Where Incline is eating comes out once a month. Each edition has our editors' picks by mood, with each pick's public rating and review count as of Sept 30. A pick has at least 50 reviews and is open now.
Checked . Hours shown are Friday's. Of the 5, 4 are open now and 0 are closed Fridays.
Photos are from each place's Google Maps listing.
How we picked: Our dinner pick needs a sit-down dinner, a rating of 4.5 or better and 100 or more reviews. We look for Italian, steak, seafood, New American or fine dining, or a place we know fits. It needs a clear photo of food or the room.
We rank by public rating. A tie goes to the place with
more reviews. A rating from few reviews tells you less, so we print the count under it when the listing has
one. We keep places that are open and verified in the last 7 days.
Hours and ratings come from public listings. A place that
closes, or that we cannot verify for 7 days, drops out by itself.
