The Space
The Lone Eagle Grille is strategically placed at the intersection of Country Club Drive and Lakeshore Boulevard, and forms part of the Hyatt Regency’s Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa & Casino. After entering, you descend into the large lounge. Beyond that is the ample dining area. The interior is done is lodge décor with huge stone fireplaces. There are also rooms for receptions and large parties. The real draw, though, is the view of Lake Tahoe which is provided to anyone looking south out the “back” of the restaurant. You can also stroll out on to the sands, sit in a beach chair or around the fire pit, or even out to the pier to enjoy a cocktail.
The Food
 The Lone Eagle has an extensive menu, characterized as “Creative Continental,” of meat and seafood dishes for both appetizers and main course dishes. The dinner menu also features soups and salads. Desserts run to generous portions.
The Drinks
The Great Room lounge has it “signature” martinis and margaritas as well as various specialties listed in its multi-page drinks menu. The Tuesday “Three Dollar Martini Night” is a great opportunity to try one of the 30-plus martinis on the menu, and there are several domestic and foreign beers available in bottles, with Sierra Nevada and Samuel Adams currently on tap. Then there is the far-reaching wine list with a selection for virtually every taste and price range, from by-the-glass to “rare and extraordinary” bottles.
 Gotta Try
An exciting exception to the meat and seafood offerings is the cavatelli — a pasta dish which is a lot more filling than it seems at first sight. Another excellent selection is the pan-seared chicken. A drink tip from this lover of real gin-and-vermouth martinis is that the Lone Eagle makes The Great American Drink perfectly before dinner. For dessert, the mud pie is big enough for two or three to split.
Tidbit
Local guitarist and vocalist Luke Stevenson has been a regular at the Lone Eagle since 1994. He is currently appearing Wednesday through Saturday from 7 to 11 p.m. in the lounge.
Price Range
It is not news that The Lone Eagle Grille is an expensive place to eat. Many Lone Eagle patrons are happy, and satisfied, to order appetizers and drinks. Salads and appetizers range from $9 to $16, while dinner entrees start at $27 and go to $45. Desserts are all about $10. Lunch prices are somewhat easier on the bank balance; most of the burger, pizza, and salad selections are below $20.
