    This place is a real treat. If you're an adventures eater I definitely recommend this place. This place is so nice, like your in a fancy relatives dining room. Service is above and beyond. Menus had our last name on it. Such a fun touch. Everything was absolutely delicious and it was so fun trying new dishes with flavors I didn't know id enjoy. The bread was so flavorful. The lobster cracker was delicious That olive poached halibut was the most incredible texture and tasted u like anything I've ever had before. The had a pine dark chocolate dessert that tasted like a chocolate covered Christmas tress which sounds weird but was so good. I'll definitely come back. I'm not sure how frequently the change menus.

    We had an excellent dining experience here from start to finish. The duck breast was cooked perfectly tender and juiiicccyyy . Every bite was seasoned beautifully and clearly prepared with care. The cocktails were crazy creative and well-crafted without being overly sweet or heavy. 10/10 pure pallet beauty after seeing the breath taking views of Yosemite. Typical fine-dining service :)) so good it made me double my tip.

    My man made a reservation to celebrate my birthday during our romantic getaway. This charming restaurant complemented the Chateau where we stayed. Elegant and classy, but warm and welcoming. We each had the Five-Course Meal with a Wine Pairing: Smoked Steelhead Trout -with cauliflower, trout roe, dill Braised Beet Root -with cabbage, hazelnut, black garlic yogurt Olive Oil Poached Halibut -cannellini bean, summer squash, tomatillo Beef Tenderloin -maitake mushroom, caramelized onion, parsnip Paris-Brest -with apple, bourbon, maple-pecan mousseline While the meal is described as "five courses," it included three additional dishes. We were treated to a delightful amuse-bouche of lobster, creatively presented on a charcuterie board, made from a redwood bark that they cut up and coated with epoxy. Another brilliant addition was pumpkin bread topped with shaved almonds and pistachios. To finish our meal, we enjoyed a plate of macarons and dark chocolates. We were not fans of the dark chocolates since they tasted like mud, but we appreciated the thoughtfulness of this final touch. The wine pairings were excellent! The sommelier did an outstanding job complementing the wines to each dish. While I don't remember the selections and wasn't able to take pictures of some, our favorite was the red wine, the Ornellaia 2020. From top-notch service to imaginative presentation to inventive flavors, dinner at The Elderberry House was a delightful experience for the senses!

    My fiancée and I shared a meal that felt less like dinner and more like a love letter to us on the night before our wedding. Each plate told a story, one of bold flavors, unexpected favorites, and the kind of elegance that lingers. We began with raw oysters and aguachile, a briny, fiery welcome that set the tone. Then came a savory custard with salmon roe and tarts filled with raw salmon; creamy, rich, and delicate in all the right ways. The Hamachi crudo, dressed in leche de tigre and crowned with radish, may have been the dish of the night. Bright, confident, and flawless. This was my now wife's favorite. A butternut squash brioche with herb butter followed. Comforting, really good, though slightly overshadowed by what had come before. Then came a true surprise: a salad. Yes, a salad. With sugar snap peas, fava bean pesto, prosciutto, and parmesan. For someone who doesn't do greens, this dish earned really high praise from me. The halibut arrived seared to perfection, swimming in a pine bud nage that tasted like springtime. This was my favorite. Then came the knockout: ribeye with morels, ramps, and potato espuma. A dish that could've ended the evening right there. Everything together was as perfect a bite as I could have imagined for the evening. But dessert had the final word. A strawberry-rhubarb curd cookie with sesame ice cream, the perfect balance between sweet and tart, soft and crisp. Last, a white miso chocolate tart with berries transformed into a sort of soft, tangy candy. Each course was a chapter. The wine was perfect for my fiancée. The service was perfect. And like the day that followed, the whole story felt a little surreal, and absolutely unforgettable.

    Never knew this amazing place of real fine dining existed in Fresno! Located in Oakhurst, it is an exclusive French restaurant set in the beautiful mountain side. They even have their menus personalized to greet the guests. The food is served in interesting platters and in small portions. But is filling, tasty, elegant and a feast for the eyes. Wine pairing is available. This is one restaurant where the chef took extra interest to create a vegetarian five course meal for me. Far cry from other fancy restaurants like this including 71Above in Los Angeles which failed miserably when it came to vegetarian options. Good parking in this chateau tucked away in the mountain. Reservation is required and can be made on open table or by calling the restaurant.

