The Ahwahnee Dining Room is currently serving breakfast and dinner in buffet style service featuring many classic favorites like eggs benedict and a full selection of breakfast favorites. At dinner, enjoy a carving station featuring our famous Prime Rib and more. If you experience difficulty making a reservation through Open Table, please call us directly at (209) 372-1490 so we may assist you. The Ahwahnee is near completion of a seismic retrofit renovation project in partnership with the National Park Service to preserve this iconic hotel. During the last phase of the project (May - August), the impacted areas will be isolated to the West Terrace and surrounding areas near the Dining Room. This work will result in some obstructed views, and we expect construction noise between 10AM–4PM, Monday–Friday. We have done our best to mitigate any negative guest experiences, though we recognize it may cause inconveniences and conditions. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

We were very happy with our dinner here- the food, service, drinks, atmosphere all made it truly a special night. It was much better than the dinner at the Ahwahnee (still a buffet) which was also a happy surprise.

Surprisingly large venue with a choice of self seating, including outside. Take mozzie lamp if you are going outside as they are on the war path. Overall food was a high standard and the drive from Oakhurst worth it, especially on a nice evening. I would go again and try brunch next time.
