Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Ahwahnee Hotel offers a majestic dining experience with a "spectacular" dining room and "attentive" service. Currently, due to renovations, the dinner is buffet-style, which has received mixed reviews. While the prime rib and ambiance are highly praised, some diners find the buffet "mediocre." Perfect for those seeking a unique Yosemite dining adventure amidst stunning architecture.

    What happen to the Ahwahnee? I will not bore you with the comedy of errors that was my experience. Instead I will tell you, that you will receive below average food at a high price $150/couple no alcohol plus tip for food that was lukewarm at best. Service was lacking, staff appeared stretched . Only a bad buffet is available no individual dinners. Such a grand place that has fallen into decay that may jeopardize its viability as a motel 6.

    We have had breakfast in the dining room at the Ahwahnee for many years. It used to be a buffet with option to order from the menu, but with construction happening on the kitchen this year it was just a buffet. A very small buffet. Gone is the omelette station, fresh fruit, waffles. This was a lukewarm offering that I would expect to see at a much cheaper price point. So underwhelming.

    The place is beautiful and we enjoyed our dinner immensely. A buffet is currently due to reconstruction of the hotels facilities but the reduced menu in no way reduced our experience. The Prime Rib was cooked perfectly and the abundance of raw horseradish I took full advantage of. The restaurant's setting blends both a classic style with Native American flair to afford an ambiance unmatched in any prior mountain lodge I've experienced. Our waitress, much like the live piano play in the background, was professional; attentive; friendly and managed being available without being obtrusive. We had a marvelous evening.

    Ambiance and service are great, but value is not. No choice of hors d’oeuvres, and very limited choice of desserts. And i wished we had brought our own wine and just paid corkage fee, as the wine is overpriced. Other than that, it was a nice evening.
