Dining options in Death Valley are limited. While we were not staying at the Inn, we chose to go there for dinner, hoping for an upscale meal.
I’m still not clear on whether we were refused admittance to the restaurant because we weren’t staying there or not, but they claimed didn’t have space for us, even though the restaurant was clearly less than half full.
We were invited to sit in the bar and eat. Eating in the bar still lets you order off the full menu. The tables were small and eating in the bar seats was awkward. Our server was fabulous and made up for the attitude we received from the hostess.
Food was decent. Dessert was amazing!

This was my best dining experience at a National Park Restaurant. It was easy to make a reservation, and we were seated at the right time. Our server was excellent.
The menu, had vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, Some local beers, and mixed drinks, and great apps (loved the Brussels sprouts). I rarely get chicken, but it was delicious (and all moist). They even gave complementary walnut date bread with the check!
The atmosphere is really nice – It does take you back to an older, simpler time. We were staying, at the ranch property, across the street, but our glad we made a reservation here!!

Breakfast was really good, and we only had a burger for lunch here one day. Both with really great service!
We did not eat diner here, because meals were crazy expensive and choices were weird. (I know personal opinion)

Considering the fact that this is an oasis in the middle of the absolute desert, it is more impressive than one would expect. The ambiance and food were just average for what you may expect in a big city, but it was a welcome relief from the heat and dust of the desert. We enjoyed our dinner and then moved to the bar for a nightcap. Friendly service and glad we experienced it

Disappointed. For a $200 meal (one salad, one starter, two meals, and two drinks) we were disappointed. Sat for 10 minutes near the end of our meal with empty water glasses and never did get a refill. Would have liked more bread, but once our food was served, nobody ever checked back with us. When I made the reservation online, I noted that we were celebrating a birthday. After we were seated I asked the hostess if they do anything special for birthdays. I was told we’d get a free dessert and that they would be sure to let our server know. Never received a dessert of any kind. We will not return or recommend to anyone.

After reading so many horror stories of food in Death Valley, I was expecting such a different experience! You’re in the middle of nowhere, you must expect the price to reflect that, so I can’t fault them there. The fact that they had vegan options more imaginative than a sad salad and fries was promising. The pasta Primavera was nice – it was light, fresh, and garlicky, but the chipotle basil pesto pasta was the stand out entree to me. It was a little spicy, flavorful, and unique. There was a third vegan option, but it was beet-based and I’m not a beet person so can’t speak to that. When they came around with warm rolls and butter, we asked them to remove the butter since we’re vegan and Dani came back unprompted with olive oil so we could dip our bread. That was thoughtful! Moises provided fabulous service and along with Michelle sang the praises of the poached pear with vegan vanilla gelato, though neither is vegan. It was incredible! I only wished there was a little more pear. There aren’t a lot of options for food in Death Valley, especially for vegans, but this is a place I would choose to go to outside of Death Valley.

We had a wonderful meal in the Dining Room. The staff was friendly and very professional. The decor and feel matches the rest of the Inn at Death Valley, historic and sophisticated.
Our dinner was excellent. My steak was cooked and seasoned exactly the way I wanted it. The meat was tender and among the best I’ve had. We mentioned we would share the spinach and Frisee salad and the server served it on separate plates for us. Very nice.
We also ate breakfast in the Dining Room with the same high quality experience. Highly recommended.

Lunch is reasonably priced, fish and chips are pretty good. There is a dress code for dinner.

We stayed at the Inn at Death Valley and of course, there’s no other restaurants around. Like captives, we are stuck with eating in the dining room. We didn’t realize that reservation is necessary, and the first night, the dining room was doubly busy because their sister hotel Ranch at Death Valley was short staffed and had to close. So all their patrons came to our dining room as well. Although it was very cold, we agreed to sit outside as that was the only way we could have a table. The waiter was very helpful and set up the table for us even though the outside section was closed. We had Seared Halibut sautéed in Miso Butter on a bed of Creamy Polenta, with Broccolini, and Yuzu Soy Reduction. It was very good. The breakfast server wasn’t has courteous to me anyways, may be because of my gluten free problem. We both ordered steel cut oats. My partner ordered fruit and date bread as well. I had problems with my steel cut oats. We made reservations for dinner. The dining room was not open for lunch. For our evening meal, we ordered Grilled Salmon, and Ariline Chicken Breast. I had the chicken breast, and it was one of the driest and most over-cooked deep fried chicken I had. The baked sweet potato was OK, The broccolini was tough. I’m really glad we only stayed for three nights as we’ve tried everything we could possibly order since we don’t eat red meat. The halibut and salmon is a 4.3 stars, my chicken is a 1 star, date bread is 4 stars, my steel cut oats was 1 star. The service on the first night was exceptional, 5 stars, the service at breakfast was 2 stars, and the service for the second night was a 3 stars.
