We stayed outside of the park in Visalia, which has a truly limited number of options for dining. We were thrilled to see how beautiful Wawona was when we arrived there in hopes of having a nice breakfast. The Wawona dining room is a gorgeous antique of a room. It is completely surrounded by windows that allow perfect lighting. The... More

If you stay a the Wawona Hotel this is your only choice other than packing in your own groceries. We found the staff to be very pleasant. Dinner was good, if a bit expensive. Complimentary continental breakfast (breads, ceral, fruit) was also good, but if you want something a bit hardier order off the menu.

We stayed in Yosemite West which is right in between the Valley & Wawona Hotel. So one night to get out of the Valley we decided to drive the other direction & have dinner here. We each got the smaller portion of the Chicken Alfredo & iced tea. It was delicious & plenty! I can't imagine what the larger portion... More

I had tried unsuccessfully to get reservations to stay at the Wawona several weeks before we arrived in the area, so I was a little ticked off that when we finally got to Yosemite, there were signs everywhere announcing vacancies there. But we'd already made other accommodations, so that was that. We spent a day sightseeing in the Mariposa Grove... More

A pretty good lunch menu, sitting on the front porch with a good breeze. Evening drinks are a little steep $$, dinner was reminiscent of classic old country clubs. Nice, not spectacular. In general older clientele. Wait staff was very accommodating with our large group (17).

The menu is somewhat traditional, ut the food was good, the service was excellent, and the view out over the front lawn with the fountain was very peaceful and pleasant. They open the (screened) windows some and a pleasnat breeze comes in.

My partner had the free continental breakfast - but I wanted a hot meal so I ordered off the menu. Both options were very good and the price was reasonable. The service was marvy. The hotel does a good job of maintaining the historic integrity of the space. The person who seats you is not the most efficient fellow. I... More

Just got back from a stay at this hotel and had the unfortunate experience of dining there one night for dinner. To put it bluntly, the food was terrible and overpriced. Although the wait staff could not have been more helpful in trying to find a better option from the menu, there is nothing that can be done when the... More

Great dining room in a solarium basically in the woods. Well prepared food with good variety & allergy accomodation. Excellent service. Not to be missed: Tom Bopp on the piano in the palor. Great variety of music including old Yosemite songs, very interactive with audience.

The food was top notch and interesting. After eating at the Ahwanee for 3 days, the food at the Wawona was even better. When we mentioned that to the server, he said many others had made the same comment.
