Skadi

First time trying this restaurant and we were so pleasantly surprised. The quality of food and service is not just exceptional for Mammoth but rivals the fine dining experience you would find at a Micheline star restaurant. You can tell how much passion the owner puts into the space and every dish. We enjoyed our dinner so much that the next day we returned just for desert. I could not recommend this place more. Order the crème brûle it is incredible!

Excellent food! The wines are delicious. Every course was truly delightful. The service was exceptional and the chef was very welcoming. It was so wonderful we are returning tomorrow for an encore!

Best dining experience we had on this trip. Hamachi appetizer plate has a lot of flavors. The mushroom crepe was also delicious. My daughter loved her salmon plate.

Highly recommended. The ambiance and attention to detail was very appealing. Our server, Laura, was superb. My partner and I split several options so we could try more items on the menu. The complexity and flavor of the options was impressive. The presentation artful. The wine selection was splendid. Chef Ian made a point to visit our table which was a beautiful and intimate touch. Well done! Thank you for a memorable and sophisticated dinner experience. I can’t wait to return.

The chef seems nice and food was very good. Service and enthusiasm of employees is lacking. They did not bring one of the dishes we ordered and no one seemed all that concerned. We were celebrating a birthday and no one seemed to care. One person intended to return in five days and hostess did not really care to make a reservation. This is about the 5th time we have been here over the years and new locstion and staff are sad.

From start to finish, not a single false note. Perfect mastery of the atmosphere, cooking and seasoning. Thank you again for this wonderful experience.

THE BEST meal in Mammoth. We came here on Christmas Eve. Having been to many fine dining restaurants, we were still surprisingly amazed by Skadi. Food was phenomenal, vibe was immaculate, and service was impeccable. Very reasonably priced compared to similar restaurants in LA. The chef was super fun and down to earth, very obviously proud and passionate about his creations and was eager to share his knowledge with us. We sat at the chef’s counter with an open kitchen right in front of us and loved watching the kitchen staff prep every dish. This intimate fine dining restaurant super close to the Village serving Nordic cuisine is exactly what we need after a cold and exhausting day on the slopes! Would 100% recommend!

Please don’t get fooled by the hype of “we’re always booked” or “you need a reservation two weeks in advance.” This restaurant simply doesn’t live up to the reputation. The food and service were so poor that I genuinely don’t understand how they’re still in business. Do yourself a favor—there are plenty of great places to eat in Mammoth that actually care about quality and service. From the moment we sat down, it was obvious the staff had no clue what they were doing. Most of them seemed like they were just there to collect a paycheck, with zero enthusiasm. Our server didn’t even know the menu—despite the fact that it hasn’t changed in over three years. He couldn’t explain any of the dishes. We placed our order right away: the Venetian and deer heart for appetizers, duck and pork for the mains. They dropped off a basket of bread and butter and then disappeared. It sat there untouched for over 30 minutes with no one checking in—not even to see if we wanted more wine, even though both of our glasses had been empty for half an hour. Then the same server shows up and starts serving us soup. Soup we never ordered. When I told him, he just took it back to the counter, cleaned the bowl, and served it to another table—with zero apology. That was shocking. Fifteen more minutes went by with still no wine service. Finally, the appetizers arrived. The Venetian was extremely dry—a cracker from Vons with a bit of jam. No flavor. The deer heart was also dry, paired with cheap-tasting jams that might as well have come from the dollar store. Completely bland. Another 30 minutes passed before the main courses showed up. The duck was overcooked, paired with sides that made no sense and didn’t complement the dish at all. The pork was flavorless and came with sides that were just as tasteless. The presentation of both dishes looked outdated and uninspired. From start to finish, the entire experience was a disappointment. We were expecting something special and ended up with something barely passable. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the wine and the fact that we were already in a good mood, we would have walked out after the first 30 minutes of waiting. I truly don’t understand how this place is booked out or how it doesn’t have far more negative reviews. Total disappointment.

