We came for our Anniversary and the atmosphere didn't disappoint--however, not only was the service terrible, our food was just so-so. Our waitress was a nice lady, but she must have had something on her mind as she didn't know the menu, got our orders wrong, forgot our salad, re-filled the wrong drink--and rejected our Gift Card which I had...

I stayed here for two nights, and found the food to be remarkably bad, especially considering the expense. Any home town diner can prepare better than this. The cooks (I can't call them chefs) seem to have no pride at all. Vegetarians are advised to not even consider this hotel. For example, one of our evenings consisted of a private... More

The historic and beautiful Ahwahnee Hotel dining room isn't what it used to be. The food is expensive and very average. The service is nice but the charm seems to be gone. After 50 years of dining here, we have seen it change to an average road house experience with high prices and few interesting choices. The experience of dining... More

This is the eighth National Park lodge dining room we've eaten in and hands-down the best of those we've tried by every measure -- interior, service, cuisine, and overall experience. It was simply fantastic, the dishes we had were exquisitely prepared, the service was outstanding, and the room is beautiful. I was extremely impressed with the warm hospitality from all... More

Ahwahnee is spectacular. Even if you can't afford to stay at the Lodge with $450 plus tax room rate minimums, you can have dinner. Pricey ($235 for 3 with a total of five drinks), but excellent food in a glorious old lodge dining room. Highly recommend on all counts. Reservations are essential, although 5:30 dining time seemed empty. Steak dinner... More

We didn't stay at this hotel as we couldn't get a reservation, but we did get to experience Sunday Brunch at the Ahwahnee. The amount of food was amazing. Eggs, waffles, pancakes, sausage, bacon, cold salads, smoked fish, oysters, salmon, carved meats, and many pastries and cakes. Almost everything was excellent. I only had one item that wasn't up to... More

The room is grand and historic. Great views by the window. Food is acceptable. Some things are worse than others. The lobster pizza was bad. The vegetarian entree was good. Meat is cooked well. Nothing special food wise.

We hoped for better here. Our first night we could only get a reservation for 8:00 pm, and were seated at about 8:15. No window seats, but hey put us in the vicinity of a view. OK, that was reasonable. There was a waitress and her assistant. The assistant became MIA rapidly, and was of no help. The waitress was... More

We dined at the Ahwahnee while staying at the hotel. We made a reservation a couple months in advance per their advice. The day of our reservation we got done hiking earlier than expected & were able to dine before our reserved time. The restaurant is very elegant & the staff are dressed the part. The room is large with... More
