I must apologize for coming off as rude especially it’s the holidays. I just wanted to say my honest opinion, that the restaurant was not for everybody. And it’s not about the cost.
If one would like a hearty meal after a day of exploration in the national park, speaking from my experience, this is unlikely the place to find your fulfillment. However, if you are seeking a ‘fancier’ experience in an area with limited choices and wouldn’t mind having two bites worth of food in your plate and then waiting 15minute for the next course, then go about!
How does historically claimed location influence the positioning of the restaurant? Provide good quality meals with reasonable prices like it had been, or fancy it up for the fame? I can only say that as a visitor that are expecting the high end restaurant experience (as price charged), it’s hard to be impressed.
I still remember the night after three months because I was excited about the kaiseki menu and all the original flavors with your local spin. Disappointedly, every dish it presented was opposite of kaiseki by over-treating and especially over-flavoring the food. I left with an impression confused what the purpose of setting up the menu as so.
We also left the restaurant feeling hungry and craved a cheeseburger like never before.
Mono InnResponded on 19 December 2024We are so sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.
Unfortunately, we were not informed of this on the evening of your visit so that we could remedy the situation immediately, but rather 3 months after your visit.
Chef Jason is inspired by Kaiseki, the Japanese multi-course style of preparing local, seasonal foods with specific cooking techniques.
He takes great care and extensive preparation when creating his menus.
At Mono Inn, we strive to provide a truly unique dining experience, excellent service, and a thoughtful beverage program in our elegant 102-year-old historical dining room.
We would love the opportunity to serve you again.
Please feel free to contact us directly to arrange this with the owner.
