SageRider Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Topaz Lodge has two dining establishments: a cafe and a more upscale Steak House. The cafe is 24/7 (and is very good), however, the Steak House is currently only scheduled to be open Sunday evening. Topaz Lodge will open the Steak House for Monday and/or Tuesday evenings if there is enough interest. A complementary dessert is included with each meal. We need to get into the mid 30s interested persons for a given night to get the Steak House opened. Seating capacity is 40, with earliest dining at 5:30 PM. Steak House Menu If interested in dining in the Steak House, please reply to this post and answer the following: 1) Monday evening: number of interested persons. 2) Tuesday evening: number of interested persons. Thank you! Edited June 16, 2010 by SageRider Share this post Link to post
Bullett Posted June 16, 2010 Michael, I have some questions: 1. Are there any other dining establishments within walking distance from the lodge? 2. What kind of stuff is on the cafe menu? 3. Any dining establishments within "short" driving distance or who will deliver? Thanks for your hard work. The Steak House menu looks yummy, but my answer to your question will depend on what other options are available. Share this post Link to post
SageRider Posted June 16, 2010 Bullett, 1. No. 2. Menu has changed. I will see if I can get an updated copy to post. 3. 15+ miles. No delivery services that I am aware of. Share this post Link to post
Paul Mihalka Posted June 16, 2010 Definitely in for Tuesday. What food is available in the cafe? Thanks! Share this post Link to post
hopz Posted June 16, 2010 Michael... Bob and Susie vote "Yes" to the steak house, but cannot say Monday or Tuesday... yet... probably tuesday. Share this post Link to post
alake Posted June 16, 2010 I will attend / join some of you, not sure Monday or Tuesday. At 40 seats I'll bet the issue will be having too many per night? ;-) Share this post Link to post

marcopolo Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Michael, here's a consolidated answer for me and LRider: Monday: nil for the Steak House (the guys will eat in the Cafe); Tuesday: four people (us and our wives) for the Steak House. Thanks for doing this. Edited June 16, 2010 by marcopolo Share this post Link to post

SageRider Posted June 17, 2010 alake, The Steak House will open at 5:30 and can handle multiple seatings. So handling more than 40 is not a problem. Just not all at the same time. Share this post Link to post
mbelectric Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) In for def 1 (poss) 2 either night, Mon or Tues. I was gonna push on up to Gardnerville 1 night and try the Basque restaurant, so either night would work for me. MB> Edited June 17, 2010 by mbelectric Share this post Link to post
RT Russ Posted June 17, 2010 In for either OR both nights. Wife and I dined in the Steakhouse for our anniversary 2 years ago. Onion Soup bloody ROCKED. Steaks were very good. Dessert was fabulous. Price was more than acceptable. Have not dined in the cafe, we were staying at Grover Hot Springs near Markleeville. Would definitely go back to the Steakhouse! Hawk Share this post Link to post

PhillyFlash Posted June 28, 2010 If interested in dining in the Steak House, please reply to this post and answer the following: 1) Monday evening: number of interested persons. 2) Tuesday evening: number of interested persons. So, Mike, have you made a decision, yet? Just trying to decide if I should pig out on junk food on the way in on Monday, or build an appetite for the best steak I've ever had. This is the best steak ever, right? (Tuesay is still my preference, though.) Share this post Link to post
SageRider Posted June 29, 2010 Decision will be made on July 1st. Tuesday is a definite. Will need to check numbers with Topaz Lodge to see if Monday also. In either case, we will be having a rootbeer float "social" Monday afternoon, so that should help your junk food cravings. As far was the best steak you've ever had, let's just say that it should definitely trigger a Pavlovian response... Share this post Link to post
