   We had a wonderful evening at The Elderberry House. The food was so beautiful, as well as delicious. The staff was very attentive and good at helping us navigate my daughter’s food allergies. The substitutions for her were top notch and allowed her to really enjoy the stellar experience along with us.

   This experience is beyond special. The food ranks with the best I’ve ever had. We did the 6 course with wine pairing - expensive yes - worth it - 1000%. If you want the most exquisite dining experience, Erna’s is the place.

   This is our third time coming to Elderberry, since we enjoy the seasonal menu but this time our course meal ( 2 plates) was too salty..not sure if there was a change in chefs

   We celebrated a birthday up at Elderberry house! It happened to be when they were doing their High Tea. There were so many special touches and the service was top notch. I definitely will be back.

    Incredible experience! Ernas put together an unforgettable meal for me and my wife. They specifically catered to her dietary needs/allergies and still produced dishes that looked identical to mine that tasted delicious. Obviously pricey but definitely worth the splurge if you appreciate true fine dining.

    The dining experience was absolutely amazing. Everything from the food, ambience, service, presentation, and location was 100%. This is a must go to place for anyone in the area. The restaurant made you feel special, and as if you were the only person there, Michelin worthy for sure.

    Classic but inventive French- the sea urchin panna cotta was a nouvelle cuisine darling 35 years ago- but the garnishes make it fresh and luxe! Duck breast excellent- as was steel head trout. The chef knows how to show off fresh peas in all their forms and the roasted strawberry shortcake lovely. One server managed to handle 4 tables, keeping everyone happy and pacing the meals to perfection. We had an early reservation on a quiet Thursday night- making for almost a private dining experience. Lovely place. French Laundry quality without the attitude. Chapeaux!

    The food was delicous. The 4 of us all enjoyed our food. Of the two that had the duck, one was more tender. That's the only quibble in what was an outstanding meal.

    Excellent service, lovely food, that's very visually appealing. They keep notes on your likes/dislikes/allergies, which is very nice. It is pretty pricy though, a good splurge. Wish they change up the menu a bit each day, I can do the same thing every day, otherwise would have eaten with them two nights in a row.

    We eloped in Yosemite and went here for our wedding dinner and it was fantastic! Our meal was delicious and the staff was so friendly and made our experience so special. The food was unique without being over the top. The soup of the day was some of the best I’ve ever tasted! We will definitely visit again when we’re in the area. It was lovely!

    A very pretty room and lovely ambience. Could not fault the food which was excellent. The service was attentive but not rushed. However, all the wait staff seemed to be following a very specific and defined "formula" - the exact same questions were asked of guests at every table and there was little personality and therefore no real feeling of genuineness to the service. There was no a-la-carte menu option, rather a 3 course or 4 course menu only. We were very moderate in our dining (we both opted for the 3 course menu) and drinking (one glass of red wine each as we are not big drinkers) and despite this being a restaurant attached to a Relais & Chateaux hotel, we felt the $278.68 price tag to be exorbitant due to the 22% service charge added on top of the food and beverage to "support our kitchen and serving team". Perhaps the restaurant should pay their employees more commensurate with their worth instead of charging patrons to pay them a fair wage. It is also somewhat demeaning to the staff when a restaurant advertises an extra charge to "support" their workers, suggesting the management does not see fit to do so themselves. Alternatively, the restaurant could quite easily increase the prices to cover service costs to more accurately reflect the quality of the restaurant and the level of service provided (which is the case in most fine dining restaurants) and leave it at that. Tax is added on top of the entire bill in the USA which is never a known percentage until the bill is received so costs keep mounting (unlike other countries where tax is a fixed cost already built into the final price). The space on the bill for a tip (on top of the F&B charge, the 22% service charge and tax) - felt like double dipping when the service charge was added regardless. Note to management: diners do not mind paying high prices for excellent food, good service and a lovely ambience but all these factors should be built into the initial cost, not added on top.

    Very disappointed with where we were sat by the hosts on New Year’s Eve. I made the reservation in October and asked for a romantic table. We got sat in the alternate room and were one of two couples in there. The fireplace area was clearly the romantic seating space, but we were told we couldn’t sit there. I guarantee you that nobody made a reservation as far in advance as I did. Sad. Thank you to the chef and our waiters nonetheless.

    We are from the Bay Area, but knew of the Elderberry House and always wanted to try it. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious, with skillful combinations of flavors; the service gracious, and the ambience -- decorated for the holidays -- was enchanting. We loved it.

    Stunning venue, such an elegant and posh Christmas dinner. Vegetarian alternatives were provided for myself, and they were delicious. I didn't feel like I had missed out on anything. The staff were courteous, knowledgeable and attentive. The tables were nicely spaced, and it wasn't too loud. The cocktails were unreal, highly recommend the purple buddha one! The jazz Christmas music on guitar was a bit weird at times though :)

    Great overall experience. According to the staff it was a slow night for guests. The service was amazing. The staff were warm, friendly, professional and polite (hard to find anymore). The food was very good. We did the wine pairing and enjoyed the selections. We knew in advance the experience would be expensive. so not shocking when the bill came. Wonderful evening with my wife for a holiday dinner.

    The service was excellent from start to finish. Holiday décor was delightfully cheery! Wine selection was nice sized, and the waitress knew her wines. Our main critique is the entrees' portions were ,for us, appetizer sized: 2 scallops in my companion's plate, or in mine 2 slices of ribeye. A 3rd piece would have made it more substantial. Over all a very nice experience on our last night after Yosemite Park.
