    There are very few choices in Yosemite Valley for sit down dinner. My friend and I ordered the trout entree and the salmon entree. Both were delicious. My friend's crème brûlée was not impressive. Service left a lot to be desired.

    For fine or good dining in Yosemite, your choices are few. In the past there was the Ahwahnee Dining room but it is only open for folks staying there and only has a buffet, and the Mountain Room at the Lodge. The food was fine, the choices small. The warm bread basket was the best! Our server was very good and explained the items that were not available and the added items etc. He was attentive. We ate here again on the 8th because other than the cafeteria, we had no real option. Same food but the waiter did not tell us what items were unavailable, nor the added new items. We had to ask him and then he went to ask someone else. The quality of the waiter makes a big difference to the dining experience. I did order the chicken with red curry and it was very good!

    My Wife and I are foodies and that is why I did not give the food 5 stars. Five stars should be for fine dining or Michelin starred restaurants. Having said that the ribeye I had was cooked perfectly and very good quality. The mashed potato's and Demi glaze were also very good. My Wife had the wagyu burger, it was extremely good as well. The strawberry salad was light on dressing but once I added extra it was great. So for a national park restaurant you could say it is five stars! The staff was very attentive on top of everything. Sarah helped us and was superb. Great time in a stunning setting. We live within 3 hours of Yosemite so I have ate here many times over the years... Dinner here is better than the Ahwahnee in my opinion... but the Ahwahnee is a must for breakfast and Brunch, a truly stunning room and setting!

    We ate at the Mountian Room twice during the week's stay in Yosemite. The food was excellent. We had the Ribeye Steak and the Pan Seared Trout, both were delicious. The view of Yosemite Falls through the large dining room window made the dinner especially special!

    My husband’s Wagu hamburger was delicious, but pretty expensive for a hamburger. My pork chop was over cooked despite my asking the waiter to make sure they did not overcook it. It was dry and tasteless and difficult to cut with a knife. Be prepared to drop at least $100 on dinner for food that is not that special. However, the ambience was very nice and the service was great.

    We had an excellent meal. Started with the French onion soup and enjoyed an entrée of curry chicken served beautifully with multicolored, cauliflower and rice. The offerings on the menu are varied, making it a great spot to come with others. Beautiful views from the windows. Service was very good.

    We are there a few years back and it was an outstanding experience. They are still struggling a bit post pandemic. Pretty sure they sous vide their meat which can be good or off the mark. The pork chop was a touch dry and the tenderloin tasted more like a sirloin...again a touch dry even though it was a perfect med rare. John was a fabulous waiter and we were over-all satisfied.

    I didn’t know what to expect after the other eateries’ cafeteria food so I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, excellent service and good food. I had the trout and my husband had salmon (trout was better). The gentleman pouring and refilling the water was great as we drank a lot to compensate for the dry climate and exercise. We enjoyed the experience enough to make reservations for another night.

    Steak was warm and didn't live up to the $60 price tag. Pork chops were over cooked and dry. Mashed potatoes were cold. Side veggie was about two tablespoons worth of cauliflower. Meh. Bread pudding had way too much salt. All together $250 for three people. Save your money.

    We ordered the rib eye steak and French onion soup. Both were very good. The waiter was excellent. Our table was in a corner with no view and a draft coming in from the door. I left my purse there after eating. Someone delivered it to my cabin in Curry Village. What a life saver. Would love to thank her but I didn't get to meet her.

    Beautiful views. Staff was attentive, courteous, prompt. The rice and vegetables were served cold. The chicken breast was plenty cayenne hot but otherwise uninteresting seasoning. Dining there was a nice experience, but it was not because of the food.

    My husband and I were very hungry after hiking all day and the dinner was much needed to refuel ourselves. I had mays chicken breast it was really delicious the different flavor from the chipotle, to sweet grapes on the salad was delightful. My husband had the wagu burger and substitute the sweet potato fries for mash potatoes and it was no problem. He add a colossal shrimp to his meal, it did lack seasoning and perhaps butter but overall good.

    Serving portions were good. Filet was tasty and tender. Ribeye Tenderloin was lacking flavor but cooked perfectly as ordered. The vegetables were minimal which was good because they did not add anything to the meal which was a shame. The potatoes were OK, not much flavor but with a little effort could have added alot to the meal. No bread/dinner rolls come with the meal which is a same. (The bread is considered and extra and has to be ordered as an appetizer!) Overall the meal was fair to good. Price was on the high side for the overall flavor of the meal. The ambiance was excellent. We were seated near the windows so the setting was Gorgeous for a meal. The service of the waitress and staff were excellent, they kept my water glass filled, which in my case was quite often. Would go back but would probably not order the tenderloin.
