Came here with a reservation after a full day of snowboarding and were seated immediately, which was a great start. Alonso was our waiter and honestly made the whole experience. Super friendly, attentive, and took the time to walk us through the beer options while we already had our food picked out. Service like that makes a difference. We started with the mushroom soup (soup of the day). It was fully blended and smooth -- no big chunks -- and while it wasn't the most memorable soup ever, it definitely hit the spot after being out in the cold all day. The Oyster Rockefeller was the highlight. Perfectly done. The oysters tasted fresh, the spinach flavor came through nicely, and the crispy topping added the perfect crunch. I planned to have just one... ended up eating two. For the main, we ordered the steak medium well. It came out more charred on the outside than expected, so it wasn't amazing, but still solid. The fries were great though -- especially paired with beer. Overall, the food was good but not extraordinary. However, the service -- especially from Alonso -- really elevated the experience. Because of that, and the cozy post-snowboard vibe, this earns 5 stars. read more

Made reservations on Open Table to celebrate our friend's birthday here. I also called to let the host know that we were celebrating a birthday and if that can be noted. We arrived and were greeted warmly by our host and seated at a table in front of the fireplace. The restaurant is very small and cozy. Our server took our drink orders and brought out a bread basket. We all ordered the following: - Soup of the day (loaded baked potato) - short rib fries - oven roasted Frenched chicken breast - chicken Parmesan - pan seared chinook salmon - shrimp scampi There was a small hiccup when my 10-year-old son noticed another table had been served chicken tenders and fries. We weren't offered a kids' menu, so he had ordered chicken Parmesan from the regular menu. Not a huge issue, but it would have been nice to know kid-friendly options were available. Unfortunately, service timing became more of a problem toward the end of the meal. After we had mostly finished eating, our server asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu. We said yes, and I gently reminded her we were celebrating a birthday. When she returned, she brought a complimentary birthday dessert with a candle (very thoughtful gesture!) but our dinner plates, empty glasses, and general table clutter were still in front of us. We also still hadn't seen the dessert menu we'd asked for, which made the moment feel rushed and a bit awkward. Needless to say, our server seemed to catch on that I was disappointed in the service towards the end of our meal. It seemed like she was the only server on the floor, too, which probably explained the lack of attentiveness and timing issues. Overall, the food was alright and everyone enjoyed their meals. It was an okay dining experience but the service could definitely use some improvement. For a restaurant with higher menu prices and a more upscale presentation (linen napkins, cozy ambiance, etc.), the level of service didn't quite match my expectations. I would still return as it could've just been an "off" night and their martinis were great! read more

On January 4, 2026, around 7:00 PM, my family and I walked to Morrison excited to enjoy a nice dinner in the snow during our first visit to Mammoth Lakes. Everything seemed fine at first, but the experience quickly went downhill once our waitress came to take our drink order. Everyone at the table ordered water. When it was my turn to order my drink, the waitress walked away mid-order. I brushed it off, thinking it might have been a misunderstanding. When she returned to take our food order, my family ordered first and politely asked for a few ingredients to be removed. Her tone sounded annoyed when asking if they wanted anything else. When it came to me, I kindly asked for a non-alcoholic drink. She immediately asked for my ID, which felt unnecessary given that it was a non-alcoholic beverage. As I turned to my husband to grab my wallet, she stepped very close into my personal space and aggressively asked again for my ID, with a clear attitude. The interaction made me extremely uncomfortable and upset, and it also made my family uncomfortable. Due to the unprofessional behavior and unpleasant experience, we decided to leave. We did inform the front host of what happened. This was disappointing, especially since we were looking forward to a nice family dinner during our first time in Mammoth. Unfortunately, the service we received did not reflect the welcoming experience we were hoping for. read more

Their Branzino is delicious! Also our server Ali is the best and took great care of us.

