Beautiful setting with mountain view. Very attentive and friendly service. Wonderful brunch with interesting courses artfully presented. A great visit.6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMwhatwethoughtFrom the moment you step through the door, until you leave and are presented with a "travel gift," the entire experience is what one would demand from a five-star establishment with prices to match. Worth the price, and most satisfying.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMProperly PamperedErna's is the gem of the Sierras. Everything is exquisite from the decor to the outstanding service to the wonderful food! Our table next to the window, overlooking the garden was so perfect. We were treated to a beautiful appetizer and meal ending confections, both gratis. Such a beautiful place for a special occasion!5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMOnce in Blue MoonA special occasion dining experience beautifully done in every way, the food was out of this world, as good as The French Laundry in Yountville Ca. we are from Napa, the staff & service was great, Loved It, I would Love to stay there sometime too!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMExclusive and ImpressiveWe enjoyed the 5 Course Chet's Tasting Menu of 3 hour duration which included the delightful optional cheeses selection following the Salad. One could also include a special compliment of wine paired with each course for a truly extravagant evening. The serving style was well choreographed and lacked nothing. The owner swooped by our table for a brief hello / thank you visit toward the conclusion. It was expensive but very exclusive and impressive.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMBest in Yosemite areaClearly the best in the area. If you are staying in Yosemite Valley, reserve here in advance and see the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias on the way. Lovely room with great ambience.

A "five star" restaurant near Yosemite.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMSumptuous!The food was sumptuous, the service top shelf and the company caused butterfiles inside me. Only minor complaint was the wine we selected was not available. First 3 hour dinner we have had in a long time.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMtherapyWe found this stunning restaurant via Trip Advisor. We spent the weekend hiking Yosemite in May when the falls were overflowing. Since Yosemite is both a physical and meditative experience, I was looking for ambiance and gourmet food which were in abundance at Erna's. The service was impeccable. The subtle way every course was served and every need was met was so appreciated. Always there but never interfering with an evening of conversation. Portions were just right for being able to taste all the fine courses. The decor was so unique and tastefully done, I wish I could have stayed at the Chateau.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMnever disappointed here!!Amazing ambience and service. Food also exceptional. save your money and go for a special treat.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AM