Skadi moved to a new location on Main Street in the relatively new Sierra Emperia hotel. Their venue just off the main lobby is a great improvement over their last location in an industrial park off the town center. Ian, the owner, transferred all their Scandinavian artwork and motifs to create a very airy and inviting restaurant The food continued to be outstanding! Every dish you need to eat slowly to savor, enjoy and appreciate the nuances of the contrasting flavors. The duck and scallops are standouts in the varied and great menu. Service is competent and friendly. Wine service is also excellent with fair prices for the various wines. Don't miss this restaurant while in Mammoth. It is hands down the best! Book well in advance because they sell out just about every night.

A very lovely and tasty experience in Mammoth Lakes. The service was good and very attentive. Skadi is a very nice modern elegant and fine Alpine dining alternative. Its Norwegian cuisine and decorative elements reminded me of my travels to Northern Europe. We ordered the scallops, chicken risotto, fig salad, and porcini mushroom crepe. The scallops and its accoutrements were tasty, especially the puréed cauliflower. My partner thought her chicken was delicious, but she raved about the risotto. And the complimentary bread and the accompanying browned butter were delightful. I would definitely make an effort to return on subsequent trips to Mammoth Lakes.

I was not expecting such an exceptional dining experience during a Mammoth ski vacation, but Skadi was wonderful. We loved every dish. We had the crepes, gravlax, smoked trout, venison sausage, corn/potato/leek soup, chicken breast, duck breast, pork trio of confit/tenderloin/sausage, salmon, chocolate dessert tasting, caramelized mac nut parfait, and gateau financier. The standouts for me were the venison sausage and chicken breast. The flavors, textures, and plating were gorgeous. Chef Ian and his staff were warm and attentive. We will be back. Hopefully soon.

Skadi was by far the best fine dining experience we've had in Mammoth so far. Chef Ian was there and even brought out some of our plates and explained everything in detail. The hamachi tartare and lemon panna cotta were standouts. The hand carved wooden butter knives were a lovely touch. The interior was warm and well lit - if it weren't for some noisy neighbors at the next table, it would have been a pretty perfect dinner. We'll be back to try some more adventurous dishes like the smoked deer heart and maybe the duck.

Excellent meal here for our anniversary. Lots of couples celebrating. I had the perfectly cooked and curated scallops, DH had the duck breast. Oh the joy of well-prepared food! The salad was fine - nothing to write home about - the beets lacked flavor and I personally grow weary of cheesy salad. The gravlax was amazing and we loved that. We enjoyed our wine, too. A lovely pinot noir. Good pairing for him and I can't resist a pinot noir. Then back to our escape at Tamarack Lodge.

We celebrated our 29th anniversary at Skadi. We were welcome at the door by Ian. The service and food is amazing. We had the mushroom crêpe, little gem salad, and the scallops, all the dishes were awesome. I can't say enough about the service, it was beyond anything I've ever experienced. Definitely recommend and will return, well done.

Just had an excellent dinner with my family at Skadi. Love the Scandinavian decor and menu options! We had Lamb shanks, deer heart and the salmon which were prepared to perfection. The chef does a great job stopping at the tables making recommendations an explaining the ingredients. This was our third visit and we will keep coming back to Skadi as the culinary highlight of our ski trips.

The food is delicious as always! The new location is very reminiscent of the iterations. The menu also seems to be the same. But hey! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Skadi's is a wonderful meal and experience all around.

Went with my honey today for my birthday; Ian is the absolute best and the service is incredible. The food is amazing, the staff is very kind, and the restaurant is beautiful. If I could give this place more stars I would, our experience couldn't have been better. They took such great care of us. :) Also, the vanilla bean crème brûlée was the best I've ever had.

My husband, brother and I came here for dinner on a Friday night in December 2023 while we were visiting Mammoth Lakes. I'd seen reviews of Skadi saying that reservations were necessary, so I texted their number a week before coming and was able to get a reservation, though they had limited times. We came at our scheduled time and were seated immediately. The restaurant has an understated, rustic chic vibe that feels elegant at the same time. Our server was professional and efficient and gave us some recommendations. The three of us ordered some appetizers to share, one main each, and also shared the creme brulee and lemon panna cotta for dessert. Everything we had was perfect and flavorsome, as well as satiating. I'd highly recommend visiting for a nice dinner if you're in Mammoth Lakes, and will be dining here again whenever I come back.

