Sorensen's Cafe Markleeville, CA 96120

"We have been here for appetizers and lunch now, both experiences were great! In the tent, afternoon is appetizers and live music on weekends. Today was raining, so we opted for inside. The Cauliflower Soup was sensational! The Tuna Melt is a large Ahi steak with cheese and homemade potato salad. Beautiful surroundings and excellent service, you can't go wrong! Back again but this time for dinner. The service was exceptional!! Andrea is professional, charming and friendly, the epitome of service! The outside dining was wonderful! A great view, excellent food, and the ambiance! The manager has a small bouquet of flowers and lemon grass scented candles on the outdoor wood tables. This may seem like trivial items but they make all the difference. Truly another wonderful dining experience!! Another visit for appetizers and Bre took care of us this time and she made our cocktails. The 'Tanglewood ' drink she made is probably the best cocktail I have ever had, plus her outstanding service!! The view, the service, and the food were outstanding as usual!!"

"We stopped on Sunday on a whim. We wish we'd checked the menu before committing to ordering as the menu prices are high, we feel. The menu was limited for lunch items. We ordered a burger and specifically asked for the Beyond Burger as noted on the menu. The salad was large but honestly didn't taste at all like it had dressing. I asked the waitress after 2 bites of the burger why it tastes like a black bean burger? "Oh, so sorry, the vegetarian option is only black bean. We don't have the Beyond Burger and haven't updated the menu". She asked if I wanted to speak to a manager and I replied to her that if she'd told me there were no Beyond Burgers I would have ordered a regular beef burger. Overall our experience was such that we probably won't return there."

"The atmosphere- 10/10 The food- 10/10 The service- 30/10 Such a great place to have our anniversary dinner. Heard it was a new chef, didn’t experience the last chef. But the current chef knows what they are doing. Great portions. Good wine list. Intimate restaurant, definitely make a reservation!"

"On a beautiful summer night my friends took me to Sorensen's for dinner. We just missed the live music but caught sunset and enjoyed a wonderful evening on the patio. The food was so good and we tried some of the recommended specials for appetizers and sipped on some of their speciality cocktails and my favorite tequila with soda water and an orange slice. I ordered the steak and my friend ordered the chicken. Both were prepared wonderfully and full of flavor. After dinner we had their berry cobbler which was very good. It was served hot with vanilla ice cream. It is worth the short drive from South Lake Tahoe to enjoy a wonderful meal here."

"This is such a special place. It's an amazing place to get out of town and have a lovely lunch or dinner. The staff are very nice and the food is very good. Because there is a small kitchen the food may take awhile but it gives you time to walk the grounds or sit and enjoy the smell of the fire and the great music. Highly highly recommend coming here. It's one of a kind and worth the drive from where ever you're coming from."
