Header Diners rave about their Lakefront experience:

A quintessential Mammoth Lakes experience is having a meal at the Tamarack Lodge. Myself, and my husband have dined numerous times at this fantastic little place. You walk in through a long narrow hallway into a lovely little romantic, but classy setting. Our favorite is the mixed game plate and the venison is always superb. Make sure you listen attentively to the daily specials there you’ll find seasonal and local splendors...YUM! For dessert, we love to indulge in the delicious wild berry tart! Three cheers to an excellent wine list! Chef de Cuisine Frederic is always warm and friendly, and the wait-staff is great. We always recommend the Tamarack Lodge to our friends when they ask us for dinner places to go to in Mammoth. A definite must for anyone who’s never been there!
