Base Camp Eatery

Scrambled eggs are dry and overcooked and do not taste like actual eggs. Cheeseburger meal was surprisingly decent. Very few healthy options. There are vegan meals available. Average food overall

I paid $12 for a pizza, and every single slice was burnt.
When I went to the counter to ask about it, the staff told me that they had too many orders and that this was the best they could do.

I’m honestly confused — does being busy mean customers are expected to accept burnt food?
Charging $12 for this level of quality, along with this kind of response, is unacceptable.

Great food and service. Tiny tables and uncomfortable noise level. The biggest problem is getting to the place when you stay at the Ahwahnee. In the dark it is a miserable trek from the bus stop. Dangerous in snow. And the buses are really really slow. If you drive it in the dark prepare for being virtually blind without good markers and signage. But we go there every year we come up, because the restaurant itself is worth it.

Wonderful meal with a view to the falls. John did an amazing job serving us and we will be back. Thank You😎

Waiter was fabulous Very attentive to 8 of us Food creative and hot Very nice Good value I recommend

The view of the falls was gorgeous. The food was Amazing. The menu had gluten-free options. Make sure to make a reservation.

Food was adequate...overpriced and small portions. French onion soup did not have much flavor. Nice atmosphere.

Two of us ordered the 7oz sirloins medium rare. Both plates were sent back for being significantly over cooked and tasteless. Reordered the duck which was excellent.

From the hostess to the server to the bus staff, the service was atrocious. At least 7 items had run out and not available. The server told us that they were out of a drink and then would not come back. We've been going to the Mountain Room for 50 years and this was the worst experience ever.

Service was attentive. Thanksgiving menu was limited, but delivered the basics in a delicious way. The only feedback I would offer is that the desserts were a bit disappointing, but it did not detract from the overall experience.

not the best experience. They were out of a ton of food. Very expensive and not that spectacular.

The Menu was horrible this used to be have decent food. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Just wanted a normal meal. They used to offer a Hamburger for our teenage daughter. Now nothing on the Menu is good.

We had a great meal on our last night in Yosemite. Our waiter was very patient with our large group with kids and all the food came out correct. The appetizers were our favorite, especially the Brussels sprouts and fried mushrooms. The pear salad was also great! The kids were very happy with their steam bites. We will definitely visit again next time we are in Yosemite.

We're out of a few options of their main menu including 7oz steak and the bar was closed. Seemed like they were short staffed took a bit to get order in. Food itself was very good, just ok presentation. Have been previously and had better experience last time

I have always enjoyed dining at this restaurant on our Yosemite trips. I'm giving it three stars this time because on the limited menu that it has two of the items were not available (the 7 ounce sirloin steak and the rabbit pasta dish) both are items that I was interested in in having for dinner. and no one let us know that the bar was closed and there was only beer and wine until after we were seated. The food arrived lukewarm not hot. Our server was great and I have no issues with the staff or the service there. I would eat there again, but I think before actually going to be seated I would ask if the complete menu is available. We dined there November 20, 2025.
