A word from The Ahwahnee Hotel Dining Room - Ahwahnee Hotel

Over the years, The Ahwahnee Dining Room has played host to presidents, royalty and celebrities, in addition to countless visitors, and it continues to be regarded as one of the most impressive dining rooms in the United States.

…

The Ahwahnee Dining Room conveys a feeling of elegance and refinement while maintaining a comfortable, natural atmosphere. The logs of stripped and polished sugar pine, which support the 34-foot-high beamed ceilings, reinforce the rustic ambiance that is reflective of The Ahwahnee’s mountain surroundings. Wrought iron candelabras suspended from the sugar pine timbers, together with iron candelabras on the tables, create a medieval atmosphere.

Under the culinary leadership of Executive Chef Percy Whatley, The Ahwahnee Dining Room offers traditional California cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. An array of excellent California and international wines are also featured on the menu.Continued

"Food was very good and competent, but not outstanding. Service was OK except for the amount of time we waited for our food to come out. It is also very expensive for what you get. Lunch for 5 was $150 with tip (no alcohol). But if you want to eat nice in Yosemite, this is your only choice."

"Service was great, ambiance wonderful, and scenic views incredible. Food was very good, but serving size a little small for the prices. Overall, it must have been great, because we went both nights we were in the park."

"Had lunch at the famous Ahwahnee Hotel dining room during a recent trip to Yosemite, a beautiful old hotel nestled in the forest in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Prices at the Ahwahnee Hotel dining room are very high--you are paying for the setting, clearly--but the food was very good, using sustainably and locally sourced ingredients. The attentive and friendly service was also excellent. I had the cheeseburger, a side salad that my server gladly subbed for me, and a cocktail, again custom-made to my request. With a slice of berry pie for dessert, the total bill was $45. Steep for a burger lunch, indeed--but the entire meal I was gazing out the window at a group of deer resting and playing in the snowy meadow...."

"The restaurant has very good food. However, the ambience, including the extremely high ceilings and windows exposes one to the stunning beauty of Yosemite. Therefore, I would suggest eating there for breakfast and lunch, and dinner if you can get in before the sun goes down. Service was also very good."
