Seven Tents Pavilion

Absolutely disgusting food. Had to wait over an hour for pizza that gave us food poisoning. Go to the hamburger place next door.

Extremely rude staff

Ate all meals during 3 day stay. Despite limited menu offering food was good value. Price were reasonable and the portions good. You cannot compare to fine dining and really disagree with low ratings! FU I but do avoid the Meadow Lake Grill around the corner!

I seldom give bad reviews but the food was terrible and expensive. And the server here was very absent-minded.

Very nice restaurant in Yosemite Valley, practically a must-see for anyone staying in Curry Village. The restaurant offers on-site consumption with self-service. You take the tray with cutlery and glasses, choose the dish, pay and eat at long social tables. The place is very nice and well looked after, the food is good and reasonably priced compared to the American average. Truly a great experience.

Parking: Very large parking inside the Curry Village. Maybe we found a seat because we went to dinner very late.

Kid-friendliness: Lugo suitable for adults and children. Large room.

Seven Tents in Yosemite National Park is a prime example of taking advantage of captive customers. Located in the Curry Village food court, this restaurant offers a limited menu of rotisserie chicken, pasta, and salads at high prices (given the poor quality of the food).

The setup is cafeteria-style – you grab a tray, pick your food, pay at the counter, and then find a seat. Utensils are a free-for-all on the wall behind the cashier. Seating is first-come, first-served, and cleanup is entirely on you. Expect leftover food and dirty dishes on tables, especially during peak hours (which, in my case, was a packed summer night at 8:30 pm).

Now, onto the most disappointing part – the food itself. I opted for the white sauce pasta with vegan meatballs, a whopping $15+ for a dish that was a culinary disaster. The pasta was severely undercooked, the sauce was barely a whisper, and the vegan meatballs were dry and flavorless. They offered a red sauce pasta with regular meatballs as well, but considering this experience, I wouldn't risk it.

The only saving grace, and even that's a maybe, is the free wifi – but only if you're staying at Curry Village and have the magical promotion code they neglect to share anywhere.

Overall, Seven Tents is a frustrating experience. Unless you're starving and have absolutely no other options, avoid it. Go to the pizza place right outside. I'd rather wait in line for that than go back to this restaurant.

We go to Yosemite every year once or twice. This was our place to eat. They always had a choice of fish, chicken and beef or pork with lots of different sides of great vegetables, a dinner roll with butter. A great salad bar, the still have that. Now no fish and no sides of vegetables, no dinner roll. I don't eat any other meat except fish. I loved all of there vegetables. Now we bring our own food and cook. I loved not needing to pack so much food and having to cook. Bring back the old menu Please. Or add fish and sides of vegetables. Thank you!

Whoever hires/creates the schedule and orders the food needs to be replaced. It's going to get someone hurt. I went there and asked for non-dairy and they didn't understand the request (accidentally almost gave me the wrong thing). If you have folks with serious allergies, people could get hurt. They only had one person working the checkout (who I felt bad for) and so the line queued into the food court area. People couldn't navigate and someone accidentally tripped into a woman with a tray holding a beer bottle. Beer bottle explodes as it falls to the floor and glass shatters into people. Again, people are going to get hurt. Do better.

Dietary restrictions: They say they have options but they are out of stock on everything, so they effectively have no options.

Food and the atmosphere are decent for the price you pay but the staff are absolutely terrible. They openly fight and bicker in front of customers and just have an overall look of just being miserable and disgruntled.

Good enough for a quick meal. Better breakfast then what I had at other local places.

Had one dinner and one breakfast here and was very happy with quality of food and price. We had Asian curry & stew for dinner, with a nice&cheap salad plate and biscuits&gravy and eggs for breakfast. Would go again, best food option in curry village.

It's a little difficult to write a review of this type of lodging because it's really all about the location. Nestled right there in the middle of Yosemite Valley, there could not possibly be a better location. If you are a camper, the crowded tent/cabin village is not a camping experience. If you are expecting a lodge, most of Curry Village does not come close to the picture featured with this listing. All those qualifications aside, the canvas tent cabin we stayed in was quite sufficient and I would say comfortable. It's an experience and it is expensive. A national park setting with thousands of people around. And this national park is quite exceptional, perhaps the best for beautiful expansive scenery and hiking. Curry Village is really very populated, with stores, dining areas, and other buildings. Perhaps it's California dreaming, with the dream being Yosemite itself.

Curry village is very impressive in the logistics of moving very large groups through day in and out. The front desk staff is very efficient, having to answer questions for folks brand new to the park and often through language barriers. We stayed in the Stoneman Lodge, a collection of rooms around the perimeter of a medium sized structure. It's VERY convenient to the rest of the village, food, the lounge, everything only steps away. This meant a bit more people traffic noise and bus traffic noise from the central CA valley shuttle, but that wasn't much of an issue. The biggest issue is ventilation, not a surprise for a building of its age, and not unexpected. So long as the valley cools at night and the one window is left open, it works. Fortunately we weren't there when the valley was hot, that'd be less pleasant. The room was clean and well cared for. We were happy not to be in one of the tents as we were there as the hurricane/tropical storm remnants passed through.
