Restaurants near El Portal

“Pizza was pretty good and staff was attentive and helpful. Crust was cooked well and the pizza had good flavor overall. Personally, I thought there was too much cheese and it overpowered the taste of the pizza sauce and other ingredients, but my wife thought it was fine. The interior is dingy and dirty - not a place you really want to sit and eat. Ironically for a pizza place, you have to ask for parmesan and red pepper flakes. They have a side table with ketchup, mayo, mustard, and soy sauce. Not sure why those are there and why the basic pizza toppings aren’t. I saw multiple people look confused and ask for parmesan and red pepper flakes. Paid $53 for two medium pizzas which is way overpriced but expected in this area.”

“Friendly staff!”

“The food, scenery, and people are all wonderful!”

“We were pleasantly surprised by the service, hospitality, menu and delicious food. We were returning after a long day in Yosemite that ended with a hike to the top of Vernal Falls that took longer than we expected during a heat wave, 102 degrees. We wanted to get back before the 8:30 PM closing, but a very slow driver in front of us slowed our progress back. We were a couple minutes late and pleaded and the restaurant kindly let us in. Our party included 3 generations. Everyone was happy with their dinner, which included 2 orders of spareribs, chicken Marsala and Ahi on a bed of seaweed. Desserts we ordered were NY raspberry cheesecake, chocolate cake, and boysenberry tart a la mode. Many other choices. Experience exceeded our expectations!”
