A popular SF Italian restaurant left the Bay Area to reopen in a sleepy commerce center in north Lake Tahoe.
“Originally, we were intending to do a second location: a Great Gold San Francisco and a Great Gold Truckee,” Kirksey says. “But then it just kind of made more sense to close up and move up here, just because of the complications of that time period.”
Great Gold’s turnaround was quick, closing the Mission location in August 2020 and opening the Tahoe location in November that year.Another concept is in the works for TahoeSuzie Dundas/SFGate Kirksey says Great Gold’s off-the-tourist-track location in Tahoe hasn’t been a problem. If anything, he says, it’s been an asset, as it has plenty of parking and allows locals in the surrounding neighborhoods to go out to dinner without searching for parking in Truckee’s busy historic downtown area. While he initially had reservations about the location, he thinks that because most people drive everywhere in Truckee, unlike in San Francisco, the location isn’t as important. .
Despite that, downtown Truckee remains the go-to destination for most visitors seeking an evening of dinner and drinks. And thanks to feedback Kirksey describes as “super positive” and “flourishing,” plus a skilled staff, the duo are opening a new restaurant in late summer in a more central space on Donner Pass Road. The new restaurant, to be called Tangerine, will have a “classic French bistro feel” and is near popular downtown restaurants like Burger Me and.
“I hope we’re adding to the pizza scene,” Kirksey says of Great Gold. Only time will tell what impact it can have on the French scene, too.
