Yosemite Valley Restaurants

Beautiful food with great flavors and lovely server who showed genuine care. Wish there was a fire or more warm touch - still very pretty.

Our experience at the Ahwahnee Hotel restaurant was excellent. The hotel is undergoing a major renovation, which apparently affects the kitchen service, so they were limited to a buffet style food selection. But the selection featured a great mix of choices from prime rib, to salmon, so chicken to gourmet mac and cheese (one of my faves!) The desserts were great, the service was great - and most importantly, the price per person ($63 not including bar items) made it a much more accessible experience. Normally dinner for two at the Ahwanhee would likely be $200-$300. This makes it a much great value, in my opinion. Well worth the effort. The ambiance is still very good, despite the construction underway. Highly recommended if you are in Yosemite Valley.

Alberto was a fantastic server. His recommendations were outstanding and his manor was professional yet kind. We even got a great dessert recommendation from the assistant server.

I really enjoyed the food, service and ambiance at Rush Creek Tavern.

The June Bug Cafe has great food at a reasonable price in a grown-up camp atmosphere which is fitting, as the whole Yosemite Bug feels like a really cool, funky summer camp in the woods, for all ages. Big portions, well made, fresh meals. We stayed at a different hotel recently and, after a disappointing breakfast at that hotel, drove to the June Bug for a great, satisfying breakfast the next morning.