We were staying at Convict Lake Resort and were hoping to eat at the CL Restaurant but it was closed for the past 2 weeks. I found out they have a sister-restaurant so I figured if it were anything like the CL Restaurant, it would be demand Morrison's did not disappoint. We made reservations and were lucky as it appears they only take a couple tables a night. There appears to be one waiter serving all the tables, however, he did a good job. Food was good and the Maple Old Fashioned was made just right. 5 stars read more

We made Friday reservations on a shoulder season night. Seated immediately and had attentive, charming service throughout. We shared each course--very good wedge salad, tomato basil soup was outstanding. We ordered elk chops which were very good with a yummy sauce. The side veggies and potatoes were excellent. To me, that's a sign of a really good restaurant . Fresh veggies prepared perfectly! Not to mention delicious old fashioned made to my liking and some very good, reasonably priced wine. Too full to try dessert. We will definitely be back!! read more

It was our first time dining at Morrison's in Mammoth Lakes. We dined on March 1st with a dinner reservation. At first glance Morrison's reminded me of a ski town chalet type restaurant. Lots of wood and super cozy. When we arrived, there were only 2 tables seated in the entire restaurant. Yet, they chose to sit us in the back by the restrooms and an open door to the kitchen. First, what restaurant these days sit patrons by a restroom and a kitchen unless it is an open concept kitchen where you can watch the chefs prepare meals, etc.? There was nothing dividing the dining tables from the doors to the restrooms or kitchen. We were one table away staring directly at the bathroom doors. I felt terrible for the two people immediately sat after us next to the restrooms. I could see the disappointment in their face. We decided not to make a fuss as our waitress, Gabby, immediately greeted us and she was very pleasant, had a big smile and seamed very friendly. We sat down and ordered two dirty martinis, blue cheese olives, very cold. When they arrived, they were just as asked, very cold, delicious. However, when we received the bill, we noticed we were charged $2 for the olives? What? First who charges extra for olives? At least tell us we would be charged $2 for olives. We ordered the wedge salad which the kindly split for us. The blue cheese dressing was good and not overpowering. I ordered the beef stroganoff as Gabby said the pasta is made in house. It was good. The stroganoff sauce was also good but a little under salted. My husband ordered the special. Rack of lamb. He is very particular about lamb and only orders it occasionally but since it was their special, he was excited. Unfortunately it was not a good choice. Very underwhelming. It just didn't taste good. I will say we thought our server Gabby was wonderful although she could have warned us about the extra charge for the olives. Unfortunately we will not be returning to Morrison's. read more

Alonso was a friendly informed host and waiter. We were at Morrison's for our Anniversary. His food and cocktail suggestions were great and his s idea to add roasted to our order was the perfect idea. He is the person you can trust. Our dessert of homemade ice cream was delicious read more

Excellent Restaurant!! We had a top notch service from Alonso our server, very friendly and attentive. We ordered the beet and goat cheese salad which was amazing. Food came out quick even though they had a full house. I highly recommended the dirty martinis with blue cheese olives. One of the best restaurants in town, we will definitely be coming back! read more

Very bizarre experience and sadly its one of the few restaurants in Mammoth so I would suggest to avoid but that would be difficult considering the limited options in town. Not an excuse to overcharge your customers and serve them mediocre food, do better! The service was super rushed since they let us make a reservation right before closing. Extra charges for splitting plates and birthday desserts which fine, but why not communicate this to your patrons upon offering it? Poor practices, I would definitely not be coming back. read more

Average steak house. Been here a few times. Drinks and food are average. Wouldn't recommend for someone looking for a new steak house experience. read more

This place used to be decent but it's gone severely down hill recently. My son had the stroganoff and it was absolutely bland and tasteless and the meat was over cooked. I had a soup of the day that was supposed to be potato based and it was just a big bowl of look warm cream with barely any seasoning. Do yourself a favor at eat elsewhere if you're looking for a nice dinner out. read more

From start to finish, an excellent, first visit experience. We were greeted by numerous friendly staff members when we arrived. Our server Mike was warm and welcoming. He gave us great menu recs and everything we tried was delicious. We enjoyed the blackened shrimp app,; split the wedge salad and each splurged and ordered the home made pastas. The beef stroganoff was perfect and delish, as was the amazing lemon chicken picatta. Drinks were on point and the home made pistachio ice cream was really good too. We will def recommend Morrisons to our friends and out of town guests, and we'll for sure, be back in the future. Kudos to the chef, bartender and staff! read more

