    Very nice retro feel to a time when going out to eat at a ski resort was a real gastronomic event,

    This is one of the best restaurants in the Mammoth Lakes area. It’s always a pleasure to dine here. The food is superb, their wine list is great, and the service is wonderful. I’ve got to learn to leave room for dessert though!
