Mountain House - WoodsideLovely diningThe Mountain House is a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle and relax with a lovely meal. Driving up there is beautiful and once there the food and ambiance is perfect. This is a special occasion place as well as a place to take our-of-town folks. My husband loves trying the specials.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went on Mother's Day. OnlyWe went on Mother's Day. Only Mountain House can handle a crowd in a timely manner and maintain excellent service. It is the only place I would go on a holiday.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a great timeThe staff at Mountain House are always the best. Unlike so many restaurants that make you feel like you are imposing on them with multiple rules, you feel like the guest at Mountain House. We love to celebrate special family occasions here. As always, the ribs and stuffed peppers were hits along with the hamachi tartare. We will be back again.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGeat place for romantic time out.Love your restaurant and visit often.

Casual atmosphere with wonderful food. Service was excellent.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMHeavenFor me this is what I could only dream of. A little red cabin in the woods with amazing food, friendly servers, a great jukebox in a serene setting. Driving up during the colder months to a little house with a fire going with great food serves to warm the heart as well as the belly. I love it so much I don't want to share it but I shall not be so selfish. We always look forward to coming to the Mountain House. Always. <3

Cozy and friendly atmosphere, with staff that treats you like part of the family. Everyone wants to be there! I never tasted real food until I came here; now, I'm ruined! The price is awesome. The fresh fish specials always rock and and lamb chops were THE BEST I've ever tasted. I wasn't crazy about the gluten-free chocolate sundae, but what do you expect from gluten-free?? I'm coming here for every special occasion!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMDine among the treesMy drink, a tequila gimlet over was perfection. Our server WADE was excellent, attentive, patient, explained the menu and specials to our complete satisfaction and let us have our space but came around just enough to make sure everything was ok. My only complaint was that the bison steak was ordered med rare and rec'd almost well making it tough but the rest of the dinner was perfect.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMVenison, pheasant, yum, yumLove the Mountain House! The 5 stars are for the meat dishes. I don't eat a lot of meat, but when I do... hehe. Mountain House has some ridiculously good venison, pheasant, duck ragout... Really delicious.

It's a wonderful drive through the redwoods to the restaurant. They have inviting bar and usually have a fire in the fireplace.

Lots of interesting choices on the menu and very nice special of the day options. We had a party of six, the price was very reasonable-much less than I had anticipated.

I ordered 1 of the specials, salmon with gnocchi, and it tasted phenomenal. My friend, who is a choosy eater, was impressed with the food & ambiance. We both felt like we were sitting in a tree house among the redwoods, a very cool feeling coming from the bustling, paved city of San Francisco. I highly recommend trying their lemondrops, also amazing & chilled just right with fresh lemon. This place gets the highest rating in my book! There were 2 birthdays being celebrated that evening & we sang along, but then it died down & became very intimate. The best atmosphere for any event!3/14/2013 12:00:00 AM