No one seemed that excited for us about heading here, people at hotel said it was fine (no one raved about it). I actually thought it was great, and good value for a ski town. the warm bread and butter gave me confidence this place would deliver, and I just had to keep my kids from eating baskets of it, so they would actually eat the entrees. ribeye, lamb and cajun chicken pasta were all good to great. dont skip dessert!!!! read more

Really great experience and food. Our server was terrific. It's small, hole in the wall but nice. Homemade pastas are legit. read more

Staff is friendly and atmosphere is cozy. We sat by the fireplace which was nice. The food was just okay. Most items needed more flavor like the stroganoff and birra sandwich. The Cesar salad had way too much garlic in the dressing. Don't recommend that. The French onion soup was the one item we really all liked. Overall the prices are expensive so the food needs more flavor. We thought it was pretty bland. The service was great which is a nice plus. But maybe ask about certain items to order. read more

We come to Morrisons every time we visit Mammoth and it never disappoints. Great food and amazing service provided by Alonzo who made sure everything was perfect! read more

Really good food in a rustic setting! I came here as a solo traveller staying in one of the nearby motels and was I impressed. But not because everything was hoity-toity, I was more impressed because everything was how I hoped it would be in a outdoor recreation town. I was initially put off by the white tablecloths in the other Yelp photos (white table clothes don't normally equate to rustic for me) but mexperience at Morrison's really won me over. I sat at a hightop in the bar, and Eric the bartender was my server. He was busy but took the time to be sure I was well served. I could blather on about how all of Morrison's pasta is made fresh in house and how good my meal and service was, but I'll spare you. Just go and check it out for yourself! Oh, FYI, I looked at OpenTable before walking over and OpenTable was showing no availability (Wednesday night). I went anyway hoping to sit in the bar since I was solo and they were only half-full. Not sure what's going on there but you might call and inquire about availability just to double-check if you don't see availability on OpenTable. read more

I had heard so many great things about Morrison's. Upon arrival, i was impressed. Small dining area, quaint and inviting. With respectable bar seating. Service was friendly. But what I came for was the food. And? Well, the presentation was good, but the flavor was very mediocre. I started with the oysters rockefeller, and? I wasn't impressed. Flavor was on the bland side, lacked that rich baked cheezy smack you expect with this classic appetizer. So i moved on to the stroganoff. When it arrived, the presentation was great. But, again, the flavor was lacking. All the main ingredients were there, but it lacked in terms of seasoning, preparation, and ultimately flavor. Disappointing for a meal at this price point. read more

What a weird experience. Made a reservation for 8:15 through OpenTable just as they suggest in the voicemail (bc they never answered when I called ahead) only to realize they close at 8:30. When we were seated, at 8:25, the only other table in the restaurant was paying and leaving. I had booked this as a birthday dinner for two of our friend group, and hoped for a nice classy service. The food was fine, overpriced and fairly bland all around but I chalked that up to it being a resort town and had expected as much. Our waitress was nice and friendly but by the time our meals came the vibe shifted and it became quickly clear that they wanted to close up. The music was turned off and staff began cleaning and turning off lights in areas of the restaurant around us. I would never have made a reservation at that time if it had come with the disclaimer that we would be rushed out. At the end, they brought out brownies and ice cream with candles without us asking which I took to be a sign of great service, until I realized we were billed for them on the check without ordering them. Then once the check came, the manager asked us to pay quickly and sign so the waitress could close out. Because of this I was rushed and did not get a chance to review the bill, missing the added dessert and the 20% mandatory fee, and then still tipped another 18% because I was rushing. I'd stay away, just overpriced highway robbery. Much better options and service around town, my mistake for trying something new. read more

