Found this dining gem in Yosemite. I didn?t know it existed. Visited twice. Dined for dinner on a Saturday then grabbed some lunch on a Wednesday. Very different experiences on both days. Saturday: We we?re on our way back from the Firefall. We decided on ordering here because there tons of people everywhere and we thought it was going to take a long time to get out of the park and we didn?t want to go hungry. The eatery was very crowded. Long lines. There was one person on mask control. Many options on the menu. Warm soups are perfect on a cold night. I waited over an hour before I had my food in my hands. By this time the crowds exiting the park were gone. So I didn?t mind waiting inside a warm eatery. There was one cashier who seemed overwhelmed with the crowd because she was not so friendly. She was bothered that I asked her what number they were on the orders. The lady directing us to move the line was very patient. All the cooks and servers were nice. No one had smiles though. No complaints there. We had pepperoni pizzas. My pizza was over cooked and hard. I was too tired to complain and wait for another pizza. ~Wednesday: We ordered lunch. We had hamburgers and fires. No lines. No crowds. We got our lunch fast. The cashiers were friendly. Cooks and servers were kind. Everyone had a smile. We had our burgers to go so that we could picnic by the El Capitan by the meadow. The burger would have tasted better eating it warm at the eatery but the view was way nicer by the meadow.

Started our morning at the base of Yosemite Falls so this was the closest place for food. We arrived around 9:30 with the place closing at 10. There were about 15 groups of people behind us still when they closed the line at 10. Food/Taste/Flavor: 2/5 So we all ordered the breakfast bundle but received very different amounts of food. The bundle is eggs, protein, potatoes, and a croissant. The first person got a mound of eggs, the second some eggs but mostly the dry shavings of the egg, and we got another pastry since there were no eggs left. We were lucky since the cheese pastry was pretty good but the croissant was dry. The dry shaving of eggs were dry (obviously) and pretty much inedible. They should have given a replacement as well similar to our order. The bacon was pretty good but the sausages were super dry as well Ambience: 5/5 cafeteria atmosphere but clean and comfortable Service: 1/5 there is only one person per station and at one point the worker walked away and no one knew what was happening. The person we ordered from was short with us and seemed frustrated that he had to deal with us Value for price: 2/5 as long as you are here more than an hour before closing and they have sufficient food, should be okay

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! Look at the pictures and see yourself. $4.25 for a part of the Pommes and u get half a box. The chicken burger hardly had chickens and the whole food was best warm. The staff behind the counter feels like they're doing you a favor. If you do not want to work, then not how you ruin the Yosemite experience for all who come. The terrace with pizza is super fresh and the staff is friendly. I guess the lady who worked in the grocery store next to the deck was right to eat in the base camp. I don't know why you get so poor food!

I had the Mediterranean bowl Entrees with 2 sides for $17.5 Grilled Chicken, with Tomatoe Salad and Quinoa Mix , with Creamy Garlic. Good portion size, chicken was good, not spicy. Expensive but better portion size than the chicken sandwich. Also had the cheese cake which was super good.
