The Ahwahnee Dining Room is currently serving breakfast and dinner in buffet style service featuring many classic favorites like eggs benedict and a full selection of breakfast favorites. At dinner, enjoy a carving station featuring our famous Prime Rib and more. If you experience difficulty making a reservation through Open Table, please call us directly at (209) 372-1490 so we may assist you. The Ahwahnee is near completion of a seismic retrofit renovation project in partnership with the National Park Service to preserve this iconic hotel. During the last phase of the project (May - August), the impacted areas will be isolated to the West Terrace and surrounding areas near the Dining Room. This work will result in some obstructed views, and we expect construction noise between 10AM–4PM, Monday–Friday. We have done our best to mitigate any negative guest experiences, though we recognize it may cause inconveniences and conditions. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

We seated outside and the view is quite good. The food is nice, actually it is out of expectation. But what’s more out of expectation is the service. The waitress is very nice, friendly, and hospitable. Her hospitality and happiness is spread, making the meal much more enjoyable.

Our experience was great-as always. The vibe in the tavern is fun and boisterous. The decor and ambiance is “upscale lodge” and the service is most always outstanding. They appreciate their local business too and as a result we come fairly often.
