6/28/2013 - We were looking to have a good diner after a day of exploring Yosemite. The waitress was distracted and not paying much attention to detail with the order. The server brough our drinls to us then left. After three other families that came into the restaurant after we were seated were served their diner we complained to the lead hostess as to why our diner order had not been brought to us. The hostess said that our order would be right out (took about 25 minutes). Seems that our waitress did not actually submit our order. Two out of three of the diners were correct and one completely wrong. A flat iron steak was provided in place of prime rib. The lead hostess adjusted the order taking the price of the staek off the bill. The hostess said she was compimg the prime rib and drinks as well. The other diners were poorly cooked and cause one of us to get sick. Everthing was overdone and mushy. The items that were supposed to be comped were not. The whole ordeal was very stressful and diner was ruined. For the prices they were charging we should have not had any problems with diner. We should have been given been given a 50% discount on the bill for the lack of attention to detail and service.
Review Source:I ordered a medium-rare steak with a red wine sauce, mushrooms, bacon and green onions. The steak was served perfectly cooked, but it was completely devoid of flavor. I tasted green onions and a hint of a red wine sauce, but the beef and bacon had taste.
The following night, I ordered a cheeseburger and experienced the same issue. It was bland with no taste from the beef. I got texture without flavor.
For service, I went to the soup and salad bar and I was surprised when I had to wait for one of the kitchen staff fill his soup bowl, which was two or three times bigger than the guest bowls. He didn't have a care in the world as a scooped soup into his bowl and chatted with other wait staff while I waited.
The following nights, I cooked dinner in my room. Seared pork chops braised in golden mushroom soup with microwaved macaroni and cheese was much better than the restaurant and cost orders of magnitude less.
I wouldn't count on this being the primary meal place when coming to the area. We ate here once for breakfast and that was it. We couldn't order whatever we wanted they had buffet only. For the money it was the saddest breakfast buffet I've seen in a long time. The egg and pancake trays were completely empty. Salsa was gone...potatoes looked picked over. Everything looked horrible. Although the servers were nice enough, even the service was not that great. The coffee was some cheap type that tasted horrible. It was pricey for this breakfast thing that was less than satisfactory.
Review Source:We stayed at the lode on premises. When we checked in we got a coupon for a free appetizer with any entree so decided we would check it out. Was so not worth anything free. They should have paid me to eat that crap. The food was frozen reheated and microwaved. The waiter was poorly trained and kept forgetting us. And it was over priced!! Â Save yourself the heartburn and bring your own food or eat in the park.
Review Source:OMG DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! even if the front desk gives you vouchers with your Living Social Deal for a free appetizer! Just don't!
My boyfriend and I left Sacramento a little later than I would have liked and by the time we rolled into the hotel for check-in I was starving so we thought we would grab a bite to eat at the restaurant. There was nothing to eat for about 30 miles each way and we assumed everything inside Yosemite park would be closed, so we figured it was this or scrounging around in the gift shop for some top-ramen or something else equally unappetizing.
We should have just went with the top ramen :-/. Here's why-
The menu was hideously over-priced  and my boyfriend and I were both on a budget. We nearly gasped when we saw the menu and realized that everything was about $20 on average. Luckily we found a hamburger for $14.
We ended up waiting about 45 minutes for the hamburger and it wasn't even that busy. The waiter didn't even apologize. When the food arrived it was both cold AND burned. I was hungry so I attempted to eat it anyway. The meat was dry and burned. The fries tasted like something you'd buy from the frozen section in the grocery store and that was also burned and cold. The cold slaw was flavorless. I ate about 1/3 of my food before I decided that I couldn't take it anymore.
The waiter didn't even bother asking how the food was until we were finished. I politely said "it was okay". To add salt to my wounds, he responded "just okay?". It took every ounce of strength I had left after my crazy 4 hour drive not to tell the jerk off. I had seriously had better quality food from a fast food place or even Dennys.
I'm just glad I didn't waste $20 on the food- we went outside to see if the pizza place next door was going to be open the next day when this family started talking to us. Apparently they had tried the $16 fish and chips and said it was like something out of a box of Gorton's or something equally horrendous. For $16 i could have bought the Costco pack and had fish sticks for like a whole month!
This restaurant SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO STOP PRETENDING TO BE NICE BECAUSE IT IS SO NOT! It's like Dennys or a truck stop diner put white linen napkins and nice silverware on their tables and dressed their staff up while serving the same bad food.
Terrible. Â I we ordered various things for dinner from burgers to a curry. Not one of the four people at our table was happy with their meal. Â The veggies all tasted like they were frozen, I have no idea what the hell their "curry" actually was, and the burgers seemed to be lower quality than frozen patties from Costco. Â If you're hungry and you're right here, go to the pizza place next door, it's decent. Â This place is insanely expensive for terrible food.
The one upside
The waitress was very pleasant and took one of the meals off of our check (and didn't seem surprised at all by our lack of satisfaction with the food...)
