We ordered the braised lamb shank, grizzly burger with tillamook cheese and bacon, and the creme brulee for dessert. The grizzly burger was our favorite and we were too excited to try that I didn't catch a picture. Everything about this burger was perfect- the brioche bun was lightly toasted, garlic aioli not crazy strong but just the right impact, and really loved the added combination of the tillamook white cheddar and bacon. Yummm. Also the fries it comes with are perfect level of crisp. The braised lamb shank was also amazing. Cooked in a red wine reduction and sat on top of potatoes. Super tender and flavorful and a huge portion. For dessert we got creme brulee! The creme has a nice decadent sweetness. The broiled sugar was a little thicker than I'm used to but still very delicious. I recommend everything! But especially the burger, wish I could eat it again! Till next time!

Huge shoutout to our bartender, Ginger, who was an absolute sweetheart and went above and beyond to give us a wonderful experience. The Lube Room is now a mandatory stop for us whenever we travel through Ebbetts Pass or vacation in the area!

Whereas sitting at the bar without a reservation is the way to go if you like to order from the smaller bar menu and still have the flexibility to order from the full menu.

What an incredible first visit to Taste in Plymouth!…read more The restaurant itself is cozy, beautiful, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our server, Bessie, was absolutely amazing, kind, funny, and so helpful in answering all of our questions during our first visit. Now, onto the food! The appetizers alone could have been a meal. The Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had, and as a girlie who doesn't usually love soup, I have to say the corn soup my husband ordered was delicious bursting with flavor and perfectly creamy. My husband chose the burger with truffle fries, and they absolutely nailed it. The bacon jam, arugula, goat cheese aioli... every bite was incredible, and the fries were amazing. I had the steak with scalloped potatoes and carrots, and as someone who typically likes her meat well done, I can honestly say this steak was excellent. Dessert was mouthwatering and packed with flavor. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of food and exceptional service we received. We visited on Saturday, the day before Father's Day and two days before my birthday. Not only did they personalize my dessert with a birthday message, but they also surprised me with a birthday card signed by the team. Then, just five days later, a handwritten thank-you card and birthday wishes arrived at my home. That is the kind of service that leaves a lasting impression. Thank you, Taste, for such a memorable first experience. We will absolutely be back!

The outside is a nice atmosphere but the flys were pretty annoying landing on myself or on the table. They do have these fans to deter the flys but they only help so much. We were welcome by a waitress who brought us to a table. I ordered a "WELL DONE" Angus burger but was brought a MEDIUM RARE, so I was pretty disappointed by that. What chef doesn't know how to prepare WELL DONE BURGER! The only good thing that I enjoyed was the taste of the beef despite having blood dripping out of my buns. This restaurant has so many inconsistencies that I didn't know who my waiter was. Mind you they were not that busy yet the didn't have the decency to come out of the restaurant to ask us "how are food was going" or if we needed our water cups to be refilled! Our food took almost an hour to get it out of the kitchen!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO WATCH "HELLS KITCHEN" TO LEARN HOW TO RUN A GOOD SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANT! WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL!

The Mono Inn is truly a hidden gem, offering an unforgettable evening of fine dining in a beautiful setting overlooking Mono Lake. We enjoyed the five-course tasting menu, which included a beautifully prepared squab dish, along with an upgraded A5 Wagyu course that was absolutely outstanding. Each course was thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and showcased an impressive level of culinary creativity and attention to detail. The combination of exceptional food, a unique atmosphere, and the restaurant's rich history made the evening even more special. This is destination dining at its finest and an experience that rivals some of the best fine-dining restaurants we've visited. If you're anywhere near Lee Vining or Mammoth Lakes, the Mono Inn is absolutely worth the visit. Five stars and highly recommended!
