Wigwam Room

What a terrible restaurant! First, ordered the fresh green mixed salad.
Arrived freezer burnt and with a feeding cold plate… which explains the freezer burn, the salad was in the fridge prepped and covered in Saran Wrap. Sent back. No further questions asked. Here’s hoping the main course is good!
Alas… NOPE. Microwaved and burnt dried out meatloaf. With a piping hot plate… Leading you to realize yet again. This $ 19 meal was prepped and MICROWAVED. ALSO… Extremely mushy.
Chicken penne pasta… Cold and bland. $ 23?
Finally sent both meals back pretty much untouched. Again, no mention from the server or management.
I would highly recommend pizza factory in town over wasting $ 70 on a meal for two here. Extremely annoyed that management or the server took no notice or concern about the terrible food.
Again. Run. Don’t come here.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Nakoma Lodge this week end and had dinner at the Wigwam Room located in the clubhouse. We will definitely be back. I had the King Salmon for dinner, and it was outstanding and the service was great.
The lodge is relatively new and very nice, I am sure this will be a popular destination for a quick getaway soon.

The Wigwam Room did not disappoint! This beautiful establishment set in the pine forests outside Portola, California offers a setting that can’t be rivaled in neighboring towns. The Frank Lloyd Wright designed building added a sense of historic flare as we were seated by the 360 degree fireplace.
Winter dining hours are Thursday through Sunday, with breakfast only on Sunday’s, so that would be the only thing you have to plan for while visiting the Wigwam during their winter hours. We actually stayed at the Nakoma Lodge, so we wouldn’t have to rush back to Reno.
The menu was diverse with great seafood and tasty appetizer selections, to true finned, 2 legged to four legged selections as well. The menu is posted on their website. Visiting many small towns and villages in my travels, you always have to remember ease of availability and quality of food. They were able to offer a variety for any palate.
My sweetheart had the special that night which was the King Salmon seared in teriyaki served in a traditional Japanese iron bowl. I had the Coq au Vin which had the deep richness and warmth of true French comfort food. The waitstaff was very attentive and friendly and checked on us regularly.

Don’t know what in the heck is going on at this place! but don’t waste your money. Food is way too much$$$$ for what you get. Kate the greeter at the door ask if we had reservation? The place was empty! Are you kidding me! I told her no. And she gave me the dirtiest look that I’ve every seen .Kate you need to get into another line of service! !!! How dare you the customer is always right. You say that your business is 5 stars but you get 0 stars for me. Maybe you should go back to school and learn about customer service. PS. loose the nose ring!

My husband and I had dinner here last weekend for our one year anniversary :) First, the staff was great (although it was clear they were training new staff which can always make a dining experience feel slightly cumbersome), our waitress Tiffany was personable and knowledgeable. She let us taste a number of wines before we decided what to order and was sweet enough to talk us through many of the entrees when we had questions.
Now, there was a bit of a problem with how both of our entrees were cooked, nothing wrong with the dishes themselves, the flavors were amazing, just the meat was not right on either plate. But the problems were handled so quickly and so professionally that we didn’t feel like it affected the mood or outcome of the night at all! We were checked on frequently, our water glasses were never empty, and we enjoyed our meal tremendously.
The floor manager, Lang, was fabulous. He took care of us in an engaging and competent manner.
We will come back whenever we are in the area and would most definitely recommend the restaurant to everyone!

Fabulous views and setting. Very friendly servers. However, service was awful. The waitress would disappear for long stretches of time. I think she was also working in the bar when she wasn’t in the dining room. Bus boy had to be asked for menus twice, never refilled water or ice tea. Manger walked around and greeted a few tables. He should have been helping his staff as they apparently were short handed. Food was just average, nothing special. I had a dirty glass with lipstick on it that had to be returned, also dirty cutlery. I probably won’t be going back.

We had a table of 6 last night, most of us had the filet. They were cooked perfectly, good steak. Nice portions, french onion soup was very good. Service was very good. Had a great bloody mary. It s a little pricey, beautiful club house. I played golf there in the morning. Worth every penny.

We went for New Year’s Eve and the meal was the best we ever had. The beet salad and the stuffed quail was to die for. We have dined here four times and the food is always fantastic. This was the first time the service matched the 5 stars that the kitchen deserves.

We had drinks after a lovely day of golf on this fabulous course. If the customer ask you (the bartender) if you make good margaritas and you use a bottled mix, don’t say yes. Good margaritas are made are made with fresh squeezed lime juice. I drank half of the sweetest and most awful margarita I’ve ever had. Lovely golf course though. Next time I’ll have a beer.

Had breakfast there, ok service a little slow and food was just ok nothin special
