Our dinners were delicious. The menu was varied, so that our group of seven with various dietary needs were easily accommodated. My steak was rare and the salmon was moist. Altogether a good experience.

The June Bug Cafe has great food at a reasonable price in a grown-up camp atmosphere which is fitting, as the whole Yosemite Bug feels like a really cool, funky summer camp in the woods, for all ages. Big portions, well made, fresh meals. We stayed at a different hotel recently and, after a disappointing breakfast at that hotel, drove to the June Bug for a great, satisfying breakfast the next morning.
