe waterfront dining destination. We grabbed a, 5000 N Lake Blvd, Carnelian Bay, CA 96140. Great to sit on the deck and watch the boats go by. I had a couple of the "Wet Willie" signature drinks which were great.

The views cannot be beat the patio is right on the shoreline.

Beautiful view.

We declined and instead found a table in the bar. Good drinks is an understatement. Younger / stiffer /harder / more expensive?

Tasty food and great service! Food is excellent.

Our entrée choices included a pasta dish, and several fish selections. We had really good crab sandwich and coconut shrimp. Review tags are currently only available for English language reviews. Map updates are paused.

They also had a nice selection of draft beers and wine. Drinks also are pricey.Then again, there aren't many inexpensive, decent restaurants on North Shore. They featured "Wet Woody Wednesdays" and the special house drinks are only $4.75 all day long, each Wed. That's half price!

Seating on the deck during the summer.

The Wet Woody - GAR WOODS SIGNATURE COCKTAIL Drive 'em hard and put it away wet!

We found that using thawed frozen concentrates rather than juices worked better and did not get diluted with the ice. Serving sizes were generous, so we were unable to try the desserts. Gar Woods has a great location overlooking the lake in Carnelian Bay. All were very good. We had coconut prawns for an appetizer, delicious! *Restrictions apply.

Others in our party of 6 had Onion Soup/Salad, Filet Mignon, Braised Short Ribs, Coconut Prawns and Chicken Tenders for our grandchild. Lunch overlooking the lake! Next time we will stick to lunch, as the outdoor deck can't be beat. We have proofs / rums / prices to match.

Gar likes the glazed look. Drinks are out of this world!

This might be a one time dining experience for most just to say you've been there.However, you'll need to make reservations because the restaurant is crowded, especially on the weekends.

The very large dining deck is glassed in on the sides and has multiple heaters, making it a pleasant dining venue, even in the cool breeze of the evening.Table service was prompt, friendly and provided us with Kid’s menus for the two little ones in our group (along with crayons and drawing paper for the little ones).

Expensive to over priced in my opinion. Ahi dinner for $35; filet for $39.Coffee...$3.90 for a cup!
