This place is awesome. The price point is extremely reasonable for what it is. Entrees range about $30-$55, we would have paid double in Tulsa Oklahoma. The vibe inside is cozy cabin, but elegant and upscale. The seating is comfortable, the staff is kind and helpful. The drink menu is expansive, the wine is delicious. And the food. Where to start! The presentation is amazing, and the options are on point. It was hard to choose! But most of all, it’s just delicious. So incredibly good. Definitely worth the visit, and stop by Convict Lake before dinner for a lovely sunset!

We’re Morrison’s regulars and tried new items on the new menu, and loved them. I had the Kung Pao Tofu, and finished every last morsel. Crispy chunks of tofu in a just-right spicy sauce with veggies, rice and peanuts. I had never ordered tofu n a restaurant before, but as a Kung Pao chicken fan, I’m now a convert. My DH enjoyed the flank steak with octopus and romanescu sauce, veggies and mashed potatoes, and he scraped his plate clean, too. I also ordered the Mocktail because every mocktail I’ve ever mad was awful; this one was delicious, and I’ll order it again. Mike was a great server, and we appreciated the two baskets of delicious sourdough we scarfed. Have to go back to try the other new menu items!

Hands down one of the best ribeyes I have ordered from any top tier restaurant I have been to. Mood was nice, music was just right. Just the right amount of service to get what we needed and never a bother to speak to. They didn’t feel overbearing (not a mouth full of food when they asked if we needed anything) Great experience over all. Would recommend.

Discover Mammoth Lakes

Located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Yosemite National Park, Mammoth Lakes is every bit as majestic as the name suggests. Despite the somewhat remote location, the area also boasts a vast array of cuisines served in beautiful settings. You can find American staples like burgers, ribs, and steak, and you can enjoy more exotic flavors like Greek, Thai, and Chinese. After a day of adventure in the great outdoors, you can relax and enjoy some delicious Mexican-Latin fusion with beer on tap or do a bit of fine dining while marveling at a stunning view of the Sherwin Range.
