Review of El Tovar Dining Room

We ate here for lunch one day in June. Make a reservation to be safe. This was a solid 4 stars. Service was a little slow but not absurd. Not a whole lot of gluten free options but they were good. The chili isn’t marked GF but it is when served without the corn muffins, and this was good. Served a bit lukewarm with melted cheese and onions on top, but taste was good and hearty. We also ordered the two entree salads, a Mediterranean entree and a harvest salad. The latter was superior and the dressing was pretty good. The Mediterranean one said it came with balsamic vinaigrette but was more like oil and vinegar. Both were medium portions, not huge. Overall it was a safe and pleasant dining experience, which I usually give 5 stars for. But I did 4 sheerly because it STUNK in there. Like the weirdest, sweatiest, melted chocolate and beef rotting in the sun with some grime and excrement smell. Nauseating.
