We stopped in late after a five hour drive to Truckee on the way to Quincy. We got a table right away for two people. The service was excellent and we loved our meal. The staff was accommodating for vegetarian or non-meat options despite a heavy meat and savory menu, and they use local and sustainable ingredients whenever possible. The... more

On a return waystop in Truckee, my husband and I decided to revisit this bistro, and we were not disappointed. Excellent service of beautifully prepared, fresh local cuisine. Live music in the bar, a lovely patio for dining , and the artfully decorated main restaurant all add up to a pleasurable evening in Truckee. more

With professionalism and pride the staff of Moody's helped us with our food selection and the manager was extremely knowledgeable about the extensive wine list. Prices moderate to high, but nice terrace and a dining room that drips with character. Or marvel at the bar as you eat there too. Worth a look, especially during happy hour. Do you like... more

We were seated at the table directly in the pathway to the outdoor area. We definitely felt we were in the lane of traffic. With the exception of a very attentive busboy, service was neglectful. We barely saw our server except to bring out food. The table next to us, however, had staff falling all over themselves to wait on... more

Wow, I'm surprised to find Moody's way down the list at #16. My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience here last Friday. Great wine list...lots of half bottles to choose from. Food and service was great. Highly recommended. Just a heads up on Friday and Saturday nights there is live jazz. I love jazz but if you want... more

My brother and wife were visiting from the east coast. This was our one night out and we chose Moody's because it has a reputation as one of the best restaurants in Truckee. Good food and nice presentation until a busboy dumps a glass of red wine all over myself and my wife. Then the glass is replaced with a... more

Just stopped into Moody's Bistro & Lounge for a spontaneous lunch... The food was very fresh and tasty. One of the best Cobb salads we ever had with flavorful grilled chicken, nicely smoked ham, perky lettuce, amazingly ripe avocado in addition to other wonderful Cobb fresh ingredients too. The real "piece de resistance" was the perfectly cooked french fries, crisp... more

My family and I travel to Tahoe several times a year. We've never been lucky enough to get reservations at Moody's because they are always booked! This trip we booked way in advance and got a table. We sat in the bar for a bit enjoying a cocktail and 1/2 priced appetizers (Monday only and only at the bar). The... more

My husband and I have dined at Moody's Bistro in the past and have always enjoyed the food until this past weekend. Our meal was so bad that we vowed to never eat there again. We ordered two appetizers - one was a pasta dish with veal breast and the other was a crispy gnocchi. The veal was so fatty... more
