New American Restaurants in Yosemite Valley, CA

“Great staff who ensured that we had an enjoyable stay.“

“Usually, when staying at a historic hotel in a national park, you get your fill of staff who don't care. That was definitely NOT the case here. The staff cheerfully greeted us at every encounter. Bar food and service were excellent. They kept apologizing for a short wait, but who cares when you are lounging around on vacation? The main dining room is a must for dinner. We had a few hiccups, but the staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. I come to these places to relax, not rush through every meal in a frenetic attempt to cram my day full of tasks. If I miss something, I will come back. Special shout-out to the host and hostess at the afternoon tea on Sunday, 12/7/25. Unfortunately, I cannot remember their names, but they were excellent, engaging, and interesting to talk with. They deserve kudos. Another staff member who stood out was the dining room host at breakfast. He was one of the most pleasant and helpful and deserves high praise. Thank you for an enjoyable trip!“
