    Went back to the Cottonwood last night because we enjoyed it so much last week. Table outside overlooking Truckee at dusk, just beautiful. Patio was fairly busy, but Host took our drink and appetizers orders to help out wait staff and kept the ball rolling. Delicious Caesar salad with anchovies, French onion soup, chicken with fettuccine and a classic burger. Don't forget the scrumptious oatmeal cookie and ice cream! Waiter was super as well, just an overall delightful experience.

    Our favorite place to eat in Truckee when in town! Recently, we dined there this past Friday evening and then again for brunch on Saturday. The views and sunsets are gorgeous, and the staff is excellent even when they are understaffed. The new general manager is such a sweet heart! I highly recommend this place to everyone. Do yourself a favor and ALWAYS order the Caesar salad (with a side of anchovies). YUM!
