Description:

  • In a small marina at the foot of Tahoe Keys Boulevard, Fresh Ketch has long been regarded as South Lake's premier seafood restaurant. Try for a window table so you can watch the marina activities. For starters, I always order half a dozen oysters and the seared ahi tuna with garlic, soy, wasabi, and sesame seaweed salad. Then it's on to the fresh catch of the day such as big Alaskan king crab, steamed in the shell and served with drawn butter. The menu also includes a modest selection of meat and poultry dishes, such as the great surf and turf of petite mignon and lobster. Prices are a bit steep, but you can also belly up with the locals and order from the extensive bar menu, with everything from blackened mahimahi to fresh-fish tacos and fish and chips for under $13. They've recently added a sushi bar as well. Live music acts perform Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.

    Nice view

  • We have been here several times. The seafood is good, the service excellent and the view of the marina is noteworthy. Happy hour is a great value.

    Presentation was better than taste

  • Clean place on the lake. Good service. Friendly waitress. Food is overpriced. Two of us got the fish of the day and it looked very nice but the flavor didn't live up to the presentation. ...

    Skip the Ahi Tuna Salad

  • The restaurant is located at the end of Venice Dr and has a view of the marina, but not really the lake. Overall the ambience is fine -- casual, with the bar colocated with the tables...
