One of the few restaurants on the rim serving an excellent dinner. Reservations are a must. The atmosphere is a bit tired and the park service does a poor job maintaining the facility with windows that needed cleaning and peeling paint on the sashes. The meals were good. I had an appetizer and salad - both were good. The generous portion of salmon for the main course was excellent and the side of cactus caviar was refreshing with small flavorful peppers. This restaurant does not have the views of the canyon like the lodge at the North Rim.

Look it's not the best steakhouse ever but 3.6 stars is clearly low. You get a fantastic view, attentive polite service, old fashioned free bread, a well appointed room, bison steak cooked perfectly, good soups (not too salty), and a fair price ($75 fora three course meal and $9-16 for wine). On the downside, the fries were under salted and the desserts were atrocious. (As in worse than Sara Lee's). Four stars plus.

overall score: B- order: french onion burger this burger was good but it definitely was not what i was expecting after reading the ingredients. i did not taste any caramelized onions at all and to be completely honest, it just taste like a regular burger. the fries were good though. there was nothing bad about the burger, it just felt a little misleading.. service: service was good. the server was very attentive and checked up on us frequently. ambiance: the room is a little dim. it can be hard on the eyes for some. it is very spacious inside. to find the dining room, go through the main entrance of the hotel and just walk straight.

Amazing food, we are very impressed with their Christmas dinner! Amazing sunset view of Grand Canyon and great service, the waiters made us feel at home

We had an amazing breakfast here. I ordered the Pistachio Waffle, which was absolutely incredible. The pistachio taste was the perfect balance with the pomegranate whipped cream, and the berries were so fresh and delicious. It was a hit for everyone who tried it. My dad ordered the Huevos Rancheros, which I didn't try but he said were very good. The servers were super nice and our food was out quickly. The decor is very fitting too. We made a reservation ahead of time and had no issues.

Large picture windows provide a great view of the south rim while dining. The dining room is a step back to 'rustic elegance' of the 1910's. Beautiful dark wood, comfortable seating. Service is really first rate. The food is comfortable and hearty. A truly great dining experience to add to a visit to the canyon.

Plan ahead and make reservations for the main Restaurant. Breakfast is wonderful and Dinner is delecious. If you don't have reservations, Harvey House is a 6 minute walk and offers a full menu. The lounge is available on a first come, first serve, but it's menu is basic and you are not allowed to order off the main menu. The server and server assistants all wear tuxedo shirts and black bow ties. The Dinning Room is very dated ( by design ) as an homage to the history of the building. There are chef specials every meal and the prices are what I would expect in a high end restaurant. We were lucky enough to have pancakes for breakfast and buffalo and elk for dinner.

Any adventure to the south rim of The Grand Canyon a must stop at the El Tovar if not staying to experience something like a time capsule of the west or just to get a bit to eat for breakfast I use to get the blackened breakfast trout, but they changed how they prepare it and it's not as good, so I moved on to a simpler selection to pay homage to Fred Harvey and the Harvey girls of the past I went with the following this adventure. Harvey House Breakfast: A+ Two Eggs any style with your choice of bacon, Ham, House made Pork Sauage or Turkey sausage with Breakfast Potatoes or Fresh Fruit & Choice of Toast (Appeared on El Tovar Breakfast Menu 1914) I always say everyone needs to stay at the El Tovar at least once as a bucket list adventure it always different each time with new experiences each time watching deer eat well stand on the deck of the El Tovar with no one around is priceless.

We dined here for dinner and breakfast when we stayed at El Tovar. We initially had been hesitant about attending for dinner since it was fairly pricey and the menu was nice, but nothing especially unique. However, I'm so glad we ended up eating here! I had the Peppercorn Steak and my boyfriend had the Lamb Loin. I enjoyed my steak and it was seasoned perfectly! The potatoes on the side were nothing special, so I'd consider trying the rice pilaf instead. My boyfriend absolutely loved the Lamb Loin (and he did sub the rice and was pleased). The service was amazing for dinner and we had such a wonderful time that we decided to come for breakfast the next day! For breakfast, we dined from their preset "throwback" menu celebrating El Tovar's 120 anniversary. They had a special selection of items that were similar to the recipes from 120 years ago! I had the Chipped Beef and my boyfriend had the Bacon Wrapped Liver! They were both so unique and unlike anything we had ever tried before! Again, our server was amazing! The ambiance is unbeatable, the service is incredible and the food is tasty.