Mammoth yelp ratings are confusing for me. There seems to be a wide selection of restaurants with solid ratings, but most underwhelm. Based on its website and menu, I was expecting a basic traditional meal, but it was really worse than that. The king salmon's supposed miso glaze had a sweet, tangy, citrusy flavor to it that was gooey and did not complement the fish well. The basmati rice that came with it was cold and hard. Seasonal vegetables were uninspired steamed vegetables. Daughter's mac and cheese night literally have been Kraft macaroni and cheese out of the box. Stroganoff pasta sounded intriguing, as I'm a typically a fan of this dish, but it was just a cream pasta with chunks of beef. I had hope that the shrimp scampi could be executed well, but it just tasted like oil and shrimp pasta although you would expect this dish to be pretty fragrant with the abundance of seafood, oil, and garlic flavors. If you like "home cooking" i.e. amateur quality, then this may meet your expectations. There was a slight challenge upon checking in for my reservation, but I won't even delve into that. The food was really lackluster for me. read more

This place is great. We had the hamachi tostada as an appetizer and it was delicious. We loved the rosemary sourdough that they offered when we sat down. I had the barramundi which was delicious. And my wife enjoyed the elk chop and enjoyed it. I enjoyed the Vino Robles red blend. And the chocolate banana bread pudding was excellent. Service was great. We will be back. read more

Go for the homemade pasta The pistachio pesto pasta is absolutely delightful. If you're more of a meat lover, their ribeye is soft like butter. read more

First of all, the manager was high on the job, he was nice but you could tell something was off. I ordered a caesar salad with chicken and it was okay and I also had some of the chicken parmesan and it was okay as well just watered down. It took them an hour to bring the caesar salads and they brought them last after everyone already had their meals. Also, the menu was pretty limited and it was very overpriced for the quality of the food. read more

Never again! I loved this place but not anymore. I have had 3 encounters with an awful, mean, rude, unreasonable lady by the name of Eirca. I have no clue why they would hire such a person, she must of conned them good! Not only was she completely rude to our table but unreasonably rude to the staff which made us extremely uncomfortable. We will not be coming back and will never recommend, and we recommend a lot, so sad. This person will ruin your restaurant, be aware! See you never! read more

Food (rib-eye, Filet Mignon,, beef stroganoff, shrimp scampi) and the service, cocktails, and deserts were all excellent! What a find, I can't believe I never knew this was here after all the times I've been to Mammoth. Will definitely come each time we return to Mammoth now. read more

After a lousy experience in 2024, I'm happy to report that our dinner (2 of us on a Saturday nt at 6pm) was wonderful. Not too crowded yet but filled in by 7pm. Quite expensive even for mammoth but the service was excellent (Erica) and the food back to the quality we have been used to since they opened in 2017 (or so). As always we started with an excellent old fashion and the Hamachi/Tuna app (now called a tower instead of the "Hamachi torts" of past). It is much bigger now--lots for 2 or more to share and of course the price has followed the increase in size. Mostly tuna now instead of Hamachi but fresh, and tasty. Finally, Woo Hoo, the lamb shank was back on the menu and we each got our own--very tender, flavorful, meaty--we could have shared one but enjoyed the feast. Topped the meal with apple streusel with ice cream--plenty for 2+. Our driver was delayed so we had to cap the night with whiskey sours--excellent. Overall a great meal and evening, we will be back. read more

Always a good meal!! This experience was no exception. Came in after a great day on the mountain craving steak.. The carne asada and squid did not disappoint. Thank you for a great meal Morrison's read more

I believe this is one of the fancier establishments in town? I wasn't blown away and pricing is definitely steep for what you're getting. You'll definitely need a reservation. Almost everyone had a reservation. There's a parking lot in the front and in the back. You do have to dress a bit nicer to dine here. Our table ordered the salmon, wagyu special, and beef stroganoff. The beef stroganoff was so salty but I didn't have the heart to send it back. I just chalked it up to more electrolytes for tomorrows runs. My sister hated the salmon. She said the sear was nonexistent and the fish itself wasn't impressive. When they brought boxes for us, she forgot to pack it since it sucked so bad. I didn't want my strings off either. Our other buddy eats everything so can't really say they're picky or would give an accurate review of the wagyu lol. The homemade rocky road ice cream was good. Overall, I think the ambiance is what you're paying for. I definitely was not impressed and won't be coming back. For me, it was a one and done. For West LA prices and meh food I'll pass. Also, I will say I can understand establishments get busy and take out orders will exert servers. But implementing a 15% gratuity on take-out is peculiar. If the clientele isn't tipping, that's another issue to tackle as far as making tip mandatory. Sugarfish does a mandatory 18% but does not accept additional tips. Other places like Jon and Vinny's in LA take a 18% to sustain employment and expect you to tip. So I think reading the room is important. It might rub most/some people the wrong way. read more

