Has anyone pre-booked dining at Chee ah chee or El Tovar?
I read on the boards that it was a good idea but Chee Ah Chee looks like it's unavailable and I am still more than 30 days out for El Tovar.
Will the guides have some reservations for us? I think at this point, I would just rather work through them and take my chances but would love to hear what others decided to do.
We did pre- book the El-Tovar on our own. It was well worth it for it does get quite busy. The food was very good IMO. There is a room off the main dining room with large picture windows that overlook the canyon. Very beautiful view. I do believe there was some reservations from the guides but not enough for everyone in the group. You do eat breakfast at the El Tovar and believe me it had quite large portions that keep you full for the day. There is also a cafeteria type restaurant by the hotel which has a lot of selections and the food also was pretty good.
