Mono Inn 55620 U.S. 395, Lee Vining, CA 93541

"We stumbled upon this restaurant on Nov 26, 2023. This restaurant has a weekly fixed 5-course tasting menu. The food presentation, the excellent explanation of how each course was prepared by Jason, the chef, the insane food that made me wanting to have broccoli cheese soup everyday if it’s as good as Jason’s, the tuna , duck and waygu beef were perfect, the freshness of the food, everything was just brilliantly done. This restaurant surprised us. We highly recommend it!"

"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."

"With great ambience overlooking the beautiful Mono lake, this is your must stop. A true gem, nestled just north of June Lake, in Lee Vining, provided an unforgettable fine dining experience. Locally sourced ingredients, impeccable service, and a chef with culinary know how are the stand out factors for my review. But it doesn't end there. This restaurant withstands the test of time by serving experiences for 100 years. Enjoy your meal downstairs, but also be sure to head up to the second floor, where you can enjoy a rich library of cook books, appreciate local artist displays, and my favorite, an antique square grand piano. Rich in flavor & history, the Mono Inn is truly a landmark of the Eastern Sierras. Can't wait to return with my family."

"What a gem! We had an amazing experience at Mono Inn! We were here on New Year’s Day and they had a special menu. We ordered baked oysters, beets salad, duck confit salad, beef Wellington and the lobster tail and three cocktails. The food was priced fairly and beautifully presented and cooked. We will definitely come back here next time when we are on this road!"
