In the past, I've found some great food in California. Sadly on my most recent visit, in 2012, most of the places were pretty disappointing. Here are a few exceptions:
Sears Fine Food
‘Fine Food’ is pushing it, but Sears makes a fine breakfast pancake!

Drake's Beach Cafe
Great, very simple food in the Point Reyes National Seashore.3 I had the fried chicken with garlic fries and it was simply perfect.

The House of Beef
A steak house in Oakdale which more than lives up to its wonderful name! Yosemite seems to be a gastronomic desert (and I include the Ahwahnee in this) so ignore this place at your peril!
