    Everything was delicious! Service was great. Nice hideaway restaurant in the woods :)

    We ate here last night but it was a let down especially for $99 per person 3 course meal. The staff was very nice so no complaint there but the service was super slow. It took about 35 minutes to get every dish and the portions were extremely small. We were served 1 small ravioli. The steak was good and so were the drinks but the portions were so small. I laughed when I saw the baby carrots and the 3 hallowed out fries filled with air.

    We were fortunate to be able to have a wonderful dinner at Embers restaurant at Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite. The prefix menu was a delight of flavors and the wine pairing made for an even more enjoyable time. Our soumila helped us to understand the pairings and what to expect from the selection of wines that we were having. We were greeted from the beginning by the team. We were able to meet the chefs and talk with them about the food. Remember to ask if they have the pinecone (its great after the meal as a mint) Thank you to the entire team for such a great memory, and a beautiful setting.

    Great table in front of the fireplace. They have a reasonable corkage fee and also a wonderful selection of local wines as well.

    Embers is an oasis! You pass through the glass door and enter a quiet, dignified restaurant. Embers might be located in the Tenaya Lodge but inside you feel like you're miles away. I recommend making reservations since it seems to be popular. We were seated promptly and had a wonderful table for two in front of the fireplace. They feature many local wines and we opted for a red from Idle Hour that was spectacular. We also brought our own bottle to enjoy with dinner - they have a very reasonable corkage fee. Our server, Gordon, guided our choices wonderfully. We both started with the Lobster Bisque. It's made with a puff pastry cooked over the top of the bowl, which gives it a dramatic presentation. The pastry is sprinkled with crispy garlic from another layer of flavor. It was some of the best lobster bisque I've ever had and the hubs said it was the best he's ever had. We moved onto the Filet Oscar for our main courses. Delicious! Hands down some of the best flavors ever - filet mignon perfectly seasoned and cooked, a tender artichoke bottom, fluffy crab - all topped with a delicate Bearnaise sauce. WOW. Yes, we were quite full when we finished, but after that wonderful meal we couldn't help but wonder, "What would Gordon have for dessert?" LOL Well, Gordon didn't disappoint. He suggested a Myer Lemon Creme Brulee with freshly made whipped cream and fresh berries. It was a flavorful explosion in my mouth! Gordon was the perfect server and balanced attentiveness and privacy. We enjoyed a quiet meal that was incredibly delicious. The tables are situated so you feel private from everyone else. And, to top off a great evening, they played a great selection of Christmas songs.

    Amazing service! I got the filet mignon and it was in a reduction sauce of wine, but I asked if I could have the dish with another sauce because I had a sulfite allergy. But the server Camille really went above and beyond. She brought me two alternate sauces. She wanted to accommodate my allergy to the maximum and for me to have the best experience possible. I only really get sauces Incase the steak is a bit dry but this wasn't an issue here as it was very good. But I really appreciate the gesture and length Camille went to as steak is my favorite food but no server has ever gone the extra mile with not just one sauce but two!

We both had the prime rib with Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes and a nice vegetable mix. The meat was massive. We couldn't finish it. Our server was caring and friendly! The food came fast! The ambiance was resort style with a massive bar if you're so inclined. Dessert was nice and made from scratch. If you're staying at Tenaya. That's the place to go.

Our server thought someone else was taking care of us which didn't really explain why we weren't even offered water for about 10 minutes. Also, aren't servers assigned sections? Either way, it sucked having to wait that long for water but server was apologetic and rest of the service was fast. The food itself was just ok. Nothing amazing but it wasn't bad either. I expected the pricing based on previous reviews and the fact that it's located at a resort. Although expected I wouldn't say the food was necessarily worth the price. We ordered poke nachos to start, kids teriyaki chicken meal, a burger, grilled chees and tomatoe soup and the short rib pasta. The teriyaki sauce had an unusual gravy-like consistency but chicken was well seasoned. The burger was fine, and came with onion rings which were good. The grilled cheese and soup were the favorite with the short rib pasta as a follow up. I would eat here again if staying on site since everything else is about a 20min drive.

Cute restaurant, like a old house transformed, really only smelled like an old house in the tiny narrow bathrooms Service was absolutely fantastic, everyone we interacted with was so lovely. They all seemed to know everyone who was dining there, we were for sure the out of towners. I had a filet with side salad and baked potato. The vegetable side was well seasoned and cooked well. Basic side dish but done so well I ate them all. The thought that went into making my baked potato ready to scoop out was a small thought but I appreciated it! Even my salad was cold, crispy and crunchy. The bread on the table was delicious. My stake was yummy and loved the jus and mushrooms served with them. Hubs had the prime rib, he said it was one of the best ones he had in a long times he had the clam chowder to start and it was super tasty!!! Glad we had my birthday meal here!

