    The dinner was great. Some of our party arrived early and were seated and enjoyed drinks until the rest of the party got there. Service was great and the manager stopped by to make sure everything was great.

    We had a wonderful dinner at The Restaurant at Convict Lake. I ordered the venison, and my wife had the rainbow trout—both were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We also shared the mushroom appetizer and the roasted garlic appetizer, which were both delicious and a great start to the meal. Service was friendly and attentive throughout, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Overall, a fantastic dining experience in a beautiful setting.

    This is the hidden gem of the Sierras. I have always been surprised at the iffy dining opportunities in Mammoth Lakes, but this blew my socks off. The food was excellent - I had a rack of lamb that was perfectly cooked to medium rare. The sides were flavorful and well executed. The dining room has an old time western feel, but not worn or outdated. Just timeless. We had our small dog with us and they made allowances by putting us in an emptier room, and let the dog stay on the floor under the table. The service was friendly and informative, truly proud of the place and it's preeminent place in the hearts of the community (many would go for special occasions). Don't miss this place. The lake has a nice easier hike around it as well, if you have time.
