    This place is awesome. The price point is extremely reasonable for what it is. Entrees range about $30-$55, we would have paid double in Tulsa Oklahoma. The vibe inside is cozy cabin, but elegant and upscale. The seating is comfortable, the staff is kind and helpful. The drink menu is expansive, the wine is delicious. And the food. Where to start! The presentation is amazing, and the options are on point. It was hard to choose! But most of all, it’s just delicious. So incredibly good. Definitely worth the visit, and stop by Convict Lake before dinner for a lovely sunset!

    Great restaurant. It has a perfect mountain vibe. It is not stuffy but nice and feels slightly upscale and quiet. We were seated in a comfortable booth. Our server was friendly and professional—welcoming us with complimentary warm sourdough. We got Elk, Duck, and fish. All entrees were fantastic. The dessert was also good. We were glad we made the drive from Mammoth.

    One of our favorite restaurants in the general area. Chilean sea bass from Alaska was perfect.
