Had a very nice time trying the Summer tasting menu. Great flavors created and paired with great wines. This is a wonderfully different place than what you usually find in the Eastern Sierras.
The restaurant was too cold which made me uncomfortable the whole time, and the wait staff need to speak a little louder. Can’t wait to come back.

Hidden gem! This place is worth it to drive here even from LA to experience the whole range of flavors. Every bite was mouthwatering. Service was professional and the whole atmosphere is taking you out of real life. Worming fireplace and the stunning view to the lake! Try to catch the sunset and you will be amazed!

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.

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!

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.

What a gem! We had an amazing experience at Mono Inn! We were here on New Year’s Day and they had a special menu. We ordered baked oysters, beets salad, duck confit salad, beef Wellington and the lobster tail and three cocktails. The food was priced fairly and beautifully presented and cooked. We will definitely come back here next time when we are on this road!

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.

Been going here several years while at time share at June Lake. Food is ingredient driven, a nice mix of modern and rustic, and not tiny portions. Every visit has been new and delicious. Service is excellent. The dining room is comfy and rustic, with large fireplace burning real wood. The real draw is the full width picture window overlooking Mono lake, always a spectacular sunset during dinner. Sometimes a great moon rise.

The dinner we had at Mono Inn was honestly one of the best of my life. Everything was cooked to perfection from the first bite to the last with creative execution displayed in every course. The views are an amazing bonus to this immaculate experience, can’t recommend it enough.

Mono Inn is One of the Best Restaurants around. Chef Jason prepared a delicious menu for me and my date – lobster risotto with scallops, gnocchi pasta and filet mignon. For dessert it was lava cake with whip creme and blue berry dust. Yum!! Special note, the bar selection was excellent – slane whiskey was my go to but they’ve got a great craft cocktail list. I was lucky enough to meet the owners Hillary and Thomas and they were both welcoming and knowledgeable. Overall, Everything was excellent and I cant wait to come back to this hidden gem on the shore of Mono lake!
