We enjoyed a special-treat lunch at the hotel dining room. The setting is spectacular, the service was quite good, the food was tasty, but nothing special, particularly at the price.

Our nature tour had our last night group dinner here. The hotel and the dining room space, architecture and ambiance are spectacular. The food was fine, but not what I expected. The portions were small and OK – but certainly not gourmet. The wait staff (2 people) seemed overwhelmed and slow. So I probably would not go here – especially... More

If you are doing the valley with a baby: The Ahwanee Hotel has the best baby-changing facilities in the Valley. The food and booze is well pricey ........ but worth it.

We had a birthday dinner in the Ahwahnee Lodge dining room We could have had a window table, but it was right next to a service station. That took some of the ambiance from the spot, so... More

The food is high quality, if a bit uncreative. The staff are very professional and helpful. The dining room itself is impressive. MAKE RESERVATIONS! Otherwise you might have a long wait.
