I love this restaurant… that being said, I have an issue with booking with open table. I reserved a table for our Anniversary (which you ask if we’re celebrating something) not once did anyone acknowledge our Anniversary… people who walked in right before us with no reservations got a better table. I think sometimes it might be better off going straight to the restaurant.

We go to this restaurant once a year when we are in town for the season opener for fishing. We love the food and the location of this fantastic restaurant. We will be going back at least once a year for years to come. I recommend this place

Always great. Have been going here for 20 years. A hidden gyem is their homemade ice cream. The trout was excellent. They make their own fettuccini. YUMMY

Year after year, the Restaurant at Convict Lake remains one of the high points of our trips to Mammoth. From pre-dinner cocktails to perfectly prepared and elegantly presented main courses and irresistible desserts, the meals are among our favorites of all the restaurants we visit in California. Add the outstanding service and spectacular natural setting, and it's clear why the longstanding reputation of this charming dining establishment continues to grow.

It was a lovely family dinner, that included our well-behaved 7 yr old grandson. I wasn't sure if the young one would be welcome, but he was. We were celebrating my return to skiing after recovery from two hip replacements. So we needed a restaurant worthy of the happy occasion. The Restaurant at Convict Lake delivered. The food was awesome & the service was attentive but not stuffy. I had my favorite, Beef Wellington, which was superb. The steak frites and the lamb were also enjoyed by our party. The bosc pear endive salad was abundant & delicious. We were too full to even consider desserts although the dessert menu also looked awesome. A special memorable dinner in a lovely rural setting.
