    This is the best restaurant in the Mammoth Lakes area! The setting, with massive snow covered peaks in the background, is just awe-inspiring. The interior is elegant and tastefully done. Great attentive, but not overbearing service, and a truly outstanding menu. Of note is the Baked whole garlic, which is rare to find. We had the Pork tenderloin and the Chilean Sea Bass and the Crispy skinned Duck confit. All were beautifully plated and cooked to perfection! Highly recommended!! We dine regularly in Downtown LA and in the Southbay and this ranks up with most of the best there!
