Restaurants near El Capitan

Absolutely excellent! The service was beyond wonderful, the food was fantastic and the ambiance with a grand piano and concert pianist was perfect! They handled gluten free dining beautifully and made me completely comfortable.

We have been wanting to try the Branch for a while and finally had the opportunity to do so. We kept hearing positive things and wanted to see for ourselves. They did not disappoint! From being greeted when walking in, to the service throughout our dinner, it was amazing. But the best of all was the food. I am not sure what Matt does to prepare his dishes better than anyone else, but he does it! Our food was amazing! With the closeness of the tables, we were able to speak and compare with others and we all said the same thing. It did not matter what people ordered for dinner, they were all completely satisfied. We will definitely be back as often as possible!

We love this restaurant and eat here annually. Over three nights we ate all the vegetarian items on the menu--quinoa-lentil stuffed squash, portabella mushroom burger, soup, salads, mushroom pasta, burrata, even mocktails (mango is best) and vegan dessert, an ice cream sandwich. The staff is lovely, friendly, and helpful; the room, with high ceilings and great artwork is perfect. It's a fitting ending to a day outdoors.

My family and I loved everything about Embers. The food. The warm welcoming from our host/waitress. The coziness dinning area. My hubby and I did the wine paring and it was great. Everything was amazing and delicious. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

Very nice dinner, early so rather noisy with children. Server was very smart and held off to place the entrée order since my salad was large, ended up more than I could finish. Saved me money and I really appreciated the attention to detail. Thank you
