The 17 Best Restaurants In Mammoth

"Even though the dress code and atmosphere are pretty casual, Petra’s Bistro & Wine Bar is one of our favorite places to see and be seen in Mammoth. Located across the street from The Village inside the Alpenhof Lodge, it’s one of our go-to special occasion spots to split some grilled octopus, get a bottle from their extensive wine list, and order a plate of tangy cheesecake with blueberry sauce for dessert. Settle yourself at a table that overlooks Minaret Road, and soak in the friendly service that’s attentive but not too over the top. Make a reservation for Petra’s at least a week in advance, but if you can’t get in, check out Clocktower Cellar, Petra’s sister whiskey bar next door where you can play pool or foosball and watch sports on the flat screens." - danielle bauter
