General Info

Some arrive once a week with a friendly knock at the kitchen door, fresh meats and local batch-grown produce in hand. Others step under the lights and let their massive talents engulf the stage. And yet others generously present you their inherent passion for food, wine and entertainment. It’s a combination that makes Moody’s so special. Regardless of their role, each believes in the Moody’s Mantra: “Fresh. Seasonal. Simple. Local.” Both Executive Chef Mark Estee and A&R Man J.J. Morgan lead this eclectic group with a good-natured but hands-on intensity. The two have created an establishment in the heart of Truckee, Calif., that is as much acclaimed bistro as it is relaxed drinkery. Set in the warmhearted early 19th Century ambiance of the Truckee Hotel, Moody’s Bistro & Lounge smartly complements its fine dining with critically praised nationally touring jazz acts. Enjoying Moody’s is simple: Bring a thirst for libations and a hunger for celebrated food created from the freshest, most honest ingredients. Come with the intention of releasing your inner music lover. Then sit back, relax and leave the rest to the handful of amazingly talented people ready to introduce you to the Moody’s experience.
