Such nice people at this place. Definitely representing Aloha life in the proper manner. Food was fantastic! Coffee was wonderful and unique. It will be a location that I go every time I am in South Lake. It is nice to have great Hawian food with a slightly healthy twist. Those ribs are sooooo good. I would absolutely suggest trying them.

I did not know what to expect from the description google maps provided, but the food at Freshies is amazing! The Country Style Pork Spare Ribs had a great bbq sauce with a hint of sesame. Definitely worth getting! We also got the thai red curry, which was wonderfully balanced.

A pleasant surprise!! We arrived 845pm close to 9pm closing time. They never made us feel unwelcome. Our party of 4 immensely enjoyed all of the appetizers and meals. Nice sunset view. We dined rooftop. Would love if they opened up one in Roseville/Sacramento area day down by the river. Menu has wide selection. Priced reasonable.

Beautiful views, great cocktails and beer, and the tacos are incredibly delicious. We tried the Jamaican jerk chicken and the blackened shrimp tacos and could not believe how good they were. The house made sesame vinaigrette is the best dressing I have tasted. It also happens to be gluten free so win-win for me!

The food and view were great. The wait staff were good but the hostess was terrible she was extremely rude she didn’t even acknowledge us when we got there. We were standing there for a very long time and she was just wrapping silverware and didn’t even say anything to us. I was very confused about what was going on. I asked if there was a hostess and she informed me she was the hostess but still didn’t say anything. It was super bizarre. We were a party of two and she took up a different party of two that arrived after us. She was young but really stinks at her job. I almost left because I didn’t know what was going on.

Great restaurant. Very tasty food. Many gluten free options, and many vegetarian/vegan options. Beautiful view of the lake from the roof seating. The spicy dishes are really spicy.

I liked it a lot. Wonderful view from the rooftop deck. Good fresh food (seafood too) with lots of options for GF and V diners. My sister recommended it after her vacation a decade ago and I am happy to report that it’s still going strong.

First of all, I feel really bad for the staff, they were super busy and didn’t have the structure in place to handle the huge rush of customers that came on the evening we went there. Likely a management issue. We arrived at 6:05, were told a 20 minute wait for a table with shade, seated at 6:37 (at a table with no shade). We were sitting on the rooftop and the sun was blasting us (me, my husband and my 16 month old baby), they had umbrellas but they weren’t placed in such a way that prevented the sun exposure. We asked if the umbrellas could be angled and a staff member said they couldn’t even though we could clearly see the joint at the top where the umbrella would bend. So I placed my baby on my lap to shield him from the sun exposure and figured we’d be able to eat quickly and leave. Nope. An hour after we ordered our food finally arrived, and when it arrived it wasn’t hot- as if it had been sitting on the counter for awhile. And my dish was awful- I got the Island Plate with prawns. Imagine: 1/3 cup cooked rice spread over a dinner plate, topped with prawns, then doused with a 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce. I picked out the prawns and ate them in a dissociated frenzy because I was so hungry and exhausted from waiting. I didn’t have the time or energy to try to remedy the situation with the completely overwhelmed waitstaff. The interactions we had with the staff were brief and pleasant (no one was blatantly rude to us), however it was really difficult to wait that long with a 16 month baby and have no one inform us about or apologize for the insanely long wait time.

This food is so amazing. I am not a vegan like my wife—while this vegan food is so filling, tasty, and so well prepared. Outstanding service and food so well presented—this food could be served in a venue anywhere. The fact this amazing place is here in South Lake Tahoe is something you don’t want to miss. The place is super casual, I look forward to exploding on to the best street corners! And the music—perfect.

Vegetarian and Vegan options are great! Service was quick and the servers were friendly and helpful with recommendations from the menu. Location is convenient and I appreciated that they have parking available. Outdoor seating on the roof/patio was nice with the umbrellas that provide plenty of shade. Will come back again 🙂
