About Us

• The Blue Heron Restaurant opened its doors in 2001 at the Clubhouse in Yosemite Lakes Park under the leadership of Chef David Pol. The Blue Heron quickly rose to prominence as one of the best restaurants in the Coarsegold area. The Blue Heron is an intimate, relaxed upscale restaurant featuring globally inspired cuisine sourced ethically from our Valley and beyond. The Blue Heron is committed to maintaining a strong agricultural and economic community. We believe deeply that we must play an active role in the stewardship of our planet. The abundance of small family farms in the San Joaquin Valley allows us to stay connected to the source of what we eat. Whenever possible, we purchase seasonal, regionally grown products. If we cannot source a menu item locally, we strive to purchase from farms and ranches committed to sustainable farming practices. ------ Whether you’re hungry and thirsty after a long day panning for gold or just wandering around our spectacular Sierras, the Yosemite Grill has great food and spirits for you to enjoy in our lakeside setting.
