The staff is wonderful and attentive. The venue is charming, maybe needs some maintenance. The food was good, but the bean base on the halibut was a bit underdone.

Stumbled upon this fairytale French chateau while searching for dining spots on a Yosemite trip, and I’m so glad I did! The staff were polite and the service was excellent. The food was good, and the whole place has such a charming, elegant vibe.
I just wish I had more daylight to explore the estate, it looks absolutely stunning. Definitely a memorable spot worth visiting!

Delicious food and excellent service. Wines were chosen thoughtfully and were excellent as well.

An absolutely fabulous dining experience. We had the 5 course meal with wine pairing. The food was stupendous and the pairings were spot on. We will be back!

The food is very good. Tasty and beautifully presented. We were the only ones in the restuarant that evening (early reservations) so it was very quiet. Service was excellent and attentive. What I would say though, is it is a bit overpriced for what you actually get and if the restaurant is charging also for the "experience", they need to do a bit of maintenance on the exterior of the property. The landscape is old and could use a lot of work. The exterior of the building has not been well maintained. We actually thought we were in the wrong place when we arrived. Again, the food is good but not over the top good and the service is very good but some things like the explanation of how the butter for the bread is prepared could be pared down. Lots of interuptions to our dinner to explain things, etc. Some customers may enjoy this. Undoubtable the best restaurant in the area but keep in mind you will be paying $12 for a bottle of water and lots more if you have any kind of alcoholic drink. There is no beer menu for those that do not drink wine and only two mocktails if you are avoiding alcohol.

An absolutely outstanding fine dining experience near Yosemite! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and professional without ever feeling rushed. Every detail from the beautifully plated dishes to the thoughtfully curated wine list was exceptional. The flavors were balanced, creative, and clearly made with the highest quality ingredients.
What stood out most was how seamless the entire evening felt. The staff anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and each course arrived perfectly timed. It’s rare to find this level of service and culinary excellence in such a stunning setting.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a memorable meal after a day in Yosemite, this restaurant is a must. Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time

We recently dined at a high end restaurant that delivered an overall enjoyable experience, though it came with a hefty price tag. The ambiance and service were top notch. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure everything felt smooth from start to finish.
We decided to try a signature drink with each course, which added a fun twist to the evening. We had an Old Fashioned, a hibiscus margarita, a kiwi inspired cocktail, and an espresso with dessert. The drinks were good and well made, but none of them were truly memorable on their own.
The standout of the night was the ahi tuna crudo course. It was absolutely delicious, especially paired with the melon. The balance of flavors was spot on and it was easily the most memorable dish. Dessert was also very good and left us with a sweet final impression.
While the food was solid and some moments were excellent, the total—around five hundred dollars for two people—felt a bit much for a dinner that left us still wanting a bit more in terms of portion or wow factor.
If you are in the mood to explore and splurge, this spot is worth a visit. If you do not have the money to spare, you are definitely missing out, but maybe not on something life changing.
It's ridiculous that a restaurant with food of this quality, prepared so well and served so beautifully, does not have at least one Michelin star.

Always a great place to visit! We celebrated both our 5-year and now our 10-year anniversaries here, and the food and experience have always been amazing. This time, however, the menu was much more limited—likely due to cutbacks—which was a bit disappointing. We were hoping for a tasting menu with add-ons, but all of those options were gone. Still, the food and service were excellent, and we’d happily return for our 15-year celebration—just knowing now that the menu might be more limited.

Totally Amazing! Excellent, attentive service. Our server's were friendly and acknowledged our anniversary, which was the reason for the celebration. We'll definitely be back!

A lovely time, fine dining, and a little château nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Go check it out for a date night experience.

I went to celebrate my birthday by myself and I loved the atmosphere the bartender was amazing! I loved that he made especial cocktails that i have never tried before, but I was really disappointed with the food. It tasted great, but I did find a hair in my food. The bartender felt really bad and he took it off my tab. I forgot his name, but he was amazing. Im really thankful for the way he treated me. Made me feel comfortable.
Super cute.
