We had a wonderful experience dining here in March — sunset view of the lake, beautiful interior, professional staff, and of course delicious food. Will definitely plan a return trip!

We stumbled upon this restaurant on Nov 26, 2023. This restaurant has a weekly fixed 5-course tasting menu. The food presentation, the excellent explanation of how each course was prepared by Jason, the chef, the insane food that made me wanting to have broccoli cheese soup everyday if it’s as good as Jason’s, the tuna , duck and waygu beef were perfect, the freshness of the food, everything was just brilliantly done. This restaurant surprised us. We highly recommend it!

What a find! Mono Inn’s owner, chef and attentive staff are really aiming high and delivering a wonderful dining experience. The tasting menu is full of delightful bites, wine pairings highly enjoyable and the bartender mixed up a memorable cocktail. The view is spectacular and the history behind the inn was particularly interesting. The chef and staff were very accommodating of my wife’s dietary restrictions, not easy with a set menu. Can’t wait to go back!

I recently dined at Mono Inn and for $85 a person, the five-course menu was genuinely impressive. The chef was clearly aiming high, and it showed in every dish. While it wasn't quite a Michelin star experience, it's definitely on the path to a Michelin recommendation. Worth a visit if you appreciate an ambitious menu at a reasonable price.
Would I come back? Yes, looking forward to it!

This place was incredible. We accidentally stumbled upon it while visiting mono lake from Yosemite and it was one of the highlights of our trip and a meal to remember. Everything was delicious, creative, and thoughtful. Would love to come back here again

An unexpected treat to find a menu this creative and refined in Lee Vining. The restaurant has switched to a price fixe menu since the last menu photos were posted on google. It is well worth the price, every dish was outstanding. The wagyu was melt in your mouth tender. The canapés and dessert bites were fun and delicious. Thoughtful wine list selections. The view, decor, and ambiance fit the setting perfectly.

Absolutely incredible meal! They only offer the tasting menu but were able to accommodate my vegetarian husband day-of (call first to check though, for last minute dietary restrictions). Sometimes you get expensive tasting menus and farm to table and it just doesn't taste good... but don't worry, every single bite was amazing! Unique flavor combinations, amazing and attentive service, beautiful views of Mono Lake, and a cozy vibe without any of the pretention I often associate with restaurants or this caliber. I highly recommend for any special occasion or trip to the eastern Sierra Nevadas.

Spectacular 5 course menu. Servers explained about each dish as served with the chef coming out when dessert was served. Service was impeccable. The atmosphere and view of mono lake is an experience not to miss.

What a nice surprise to find this little gourmet gem in the rough of the eastern Sierra Nevada! We very much enjoyed the tasting, a 7-course offering of beautifully prepared and delicious small portions. I’m not a foodie, but I have to say that these dishes and the paired wines were so expertly composed with complex yet also complimentary tastes …yes, I wanted more of each, but at the same time I eagerly anticipated what was to come. I’m thankful to learn that food can be so good! And, the service and spectacular sunset scenery overlooking Mono Lake are unparalleled. Thanks for a perfect night out and a memorable dining experience!

With great ambience overlooking the beautiful Mono lake, this is your must stop. A true gem, nestled just north of June Lake, in Lee Vining, provided an unforgettable fine dining experience. Locally sourced ingredients, impeccable service, and a chef with culinary know how are the stand out factors for my review. But it doesn't end there. This restaurant withstands the test of time by serving experiences for 100 years. Enjoy your meal downstairs, but also be sure to head up to the second floor, where you can enjoy a rich library of cook books, appreciate local artist displays, and my favorite, an antique square grand piano. Rich in flavor & history, the Mono Inn is truly a landmark of the Eastern Sierras. Can't wait to return with my family.

Great food, super friendly service and great view of Mono Lake. The salmon comes on a well spiced sauce and medium rare. The burger was really good as well a the fries that came with it. And the Mediterranean spreads were a great start.

I am thrilled that we have Mono Inn on the Eastside. First, time your reservation with sunset! The views are spectacular and the ambience fits the natural beauty vibe perfectly -- simple yet classy. The food is excellent -- the menu creatively celebrates what the seasons have to offer with top-notch execution and presentation. Finally, the service is outstanding, from making a reservation to the dining experience itself -- attentive yet unhurried; you truly feel taken care of. We came here for my husband's birthday and the setting, food, and service definitely made it a special night to remember.

The location is perfect. It was nice to be able to dine while the sunset was ongoing over the lake.
I liked the idea of garnishing the bonemarrow with salmon eggs. It matched perfectly. The tomahawk stake was delicious. The waiters are kind and welcoming. I would definitely recomend this place and most definitely will go back here and enjoy a meal there when I come back to this place.

Amazing!! Cannot say enough about this place, the food is phenomenal, the view is spectacular, and the service is excellent! The bar tender is by far one of the BEST I have ever encountered, crafting unique and tantalizing cocktails. I have a gluten allergy and they have also been able to accommodate my dietary needs. Wonderful restaurant!
