From Breanna at the bar to service from Jenni, Anthony started us out with a great table by the fireplace. Only reason for 4 star Ambiance: weekend Christmas vacation with a few wailing little kids

The service was excellent. The ambiance was extraordinary. The selections for the breakfast buffet were adequate, but were lukewarm. $34 is a little pricey for just an average buffet, especially at the Ahwahnee.

We often seek out restaurants owned by Top Chef contestants and winners during our travels, so we’ve had the privilege of enjoying some incredible meals. It’s no exaggeration to say that the food at the Mountain Room is on par with those high-caliber establishments. The trout, in particular, was outstanding—beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. If you’re visiting, don’t miss it!

We went to Bass Lake last year for Thanksgiving. This year to Tenaya Lodge. Tenaya was far superior. It wasn't just a buffet, it was a fine dining experience. The harp music was an excellent choice also. Will do it again!

The June Bug Cafe has great food at a reasonable price in a grown-up camp atmosphere which is fitting, as the whole Yosemite Bug feels like a really cool, funky summer camp in the woods, for all ages. Big portions, well made, fresh meals. We stayed at a different hotel recently and, after a disappointing breakfast at that hotel, drove to the June Bug for a great, satisfying breakfast the next morning.
