We really enjoyed our experience dining at the Ahwahnee Hotel Dining Room. The food was very good and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was also very lovely with the piano playing beautifully in the background. I think my ONLY negative comment is that the food and coffee were not nice and hot, which is important to probably only me, but overall I think the experience was worth every penny.

Last night was a memorable one. My partner and I enjoyed the salmon, carrots and crab fried rice with a split of champagne. Oh, and the bar drinks were way above the usual standards. Definitely recommend Ernie’s if you enjoy fine dining.

Remains a fave. Tonight the tacos and chicken were sensational… every night every dish is sensational. Matt and crew you killed it yet again. A place for conversation with strangers, overlooking each other’s meal and discussing faves. Thank you guys for providing an epicurean gathering place in TuoCo.
