Marina Breakfast Company - Dollar Point

Beautiful views of the lake. Menu had nice selection of options. The food may not be fine dining but is very nice. Staff very helpful and we had a great evening and dining experience

I know this is an institution that's been in Tahoe City of 45 years and is beloved by many locals; however, for the price, this place just falls flat. The drinks were ungodly expensive, the wine list was weak and the food was tasty but uninteresting. The service was very nice and the seats by the window are nice, but the decor and overall ambiance was pretty sad.

Our table server was lovely and the view to the lake was outstanding. I had never heard of the red wines except for Darioush, at about $150 for a half bottle. I ordered the $17 cab and it was nearly undrinkable. I thought about getting a different glass, but the others were around $11. Considering the markup, those would have been awful, too. Bread plates were on the table, but no bread was offered. My Caesar with Mahi Mahi was great, the fish cooked perfectly. The Brussel Sprouts had great flavor, along with the spicy BBQ sauce. Could have been roasted a little more. Side Caesar salad was good but it would have been nice to get the anchovies we asked for. My husband's cioppino cried for more broth, but the half lobster tail was a nice addition! Otherwise, mostly shrimp. $62 is the most we've ever paid for cioppino, and he orders it all the time. We had a nice time because the table server was so warm and friendly.

From being greeted when we arrived, to all the service we received during our meal, I give Jakes a superior 5+ Stars. My wife and I had a wonderful time as always and we will return.

Entire experience was disappointing and embarrassing when bringing out of town guests. Server did not understand menu, did not serve water, delayed cocktail drinks, over explained rational and justifications for why from server and manager on food delivered. They did offer more food or drink service, but it was just too late in meal to enjoy. Won't be coming back as there are just other places in Tahoe to enjoy.