Best meal in Mammoth. The service was friendly and food was delicious! The salmon was cooked to perfection, the hamachi app was also a highlight. This was a great place to catch up with family, not too stuffy but more elevated than most of the restaurants in Mammoth. With apps, dessert, bottle of wine and entree ran about $100 per person (group of 6). Will definitely return when I'm back in the area!

Enjoyed a really exquisite meal here for my wife birthday . We sat in a charming throne table and decided to try new things. Started with an outstanding wild mushroom crepe that is crisped just right . Wife finally dies not care for crepes but the sauces and texture were fantastic, more like a crepe layer cake. The scallops with cauliflower puree was fantastic, as was the potato cooked in duck con fit. I had the venison sausage with corn cakes and fresh huckleberries which was a really light tasty sausage that was my first venison experience and I lived it. Unfortunately my duck breast was too well done, med well, which never should happen but that's ok we still had a great time.

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Skadi and were completely blown away. The flavors, the presentation, the warm service, everything was perfect. Highlights: the Smoked Red Deer Heart with Cloudberries & Spruce Salt (wildly good), the Hamachi appetizer, the Canadian Duck Breast with Lingonberries, and the Duroc Pork Belly with Spiced Tenderloin & Jagerwurst, every dish was beautifully balanced and memorable. We ended with the Lemon Panna Cotta, which was bright, creamy, and the perfect finale. Chef Ian and Manager Chris made us feel like family. Skadi is a true Mammoth gem - We can't wait to come back!

A wonderful experience! We opted for 4 appetizers, first two cold then two hot: gravlax, smoked trout, then mushroom and Jarlsberg cheese crepes, venison sausage on corn cakes with wild Maine blueberries-- all delicious, but I could eat the latter every day for breakfast! We had a couple of glasses of the Trefethen Chardonnay--which paired nicely with the dishes. This meal was quite filling. It's a relatively small space and it was fully booked tonight, an off-season weeknight, (so glad we reserved several days ago). The Chef/Proprietor Ian Algeroen constantly works in the open kitchen while also visiting every table regularly to check in on his devoted customers--clearly he knew many of them and they knew others in the room, so it's clearly a local favorite. Service was warm and professional by his team. It was a little tricky to find the restaurant since the hotel in which it is located has a Main Street address but is actually set back quite a bit from the street. However there was ample free parking. And guess what? The chef also hand carves the traditional wooden butter knives!

CLOSED FOR BREAKFAST permanently as of 2/24/25. But dinner is still open Wed-Sunday and excellent as always

We didn't have reservations here planned but managed to get in at the last minute from calling the restaurant a couple times during our time in Mammoth. It seems to be a Scandinavian themed restaurant based on some of the menu items. The bread knife they provided during the bread service was a wooden knife hand carved by the head chef himself. The food here was really outstanding. My husband wanted to try one of the more exotic appetizers so we opted for one that had shaved deer heart on a cracker topped with a sweet jam. He ordered the duck breast and I opted for a very simple dish, chicken breast but it came topped over porcini mushroom and spinach risotto with Parmesan sea foam. I've never had chicken breast that tender and flavorful and the risotto mix was so rich and delicious! The whole experience was very delightful! We will be back the next time we are in town!

Dessert was the best part. For the price point we expected more of a flavorful experience. Service was amazing though.

Best fine dining in the eastern Sierra. Great attention to detail. Their location at the Empeiria High Sierra Hotel is a great improvement over the previous one.

Place is great. Just need to put the full 750 ml bottle of Billecarte Salmom Brut Rose' on the list. Pretty please?

The chicken dish was so amazing that we cannot fathom eating chicken again for awhile as it will surely not measure up to Skadi's. Every dish was spot on. I think you showed my better half the way of the Mission Fig. Delish in your salad with port dressing. Dinner here may be highlight of our trip! And oh the desserts. Save room!!!

Food is outstanding and service is very good. My favorite Mammoth Lakes restaurant. Only trouble some times is getting a reservation.

