I came on a Sunday and sat at the bar. There were other customers, but it wasn't very busy. My Painkiller and Mai Tai tasted good but weren't the classic recipe. The Painkiller, in particular, had a lot of rum and not much of the fruit and coconut flavor it's supposed to have -- so good on them for not being stingy with the alcohol, I guess. My Filthy Martini was quite good. I had the avgolemono soup, which was large and hearty. I also had the mezze platter, which was really excellent. It was supposed to be an appetizer, but it was more than enough for an entree. Service was prompt. My biggest complaint is that they don't have free wifi. That is, they do have wifi (you can see the available but locked network), but they refuse to give you the password. Why? It's a convenience for customers, and it costs them nothing.
Was quite crowded and had to wait for a bit to get a table for 5. Once seated the service was very good and the food was amazing. The appetizer platter is a decent portion size. All the dishes we ordered were very good. The ambiance is nice and we were glad we could be seated inside as it was windy and cold outside.
Friendly service, beautiful view of the lake and quick to get you drinks and food. Looking forward to coming back again for a Turkish coffee and trying some of the Greek wings and the houlimi cheese braised in brandy.
We ordered through door dash, mostly for ease but in the future I would order through their page directly. We love Artemis! Been eating here for years though this may have been the first time we ordered take out from the ski run location. We ordered a few things. The chicken gyro which is always excellent. The Greek salad also always excellent. A lamb kabob which was cooked to perfection. The only real issue was the kids spaghetti. (I know we ordered a non Greek food item from a Greek place, but ya know kids!) The pasta was cooked well but it was supposed to have butter and Parmesan cheese on it. And there was only a light amount of cheese on it and we didn't see or taste the butter. So I'd say everything was great but I recommend not getting the kids pasta. The gyro meat is also really really good!! I get it on the side and add it to my salad. Inside the restaurant was very quiet probably because of the Super Bowl. There were at least two people working in the front, no one greeted me when I came in and it wasn't busy at all.
Cute layback cafe with a bar. We had brunch. A gyro platter and one of a kind baklava French toast Delicious food Great service. They have an apple toddy that we will come back and try.
What a beautiful spot to stop by and have lunch! We were sat in the back as we were a pretty large group. Jose was able to serve us quickly & he was super cool! The food was tasty and everyone was amazed by the large portions. If you're in need of a place to snack or have a full meal this is a great atmosphere! There is also a bar in the front if you just want to stop by for a drink and hangout spot. Great for a stop on your vacation.
Right by the lake so a great place to stop by if you're going to go boating after or before. Inside there is a decent amount of seating and they have a good amount outside too. The staff is nice and service was relatively fast no complaints there. I ordered the spinach pita and green pomegranate tea. The pita was well filled and tasted good but lacked some salt or seasoning however they do have hot sauce so I just dumped that on it. The green tea was served in a ceremonial way with a tea pot and a glass to pour it into. Flavor was pretty standard green tea.
The food here is excellent and you can't beat the location with views of Lake Tahoe. The outside patio seemed fitting of the mediterranean vibe, but opted for inside seating since it was a bit on the cooler side. The service was also top notch. This is a great stop for all of you out of town visitors.
It's a nice cold place with a fun outdoor area. They Sat us pretty quickly, the wait for food was moderate. Our waiter was nice but also couldn't be bothered... The food was fantastic. - Lamb gyros - loved it. The meat was tasty, the bread was fresh and the goodies on top kept it moist and delicious. I swapped fries with Caesar salad which was very nice. - Chicken Souvlaki Plate - also very good, good option and flavor. Definitely recommend.
We ate here after our boat rental day and the food and lakeside atmosphere was fantastic! I will admit it was a bit on the salty side, but the flavors were very pronounced in all the dishes. Our favorites were the lettuce cups (don't knock em till you try em), lamb burger, and moussaka (which is a sort of eggplant and meat greek lasagna).
