Sardine Lake Resort, Sierra City CA

This is a special place to visit. Beautiful mountain views, great hike, and an amazing restaurant and atmosphere.come early for your dinner reservation for cocktails at the boathouse

In just stopped to check it out while here for work. Beautiful place. Cabins look really cool.

Second time we've dined here. In fact, we scheduled our trip to the area around our dinner reservation. As expected the food and atmosphere did not disappoint. The bison was amazing as was the duck.

Magical evening with friends at Sardine Lake Resort. Cocktails at the most scenic bar ever followed by a wonderful meal.

Loved the peaceful lake.
Rented a row boat, needs repairs!
But rowing around the small lake was a fun thing to do.
Oars need repairs!

Really neat place! Beautiful lake! Boat rentals are a must to tour around the lake and/or fish. The beer was ice cold. Loved it

Awesome gem in the Lost Sierra! Wonderful, quiet lake. Boat rentals are a breeze—and a good deal to boot! Wonderful for an afternoon on the lake!

Beautiful views of the Sierra Buttes, great dining experience and cocktail hour before, friendly and helpful staff.

It’s a beautiful place but it’s highly unlikely that you would ever get a cabin to stay and enjoy this place.

For almost 7 years, we would go to opening weekend dinner at Sardine Lake Resort with our friends. The food, service and atmosphere can't be beat. In 2018, we were engaged there and in 2021, we were married there.

Getting married there wasn't our original plan since our 85 person guest list would be much too big for the space. But when our wedding was destroyed due to COVID and our venue being incredibly unprofessional, we were forced to figure out plan B. The silver lining of downsizing our guest list meant that we could hold our ceremony at Sardine Lake Resort. Thankfully, Lee stepped in and was so kind through the process of not only re-planning our wedding but in providing a friendly ear while we navigated our issues with the other venue.

Our day could not have been more perfect. Our guests still comment on how unreal and beautiful the view was. In the end, I believe that everything worked out for the best. We are forever grateful to have celebrated our union by bringing our loved ones to a place that was already so special to us. We cannot wait to return for years to come as our family grows!

Got drinks before, walked around the campsites. Super pretty views, the food was incredible. Wonderful service and eats.

Been enjoying this resort for decades. We love it for its rustic feel and amazing views. The biggest change is the food. They have finally placed an exceptional chef in the kitchen and every bite of my flat iron steak was a dream. The caramelized onions lit up my mouth with every bite.

Whether staying or just stopping by for dinner (Reservations Req!) It is worth every moment of your time.

We just came for visit. You can reserve a cabin, boat and restaurant reservations. Food is really good. You can also have a picnic by the lake. The lake is crystal clear. There's no swimming. If you just want to relax. This place is in the Northern Sierra Nevada mountains. A little hard to find. It's so beautiful.

Love this cute little resort. You must check out their floating dock bar out front! Opens at 5pm. One of the most incredible views you'll ever take in.

Long time favorite. Food this time was the best ever. Flat iron steak & seafood special (shrimp, scallops & pasta). Everything cooked perfectly. Mud pie a hit. Touche Sardine Family - we so love the lake & cocktail shack hour!

Really good place! The line wasn't too long when we were there. The portions are huge so it was essentially two meals for me lol I got the order with one slider and one tender and it was amazing! I got the extra hot one and I really enjoyed it! If you have a high spice tolerance then definitely get that one, it's not that bad:)

Overall a really good experience. The space was a little compact and a bit dirty but that was probably due to the number of people that frequent the restaurant. I would definitely go again and I've already recommended the place to people
