THE BEST BIRTHDAY DINNER!!! Service, Vibes, Food, Drinks, Emotion, LOVE...everything in one lol A special shoutout to Christian and Jordan! They were both super knowledgeable and made us feel extremely welcome. They even had a special printed menu for our table with a birthday message that made it that more special. They truly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this place to everyone and I will be back any chance I get. One last thing....the Oyster with a fennel, apple, vinegar idk what changed my life. I am an oyster fan now, but just these lol TYSM! read more

I have been lucky enough to enjoy quite a few fancy, Michelin-starred meals over the years, but it is rare to find an experience that you just know you will be savoring for years to come. 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! read more

A must stop when in the area. The food and service were superb. Abby waited on us and she was a delight and very knowledgeable. Definitely would come here more if I lived closer. read more

Tried this place on a Friday night. It is best if you get there early like we did if you want a table. Very small cellar area. It only has 3 two person and 1 four person table with about ten seats at the bar. We were the second couple to get a seat around 5:20 but it sure did fill up quickly afterwards. My wife ordered the butternut squash soup which was Stupendous. It came with this thinly sliced bread with a little crunch with it. Both were amazing. The second part was we shared a Philly cheese steak sandwich. It was really good except for it was a little salty. It comes with fries too. The bar tender was very friendly and professional. We did not have any drinks but it sure looked like he knows how to mix some amazing things. Overall I would give this place a 4.25 stars due to the salty sandwich. Sure glad we did try this place. I would highly recommend this place read more

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. read more

The meal was very good, however exceptionally overpriced. To add insult to injury, we went to the bar for a nightcap at 9:10 and the bartender told us that he could only serve wine, not a Woodford on the rocks. This added to my total dissatisfaction with this establishment! read more

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! read more

The previous time we went and had a pre-fixe dinner it was great. This time, 2 years later, we stopped by at their bar for some bites. The chairs are horrifically uncomfortable to sit on, the food took a long time to come out, and they only had 4 options for food. We got 3 dishes: 1. lobster spaghetti - giant pile of plain spaghetti, unsalted, with some tough as a shoe lobster drenched in what seemed like mushroom gravy. Very overpriced and barely edible. $52 2. Philly cheesesteak - mediocre, not enough fillings for a large piece of bread. Felt empty, like chewing on a loaf. Fries were ok. 3. Catch of the day was -- scallops (really?) - literally 3 small scallops, one carrot, and some sauce for 42$. Overall I would say its detestable to treat your customers this way. Not sure if they are under new management or something, but we definitely felt taken advantage of and ripped off. We would have sent it all back but it took so long to get the food and the only other thing left to get was a burger. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food was great. Atmosphere beautiful and service impeccable. Definitely with the visit.

I will start with one significant negative, as I don't think there's much more than that to criticize. Here it is: the menu is the same every night at least for a season. We are staying for three nights at the Château and I would not plan to eat here three nights in a row or even two nights in a row. Another potential negative is the cost. If it bothers you to break the $500 mark for your dinner with accompanying wine selections, you will be upset. Those things aside, the service was magnificent. Oddly, we were the only table in the entire restaurant on a Wednesday night in September. We got incredible attention, and the service was extremely pleasant and accommodating. The ambiance was nice except for the place being empty. The room is beautiful. Now to the food: the ahi tuna Crudo was terrific. We also really like the seared scallops and the accompanying shiitake mushroom (just one) and even the turnips. The dessert was a pickled plum BAVAROIS. Never had one of those before. I prefer my plums unpickled, but nevertheless, it was also quite good, especially the goat milk and sorrel base. The wine pairings were also decent. My favorite was the Austrian Riesling that provided a nice sweetness to accompany the mild spice in the Aji tuna Crudo. We had a white wine from château Musar from Lebanon that went reasonably well with the scallops, but I didn't think it was outstanding. My wife is a big fan of dessert wines, and she really liked the. moscato. All in all, it's a good restaurant and one suitable for a special occasion. Tax plus automatic 22% tip are added to the cost of the meal. 4.5 stars rounded up to five. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Well, it breaks my heart to have to write this review since I have been coming here for over 10 years every year for my birthday ... but those days are over. I'm gluten-free but have a few other allergies which they have always taken great care to provide me food I can eat. They obviously have my list of allergies and as mentioned have always accommodated them until this year. They said sorry we can accommodate gluten-free but none of your other allergies. I said, but you always have in the past well sorry we can't do it anymore. There goes my business. They've lost it for good.! Apparently they've had new owners and the chef is not nearly as accommodating as the previous one . If you have no allergies, great if you do have allergies don't bother.... They don't even try. read more

We have been going to the Elderberry House for 10+ years. The ambiance is magnificent and the service could not be better, however the food quality is now disappointing. The starter was fair at best, the entree offered only two choices--fish or steak, and the desert was nothing special. I do hope the food choices and food quality will return like it was when Erna was acting manager. I would give the food quality a 2,5. Also, I do not like the 22% tip added to my bill--I think I would have tipped that much any way--I just do not like to be told how much I should give read more

This was a culinary journey. No other way to describe it. Absolutely phenominal. The service was outstanding as well! Christian took amazing care of us, and the bartender provided the most amazing drinks custom to us, and was so knowledgeable on craft cocktails. They took amazing pride in taking care of us, which went such a long way. Thanks for making my girlfriend's birthday perfect! read more

Had reservations for 8/26 for an engagement dinner (which I put in the reservation notes). They cancelled on me 5 hours before the reservation time, day of, due to technical difficulties with their fridge, which I can understand. The issue is they made 0 effort to contact me, no call or text, just an automated email from OpenTable. I expect more from an establishment that charges $150+ per person with 22% required gratuity. read more

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.

