   We had a wonderful experience at The Mountain House for our anniversary dinner. From start to finish, everything felt special and thoughtful. The service was excellent, warm, attentive, and genuinely celebratory. They acknowledged our anniversary with beautiful touches: complimentary appetizer bites to start, and a lovely dessert plate with “Happy Anniversary” written in chocolate, paired perfectly with our third course. To top it all off, the chef personally came out to wish us a happy anniversary, which made the evening feel even more intimate and special. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere cozy and charming, tucked into the redwoods, it felt like a romantic escape. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. Highly recommend for a special occasion or date night!

   Overall, The Mountain House is a wonderful dining experience. We were seated in the Forest Room, and the view was absolutely mesmerizing, especially as the sun began to set. It added a magical touch to the evening. The food did not disappoint. We had the short rib and the chicken breast, and both were cooked to perfection, flavorful, tender, and beautifully presented. Parking can be a little tricky, but the staff were proactive and attentive. One of them reached out to help right away, which made the arrival smooth. Highly recommend this spot for a special night out, especially if you enjoy a cozy setting surrounded by nature.

   Pretty great experience last night. Good atmosphere great food. The only downside is basically the reservation is only inside since outdoor is too popular and requires 2 months booking in advance

   Hi Jian, Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the atmosphere and had a great meal with us. We completely understand how popular the Forest Room has become — it’s a special spot! While we do our best to accommodate seating preferences, requests are based on when reservations are made to keep things as fair as possible. Our hosts work hard to make it happen whenever they can. We truly appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you back again soon! Warmly, The Mountain House Team

   My experience at Mountain House was nothing short of immaculate. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and respected—not just as a guest, but as a person of color. It’s refreshing to be in a space where inclusion isn’t just a buzzword, but a lived value. The atmosphere was serene, the staff attentive and kind, and the food—absolutely delicious. Every meal was crafted with care, offering both comfort and quality. I left not only satisfied, but uplifted. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a warm, respectful, and memorable experience. My wife loved it! Happy wife, Happy Life

   I found the ambience and service to be stellar, but personally felt the food on the Winter 2025 menu lacked consistency.

    Absolutely wonderful. We came for the incredible redwood forest setting and were blown away by the food experience. Spectacular well balanced dishes and unassuming wine options with bold unique profiles. We did not try the cocktails but the cocktail menu was tempting. We may come back just for the mountain cabin cocktail bar but truly we’ll go back for the food.
