Sardine Lake Resort, established in 1941, sits at the base of the Sierra Buttes on Sardine Lake — about 45 minutes from Graeagle via Gold Lake Road. It is one of the most distinctive dining experiences in Northern California: a rustic chinked-log lodge on the water with family heirloom furnishings dating back decades. The restaurant serves dinner only, with two seatings nightly at 6pm and 8pm, June through October. The menu covers prime rib, steaks, chicken, and fresh seafood. The earlier seating books four weeks in advance — reserve immediately when planning a Graeagle golf trip. Cash or check only; no credit cards accepted. Poor George's Lakeside Bar opens at 5pm for cocktails on the dock before dinner. The drive up Gold Lake Road is part of the experience — a winding mountain route through pine forest above the treeline. Groups staying in Graeagle typically make this a special-night dinner during a multi-day golf trip.
