About the restaurant

Small. Casual. Personable.

Good people with a good vibe in a laid back, fun atmosphere- no white table cloths here!

With over 20 years of cooking experience, Chef Matt Garcia brings a new dining experience to Tuolumne County. Classically trained at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in San Francisco, Chef Matt has worked with some of the Bay Area's top chefs. As a young chef he was nominated as 7x7 Rising Star Chef, creating beautiful dishes that showcase the freshness of the ingredients and their bright, natural flavor and he continues to do so. The Branch is a place where we come together, to eat, enjoy and relax.

Located under the Twain Harte arch, our casual environment allows you to enjoy yourself with a glass of wine, beer or sparkling in hand. We welcome you to The Branch and we look forward to serving you.

I have had the opportunity to eat at some other remote fine dining locations , Koks in the Faroe Islands, the Funken Lodge in Svalbard and the Mono Inn ranks right up there with them at a much more affordable price. A place like this in San Francisco would be 50% more and instead of an amazing view of Mono Lake you would likely have to sidestep the trash and smell of the City!

Our experience was great-as always. The vibe in the tavern is fun and boisterous. The decor and ambiance is “upscale lodge” and the service is most always outstanding. They appreciate their local business too and as a result we come fairly often.

To the extent that there are very few dining options at Tenaya, Jackalopes has a good enough menu for standard American fare. The dishes were above average in flavor and freshness - making up for the fact that it was “upscale” in price. The service was maddeningly slow, and I suspect they are understaffed in the kitchen and wait staff.

The Ahwahnee Hotel

Yosemite

About the restaurant

The Ahwahnee Dining Room is currently serving breakfast and dinner in buffet style service featuring many classic favorites like eggs benedict and a full selection of breakfast favorites. At dinner, enjoy a carving station featuring our famous Prime Rib and more. If you experience difficulty making a reservation through Open Table, please call us directly at (209) 372-1490 so we may assist you.

The Ahwahnee is near completion of a seismic retrofit renovation project in partnership with the National Park Service to preserve this iconic hotel. During the last phase of the project (May - August), the impacted areas will be isolated to the West Terrace and surrounding areas near the Dining Room. This work will result in some obstructed views, and we expect construction noise between 10AM–4PM, Monday–Friday. We have done our best to mitigate any negative guest experiences, though we recognize it may cause inconveniences and conditions. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Excellent staff serving our table. Right on their game! Food is enjoyable, atmosphere fantastic. Will be nice when the construction trailers and toilets are finally removed. Upsides: atmosphere and staff. Biggest downsides: cold breakfast potatoes and a chemical smell on the OJ glass-perhaps not rinsed well enough?

About the restaurant

Located just off the lobby, our in-house restaurant, Whitebark features innovative dining options. A contemporary ambiance and great views of Mammoth’s soothing surroundings set the atmosphere for any occasion. A welcoming fire burns warmly in the center of the open, airy space inspired by our country’s national parks. Enjoy a full meal from the innovative menu, or simply stop by for evening drinks at the lounge.

Most of the food was properly cooked, specially the lamb chops but the fish plates were overcooked and dry for a party of 10 people
