"The Ahwanhee Dining room - although pricey - reminded us of the Hogwart's dining hall, which was of course very enchanting, and we all thought the dinner food was excellent."

“Nestled in Yosemite Valley, the architecture echoes a bygone era, hinting at grand traditions and drawing inspiration from multiple design styles. Dining remains a highlight, particularly the seasonal events drawing renowned chefs; still, some have noted inconsistencies in service, especially regarding amenities like parking. It's an experience rooted in history, with occasional reminders of age.”
