    I believe that this is one of the best restaurants in CA. If you are ever in Mammoth Lakes (6 miles away) or Bishop (30 miles away) it would definitely be worth the drive! The pork tenderloin is divine.

    A truly excellent fine dining experience, with excellent service, in the most beautiful location. My heart sinks a little at the quality of dining in the Mammoth Lakes area.... but The Restaurant at Convict Lake is truly STRATOSPHERIC. The menu, food and quality are exceptional - beautifully prepared and presented... and quickly! The wine list is extensive, and even have a quality cider (which is very rare for Eastern Sierra establishmnets. Many many thanks for such a fine dining experience. Not a burrito or burger in sight!!

    This is definitely the best restaurant in California, maybe the world. The food is amazing. The portions are large and the presentation is outstanding. Wonderful service and nice ambience among beautiful Aspen trees. I have been eating here since 1980 and the food quality and dining experience has been consistent!!