My husband and I took our Daughter to dinner here, she picked Skadi out to eat. It's a small city restaurant. It's an upscale restaurant, one of the best in Mammoth. We ordered two appetizers with our entree. It's near the Village so it's close to shops , restaurants etc The food was outstanding, definitely recommend dining here. We had great service while we dined.

Excellent food and service. The Ambiance was super! A gem in Mammoth! Highly recommended!

Make sure to make reservations in advance! I saw at least three parties get turned away because they couldn't accommodate them. Reservations are made by texting them but be assured it's legit. It's so nice to have a unique fine dining option in Mammoth. The restaurant is a small, cozy venue with a ski lodge vibe. We grabbed a table, which was quieter and more private, but next time I think I'll try the counter view to see the kitchen action. The food was well presented and very flavorful overall. Starting with apps, we tried the gravlax, which was on the smaller portion but tasted nice. The ahi tuna tartare is basically like sushi in a shareable form with a bunch of furikake on top but still really nice. For mains, we had scallops and the venison medallions. The scallops were made perfectly, while the venison is good if you like gamier meats but it's still relatively tender for a lean meat. The best dish or surprise in my opinion was actually the dessert. We wanted something lighter to end the meal so went with the gateau financier with lychee sorbet and this was so tasty. We shared this dish but I could honestly eat the whole thing on my own. It's super unique with hints of fresh fruit and the pineapple with mint was such a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you want to change up the pace with something a little more upscale yet approachable.

Simply fantastic from start to finish. Great team, great food. The food felt at once innovative but also approachable. Perfect night in the middle of a ski week. Thank you to all!

A fabulous dining experience in Mammoth Lakes. The service was great. Skadi is a very nice modern elegant and fine Alpine dining alternative. Its Norwegian cuisine and decorative elements were perfect. The owner Ian was as always friendly and attentive. We thanked him personally for his dedication and professionalism.

We have been going since they first opened. Ware is now the mammoth Tavern. We just experienced our anniversary dinner for the 27th time with them in their new place. Three places later. Food was amazing. Service was amazing and I just can't tell you how much I love this place if you want a high-end restaurant, this is the best restaurant in this area!

We had a wonderful dining experience! Great food, excellent service & nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Exceptional and unique dishes! Outstanding service to match, all in a converted depot. Fun, eclectic deco, and simple but very neat table setting is putting the focus on the food. A fantastic evening!

Tucked away in a new location just off Main Street, the food is out of this world. The presentations are superb and the wines are well matched. Don't skip dessert with the choice of chocolates and lemon panna cotta that is unbeatable. Reservations are best made well in advance if possible.

My friends have been raving about Skadi, and I could not agree more. Now I understand why they always have to stop into Skadi. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, the ambience is very welcoming like eating a home cooked meal, and the staff is absolutely the best! Chef Ian was definitely the cherry on top! He is such a pleasure to speak with, and his passion for eating great food and serving amazing food is just an absolutely pleasure. I loved everything I tried and left with a huge smile on my face and a happy belly. Can't go wrong here! Just make sure to make reservations!

My sister surprised me and my step mom with a birthday dinner here on our trip to Mammoth! We enjoyed an amazing fine dining experience. Our waiter was so knowledgeable and extremely friendly.! Great food Great service Great wine AMAZING Panna Cotta!

My wife and I stumbled upon this place (via yelp) and managed to get a reservation "same day" due to a cancellation. We arrived when they opened and got to talk to chef Ian briefly - to learn some history of the place. We sat at the Chef's Counter and had a wonderful food - appetizers, salad, and mains. It was hard to choose from the menu - but we intend to come back and keep working through the options. The price point isn't cheap (especially for a "ski town"), but the food was amazing - worth the cost - and the portions were large enough that we didn't have room for dessert (will not make that mistake next time). Our server (Laura) was excellent - enough attention to keep us happy without being intrusive. We already have our next reservation for our trip back in March.

Was excited to have dinner at Skadi last Saturday night, but food was mediocore at best. Ordered the crepes, scallops and New York steak. The crepes were delicious and were the best part of our meal. The scallops had no pan seared crust and with a mushy texture. The New York steak had no sear, was lukewarm, no flavor and tough, not well marbled prime beef. The potatoes were very satisfying. The food was very overrated for the price. Lots of excellent reviews but our dinning experience was OK. The four days we spent in Mammoth Vulcania was our favorite restaurant!!

