Reviews for The Elderberry House in Oakhurst, CA
Quick Summary Fantastic service from start to finish with excellent food and cocktails. Fantastic spot if you're craving a "fine... dining" experience at Oakhurst Food- 5 stars They come with a tasting menu and give you the option for a 3 or 4 course menu. Weordered the 4 course menu to try everything out. Broccoli soup- this was fantastic. Probably the best dish of the night.Perfectly balanced and really liked the touch of chili oil to round out the dish Caviar- this was good. Lower end caviar alwaysis! Great value here Ribeye- this was cooked perfectly. I just thought the reduction was a tad bit sweet, which is why I likedthe elk better Elk- this was fantastic. Liked it more than the ribeye, especially because of the sweet potato puree Namelaka-dessert was fantastic. Very balanced and not too sweet. Enjoyed every bite Spiced carrot torte- same as above. I liked bothdesserts and would suggest just to get the dessert that sounds more appetizing to you Drinks- 5 stars Irish maid- reallyenjoyed this cocktail. Extremely refreshing, especially after a long hike in Yosemite Elderberry sour- their version of the ginsour. Very delicious, balanced, and light Service- 5 stars Service was excellent from start to finish.

We did the 3 course meal with the wine pairing. The food is amazing. Excellent service Would love to go back
I had the incredible opportunity to stay at the Chateau with my husband for two nights - both nights we ate here. Being fairly... knowledgeable foodies, we were floored by every aspect of our dining experience. First of all, it is worth mentioning that thewait staff seemed to know how to do EVERYTHING, from serving to pouring to intensely knowing every aspect of the menu by heart.(We even saw one of the staff making the delicious cocktails in the bar area!) We were very impressed to know that one of thepeople serving was the Somme, whose wine pairings were thoughtful and elegant. Overall, we really loved the staff’s attentionto detail and think they deserve their own applause. As for the food - we thought everything was executed perfectly. I have somuch I can say. The plating for every dish was artfully balanced and delicate. The amuse-bouche was different both nights anddelightfully creative. Primarily, though, the classic dishes that we had both nights - salmon, scallops, and then the ribeyewere all as good as you could possibly have them. I would dare to say that this was the best scallop dish I ever had. We lovedthe creative accompaniments to the dishes like the sage beignets to the salmon. Our complements go out to the chef and I hope hereceives them! Great experience overall. (Also the hotel is amazing as well!) Thank you to the Elderberry team for a lovelytime - we will be back!

Elderberry Restaurant is a great place to have dinner. Their wine selection is plentiful for all spending levels. The menu... changes often as it's based off of the fresh ingredients available. The menu is done as a set course and you have the choice of3 or 4 servings. I went with the 4 as the menu descriptions were amazing and honestly I wanted to try everything!! My favoritesthings were the crab cake (it was so delicious and the roumalade that accompanied was mouth watering) and the Meyer lemon cremebrulee (perfect blend of tart and sweet without an over powering lemon flavor). Their atmosphere is perfectly romantic, cozy,well lit and comfortable. After a few bottles of wine the noise level can be elevated but over all this is the perfect place todine and a must visit while in Oakhurst! Read more

Had a lovely post-engagement dinner. We were seated by the window facing the front and the ambiance was perfect. The staff was... attentive and made the event memorable for both of us. We both agreed that the squash soup was the best soup we have ever had. Read more