There is not enough stars for this review. My daughter had gotten married that morning at Yosemite, so we wanted a nice dinner to celebrate. The multiple courses of sublime flavors, a few of us got the wine pairing (NB, not for the drivers) which was expertly presented and served. Service was impeccable. I don't even have enough superlatives for this review. A splurge, yes, but worth every delicious morsel. read more

Cozy but elegant restaurant, staff was welcoming and attentive. Food was good, favorite bites were the tomato amuse bouche and the sauce from the halibut dish. Cocktails were solid and the corn dessert was just the right amount of sweetness. Overall definitely worth trying. read more

Exquisite, exquisite, exquisite! Do not miss this spot if you're looking for fine dining near Yosemite National Park. We booked a table on a whim and did not regret it one bit. The atmosphere is rather romantic with historical charm while the food is modern and light. Their attention to detail was superb. We opted for the 3-course meal, with one of us getting the wine pairing. I ordered the "All I want is Yuzu" cocktail; it was so good that I ended up ordering another. I also selected the lamb as my entree. It was incredibly tender and juicy, I probably wouldn't have been able to tell it was lamb if I was blindfolded. Our only, not concern, but surprise was the pumpkin panna cotta. Being from the east coast, it was rather autumnal for it being May and 75 degrees here in California. Regardless, it was still delicious. If I could go back and have a second dinner tonight, I would in a heart beat. Next time I'm back in the area, I will definitely have dinner here again. read more

Absolutely stunning food. My wife and I went here a couple years ago for our anniversary. The setting is very intimate, and the food is absolutely wonderful.

Absolutely fantastic and elegance at its finest. In the most unsuspecting place, nestled into a corner outside of Yosemite is this gem of a restaurant. I will admit, I was skeptical. An expensive restaurant serving seemingly French food and wine? In Yosemite? But I am extremely glad I came. I chose the 4 courses, because if you're going to do it may as well do it right. The three courses comes with a starter, entree, and dessert, no appetizer. I did overhear that you can sub out the dessert for an appetizer, for an extra 10 dollar charge. The do offer an amuse-bouche and a complimentary after dinner bitem both of which delicious and such an elegant move. The soup of the day was absolutely a burst of flavor in my mouth, all distinct flavors melding together to create the best soup I've ever had. It even had a great crunch and texture from the pine nuts. The appetizer of a seared ahi tuna was unlike anything I've had before. I am a sushi/sashimi aficionado, and I've never had a seared ahi tuna like this one. The halibut. Omg the halibut. Crispy delicious exterior, perfectly cooked interior of flakiness, all married together with a subtle yet perfect sauce. Comes with 3 gnocchi pieces, topped with caviar. Might be the best bite I've ever had. Dessert wise, I got the sorbet cocktail trio. It was so refreshing and innovative. Instead of a heavy cocktail or an overly sweet sorbet, these three were an absolutely wonderful way to end the palate on a refreshing and crisp note. The service was impeccable. Extremely knowledgeable servers and hosts, Erika knew everything there was to know about the menu and wine list. My water glass was literally never empty. Impeccable. The menu changes a bit every once in a while, for seasonal rotations. Instead of being disappointed for something you were eyeing, I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised! The meal was definitely not on the cheap side. This place screams luxury, which is a much needed change from the surrounding yosemite area (American, quick and easy, intense hiking and only protein bars). The hotel is also available to book, again high price, but luxury. They do also have a spa. I was eyeing the Swedish massage for two. I imagine it would have been relaxed me into a Jello puddle. Give this place a try, but only if you're not looking for a quick bite or a 20oz steak. Fine dining here, at its best. read more

