5 Best American Restaurants in Lee Vining

“The Mono Inn is my favorite restaurant. The ingredients for the farm to table food are carefully curated, the menu items brilliantly conceived, and each dish is perfectly executed. The atmosphere is comfortable, the room beautiful, the view of the lake breathtaking, and the service precise. We dine there for all our celebrations and are always eager to return.“

“What a great find. The women behind the counter were very sweet and friendly. We had two sandwiches, a Mexican mocha and some freshly baked seasonal breads. EVERYTHING was fresh and perfectly executed. The flavors were phenomenal. I highly recommend this stop before heading toward or away from your adventures.“

“Bought some food for to-go. Me and my family had chicken nuggets and fries for the 'snack.' The fries are alright, and the nuggets are so good! They are crispy on the outside, but soft and tender inside. They're like golden nuggets.. I also bought a chicken burger. It's also delicious! I had a bit of vanilla ice cream and it was sweetly perfect.“

“Great place to stay and decompress. Wonderful staff, clean rooms can’t wait to return. So much to explore in this area. Thank you Gladys!!! Hope to see you again soon.“

“Wish they had better reviews, this place was great! We stopped for breakfast driving through and our initial restaurant we planned to stopped at was closed for the season so we walked down to the diner and I’m so glad we did! We both had omelets and toast and a side of chocolate chip pancakes. Big servings and endless coffee!“
