   Pésimo el buffet en verdad de pésima calidad, muy mal sabor de los alimentos, no vale la pena comer ahí por nada. Además levantaron los pocos 10 platillos que tienen antes de que termináramos, aceptan reservación de 8:30 y después de las 9 levantan el buffet en verdad una falta de respeto.

   For the price they charge per person the food should be phenomenal. The highlights of the meal were the drinks and the soup if that gives you an idea. The proteins (chicken, fish, shrimp) were incredibly bland. The prime rib was practically raw! Salad was lackluster and sad, seriously lacking in options/toppings. Now onto dessert: lemon bar (this was good), a mini fruit tart, a glorified cupcake made out of what appeared to be a mini bundt/large macaroon, and the smallest chocolate cheese cake bite I’ve ever seen which was way to dense. Far from what would be considered “fine dining dessert”. We at least were seated in a small alcove with a nice view of the waterfall, but that alcove only has 6 small round tables, so chances of being sat there aren’t high. Overall, the price is way too steep for what is offered; and if that’s what the price is gonna be, it should be simmering in flavor.

   Dining @ the Ahwahnee is not to be missed. My party of 3 adults enjoyed the Buffet, offering a variety of breakfast selections. The view of Half Dome from our table fabulous! A lovely peaceful environment enhanced our Ahwahnee/Yosemite visit that will remain a cherished memory. Kudos to the Staff maintaining a level of service under the current Federal (DOGE) budget cuts out of Washington DC. Staff attitudes remain positive & professional under these difficult circumstances.

   Jack hammer going outside our room all day The elevators were not working. Had to call on a walkie talkie to get someone to get you down the service elevator. The room was very small as was the bathroom. In the dining room (buffet only) the windows were covered with paper. The service was good. This was our 25th wedding anniversary and we were very unhappy. We have never paid $700.00 a night but decided to splurge. I must say that they did give us 20% off and one free meal. Yosemite was beautiful.

   Basic prime rib buffet. I enjoyed the side dishes and desserts but this was an expensive meal for what it was. Paying for the ambiance.

    Alec was pur server and he was super friendly and helpful. Our large group had the breakfast buffet and food was good but could have used more variety. Dining room was a beautiful venue.
