A go-to on our trips to South Lake Tahoe, this visit did not disappoint. We were seated quickly, and placed drink orders while perusing the menu (although we pretty much knew what we wanted!). The drink order included a new "adult" drink for us, the Hot Apple Jerry (Apple cinnamon infused Sailor Jerry spiced rum and American Born Apple Pie moonshine, topped with spiced apple cider), and a Skinny Margarita (Don Julio Blanco tequila, Cointreau Orange liqueur, fresh squeezed lime juice and organic agave nectar). For food we ordered as appetizers the fried calamari; garlic chips with pesto sauce; small Caesar salad with added shrimp; and a small Pear and Walnut salad (Crisp Bosc pears, sweet candied walnuts and sliced red onions, tossed with mixed greens and topped with Gorgonzola cheese). They had a Gorgonzola dressing for which I opted, and it went great with the cheese in the salad! If you love blue cheese dressings, try the Gorgonzola dressing. For the pizza (yes, there IS more!) we ordered the medium sized BBQ Chicken pizza and for the kids a Nickâs Spaghetti Bolognese. I think that was all for 3 adults and a 4 and 1 year old! The food came quickly, with appetizers and salads at the forefront. The fried calamari was very meaty, not just batter, and not greasy at all. The Caesar salad had a generous portion of shrimps, large and plump and buttery! The pear and walnut salad is my favorite, although I do enjoy their Greek salad as well. The pears were plentiful and sweetly crisp, and the candied nuts added another layer of sweet crunch. The garlic chips are my version of a pizza, and best with the additional pesto sauce for a small charge. The BBQ Chicken pizza was loaded with toppings, and perhaps too filling after all the other dishes, but so good for leftovers that night or even next day. The kids meal was a healthy serving of pasta with shaved Parmesan on top, a nice different touch. As for the margarita and hot apple Jerry? Delightful, but I personally think the hot apple Jerry was better for a cool day - and even more better if you love cinnamon! Base Camp is a great place to relax, either indoors or on their large patio. The decor is cool, very woodsy-homey style, and the service is always spot-on; if they miss something, they quickly remedy. Our server, Corbi, didn't miss anything and met our changing demands with speed and friendliness. In fact, we are beginning to recognize faces visit after visit, a sign of good commitment on both the workers and business' part. So if you're in the South Tahoe area, try to squeeze in a visit to Base Camp - you'll love it.

We went here for dinner a week ago and we are SO glad it's back after being closed. The Tuscan Sausage and Peppers pasta was wonderful. I had it with gluten free pasta although you have to wait longer for the gluten free pasta to cook. I really liked that they include a salad with entrees now, My husband had the mussels and pasta special and loved it, too. My mother-in-law's cheese cake was a work of art, as beautiful as it was delicious. The expanded dining room is also very nice. The menu is similar to what it was before but they've added some new things.

So we called for pizza delivery. They said 45 minutes. An hour and a half later it showed up. We ordered White pizza with garlic, pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives. Should have been well covered. Not really, lots of open crust spaces with nothing on it. Cost was over $30 and it was not worth it. They offered us a discount on another pizza. Two crummy pizzas? I think not.

Kristopher's location in a small strip mall behind a gas station south of Carson City has always struck me as unfortunate, given the quality of their food. Now they have expanded into a new and more elegant location in the Carson Vally town of Minden. Hopefully they will "live long and prosper."

An adorable restaurant with great food! Grab a cocktail made with the local distillery products first. The apple cranberry salad was incredible and the burgers were amazing! The beef is local too.

If the original Chicago foodies, now of Nevada, take us to have Chicago style pizza we know it will be great! The pizza was definitely delicious and the service was excellent. Everything seemed fresh and the pizza was done with a crisp crust -- cut into squares the way they do it in the Midwest. I'm from the east coast so I love this thin crust and the little squares. Everyone should try this place.
