    Dining at Rush Creek Lodge Restaurant was one of the highlights of our Yosemite trip. After a day of exploring the park, it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. The restaurant offers a warm, rustic atmosphere that feels both upscale and comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The menu does a great job of combining elevated lodge cuisine with local ingredients, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. What really sets this restaurant apart is the overall experience. Between the quality of the food, the attentive service, and the stunning mountain-lodge setting, it provides the perfect ending to a day spent in Yosemite. Whether you're staying at the lodge or simply looking for a memorable meal near the park, Rush Creek Lodge Restaurant is absolutely worth a visit.

    The Elderberry House has been our family's "go-to" restaurant for several decades for special occasions, or just a great meal in a special setting. Our visit on June 17th did not disappoint us. The menu is always a surprise, with unique offerings. We ordered the 3-course Prix Fixe dinner and both of us choose the Miso glazed Duck breast as our main course. We were very pleased with every course, and the service was excellent.
