The Trading Post

Garrett was a great bartender. great drinks and great service. We had had a bad experience the night before at a different bar and the trading post experience made our trip much better

Came here for a birthday celebration and left unsatisfied.For a $500 tab you wouldn't expect your meat to be improperly cooked, wine with a corkage fee to be done by ourselves, no dessert menu provided (& then when asked about to only have one option), service to be iffy and then be told to leave after an hour and half...Best part was the bread and butter..Very disappointed and the ambiance was not up to par. Wish we would have known, we would've gone to shaver lake pizza instead, at least you get what you pay for there..Never again, don't waste your time or money...

Been coming here for years! Still the best in town! Great service, excellent food, and prompt!!!!! I want to add, they have the best homemade soup, yummy warm sourdough bread, excellent salads, and the very best filet mignon I have ever eaten.I would only say this because I've had it more than one time. I always look forward to eating here when I come up to Shaver Lake!

I had a beautiful Birthday dinner at the Trading Post recently in a warm weekend evening. We made reservations to sit outside and it was a perfect evening. The atmosphere was beautiful, especially as the sunset and the patio lights came on. They have a water feature that enhances the whole ambiance. The food was terrific. We enjoyed Ribeye steaks, Monterey Chicken and the spinach and cheese raviolis. Standouts for me; the spinach salad with a terrific vinaigrette, fresh baked bread with butter and the Peanut butter Pie! Oh my I would highly recommend.

Incredible service, atmosphere, and food! There is indoor and outdoor dining available. Inside was a little warm today so we opted for the beautiful outdoor patio. You are surrounded by trees and shimmering lights. Awesome evening, we will definitely come back!

This is absolutely the best food in Shaver Lake. The service was great and the ambiance is definitely old school California mountain town. Everything that we ordered on the menu was amazing with the standouts being the escargots, calamari appetizer, spinach salad and ribeye. Make sure and get reservations so you can secure your dinner as this place got busy quick. Cheers.

My family and I were celebrating a family friend's 50th wedding anniversary near Shaver Lake and while we stayed the night, we decided to visit this place in hopes for a snack. Though they don't have a huge appetizer menu, the food was amazing but what made it a 5 starts was the staff and the ambiance of the restaurant. This was an amazing experience from the cook, the bartender, and the servers. Just so happen as we were getting ready to leave, a bear nearly game into the restaurant. It looked into the window for enough time to frighten a few people. I mean, I can't wrestle a bear lol it was a great way to finish the night after meeting some locals and enjoying this place very much. Must try the steak and crispy raviolis.

Mountain town gem. We found this place while having a one day road trip on a Thursday. Warm inviting interior with a nostalgic feel. Came in an hour before food was being served so had a couple cinnamon old fashions while we waited. Bartender was friendly, welcoming and easy to visit with (I'm bad I forgot to write down her name) but thank you for your smiles and conversation. When we sat down to dinner, our server was kind and knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive (again forgot to get a name, man I spaced) She recommended the escargot and she was right, it was scrumptious. Garlicky buttery goodness, served with crusty bread. Dinner came with soup and salad. Chicken noodle was very good, and the spinach feta salad was great with a raspberry vinaigrette. Ribeye we shared, we topped with roasted garlic and had a nice baked potato and vegetables on the side. Decadent lava cake with vanilla ice cream. It was a great dinner, and we look forward to our next trip, when we can spend more time. Thank you for a great escape for my one day off Trading post.

Came here with my husband and the food was absolutely delicious the Monterey chicken was one of the best dishes I've ever had !! 5/5 super recommended! Staff was so sweet as well

Over expensive and overhyped place, wont recommend highly. Food is decent and service is fine too, though they aren't willing to be adjusting to most asks, but the ambiance is nice! Beer collection is good, and cocktails are decent.
