Leaving San Francisco after work, how close to Yosemite can one get before sunset and hunger kick in? The answer - Groveland! A charming gold rush era hamlet tucked inside the Sierra foothills just outside of Yosemite National Park. We checked-in to the Hotel Charlotte with time to spare for dining in the Bistro & Bar located on the main... More

You just can't ask for anything more. The Charlotte has wonderful food, Michelle, our server, was great. Our entire dining experience will not be forgotten thanks to Goose. The piano playing dog and Mayor of Groveland, CA. Thanks to all of the staff for a great evening. More

Cafe Charloette is a small restaurant with a unique look. Because we were on east-coast time, we came around 5pm and the restaurant was almost empty. We got a nice table by the window and was promptly greeted by the server. I found the wine selection to be good for such a small place in a remote location, but the... More

You wouldn't expect to get great seafood so far from the coast, but the mussels in wine broth were the BEST I've ever had. Would love to have the recipe. The next night I had the clams and they were just as good. Breakfast was great too. Cooked to order eggs and sausage, toast, muffins, OJ, milk, coffee, cereal and... More

My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary with some friends who were celebrating their 23rd anniversary, by dining at Cafe Charlotte at the Hotel Charlotte. I love the ambience of the place, sort of Victorian, with tablecloths and a fireplace in the dining room. I had the lobster ravioli, a favorite of mine. I salivate, just thinking of... More