    To celebrate a birthday, we decided to splurge and go to this restaurant. The grounds and restaurant are absolutely gorgeous, very well kept and maintained. The interior of the restaurant is flawlessly appointed and very gracious. The staff at the restaurant was very professional, very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and very interested in assuring we enjoyed our experience. Note, please, that I said "experience", and not "dinner". A meal here is not just "dinner". It's a culinary experience, and a fantastic experience that. We chose the five course meal. The food was perfectly prepared, perfectly presented and perfectly served, one amazing course at a time. The food is well thought out, and the portions perfect to provide a meal over the leisurely pace. And there is no hurry. One needs time to appreciate each course. Our experience took something over two hours, and it was fantastic. In addition to the amazing food, we chose a couple of unique, specially prepared cocktails, and a truly wonderful Malbec. We cannot recommend this place enough, but be aware: again, this is not where you go for a quick dinner. The price of the experience is not for the faint of heart, but it is worth every cent. We've included pictures of each course.

    Erna's Elderberry House, Oakhurst: 2024 Jun 27 (4 of 5) Since our move to this part of the woods, we've visited this place a good number of times. We always bring guests from the Bay Area because of their unique concept to this area and the great ambience. Our recent guests are from the San Francisco Bay Area and are well-seasoned diners and travelers so their expectations were high. Unfortunately, our pride for this establishment was diminished when we dined there recently. Overall, the staff came off as a bit obsequious and unauthentic. As for the food courses, there was a 'sameness' to each course. Several dishes were overly salted. Though most of the dish presentations were beautiful, some were presented on what looked like a petri dish - which reminded us of our science project at school. The courses with foam seem a bit passé. We're not falling back to the 90's. I want to boast to everyone about this opulent establishment, but I can honestly say I'm rather disappointed and can only garner a high 3 (although I'm honoring it with a 4). On top of that, there was a 22% service charge added to our bill, plus the long delay from one dish to the next was excruciating painful to bear. Because of our recent experience, even their Laguiole flatware and extra treats failed to impress.

    I can't stop recommending this place to my friends! I made the reservation and stated it is for hubby's birthday, and they customized the menu with his name on top wishing him a happy birthday. When we arrived, they sat us down by the fireplace. It was so perfect and romantic. We chose the 3-course set, but they provided an appetizer from the culinary team before the first course, and a homemade bread in between the first and second course. The bread was a little crispy outside and fluffy inside. I couldn't stop eating. Every course was just flavorful and creative. They claim their style is French-Californian, but I suspect that they add a little Japanese style in their cuisine as well. Just subtle and beautiful. I especially like their warm hospitality. They surprised us with two chocolate tarts and a candle to celebrate hubby's birthday. We feel welcomed and cared for. We will definitely come back. It was a very special and memorable experience.

    If I could give this place a thousands gold stars I would. This is the only high end restaurant I believe in Oakhurst. Iykyk. Every single bite was incredibly decadent and flavorful, nothing disappointed. I came here to celebrate my birthday after Yosemite and this was the perfect dinner to finish the night. Even the butter on the bread tasted like heaven. Expect a country side french vibe with a comfy air l. The service was amazing but keep in mind being a more high end establishment they already added in tip to your receipt. I didn't add anymore as it would've been over 50% in tip... (tip culture is insane). ! Overall the view, vibes and food were amazing.

    We love this restaurant! I set up a surprise evening of dining and stay at the Chateau Sureau their luxury resort for my Wife and I for our anniversary. We cannot say enough about Rani (The Manager of this amazing destination) and her staff. The food was stellar! And the hotel was so quaint and refined. The perfect quiet escape from our busy lives. Both properties are a must for any refined travelers.

They have limited hours so make sure you plan for it, and they also host events throughout the week which means live music isn't always available. The ordering process is straightforward - you place your order at the front inside and then pick it up with a buzzer outside, which works perfectly for enjoying the outdoor setting. 5/5 Tomato Soup with Half Grilled Cheese was so hearty and exactly what you need after a long drive or before heading into the mountains. The soup was the best I have had in a while, with rich tomato flavor that was perfectly seasoned and had just the right consistency. The grilled cheese was nothing too special on its own, but it paired so well with the soup, especially to warm you up in the cold. The combination is classic comfort food executed beautifully, and you really can't go wrong with this order. The Grove House is absolutely worth planning your Yosemite trip around! It's the perfect stop to fuel up before heading into the park or to unwind after a day of hiking. The combination of good food, welcoming atmosphere, and that small-town charm makes it a must-visit when you're in Mariposa. I would definitely recommend trying this place out - it seems like one of the best restaurants in the area on the way to Yosemite. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and hoping to catch one of their live music nights!
