New to Mariposa so we're trying the restaurant options for the first time. Yelp does not disappoint. Service, food, ambiance, this place has it all. Casual dining, hubby had the prime rib, I had Chicken Alfredo. We will definitely be back.
Cozy atmosphere, good food and lovely service. The lemon yogurt salad dressing is fab!
Best part is the friendly service, which we found particularly lacking during this visit to Mariposa. Everyone that helped us was welcoming and helpful. My husband and I came for dinner on a Saturday night and were able to her seated right away. We each ordered the specials, which comes with a soup or salad. I tried the french onion which had a rich broth and a nice gooey cheese on top. My husband got the clam chowder, side note, it has bacon in it. The food itself was good, especially after a long day of hiking in Yosemite. This place is on the pricier side and other than the 2 specials we ordered nothing else on the menu really caught our eyes. The interior is very wooden and old timey.
Service was excellent! Food was good, alot of options Super comfortable atmosphere, we had a party of 9 on New years eve, they took great care of our family
On one of the our weekend getaways and if you are ever in Mariposa this restaurant is worth visiting. The food was delicious and I found the ambiance so romantic. The staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.
It's odd to say that the veggies were the highlight of my meal at a place that serves steaks but that just goes to show that Charles Street Dinner House does everything right. We were craving steak after a day of hiking and was able to get table as walk-ins. Got their prime rib dinner and new york steak, both medium rare as we asked. Their french onion soup was a comforting dish, lovely broth and great flavor. Sometimes every side at a steakhouse is covered in cream or cheese or butter of if it's seasonal vegetables, they have been cooked within an inch of their limpy lives. Not at Charles Street - sides were not an afterthought. The sauteed veggies were light, crisp and well seasoned, not overcooked at all. Baked potatoes were really fluffy and indulgent. Overall a very enjoyable dinner.
I really enjoy this sort of oldtimey style steakhouse. I highly recommend reservations, it get busy as there's not to many restaurants in the area. Also you have a 15 minute window before they give someone waiting your table. We had the mushroom appetizer, was in a beef broth, broth is on the salty side but dipping my toasted bread in it was delicious. We ordered cocktails and they were strong. The paloma was surprisingly easy to drink and I'm not a grapefruit fan. Their menu stays the same, the prices change. They do have their specials written in the white board by the hostess. We ordered the specials prime ribs with a baked potato and the broccoli cheddar soup. Prime ribs was perfection, not to fatty but an enjoyable amount. The mushrooms in it were not the same as the appetizer ones. They had more of a white wine flavor & not salty. Baked potato was great. The broccoli cheddar soup was rich. Very thick and creamy not overtly cheesy flavored, better than most I've had for sure. I got the chicken Alfredo with a salad. Very creamy garlicky and cheesy. Very delightful. I highly recommend this place.
For this restaurant I will give 5 star cause the food was very taste and The best one in the restaurant is the French onion soup. The service is very nice to us too. Last I fell very clean in this restaurant but I'm not sure how the restroom likes.
