This is a great local Truckee restaurant. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and so we chose to sit outdoors with our two labrador fur babies. I ordered the beet salad and really enjoyed it. The greens were fresh and crispy and lots of beets on the plate. Hubby had the fish sandwich and it looked and tasted great (my one bite). We both ordered the lavender lemonade which is great too. The outdoor seating can be loud. Not only are you competing with the loud music they play, there are plenty of dogs barking and traffic noise to compete with as well. We will return soon though and dine indoors.

We took one of those "beat the heat" Roadtrips to truckee the other day which gave us the opportunity to enjoy Moody's. I love this place and it is my choice every time we visit Truckee. We were greeted and seated immediately. The decor is very relaxing and just feels good. Service has always been spot on and delightful. The food is out of this world delicious! I love the varied options on the menu and it seems no matter what I order, it is always fantastic! This last time was no exception. We will keep coming back as long as they'll have us.

This review focuses on the craft libations and bar experience as we ate lunch at another spot. We were so fortunate to stop in as the service from the bar was amazing! Super friendly and attentive. The menu features some unique drinks which were fantastic and I highly recommend! My party of 4 also enjoyed some classic cocktails which were also made perfectly. This place has a great vibe and I highly recommend if you're finding yourself a little parched and need a break.

We visited on Saturday afternoon while scoring a table outside Our waitress Karleen was kind , attentive , professional, and personal. We stopped by for a quick bite and drinks. I love ciders, and they offer dry, crispy SF made cider with no sugar added. I liked it a lot. For our quick bites, we chose Truffle French fries and their famous tomato soup. Both items were perfectly executed as tasty bites. We enjoyed our visit. It was quick and easy while we enjoyed European style of sitting outside and doing " people watching."

What a fantasic restaurant, we come here everytime we're in tahoe now. The food has always come out great, even the things i dont typically order ill order at Moodys because i know they've found a way to make it great. Having the live band there creates a great atmosphere and its surprisingly not too loud. I know its hard here because its so good but the butter and bread are just the beginning. Definitely get the octopus and the steak

Delicious food, great service, good vibes. The hamachi appetizer and heirloom tomatoes and burrata special were excellent, as were the entrees we tried. The halibut was cooked perfectly and the pasta dish with pork meatballs was delicious. Service was excellent as well. We will definitely be back.

Hands down the best place to eat in Truckee! The service is always stellar, the drinks are always tasty, and the food is fresh and should be Michelin rated. We come to town often, and most times end up coming at least twice. We are never disappointed and always excited to come back!

The food and service were good. Have been here a few times. However, reluctant to return because of their table set up. I don't understand why they put so many small tables so close. One two person table was set right by in front of two booths. Our table was set right behind a high table. It makes it difficult to get in and out. Don't understand the logic.

July lunchtime, peak tourist summer season. Packed with day trippers. Despite the crowd, commotion and loud noise the service is thoughtful, friendly and efficient. Lunch menu has about six main items and 6 appetizer / side plates. Something for everybody. Bambie had the beet salad. She liked it. Portion size for a hungry man would be inadequate to fill him up. I had the grilled fish sandwich. Big slab o' white snapper on a ciabatta square bun with a heap of cabbage & big tomato slice. It was very tasty. It was big enough to fill me up and I'm a constant bottomless pit of hunger. Lavender lemonade was enjoyable and thirst quenching. Only 4 stars stars because of the street side patio ambiance. It's unbearably noisy with the car & truck traffic at this busiest road intersection in Truckee. Add to that the blaring overhead music system. Add to that that the 24 seat patio is dog friendly and everyone had a dog (I brought my 2 Labradors). There was quite a bit of barking around us throughout the meal (My girls were mostly well behaved and quiet). I'd return for an evening meal inside the dining room, dog free.

This place was wonderful on every level. The food is absolutely fantastic, everything is fresh, creative, and wonderfully delicious. They have a very unique menu with clever creations. Their pasta is made with only 3 ingredients - flour, water, and I forgot the third ingredient, But you can see they put so much care into the food that they serve. Hubby had the bone marrow appetizer and the oxtail pasta which he was really impressed with. I had the soup of the day which was a hearty vegetable soup with duck confit. I also had the Branzino fish served on top of the most amazing and colorful vegetable medley I have ever seen. Everything was so beautifully plated and you can tell the recipes took a lot of thought. The service was fantastic. We had a very friendly server who was very knowledgeable of the food. It is a great place and I'm sure we will be back whenever we are in Truckee