The entire experience was a 10/10 Ian the owner was so nice and thoughtful. All the staff were great as well. The food was delicious! And the overall vibe was great.

Restaurant Skadi serving the absolute Best Breakfast in Mammoth Lakes, CA! Wow! Not only is this Mammoth Lakes Premier Dining Establishment, but they are now serving the best food for an incredible Breakfast as well! These guys got it going on People! The food, the service and the ambiance in their new location is a must visit for either meal!

Food is always delicious. Ian does a great job and is very imaginative. It was sad to hear he had to move out of his secret spot by the village. Hopefully his new place will be bigger, as I'm looking forward to celebrating another grand opening with him.

Food was amazing as was service and ambiance. Wish they were open for my upcoming trip

Been going here for years. Really the only fine dining in mammoth, but even if it were in NYC or LA, the food is excellent. The servers are all extremely knowledge and have been working there for years. Chef Ian is always there and making sure everything is perfect. The menu hasn't changed since the first time I went five years ago, but why mess with perfection. New location has better parking and same sweet Nordic vibe. Reservations are a must. Definitely not a place to experience on a whim. My only regret is that this stellar review might make it more difficult for me to get a reservation next time.

Ambience: 2 Service: 5 Food: 3 My husband and I were excited to try this place. We had the Sashimi of Japanese Hamachi with Green Tea Soba Noodles, Edamame bean, scallion ginger, sriracha and tobiko for our starter. It was really fresh high quality yellow tail. It was outstanding. I also want to mention the freshly baked bread they served us was delicious, a bit crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My husband ordered the Roast Chicken Breast. I had the Day Boat Scallops. We didn't feel there was anything outstanding about either dish. They were good not outstanding. Both dishes were bland. Neither dish knocked us off our feet. At that price point it should be a party in your mouth as far as I'm concerned. We didn't say anything to our waiter about it because really what's the point. They make a point to let you know their chef is "crazy." Service was outstanding. They kept our glasses full and refilled our wine as necessary. We were given fresh utensils for each course. The ambience is really lacking at this place. No white linens, no candles on the tables and an awkward décor all around. The music was nice not too loud. I might go back for the yellow tail sashimi and a couple drinks but I would not do dinner there again.

100% the best dinners! The menu is always perfect with nightly specials. Our favorite mushroom soup (sounds much better when they explain it) was so great we can never pass it up! Mushroom crepe is my go to either as an appetizer or main course. My husband had the venison 2-ways so delish! Chef Ian is great and gracious and greets all his customers and makes them feel special! Love him! His staff is just as amazing and wonderful! Thank you for always remembering our crème brûlée

*Make reservations. It's a small restaurant that aims to please visitors versus trying to clear tables and maximize profits. I saw them turn people away at the door. Instructions for reservations are on the website. They ask you to text or email but we called and got through. We called at around 4PM and got a 715PM reservation (on a Thursday). However, this was right after the national forests closed so I'd imagine that demand was down. Superb. One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Also, I don't think I've ever been to a Nordic-inspired restaurant so that's new. MENU: Excellent. Multiple dishes to choose from including pescatarian and vegetarian options. The chef isn't a fan of substitutions and it's clear why. Each dish is masterfully crafted with a perfect blend of balanced ingredients. It's art - don't mess with it (unless you have allergies obviously). They also have a great selection of wine and beer. I tried a Nordic plum sour beer that was fantastic (Nøgne Ø Opal Skies). FOOD: Phenomenal. Everything is perfect. We tried the mushroom crepes (divine), smoked trout (superb), smoked red deer heart (unique and delicious), galantine of pheasant (amazing flavor combination), and the scallops (blown away; the texture was like butter). Finished it off with a yummy lemon panna cotta dessert. I almost forgot! The bread that comes with the meal is delicious but the butter that comes with the bread? Heavenly. Seriously, the texture is incredible. I had to ask for more. SERVICE: Great. The chef walks around and talks to all the diners. He's a nice guy and a pleasure to talk to. It's also an open kitchen so you get to see the care and work that goes into these dishes. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

