An absolutely mind-blowing restaurant -- after being in California for a few months, this is easily top 3! Totally worth the price. Kaiseki-style with a Ameri-Japanese fusion twist. Every single dish was crafted with so much care! Especially the chocolate -- such a pity the chef doesn't sell it separately, it's next-level amazing. Service was super nice too -- the waiter noticed we were the last table and gave us 4 extra chocolates!! U should definitely not miss this restaurant if ur in Lee vining area!

The staff were very friendly and attentive, always coming to check if my fiancé needed more coffee. I ordered the Mike's special and my fiancé got the Nicely's special. We also got the bread pudding Ala mode. It was sooo delicious. The crinkle fries were nice and crispy and the sandwich was nice and flavorful as well. It is definitely great diner food. This place reminded me of a diner we had back at home in Hawaii and it had history just like this diner but due to COVID that diner closed its door. It was one of the last standing diners that we had and they got closed. So I was very happy to experience this diner vibe again. If you're on your way to or from Mammoth, you should definitely stop to try if you haven't.

I ordered salmon with miso sauce, but it was not miso at all -- it was some kind of sour,…read morecompletely different sauce. The fish was overcooked to the point of being dry and inedible. I had specifically asked to substitute the rice, but it was still served -- and there was a hair in it, which is absolutely unacceptable from a hygiene standpoint. The kids' burger was overcooked to the point of being dry like a cracker, and the fries looked and tasted like they were cooked in old, repeatedly used oil. This is unsafe and unacceptable, especially for children's food. The steak was ordered medium well, but was served well done -- completely overcooked. The chimichurri sauce was also misleading: instead of the classic green sauce, a red mixture was served that had nothing to do with it. The coleslaw was simply awful. Additionally, the staff showed no proper response -- we were not offered a replacement, a discount, or even a proper apology. This reflects a complete disregard for service standards and customer care. In its current state, this does not meet even basic restaurant standards.

We got the Philly Cheese Steak Sando, Pastrami Burger, Bacon Cheese burger, fries and onion rings. My Philly cheese steak was missing the mushroom and bell peppers that a normal Philly cheese steak sandwich should have, kind of disappointed with that. For a quick bite, this place will suffice especially being in a rural area. Clean restaurant and good customer service.

Decided to still try out a couple of new spots to give Mammoth a chance and was pleasantly surprised by Mammoth Tavern. Stopped in on a Saturday night and were told that the wait would be about 30 to 40 minutes but were seated in about 10! I highly recommend waiting in their waiting area or downstairs for your table as they will come to find to if something opens up quicker. Everything we ordered was tasty. We were very hesitant to try the Asian sticky ribs but it actually ended up being really good. I can't remember what the vegetable dish (4th pic) was called but it was also very good if you got a bite with everything in it. It had sweet potato, beet, candied walnuts and pomegranate seeds! We also ordered some drinks. The curry drink (forgot the name) was surprisingly good despite the odd list of ingredients that went in. Their local black cherry soda was also very nice. Service is great and very helpful when it came to recommendations. The space is small and doesn't allow dogs which was a bummer but still a spot I would come back to try more of their seasonal items!
