Had dinner here on a Saturday night recently. Made reservations as they were recommended. This restaurant is expensive but the food, service and view of downtown Truckee were excellent! Highly recommend it

Although this place looks like it is about to fall down, the food was excellent and the staff was very accommodating and friendly.

The food is noteworthy but doesn't match the beautiful view after sundown. Be sure to reserve a table ahead of time so you can be seated by the window or in good weather on the patio.

A halibut special was listed for $40! A little pricey for this venue. The hamburger for $17 was pedestrian at best. The outside seating was nice.

Cottonwood was recommended as being very popular and it seemed so as we entered through a political fund-raising party! The host/hostess was very pleasant and found us a table for two on the deck over-looking Truckee. The old photos of Truckee on their walls and other old ski items ie. boots, poles and skiis were fun and interesting to look... More