I'm super happy that my husband booked this restaurant. It's probably the best meal I've had in a long time. Every single dish is well designed and executed, I can tell chef put a lot of efforts and study behind. We ordered 3 appetizers which are deer heart, mushroom crepe and today's special, which is like a gelatin mixed with duck, goose and pheasant, it's like a Russian-style ham I had before. Deer heart is the most impressive dish, the 4 layers are perfectly designed together to balance all the flavors in one bite. Mushroom crepe is super umami with the mushroom paste, slices and sauces all together. Jarlsberg cheese is so well to be the layers for mushrooms. Duck breasts are perfectly cooked, I love the German sauerkraut and raspberry sauce to garnish with it. The Swiss - German style dumplings are perfect to be the side. The dessert - Skadi's Chocolate Tastings, OMG, it's such a star to end the meal. All the chocolate desserts on that plate need to be treated seriously, because every single bite is so flavorful. There are so many things going on once you put it in your mouth. I can write a whole article about the foods here. But what you can do is just to book a reservation and come to try it out by yourself.

New location, same special food offerings. Love this restaurant. Great wine list and unusual menu items make for a memorable unique meal.

If you visit Mammoth - this is a must stop if you love food, excellent service, and a quiet but fine dining ambiance! Chef Ian and his team put on a culinary Cabaret here in Mammoth. I had the gravlax starter which had some of the best smoked salmon I have had - it melts in your mouth - not chewy! The mushroom tart is amazing - pls order it. It is like a cheese and mushroom cake. A fantastic idea! Had the sampler of meats: sausage, pork belly and tenderloin. All executed really well and the crisp on the pork belly was outstanding! Crispy salmon was a winner - did not stick to the pan, was evenly cooked and I felt like ordering another piece!

Yes, this restaurant has a billion reviews and they are all 5 stars, and I am here to tell you that they deserve every single one of the 5 star reviews. The food is magnificent. One thing we were advised to do, and I would like anyone reading this to also consider doing, is to BE ADVENTUROUS when you go there. The owner and chef is a Californian native but he shared with us that he has Norwegian ancestry, specifically from the Sámi people, which is an indigenous tribe living above the arctic circle. Some of his menu items (which we were so fortunate to try - the smoked red deer heart with cloudberries) are from that culture. It was SO delicious. In fact, everything we had, was amazing. We also had, at our server's recommendation, a Japanese hamachi and scallops small dish. It was fresh and flavorful. The great thing about Norway (at least, this is my takeaway) is that they KNOW FISH and seafood. The next small dish we tried was some savory crepes with mushrooms. I think this was my next favorite dish, next to the smoked deer heart. We also enjoyed the salad, which had the most unique pears either of us ever had. Afterwards, we were on the restaurant's Facebook and saw that the pears were made with Gløgg, "a Norwegian mulled wine with Aquavit, citrus, cinammon, cardamom, star anise and clove." Yum. Then we had our main entree, which was the Canadian duck breast. Our server recommended either the pork belly confit or the duck breast. I don't eat pork, so we went w/the duck. If you look through the reviews, this is one of the entrees people love, and for good reason. It was tender, flavorful, the skin was crispy, the sauce delicious. No Ikea lingonberries here ;) We also couldn't pass up dessert, and we had the frozen carmelized macadamia nut & vanilla bean parfait. If you need any proof that this was an epic dessert, just check out my photos :) All in all, this was one of the most memorable and delicious meals that I won't soon forget. Thank you Skadi!

First of all, Chris was a fantastic waiter! Chef personally came out and talked to us about his menu, what a nice man with an amazing vision!!! We started with a wild mushroom and Jarlsberg cheese crepe - may be the finest thing I've ever eaten. Salad with mozzarella cheese and dried tomatoes, amazing. Main courses were Canadian duck and pork belly sampler. Fantastic! Lastly we finished with creme brulee and the chocolate sampler pictured. All paired with a bottle of Pinot noir from the Russian River. Simply the best meal ever. If you have a special occasion, or just love great food, I highly recommend Skadi.

Overpriced mediocre food a lot more better places to eat or less money and better quality food
