tldr; the amazing trifecta of amazing service, food and views. The specials are often worth trying!…read more Mammoth is usually one of the few ski resorts in California that opens the longest, and has the most open terrain. This was particularly true of the 25/26 season, and I found myself there in what was likely one of the last powder days of the season. I stayed in the Mammoth Creek Inn, a short walk away from Mammoth Bowl, but this is not the first time I've been there. Mammoth Rock Brasserie is somewhat hidden as it exists above a bowling alley, but it is undeniably one of the rare gems in Mammoth Lakes. I walked in at about 5:30pm without a reservation on a Saturday, and everything was great. I got seated quickly near the window with a great view, and was given the rundown of the specials of the day, which I'll be grading individually. - Hamachi Special "Hamachi Crudo" (5/5) - done to absolute perfection, the choice of sauces and a small amount of ginger and seaweed salad made for a perfect tasing experience. The sashimi is fresh of course, but what sauces you pair with it matters - and Brasserie did it perfectly - Seabass special "Loup de Mer au Beurre Blanc" (5/5) - done to perfection! The skin was perfectly crispy, and the fillet done amazingly well and combined with the Beurre Blanc made for an incredible pairing. The mashed potato side and asparagus was also great, although I wasn't really a fan of the root vegetables. There was also the complementary bread and salted butter which were a great way to start. The bread I believe comes from Shea Schat's bakery in the same town. Overall everything was amazing, and you're overlooking some of the best views of Mammoth Lake's mountain range. It's difficult to not recommend the experience, except maybe it being a somewhat pricey fine dining experience, but I think everyone should try it at least once!

This was our first time staying for the weekend at the lodge, and we were genuinely excited about the experience. On our second night we decided to have a special dinner at the Lakefront Restaurant, which we had been looking forward to. Unfortunately, the meal was very disappointing--especially given the price point. Our starter salad was mostly iceberg lettuce, the lamb starter was undercooked, and while the scallops were very good, $8 per scallop felt excessive. The beef Wellington, which we were particularly excited about, was bland and the pastry was doughy. For a dinner that totaled over $300 for two people, we expected a much higher level of quality and creativity. Compared to our previous visits, the food felt like it had gone noticeably downhill. It's genuinely sad to write this because we've always loved coming here. Sadly, this experience left us feeling disappointed enough that we likely won't return.

Our server was a bit lacking. We got sat in the corner and it felt like he forgot about us a few times. There were 15-20 minute spurts where he didn't come by while our drinks were empty and we wanted to order dessert. By the time he finally came over, the last dessert that we wanted was sold out and had "just been ordered by the other table over there". Maybe if he would've dropped by we could've actually got what we wanted. Easy to look past the bad service with the level of food this place brings in comparison to many of the other places in Mammoth that have bad service AND bad food.

For dinner we decided to order the Bauernschmaus German Sampler for two - Pork and veal schnitzel, kassler ripchen, smoked bratwurst and Polish sausage, potato pancakes, spaetzle, red cabbage and sauerkraut. $82.

When we walked in, we were quickly directed to the patio, just as we had requested. Our server, Ben, was so pleasant and had a great sense of humor. We started with some fried pickles , which were yum, and onions rings that were excellent, thin, fried, and crispy, of course! We had to try the garlic bread , which was tasty and toasty and a must-try appetizer. John Pizza was definitely a must, so we ordered a couple of pizzas to share. The crust was delicious and perfectly balanced with the toppings, and the cheese was just right, not too much. I highly suggest it as well. The ambiance was great, with a clean patio that had plenty of space. The music playlist was the perfect fit for the atmosphere. Thank you, Ben and Kai , for such a welcoming experience.

From what we were told, they coordinate hours with The Yodler across the street, which handles lunch service. We only came for dinner, mostly out of convenience since we were staying at the hotel. The first night, I ordered the bison osso bucco -- oh my god, it was really good. Tender, flavorful, and served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Zero complaints. My husband ordered the salmon and was pretty disappointed; it tasted like it had been frozen far too long. The second night, I went with the short rib grilled cheese with tomato soup, and again -- delicious. Honestly, what's a better combo than grilled cheese and tomato soup? Now add short rib? Wow. Meanwhile, my husband got the burger, which was cold, dry, and flavorless. He couldn't finish it, although the fries were very good. So either I'm excellent at ordering... or he just had bad luck two nights in a row. Bottom line: don't go out of your way to eat here, but you can find something good on the menu. They have a full bar and lots of TVs, which is nice after a ski day. There are definitely better restaurants down the mountain in town, but if you don't feel like driving, this place will do just fine.
