    We love this restaurant and eat here annually. Over three nights we ate all the vegetarian items on the menu--quinoa-lentil stuffed squash, portabella mushroom burger, soup, salads, mushroom pasta, burrata, even mocktails (mango is best) and vegan dessert, an ice cream sandwich. The staff is lovely, friendly, and helpful; the room, with high ceilings and great artwork is perfect. It's a fitting ending to a day outdoors.

    Very nice dinner, early so rather noisy with children. Server was very smart and held off to place the entrée order since my salad was large, ended up more than I could finish. Saved me money and I really appreciated the attention to detail. Thank you

    We loved this place, accept for it being next to the Hotel Pool with a lot of happy kid noise. The good was great and our waiter was excellent. it is pricy but it is after all, a resort hotel on the way to Yosemite. We would recommend this place.
