We were amazed by the food and ambiance of this restaurant in this tiny little town! The owners are super friendly too. We just drove across the Great Basin and were starved for veggies and this place delivered! The pesto pasta was chock full of seasonal CA bounty and was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

We didn’t have reservations but thankfully they had space for two walk-in’s.

Side note – I absentmindedly left my credit card there, and the kind owners went through the trouble of mailing it to me! Above and beyond!

Hands down the best restaurant we’ve eaten on a 3-wk roadtrip — and that includes meals in Mammoth Lakes, Napa, Mendocino, the Oregon Coast, Portland, and Bend. Every dish was thoughtful, balanced, and beautifully executed. You can taste the freshness and care in the ingredients and the creativity in the flavors. Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. It’s rare to find a place that feels both special and comfortable — this one nails it. Worth going out of your way for. **Reservations recommended **

Appetizers:
Caesar Salad – anchovies tasted like ones I bought from Spain
Salmon Cakes salad – perfectly cooked: moist and fresh!
Meals:
Rack of Lamb – medium rare as lamb should be cooked; the turnips were delicious!
Salmon – perfectly crispy skin with finishing salt just exquisite!
Desserts:
Crème Brulee – the orange infusion gave an interesting take
Chocolate Flourless Cake – so light!

Phenomenal food! And some of the best service we’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. The owners are extremely friendly and personable, as was our waitress. My wife had the French dip — easily the best French dip either of us have had. I had the sea bass, which was also excellent with a perfect combination of flavors. We also had a salad, and the flourless cake, both of which were superb. They say on their website that they often book a week in advance, but we were able to get a table for two by calling the day before. We were celebrating our anniversary and agreed it was the best anniversary dinner ever!

Have been wanting to come here a while for dinner, finally made it, and everything was so amazing! The peach and burrata salad was divine, with a perfectly grilled peach and addictive toast. The halibut was perfectly cooked, with a delightful rice and corn side, kinda Caribbean flavors. It was really hard to choose between this and the seafood stew. My husband had the chilled beet soup and he loved it.

If you come at dusk in the summer be prepared for a few mosquitoes, but they have some lamps to help with that.

The team who works there is so nice, the service was fantastic, and we can’t wait to come back.

Ever since this wonderful place opened, I have thoroughly enjoyed every meal. Jeanne cooks in a flavorful way that beckons you to savor every bite, and long for more. The service is professional, attentive and friendly, and one never feels rushed to leave. A favorite of mine is the steelhead trout, but really everything is delicious from the starters to the phenomenal desserts.

We managed to get a last minute cancellation on a Sunday evening and we were so glad that we did. For such an unpretentious little restaurant in “The Loneliest Town” in America, the food is amazing! We were on a road trip and were stopping in Loyalton and the owner of our Airbnb recommended this place; and we’re so glad she did. Try it you won’t be disappointed.

We were staying in Truckee and decided to make the drive to the Drifter’s Table and it was SO worth it! One of the best meals I have had and the setting is right out of a movie set. The new owners have created a little slice of heaven in this small town and our family could not have been happier. We will definitely be back!!

Really lovely place with very friendly owners. Had a jalapeño burger that was cooked properly, not too spicey. Wine list was small, but really good prices on all of them. Outdoor seating area had a retro feel and provided a great view of the surrounding hills.

I’ve run out of superlatives to describe this jewel of the Lost Sierra. Drifter’s Table is a cozy, family-run place where they clearly care about the quality of their food and the comfort of their guests. Their menus change with what’s in season, so no visit will be quite the same as the last – but our every visit has been reliably delicious. From creative, savoury, gorgeously-plated starters and a judiciously-chosen wine list, through a hearty selection of entrees blending traditional (juicy ribeyes) with the avant-garde (oxtail posole?!), to a dessert menu that must be seen to be believed, this is a must-visit. It’s a picturesque 45-minute drive from Reno, a *differently* picturesque 45 minutes from Truckee, and, well, a bit further from the Bay Area…but still, I think, well worth the drive. You will not be disappointed!
