Great restaurant. It has a perfect mountain vibe. It is not stuffy but nice and feels slightly upscale and quiet. We were seated in a comfortable booth. Our server was friendly and professional—welcoming us with complimentary warm sourdough. We got Elk, Duck, and fish. All entrees were fantastic. The dessert was also good. We were glad we made the drive from Mammoth.
