- JJakeTahoe / Reno Area •1 review5.0Dined on Apr 14, 2025We had an incredible evening at Big Water Grille celebrating my wife’s birthday. The view of Lake Tahoe is absolutely lovely—watching the sun dip behind the mountains added such a magical touch to the night. Our server, Chris, was outstanding—warm, attentive, and his wine suggestions perfectly complemented each course. The macadamia-crusted salmon was bursting with flavor, and the chocolate torte was pure decadence. From the stunning scenery to the unforgettable meal, everything was perfect. Can’t wait to return!More infoBig Water GrillePrice: Expensive• Californian• Incline Village•4.5
