Restaurants near Yosemite South Gateway

We really enjoyed our experience dining at the Ahwahnee Hotel Dining Room. The food was very good and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was also very lovely with the piano playing beautifully in the background. I think my ONLY negative comment is that the food and coffee were not nice and hot, which is important to probably only me, but overall I think the experience was worth every penny.

The quintessential European Country Inn Dining experience. Warm & Welcoming “The Elderberry House” exudes Elegance & Refinement. Ambiance abounds in this hillside retreat. We’ve dined there since Erna first opened the Inn, a premiere dining venue and the “Château du Sureau” is the perfect compliment for that special celebration or weekend sojourn.

Great service. Fun cocktail @$13. Decorated for Christmas. Winter, so dark early and low water=no view. Busy on Saturday—we had a reservation. Sunset menu 4-6. We didn’t find anything we wanted on it so ordered off regular menu. Menu trimmed this time of year. Love it here. Pricey.

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!

Our meal was extremely good - as was the service. My only concern was with the bill. The customer receipt only had the total bill and "recommended tipping" percentages. I added a decent tip and signed the receipt. We were talking about the bill - and I said it seemed higher than i expected - so we looked at the other copy of the bill - the one with the breakdown. It had a very small line that said 20% banquet fee had been added to the total. This meant that the wait staff got a nearly 40% tip from me. ..which was not what I intended to do.
