The Ahwahnee Dining Room Review
Even if you're a dyed-in-the-wool, sleep-under-the-stars backpacker, the Ahwahnee Dining Room will not fail to make an impression. This is where the great outdoors meets four-star cuisine, and it's a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion. The cavernous room, its candelabra chandeliers hanging from the 34-foot-high beamed ceiling, seats 350, but feels intimate once you're at your table. The menu changes frequently and offers a good variety of creative yet recognizable dishes, such as pan-roasted Alaskan halibut, bone-in rib-eye, and rack of lamb. An extensive wine list, featuring selections from California and abroad, is offered at lunch and dinner. Breakfast includes egg dishes, hot cakes, and the like, plus specialties such as an apple crepe filled with spiced apples and raspberry purée. Lunch choices include sautéed trout, a grilled portobello sandwich, and a variety of plates and salads. Sunday brunch is a big event. Note: The dinner dress code requires men to wear a collard shirt and long pants in the evening. Ladies are asked to wear dresses, skirts or slacks and blouses. Breakfast, brunch and lunch dress are casual. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
