Big Water Grille, On Slopes of Diamond Peak
Posted on June 19, 2008
The spacious Big Water Grille perches precariously on the slopes of Diamond Peak, providing continually diverting views of the lake and the surrounding Sierra, tough competition for the cake in grabbing the attention of guests.
Executive chef Jay Veregge oversees an Asian-influenced take on New American cuisine. The wedding menu, for example, included pan-seared ahi with a ginger ponzu sauce, and braised tofu with a Thai curry.
I wasn’t all that crazy about the New York steak with grilled asparagus and buttermilk mashed potatoes I’d ordered - the beef was a bit tough - but I sure liked the wine they poured, the complex, supple and lush Columbia Crest Winery 2003 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which customarily sells for $13 and still is a bargain on the Big Water Grille wine list at $30.
Big Water Grille, incidentally, is a regular competitor at the annual Lake Tahoe Autumn Food and Wine Festival, which for the first time last year, was at the new Village at Northstar.
Up to now, the event had been in Squaw Valley. The program also is being changed to include a cooking camp for children, a farmers market, and an art show in addition to the usual demonstrations, tastings and culinary competitions.
