Really nice atmosphere. Views from the surrounding areas are top! Food is not bad considering the choices are so limited at the area. To me, the soup, beef chili, of the day was the best! Cheesecake tastes too sweet for us. We will definitely come back for another dinner during our 4D3N trip. Also, I am planning to try their black salmon (not on the menu) next time.

It's a very good restaurant, but their service. It was not that exceptional, as expected. We end up waiting for over in 50 minutes just to get our food when we first got there, we requested, to sit outside we were told there is no space available. When I looked around there was plenty of space available, after a while our server was able to move us outside, thanks to him. the food was okay, but they need to work on the service i know location wise. It's a great view, and every thing but if they don't work in their service, people may not start coming in.

We stayed at a Vrbo five minutes away and the owner recommended this restaurant to us. So glad he did. We had driven from San Diego and were starving by the time we arrived. Our server Taylor was absolutely awesome! The food was perfect-appetizer, meal and dessert, and the view was even better. After our day in the park the next day we were able to sneak back at the last hour of service to grab a burger. Once again, we had Taylor as our server and everything was great. Would definitely come back if we find ourselves in the area again.

Location is great, if you manage to book a table by the river as we did the experience is quite nice :) food is good and the staff was incredible. Starting from the lady at the entrance to the gentleman who served our table everything was perfect. They both had a warm smile despite the day was incredibly busy, they were kind and welcoming. I work in the hospitality industry with Marriott (my wife as well) and we can tell the difference when we see professionals at work! Give them a raise! Thank you from Rome :)

This is a cool spot along the river to eat. It can get crowded but they do take reservations. Parking could definitely be better but there is not room for additional parking. We always have good service and food. Definitely worth a trip for the views, drinks, and food. We have not started at the hotel.

We had a delightful lunch before heading to Sequoia National Park. We ordered escargots and steaks, both of which were incredibly delicious. We also enjoyed a refreshing IPA while taking in the breathtaking view of the Kaweah River from the window. This restaurant is the perfect place to savor tasty meals and enjoy the scenic river view. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive.

Though the room wasn't that big but very cozy. Glen was very prompt in fixing the problem in the room and made sure our needs were taken care of. All the staffs were very nice including in the restaurant, Jessie was very helpful in suggesting food options. The food was awesome and especially the venue which was right by the Kaweah River. It is also very close to the national park entrance. We are definitely going back here.
