The Wawona Dining Room is well-known for its culinary excellence. Chef Robert’s cuisine features an array of seasonal specialties as well as traditional favorites, including Pot Roast, fresh Trout and a sumptuous grilled Flat Iron Steak. And, your stay at Wawona will not be complete until you sample this Yosemite's restaurant's signature, award-winning White Turkey Chili (lunch only), which has been featured in three cookbooks and on the National Turkey Federation website.
The Wawona Dining Room itself is traditional Victorian, but with a rustic flare. Hand-painted hanging lights, featuring pictures of giant sequoias, are strung with small sequoia cones and cast a warm glow throughout the room. On warm summer nights, the veranda, which is adjacent to the dining room, is a classic spot to enjoy Wawona's sumptuous fare. Cocktails can be enjoyed by the fireplace, on the veranda, in the beautiful Guest Lounge and on the lawn while relaxing in one of the inviting Adirondack chairs.