This place may be my new favorite spot in Mammoth! It' was so cozy and welcoming. We came in on Saturday night without a reservation and luckily found two seats at the bar. (I recommend making a reservation) From start to finish the service was amazing between the bartender and the manager. We started off with the carpaccio. So yummy!! Then my husband and I decided to split the Filet and lobster Mac and cheese. The steak was fabulous and cooked to a perfect med rare. The lobster Mac was a good consistency and had a good amount of lobster in it. My husband also enjoyed his margaritas. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

A local friend of mine recommended this spot for the food/happy hour. A long haired guy at the front greeted us and was very polite. He told us that happy hour was only at the bar so we sat there. That's when the vibes changed.... The bartender(heavy set older lady) was snobby and arrogant. We had to dig for information about happy hour and she was very short with us. The food genuinely looked good too but because of her attitude, we decided to leave. I've worked in this industry for years so when I say that this is my first yelp review... it should mean something. I understand that we all have bad days but don't project that energy onto your customers. Do better. read more

Food and service was good. We were turned off by the $35.00 corkage fee. We brought some very special we wanted to share with our party. Nothing that was on their wine list. We ended up only opening up one bottle. We didn't order dessert. Opened up the other bottle at our hotel and had dessert there. read more

the food was not good, very slow service, it took them an hour to bring a caesar salad.

Our server Mike gave us the most unprofessional and rude service I've ever experienced. He wasn't pleased with our gratuity and said to my family and I, "Don't come back!" As we were walking out, he gave the most disrespectful attitude to my mother making shooing gestures for us to get out quickly. Uneducated and disrespectful people like Mike fall short for a place that offers high quality food and a good ambience! read more

Made a last minute reservation for dinner on Sunday night. They said we could come in at 7:45pm. When I looked on Yelp and google, I was surprised they were okay with this time since it closes at 8pm. We ordered the starter: blacken shrimp with guacamole. The guacamole was very fresh and it also came with a few chips. The shrimp was good but I felt it was a bit too salty for my preference. When you pair it with the guacamole it isn't as salty. The waitress also brought out complimentary bread to start. For the entrees, we ordered the carne asada and stroganoff. The carne asada came with chive mashed potatoes and veggies. The meat was tender and flavorful. The chive mashed potatoes threw us off a little bit because it was green but the taste was great. The stroganoff was made of short rib with mushrooms, onions and broccoli. The sauce in this was so good, I asked for more bread to dip into it. The meat was tender and everything flowed nicely. I did wish there was more pasta with the dish for the amount of sauce in the plate. Lastly for dessert, we ordered the homemade blueberry ice cream with white chocolate chips as recommended by our waitress. Initially I wasn't sure how I would feel about this ice cream because I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate chip. But, my goodness 10/10 would definitely recommend this ice cream. It was so good, fresh and hit the spot. Thank you so much for a great experience! read more

Every time I travel to a ski town I am always pleasantly surprised by how great the food is in these little mountain towns. Jackson hole, amazing. Big Sky amazing, Tahoe Amazing. But for some reason Mammoth continues time and time again to disappoint. With decent reviews I went to Morrisons with high hopes, only to be let down worse than Biden did student loan debters. The portions are small and the food was flavorless. I ordered the elk steak, rack of lamb and sea bass, nothing was good. The elk steak looked like it was rations for avalanche survivors with how small the 51 dollar mean was. All in all mammoth food is awful. I recommend grocery shopping and cooking yourself so you don't spend $300+ on a meal and get disappointed. read more
