The service was excellent. The ambiance was extraordinary. The selections for the breakfast buffet were adequate, but were lukewarm. $34 is a little pricey for just an average buffet, especially at the Ahwahnee.

We often seek out restaurants owned by Top Chef contestants and winners during our travels, so we’ve had the privilege of enjoying some incredible meals. It’s no exaggeration to say that the food at the Mountain Room is on par with those high-caliber establishments. The trout, in particular, was outstanding—beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. If you’re visiting, don’t miss it!
