Nepheles was named after the Greek goddess of epicurean delights but this restaurant near Heavenly Valley Ski Resort is purely Californian. Chef Mark Vassau finds the freshest ingredients and prepares specials nightly. Entrées may include wild boar chops stuffed with prunes and cabbage with an orange apricot brandy sauce, or pan seared ahi tuna with a corn pepper relish and a pineapple vinaigrette. The award-winning wine list features California wines. Save room for a treat from the dessert cart. Another “Californian” feature is the hot tubs on the premises. Book one to loosen your muscles before settling into your meal, or have a cocktail and a soak after dinner.
