About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
The Ahwahnee Dining Room is currently serving breakfast and dinner in buffet style service featuring many classic favorites like eggs benedict and a full selection of breakfast favorites. At dinner, enjoy a carving station featuring our famous Prime Rib and more. If you experience difficulty making a reservation through Open Table, please call us directly at (209) 372-1490 so we may assist you.

The Ahwahnee is near completion of a seismic retrofit renovation project in partnership with the National Park Service to preserve this iconic hotel. During the last phase of the project (May - August), the impacted areas will be isolated to the West Terrace and surrounding areas near the Dining Room. This work will result in some obstructed views, and we expect construction noise between 10AM–4PM, Monday–Friday. We have done our best to mitigate any negative guest experiences, though we recognize it may cause inconveniences and conditions. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Yosemite is an amazing location and the Ahwahnee Hotel a historic location. Unfortunately, the Ahwahnee lacks investment and leadership. It is pretty run down, service is lacking and food is cafeteria grade.

    This is an overpriced breakfast buffet. You would get better food and selection at a cruise ship buffet. Only choice for eggs was scrambled in a warming tray. No made to order eggs or omelets. No pancakes or waffles. French toast was skimpy white bread. Not even a premium bread. Served salmon and lox but no bagels. Didn't even have a toaster on the buffet. Skip this experience. It is not worth the price.

    The ambiance of the dining room is underpasses! The food buffet was overcooked and tasteless. The buffet at a Golden Coral is far superior than what you will get here.

    Such a historical hotel! Not too many vegetarian options, but the grounds was beautiful to enjoy. Close proximity to great hiking trails.

    For the cost the food was not that good. My server was rude and didn’t seem like he wanted to wait on us. Generally I was very disappointed with my experience at this high prices restaurant.

    Yes it's expensive and it's not the greatest food you'll ever eat, but you can't find a more beautiful dining room, and if you're lucky, Tonatiuh will be at the piano and then you get to hear some everything from Chopin to Elton John played by a superstar!
