Fire Sign Cafe was started in 1978; located in the lake house mall (below Dave’s Ski Shop). It was named after the astrological fire element… Both Brian and Lynne Barton, the original owners, are a “Fire Sign”. Two years later, the Barton's wanted to move the restaurant to a new location and asked their friends, Bob and Christi Young, if they wanted to become partners. Since the Young’s had loved Fire Sign from the beginning, they eagerly bought in and helped fund the move to its current location (which used to be a house).... even though they knew nothing about running a restaurant! 4 years after they started Fire Sign, the Barton's sold their half of the business to the Young's and moved away. With full ownership, Bob and Christi began transforming Fire Sign into the restaurant we all know and love today. Although, they moved to Montana years ago, they stayed extremely hands on with their beloved restaurant. An unwavering dedication to never cutting corners, a keen business sense, and of course- 40 years of hiring amazing staff that understand what Fire Sign Cafe is all about, has made their little cafe a legendary Tahoe restaurant.
