Parking was plentiful, even on a packed weekend, which was a huge plus. When we arrived, I chose outdoor seating because the whole setup had a nice aesthetic and was perfect for the vibe. Ordering through the QR code was super easy and straightforward. I ordered the BBQ pizza, onion rings, pretzel bites, and chicken tenders. Everything was really good! The onion rings were definitely the highlight for me. They had this super crisp texture that I honestly haven't experienced with onion rings before. The pizza was also good, and the cheese sauce was so yummy and added a lot of flavor. The pretzel bites were a little too salty for my liking because of the thick layer of salt, but once I brushed some of it off, they were actually really good. The chicken tenders were solid too and came out crispy and tasty. I also really appreciated that the service was more hands off. Sometimes you just want to sit down, eat, and enjoy your time without someone constantly checking on you, and this was exactly that. Everything was easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. Anywho, definitely a spot I'd recommend checking out! I'd come back just for those onion rings.

The food is decent, it's never going to absolutely wow you but it will be sufficient and well priced. This time I tried their mac and cheese, it was cheesy and I liked the type of pasta noodle they used that allowed it to get extra crispy and crunchy with the spiral texture, however it was a little dry and on the blander side for mac! The ordering system is great and straightforward, you order and pay on your phone and then food appears straight to your table! Genius, convenient and perfect for groups as there's no splitting the bill awkwardly at the end. And the dog friendliness is so clutch, our pups always enjoy the sunshine and rest. Really great spot I would recommend in a sea of terrible touristy Mammoth dining establishments.

Bar Sierra in Mammoth is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy great BBQ in a casual, laid-back atmosphere. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The staff genuinely cared about our experience and went out of their way to ensure everything was just right. The BBQ was delicious, with perfectly smoked meats that were tender and flavorful. The sides were just as good, rounding out a truly satisfying meal. The casual ambiance made it a perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of adventure in Mammoth. Whether you're craving some good BBQ or just looking for a comfortable place to enjoy great service and a welcoming vibe, Bar Sierra is definitely worth a visit. We will certainly be back. read more

Bar Sierra in Mammoth Lakes is our go-to spot every time we're in town, and the main reason is the amazing bartender, Sandra. She is incredibly sweet and funny, always bringing a great vibe to the place and making us laugh. Her drink-making skills are top-notch; she crafts some of the best cocktails we've ever had. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, she makes everyone feel welcome and ensures you have a fantastic experience. Highly recommend stopping by Bar Sierra and saying hi to Sandra! read more

Bar Sierra provided excellent customer service, with friendly hosts and a cozy atmosphere, highlighted by a beautiful fireplace in the center. The only downside was their Thanksgiving menu, which consisted solely of turkey. Unfortunately, the rest of the menu was unavailable for the entire evening, and given the heavy snow, it was difficult to go elsewhere. If you didn't enjoy turkey, there were no other options, leaving us without a meal. read more

Ravioli Bolognese: The standout dish. Rich, meaty, satisfying, and exactly the kind of homemade pasta dish that makes this place worth visiting. Pepperoni Pizza: Excellent crust, good char, and crispy pepperoni cups. Simple and really well executed. This is genuinely good pizza, not just good pizza for a mountain town. Caesar: One of the more unusual Caesars I've had. It arrived with essentially whole heads of lettuce, celery, and a homemade crunchy component that reminded us of a savory funnel cake. The homemade dressing was excellent. Different, fun to share, and memorable. Pasta: This is where Vulcania really shines. Everything tastes homemade, and I'd be comfortable ordering just about any pasta on the menu. Chicken Parmesan: Pretty good overall, with a creamy, rich sauce over the top. It was a little too heavy for me, but everyone else at the table loved it. Meatball: I would skip this dish. The meatball was undercooked and felt like it was lacking a binding ingredient. One thing worth knowing is that the kitchen isn't particularly flexible about modifying dishes. That makes sense for a chef-driven restaurant, but it's worth considering if you have picky eaters or prefer lots of substitutions. Overall, Vulcania is still the best pizza and pasta we've had in Mammoth. The handmade pasta is the real draw, the pizza is excellent, and dishes like the Caesar give the menu enough personality to make it more interesting than standard Italian-American food.

