Best dining experience in a while. We loved this place. The server was awesome. The food was super high quality but not gourmet. It felt like real food cooked at home. Lots of yummy choices to pick from. They accommodated the 3 kids under 6 well. Mini mason jars with lids. All washable reusable stuff! I enjoyed the red sangria. And although the beer selection was lacking because they’d kicked three kegs the night before, my hubby was able to find a selection he liked too. I loved the ratatouille. The fish was great. The Mac and cheese was awesome. Great zucchini. And the baked potatoes seemed baked not microwaved like so many places do it. Did I mention the home made apple sauce? But really, the service! Definitely coming back here next trip.

Went to dinner with 2 adults and 2 young teens using the Open Table App. I rely on Open Table to provide quality choices, this was not one of them. Outdated decor; broken items here and there (front door and booths); understaffed; several food items from menu not available; steak undercooked (ordered medium and it was very, very raw in center). We would most likely not return.

Exceptionally slow service (from the kitchen - the waiters were hustling). No acknowledgement from the restaurant. Very frustrating. Food was solid, but not great. Great chicken sandwich and burger. Mediocre wedge and poor tasting and over breaded fish and chips.

We were visiting Mammoth to enjoy a few days of skiing. We really enjoyed our dinner with a big group of friends and kids. The food was very tasty. The restaurant was very busy with holiday skiers, and they were understaffed that night, but every one was really friendly. We weren’t in a hurry, plus it’s vacation time, and once we got seated, our drinks and dinner came promptly and everything was really delicious. We were the last group to leave, we never felt rushed as we relaxed and enjoyed a couple more drinks.

Had dinner here last night, we enjoyed it. Good home cooking. Super nice people, we would come back. This place has so much potential but desperately needs a few tweaks to enhance the ambiance. 3 tips to the owners: 1- Dim the lights please!! 2 -Add candles and drop some white linens on the tables 3- Live music- Acoustic guitar or piano would have been a nice touch on a weekend. (Especially on a holiday like NYE)
