coming from some of the best food places (nyc and sf), I was pleasantly surprised with Spindleshanks. I had some great lemongrass chicken and the hawaiian poki was terrific. My boyfriend didn't really like his brisket, but what was he expecting? good wine list, nice waitress. I'd recommend for after skiing if you want a pretty good dinner - pricey, for tahoe though...chicken was $22, steaks are $25 and up.
Pros: after-ski atmosphere, wine list, bar
Cons: brisket, lots of large groups, small dining room