Five stars for the food, three stars for the host/ making reservations with a live person…read more Similar to the negative reviews, the host needs training. I called and inquired about a few things and when we arrived, we were told a different story. Long story short, use OpenTable to make your reservations and avoid the headache. Outside Pods- If you're interested in sitting in the pods outside, it's an additional $50-100 (depending on the day) and can fit 6-8 people. We had several kids in our party and they enjoyed the novelty of it. Our waiter Cam was great and made up for the poor service with the host. He had great recommendations as all were spot on. Cam recommended "family style" as many of the entrees are large and it gives you a chance to sample everything. We started with the asparagus summer rolls and tricolore salad. Both were delicious and refreshing. For the entrees we shared the cacio e pepe, margherita pizza, orechiette nero and chicken parmesan. Again, everything was excellent. For dessert, the gelato comes with three huge scoops along with three zeppoles (Italian donuts). The food was excellent and probably one of my new favorites in Mammoth.

The vibe is casual and inside is a pretty nice collection of Kansas City Royals baseball memorabilia. You don't have to love KC to enjoy this - if baseball is your thing, you will appreciate this. Dan even gave us the back ground on the owners history with KC. I highly recommend the baked brie as an appetizer - it was crazy amazing! I ordered the meatloaf and trust me, this isn't your ordinary meatloaf. It was recommended by a friend and you cannot go wrong with this choice. 5 stars! My husband had the salmon, and although it was very good, he wished he had gotten the meatloaf, so I graciously gave him half as the portion is huge! The only reason I didn't give it five stars is the dessert. Dan had recommended the carrot cake and said the portion was larger than other selections so, when we got home, we were disappointed in both the size and the taste. Although good, both my husband and I were expecting an amazing carrot cake and it tasted just normal. Admittedly, both my husband and I are carrot cake snobs so maybe our standards were a bit too high. But I would try another dessert. Plus, the cake was in a large container so by the time we got home, the frosting was all over the side of the container instead of the cake. If you get dessert to go, ask for a smaller container. Although this must sound picky, after such a delightful dining experience, it just felt like a little let down when we got home. Other than that, the experience was top-notch and I will definitely visit again the next time we are in Mammoth. Thanks for a great experience, Dan! By the way, a local highly recommended both the fish tacos and the lobster taquitos. I trust his recommendation completely! Just something else to consider on this amazing menu.

It was so cool that the owners Tracie and Steve personally takes care of their customers - serving and explaining each dish with passion and kindness. My husband and I shared 3 dishes: 1) Lobster, watermelon, and basil salad 2) Blue maize wagyu corn dog 3) Short ribs with gochujang sauce. My fave was the lobster! The lobster tasted fresh, and was so good with the basil oil. It was a small dish, but had a good amount of lobster. The corn dog was surprisingly good! I don't typically like corn dogs, but these were juicy, and the batter was light. It was fun to try the 3 different sauces (roasted tomato jam, wasabi crème fraiche, and wildflower honey mustard). The short rib was tender and fatty. The sauce was a little too salty for my preference, but was still enjoyable. Tracie recommended the bread to dip with the sauce, and my husband really enjoyed the bread - especially with the butter. For dessert, we got the chocolate mayonnaise cake, which was perfection! The cake was so moist! The frosting added a great balance of sweetness with the chocolate. Highly recommend checking out Ursa for dinner!

Unfortunately, we left extremely disappointed by the lack of hospitality and professionalism. We were seated at the first table by the entrance, where bright sunlight was pouring directly onto my face. There were only two other groups in the restaurant and at least 10 other tables unoccupied, so we politely asked if we could move back one table to another two-person table. Tracie told us they couldn't move us because other guests had gone online and selected the exact tables they wanted. We knew from making the reservation ourselves that there was no option to select a specific table. When my boyfriend questioned her, she backtracked and said something along the lines of, "Well, I mean, no... we just have all the seats accounted for." If the tables were already assigned or there was a seating policy, just tell us that. We would have understood. Instead, we were given an explanation that simply wasn't true. It took about 10 minutes to address the sunlight, and rather than moving us one table back, they eventually brought over boxes to block the light. What made the experience worse was overhearing Tracie, just a few feet away, tell another waiter to take our table. We felt like we were being passed off rather than welcomed as guests. We ultimately didn't order any food or drinks and before we left, we told them how disappointing this experience was for us. We came to Ursa simply expecting basic hospitality, professionalism, and honesty. If you couldn't move us, just say that. We would have respected it. But don't give us a reason that isn't true and then make us feel unwelcome.
