Fodor's Expert Review Gar Woods Grill and Pier Restaurant

$$$$ Carnelian Bay to Kings Beach Eclectic

The view's the thing at this lakeside stalwart, where you can watch the sun shimmer on the water through the dining room's plateglass windows or from the outdoor deck. Price wise, Gar Woods is a better bet for lunch, when fish tacos and crab and prime-rib French dip sandwiches are on the menu, than dinner, at which grilled steak and fish are the mainstays.
