    The best part of eating here is the ambience. It’s pretty cool to see where the Shining was filmed and the rustic architecture is cool. The food is flat at best. Lower your expectations as the meat was bland and there were super limited options on the buffet. I think my boys ate more dessert than anything else.

    Carving station had a young man who admitted it was his first time cutting meat. He sliced the prime rib thin. The lamb was maybe a saddle. Definitely not a whole cut. Mashed potatoes were out. Asparagus might have been the star. No way worth the price they charge. Maybe the A team was at Easter brunch. The charcuterie at the bar was the best thing we ate. Stick to the bar.

    The Easter Brunch at the Ahwahnee was excellent. My wife and I had a very enjoyable experience that was only enhanced by the amazing staff that served us.

    Me parece que el buffet tiene la calidad suficiente en la cena, chico pero bien variado, en proteinas, verduras, ensaladas y sopa. La atencion de los meseros es sobresaliente y que decir del salon hermoso y con un pianista de fondo, de verdad vale la pena

    The food options were very limited specially considering the high price also the buffet a lot of the food plates were empty and not being constantly refilled. The venue is gorgeous though. Overall the buffet is not even close to being worth the price in my opinion.

    Overall very good. Service was excellent. Atmosphere lovely. Be forewarned: it’s a prix fixe buffet. While the food was good with a decent selection I would have liked a more personal dining experience. PS No gluten free desserts available
