    We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and they sat us near the window. We actually saw a bald eagle flying around. The blue cheese dressing was delicious. We each loved our meals and desserts. It was an even more enjoyable experience than we expected.

    Great location. Food is very good. Service was excellent. We sat outside on the patio. Perfect weather, lots of people, but not noisy, and didn’t feel too crowded. Pricy menu, but that’s what you might expect in a resort of this caliber. We would certainly eat here again when we are in the vicinity Yosemite’s South Gate.

    Great place to eat, the views of Bass Lake was beautiful on the patio. Food came out quickly and tasted really good. We waited a little more longer than we would've liked despite having reservations but we were quickly seated once they realized we were still waiting. I would still recommend eating here if you're staying in Bass Lake! :)
