Bite Press. Media. What "They" Say about Bite!

Bite Restaurant News. We bring it to you here.

Check in to see what the press is saying about us and what we're saying to the press.

It all started on December 28, 2007 when our local paper, The North Tahoe Bonanza featured a new restaurant in town with “a different outlook.”  We have grown quite a “bite” since then and publications from coast to coast have taken notice.  Including mentions in the San Francisco Chronicle, Sactown Magazine and New York Magazine, or lifestyle publications like Outside Magazine and Ski Magazine, people are talking about Bite.

San Francisco Chronicle: Lake Tahoe's eclectic fare worth sampling, by Carey Sweet. The Chronicle came to Lake Tahoe to find its favorites and Bite Restaurant was among them! They call us artistic and eclectic. Come see for yourself - we hope to be one of your favorites as well.

New York Magazine had this to say about bite, Taste Napa and Sonoma wines (from $2 each) at the candlelit wraparound bar at Bite, a small-plates bar with an American and French bistro-inspired menu.

Sactown Magazine offered up these “bites” of praise –

“Tapas are transformed into high art at Bite, where owners Brooke and Thomas McCarthy emphasize big-flavored small plates.  Amid a soft-lit, minimalist décor accented by Manzanita branches, Bite, esconced in upscale Incline Village and open only for dinner, serves high-end sliders that you might find at White Castle in Monaco.  Try the BLT (bacon, lobster, roasted tomato), miso-glazed pacific snapper or beef shortrib spritzed with a sweet pepper sauce.  Then graduate to Chef Consultant Mike Trombetta’s small plates like coconut fried chicken topped with subtly sweet coleslaw, pan seared scallops and lamb chop bites served with lamb jus and mint sauce.  For dessert, satisfy your sugar craving with sweet (but not too sweet) warm apple turnover bites or coconut crème bites suffused with Meyer Lemon puree.”

Of course, food and drink are our first priority at Bite, but don’t forget we are Incline Village Highlanders, “mountain people” at our core.  We are fortunate to have been recognized in national publications like Outside Magazine, who had this to say in their article, Winter Shrinkage, Small Plate Restaurants Hit the Mountains–

“Bite’s BLT comes as a slider (the “L” is for lobster), and the Cajun prawns are sautéed in sesame-orange butter.  But don’t get the wrong idea; Bite also serves a bitchin’ mac ‘n’ cheese.  Happy hour is five to six, but “happier hour” is 10 to 11, when there’s live music.  Since this is Nevada, they’re open as long as there are customers to be served.”

It wouldn’t be Lake Tahoe without Skiing…SKI Magazine also included Bite in it’s discussion of small plates in ski resorts, Trying Times, Sample the menu with tapas at these high-country hotspots -

“Pile your plate high at Chef (Consultant) Bryn Herrlein’s bite-size ahi tuna sliders on fat little buns minutes from the slopes of Diamond Peak or Alpine Meadows.  Bite specializes in small plates.  Among the best are their tequila-garlic prawns, cheese-steak sliders, five-spice baby backs, and all their mini desserts.  The Double the Devil’s Foodcake or coconut crème bites make for a fine finish.”
