Lone Eagle Grille Lounge Reopens for Holiday Season Following Half Million Dollar Renovation

Dessert Lone EagleThe Lone Eagle Grille takes my breath away each time I visit. Step inside for a second and you’ll see why it’s so popular with the locals. The Lone Eagle Grille literally sits on the shore of North Lake Tahoe, with a private beach right outside its windows for guests of the Grille and the Hyatt Regency Resort at Lake Tahoe.

The mouth-watering dessert depicted in this blog was taken just a few months ago while enjoying a late afternoon lunch there.

Today the Lone Eagle Grille announced it has reopened after undergoing a $700,000 renovation – just in time for Thanksgiving weekend!

Here is additional information on the renovation straight from the Grille’s press release sent this afternoon:

“Led by CSS Architecture, Lone Eagle Grille’s fresh alpine design updates have added polish to the lounge’s signature mountain lodge style. Changes will enhance the existing classic rustic style: lengthened bar, new low-backed leather lounge chairs, communal tables and plush couches, carpeting, artwork, antler chandeliers, and a warm color scheme. Seating has increased to approximately 58. Also included in the renovations, the resort’s Lakeside Ballroom will be completed in December.”

Grand Opening of Reno’s Newest Deli and Bakery!

CupcakesReno’s newest Deli and Bakery, Krumblz, boasts freshly baked bread, French pastries and a delicious array of breakfast and lunch entrees that are bursting with flavor and presented in a way that is both intuitive and unexpected.

Executive Chef and co-owner Juan Villa, a native Nevadan, has been in the culinary field since 1992, working every station in the kitchen from prep cook to Chef de Cuisine. Villa graduated with honors from Western Culinary Institute-Le Cordon Bleu in 2004.

Since graduation, Villa’s innovation, style and culinary mastery has delighted guests in several restaurants, lending him the well-deserved title of Executive Chef, most recently at Lexie’s on the River at the Siena Hotel Spa & Casino.

“We built Krumblz to bake bread for our neighbors and the Reno community. We use only the freshest ingredients and offer original, innovative flavors through traditional baked goods. Our breads are used to provide one-of-a-kind sandwiches and our pastries are created with ingenuity and simplicity and are beautiful to behold, but even better to eat!” said Chef Juan Villa.

Lead Pastry Chef and business partner Eduardo Quevedo is excited and optimistic at the recent opening of the new restaurant. Over the past 10 years Quevedo has gained the knowledge and techniques necessary for Krumblz to succeed in this competitive market. Quevedo creates tasty pieces of art such as lemon tortes, Petite Fours, specialty filled mousses and danishes, taking time in the presentation. Quevedo personally approves every item displayed within the bakery case. Prior to opening Krumblz, Quevedo was lead Pastry Chef of Lexie’s on the River.

Krumblz’s menu features both breakfast and lunch entrees ranging from $4.95 to $9.00 with pastries ranging from $1.00 to $2.95, and also has an extensive organic tea and Italian coffee menu.
