A restaurant that surprises by its quality in the desert landscape of Mono Lake. Built in 1922, it was for a long time a fashionable resort welcoming vacationers for musical evenings, fishing parties or boat trips. Today, the Mono Inn remains a good place to eat with a beautiful view of the lake, and a festive atmosphere on summer weekends (barbecue and live music). International cuisine, meat and fish. The menu changes regularly. It is the best place for miles around (which is rather deserted, of course).

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.

this place now has a high end fixed price menu. it is a little pricey at $85 but it is truly exceptional. we never expected something like this in Lee Vining. it couldn't have been better.

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!

Excellent food for a reasonable price. A must try spot if you’re in the area.

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.