In the most unsuspecting of places, tucked in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the southern outskirts of Yosemite National Park, sits vine-covered Erna's Elderberry House, named after the elderberry bushes covering the surrounding grounds of the Château du Sureau estate. Recognised as a premier fine dining destination in the area, a night at this restaurant was added to our Thanksgiving, 2021 Shaver Lake family vacation for Friday, November 26. Ambiance: A. Upon arrival, we were immediately impressed by the elegant and fairy-tale setting of the restaurant. Shimmering with an Old World luxury typically found in Europe, the venue evokes lavish sophistication. The dining rooms are ornately regal, especially the private room, where our party of nine was seated. Food: B. The Elderberry House kitchen team presents inspiring dishes that are like works of art. French-Californian cuisine is featured in a three or four course set-price dinner menu. Presentation is thoughtful, refined, and exquisite. Unfortunately, though, eyes to mouth senses may disconnect due to lackluster flavour; the beautifully unique plates fail to deliver the same spectacular punch of ooph in taste. Piquancy can definitely be turned up a notch to match the caliber of the culinary artworks. Gourmands with high expectations may not be fully enchanted. Service: A+. Jesse H. was our server who delivered flawless service. He was extremely warm and accommodating, especially with ordering for shared meals...and seeing to it that my husband's skimpy vegetarian entrée was sufficient. In a nutshell, Erna's is a fine dining restaurant where guests are treated like royalty and served edible objets d'art that are pleasing to the eye, but may miss a mark or two on the taste test. read more

This was probably our top dining experience ever! The room transports you to a romantic, charming European setting. We sat next to a beautiful fireplace, and the mantle was adorned with holiday boughs and candles. Wow! We splurged on the caviar and perfectly prepared warm bellinis. So worth it. The chefs muse bouche was creative, delicious and astonishing, plated on a ponderosa pine bark, that had been coated with resin. What a delightful reminder, that we are surrounded by magnificent trees. Each course had a wine pairing, and everything was described in extraordinary detail, which added to the deliciousness of each bite. I can't tell you my favorite dish, because they were all amazing. Be sure to share with your dining partners. I also have to admit, we went to the happy hour in the bar the night before. The bar menu is completely different and we were also delighted with the delicious sea bass croquets and olive oil poached halibut. I also have to mention that the bartender was a true cocktail artisan and it was so fun to see him make our smoked bourbon drinks and the Grinch macha infused vodka. We live in San Diego and would easily drive the 7 hours just to experience this lovely restaurant again! Thank you chef and staff! read more

I've been to several fine dining restaurants, and The Elderberry House is definitely at the top of my list. Their food is amazing, especially the pastries. Surprisingly, my favorite part turned out to be the bread--I always ask if they're considering opening a bakery so I can buy some, haha. I love how they incorporate Japanese elements into their dishes, which really elevates the dining experience.

A truly unique and creative dining experience! Located in the sprawling Château du Sureau castle resort, this magical restaurant is a must visit. The restaurant is located at the front of the property just up the stairs from the parking lot. Parking was ample, close and without charge. The ambience was dimly lit, full of charm, elegant and chateau-like. The vibe was relaxed and enchanting. The restaurant menu was a three or four course tasting menu that was sourced from local farms. The menu was preset but since my daughter advised them of our vegetarian dietary restrictions when she made the reservations, they had a special menu waiting for us. The menu consisted of a very creative selection of bread, salad (aka weeds), Carrot Panna Cotta with a pea emulsion on top, pea tartlets, Couscous (main course) and Angel Food Cake with strawberry, goats milk ice cream, and meringue on top. The drink menu consisted of creative mixed drinks and local wines. My daughter had the Strawberry Green Tea Vodka Clarified Cocktail. Everything was vibrant in color, fresh, beautiful and artistically plated. Every item was wonderful in taste and texture. The flavors kept us guessing. The "tasting" portion sized were perfect for us. We savored the flavors of each item, one bite at a time and we were stuffed when it was all said and done. Service was unrivaled. Everyone was well-groomed, professionally dressed, welcoming, pleasant, attentive and helpful. Our server, Jesse H., was particularly exemplary! He was personable, charismatic and accommodating. He paid attention to detail remembering each one of my many item alterations (no dairy, nuts, etc.). Kudos also to the behind the scene chef(s) who created the menu and adjusted it to cater to our needs. When the bill came, it was presented in a little customized wooden treasure box with two adorably plated macarons. The bill included a service fee and an area for additional tip (hopefully specifically for the server) was available. Pricing was appropriate for this type of experience. Their attention to detail was unmatched! They even gave us two elderberry teabags to take home to enjoy. :) Thank you Jesse and the entire EH staff for an amazing experience! read more

The Elderberry House - French Near Me - Oakhurst, California

There is a parking lot right in front of the restaurant. Dinner reservation was at 7pm and had no trouble finding parking. Very elegant cottage feel to me when you first walk up. For COVID safety I requested a table in their garden patio but if you would like to dine indoors it is available as well. The garden was beautiful. We were seated right in front of the fountain. They had lights strung and it's surrounded by trees. It's just such a nice ambience if you're celebrating a special day. They currently have a prix-fix menu of 3 courses or 4 courses. My husband and I each selected a different item from the 3 course menu. They started dinner with a amuse busche of avocado mousse with a nut cracker. We ordered the tomato salad, green goddess salad, ribeye, halibut, chocolate torte and pistachio gelato. We had informed them we were celebrating our anniversary, and our desserts came out in nicely decorated plates with "happy anniversary" writing. Everything tasted great. I ordered the ribeye well done and it was still tender and delicious. It was a great dinner. Staff was great. Food came out fairly quickly after we were done with each course. They were very friendly. Overall great experience read more
