   A must do experience in Yosemite. Really enjoyable food and service. Only issue was getting our check took 30 minutes. They even had kid items like chicken tenders and Mac and cheese.

   Iconic! Everyone should the opportunity to dine at The Ahwahnee Hotel ! Great place to make memories that last a lifetime, including birthdays and anniversary! Buffet was lovely (always more there than anyone can savor). The live piano music, candles and attention to detail were outstanding.

   The service was very good , very friendly staff, but choice of food in the buffet was very poor! The only choice for bread was a small bagel! No omelet station, only 2 kinds f fruits

   Most everything was great except the dinner buffet in the dining room. Variety was ok but hot food was bland and cool or cold. Eat there only for the experience. Breakfast buffet was good, though.

   I don't want to post negative reviews, but this place is historic and epic in many ways, which comes with crazy high expectations. Sadly, it was in need of some serious upgrades. Since the pandemic, the restaurant has stopped offering menus and traditional ordering the food you want from your table. I tried the breakfast, and it was a buffet that isn't a death sentence if it's good. This was similar to what you might experience at Best Western. Everything that was meant to be hot was cold,including scrambled eggs that were stiff bricks, potatoes, chicken sausage... The selection was very limited and basic, and for 3, the bill came to $150. I ended up canceling my dinner reservations, which was also buffet at $63 a person. Maybe I'm not a buffet type unless you're at a wedding or Vegas :) I get the struggles hotels and restaurants have been dealing with since the pandemic, but managing the basics and doing more than average is required in this new era. That said, what an absolutely stunning location.

   The historical setting in the middle of Yosemite is an amazing experience and totally worth it. They had a simple yet delicious buffet with exceptional service. Enjoy!!!

   Poor quality food, especially the roast beef and the prawns. We prefer our roast beef medium but the carver would not bring out a new roast until all of the well done was gone. The quality of the beef was sub par. This dinner was no where near worth the price they charge. The room itself is historic and marvelous. Server was overwhelmed and under staffed

   Beautiful dining room! Beautiful historic hotel, one of the highlights of our trip (as far as dining). The food was better than most inside the park - I highly recommend!

   Recommend an early reservation. They ran out of several food items by our 8:00 reservation.
