    Fantastic bartender and cocktails. Excellent food. Stellar service. Music a little loud, but I trust they’ll work out the kinks.

    What a treasure this place is! The food, the staff, the atmosphere, the vibe, the drinks were all terrific. Met or exceeded our expectations, and they were high. We made the trek up here on the day after the most recent atmospheric river weather event. The roads were barely clear, and there were still power outages happening, but The Mountain House turned on their generator,and their fierce spirit, to provide a warm respite amidst the battering of recent storms. We’ll be back and will spread the word. The Mountain House is a must, with your local or visiting from other parts.

    Went for a Sunday dinner during the soft opening. The food is stellar. Truly beautiful and accessible and delicious. Every bite. Stand outs include the fried quail appetizer and the onion dip. Start to finish outstanding food. Our server was in her fifth day and was super. Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu - so clearly service training is excellent. Manager was delightful. I do wish they would upgrade the main space and that there were a few soft surfaces- it is LOUD in there. Setting is stunning - nestled in the redwoods. A neighborhood gem and a fun destination if you’re up for a drive.

    Food great. Service was a challenge. Server was clearly not experiencing and didn’t understand the level at which would be expected for a ‘good to excellent’ restaurant. Additionally, they have an auto 20% tip which I normally give, however, in this case was not deserved. That I find a little off, and feel it’s my choice to give a good tip based on great service. Overall disappointing experience. Probably won’t return, or at least until they get over their growing pains.

    We loved Mountain House. The restaurant is in the middle of redwoods, and inside ambience is cozy and romantic. We ordered tuna carpaccio (mouth-melting!), striped bass and short ribs, all of them were great. Highly recommend their 22 shot in cocktails, some of the other drinks weren't to our taste. But overall lovely ambience and great food! Will visit again!

    3 weeks into the reopening. Food was AMAZING! We had the housemade pasta with locally foraged mushrooms and the ribeye. Fantastic. Great staff. Can't wait to go back. So glad this special place reopened!

    So nice to have the Mountain House open again. Great food and staff. It will be even better when they can fully open the whole place.

    The food was spectacular! We had the tuna carpaccio, short rib and apple cider doughnut. It was all amazing. We won't order the doughnut again, however, because $10 for one is far too pricey.

    The food and service were outstanding. Actually every dish we had was great, from the trout rillette to the breaded quail to the hamburger and short ribs!!

    We loved the food - will go back specifically for that reason. We were sat at a table which was literally in the doorway/entryway. Every time someone came in we froze! We had a 5 pm reservation and were first ones to arrive and be seated as they were opening. Asked if we could please be moved away from the door and were abruptly told no by the less than friendly host!

    They're working out the kinks, but this will go in our rotation for sure. The food was beyond expectation and our server was warm, communicative, and proactively addressed kitchen delays. A cozy-yet-high-energy spot in a gorgeous location.

    We are so delighted the mountain House has been reopened for a new chapter. Dinner was wonderful! It was lively on a Wednesday night. The food was delicious. I enjoyed from first bite to the last and I ate my entire entree: trout. My husband's pork was also very good. Service was friendly and very professional.

    Every dish was perfect! Between us we had - the cauliflower soup, tuna carpaccio , venison, trout , the brownie dessert and the coconut banana tartlet. Absolutely divine - all of it. The presentation was also lovely. We will be back soon. Thanks for a wonderful meal.

    We loved our meal at The Mountain House. Excellent service with well-trained servers. Elevated food with a delicious amuse bouche, outstanding fresh greens and shaved beets with a stellar vinaigrette. We enjoyed trout, short ribs, and the special NY steak served with with most incredible onion rings. Not at all oily and a shatteringly crisp coating. Excellent experience. Note: 20% tip included in the bill. In this case it was deserved.

    Mountain House has never disappointed and was pleased to have my tastebuds reawakened! I was skeptical, even though they have a Michelin Star chef running the kitchen. I feel a lot of higher end restaurants that have been popping up, aren’t quite meeting a certain taste that used to be the appeal of living here, but Mountain House definitely brought it and transported me back to a time when the Bay Area was more about the quality of really good food!
