Mono Inn - Lee Vining

Food sucked. Fancy looking 5 course meal but lacked flavor. The combinations were off. The ingredients didn't feel that fresh either. Waiters were great but lacked attention to detail like leaving empty glasses on the table. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+ Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

I recently dined at Mono Inn and for $85 a person, the five-course menu was genuinely impressive. The chef was clearly aiming high, and it showed in every dish. While it wasn't quite a Michelin star experience, it's definitely on the path to a Michelin recommendation. Worth a visit if you appreciate an ambitious menu at a reasonable price. Would I come back? Yes, looking forward to it! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This place was incredible. We accidentally stumbled upon it while visiting mono lake from Yosemite and it was one of the highlights of our trip and a meal to remember. Everything was delicious, creative, and thoughtful. Would love to come back here again Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

An unexpected treat to find a menu this creative and refined in Lee Vining. The restaurant has switched to a price fixe menu since the last menu photos were posted on google. It is well worth the price, every dish was outstanding. The wagyu was melt in your mouth tender. The canapés and dessert bites were fun and delicious. Thoughtful wine list selections. The view, decor, and ambiance fit the setting perfectly. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Absolutely incredible meal! They only offer the tasting menu but were able to accommodate my vegetarian husband day-of (call first to check though, for last minute dietary restrictions). Sometimes you get expensive tasting menus and farm to table and it just doesn't taste good... but don't worry, every single bite was amazing! Unique flavor combinations, amazing and attentive service, beautiful views of Mono Lake, and a cozy vibe without any of the pretention I often associate with restaurants or this caliber. I highly recommend for any special occasion or trip to the eastern Sierra Nevadas. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
