    All the food was great. When you consider it was a buffet that is saying a lot. Plus the room and the history. You can’t beat it. Especially if you love national Parks, a must do. Took me many many years but finally made it.

    During the Ahwahnee restoration, dinner is a buffet. It is expensive and the food is not very good.

    The buffet diner left a lot to be desired. The carving station was the best part. However, the meat is rare. The sides were a disappointment. In the mixed vegetables the carrots were under cooked. The potatoes were boring and needed some seasoning. My wife and I enjoyed the soup and the desserts were good. There were very few options for my wife who is gluten free. I will not be coming back until they reopen the kitchen and have table service again.

    My husband is an omnivore & was delighted with the dinner selections. Vegetarian/vegan options were uninspiring. Labels were not all in place - where the sign said 'squash' there was a tray of mushrooms with a few pieces of squash in it. The best part of the evening was the gentleman playing piano. He was wonderful!

    The setting and service were as expected at the Ahwahnee. The food is only served buffet style and was good, but not up to old Awahnre standards. It was okay, but not delicious. The best part was the Mac and cheese. The chicken was a bit dry. The only need was very pink. To get a piece more done they would cut some off and send it back on a small plate to be cooked some more. I didn’t bother. The bread was only okay, nothing special. The soup was very good but barely warm enough for consumption. The desserts were good. We won’t be returning unless they go back to standard restaurant service, not a buffet.