    Charles Street Dinner House, Mariposa: 2026 Mar 12 (4 of 5)…read more Let me start off by saying that we were extremely pleased with the service, thanks to Dillon (who showed genuine rapport), Tomben (his honest opinions) and Amya (who brought me piping hot water in a beautiful mug and teapot). Their friendly, yet professional attitude make this eatery stand out. (5 of 5) This eatery has a vintage feel and historical charm. We felt we could really relax and take our time instead of being rushed to order, eat, then leave. The atmosphere feels rustic, exposing the past. It was a time capsule for folks who enjoyed that era. FOOD: Sauteed Mushroom Soup: The soup arrived with garlic bread. The soup had an earthy, savoury and nutty texture. The rich, velvety mushrooms were bouncy and cooked well, while the umami-packed broth felt comforting. The garlic bread that accompanied the mushroom soup had a perfect balance of textures - heavily buttered, with savoury garlic flavour. The golden-brown, crispy exterior was not overly toasted and the sticks were enhanced with a touch of herbal flavour. (5 of 5) New Zealand Rack of Lamb: This was my order - cooked medium-rare. The perfectly cooked meat was tender - unfortunately lacked seasoning, but a dash of salt brought this to a perfect 5. (5 of 5) I had a choice of potatoes or rice pilaf and made a wrong decision. The rice pilaf looked like baby food, and the fresh red pepper over-powered the entire dish. I tried a small scoop and was disappointed. Needless to say, I couldn't eat another bite of the rice. (1 of 5) My vegetables were mostly cooked well. They had a bit of crunch and texture but not raw. My dinner came with Tomato Soup. The soup tasted nutty and lemony, with a slight heat - and has a good aftertaste. It was silky and smooth, rich, and velvety. (5 of 5) Scallone: Our other order came with onion soup. My dinner partner had the privilege of tasting one of the best scallone years ago and was hoping to bring back great memories of this special dish he loved. This marriage of blending ground abalone and scallops is a savoury dish formed into patties. It is then breaded and lightly pan-fried in butter. The texture is supposed to be tender yet firm. The temperature was perfect but the patty came out almost like a regular pancake. A chunk of fresh red pepper was also thrown in, perhaps for colour, but it overpowered the dish. The pilaf rice was also a no-no. When the server came and asked how we enjoyed the dishes, I had to be blunt and said, "I didn't like the rice". Our server apologized and immediately offered to remove the rice on both plates and asked if we'd like potatoes instead. My partner opted for the baked potato. (5 of 5) The onion soup that accompanied this order was also a fail. Overall, this dinner was a 2 of 5. We were there to celebrate my birthday, so for dessert, we got Coconut Crème Brulee. Even though it wasn't cooked evenly, the light flavour of the coconut did not take over the mild flavour of the crème brulee. A lovely ending to an interesting dinner... and the crème brulee was a birthday treat, on the house. (4 of 5) Would we return? I think we would. I'd like to try other items on the menu because we feel it our privilege to have met some of the nicest staff in an eatery.

That is exactly what happened during my recent dinner at Elderberry House. I visited with a group of four, and between us, we had two gluten-free diners and one vegetarian. After a quick heads-up the day before, the restaurant handled our needs with total ease. We went for the five-course tasting menu, and it was incredible from start to finish. We kicked things off with one of the best oysters I have ever had, followed by a beautiful tuna presentation. The kitchen even looked out for our gluten-free friends with a special version of their herbal-butter focaccia that was actually delicious. By the time the main courses arrived, I honestly could not decide if I liked my beef or my friend's snap pea risotto better; every single bite was pure perfection. The cocktails were another high point. My first drink was great, but after chatting with our server, Jordan, I decided to try the Last Word. It featured that hard-to-find green chartreuse, and I am a little annoyed to report that I have a new favorite cocktail that requires such a rare ingredient. The service is what really made the night so special. Jordan was so charismatic and helpful, making sure we were perfectly taken care of all evening. He was so good that I almost worried a second visit would not be the same without him, though the rest of the staff quickly put that fear to rest. Abby was so friendly and responsible for a truly unique but perfect-for-the-vibe playlist, and Chris the mixologist even stopped by to geek out about gin and cocktails with us. From the genuine care for our food sensitivities to the clever touch of the iPad check-in hidden in an elegant binder, it was a night for the books. I cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to bringing my family next!

We had a pretty large party and with a small menu we almost covered it all. The best things on the menu were the empanadas even though they didn't make sense on paper and the rest was disappointing. Being as how we were the table sending things back I will have to say the service was 5 plus stars. You never know how anyone is going to take you being as how they have their own personal relationship with the food (and kinda have to like it since it's their job) so we were nice, paid for what they felt like they needed to charge us for and left. Upside? The facility is a nice piece of history up here. Had the food matched that it would've been a 5 start experience all the way around. Nice little river running thru the property and over the top maintained. We didn't see the insides of the rooms but if it matched the dining area this place was pretty phenomenal. Back one more time on the food, none of the fish dishes were worth it. Tiny sliver portions and super fishy tasting for it to be a busy Saturday. If you like fish and fishy flavor it's for you, but if you're a non fish tasting person who likes fish (I know my target fish audience gets that) skip it. It wasn't good. We also skipped dessert so can't comment on that. The other parts of the meal were just not that good. Also had a tequila cocktail I'm not sure why I ordered a second one of that kept me up from whatever the juice was they used in it. Wish I could remember which but at least it was strong enough for me to brave the second.
