Amazing food...STUNNING view . Come for the early seating otherwise it’s too dark to enjoy the view & thats half of what makes the place so special.

Elyse Estrada

Perfect for sunset if it's not cloudy. The bread is perfectly warm and delicious. Beef tenderloin is ????

When you stay at Big Sur’s breathtaking Post Ranch Inn , you can sample black cod with caviar beurre blanc on a cliff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Not bad. Read more

Mark Munro

Fantastic burger and fries . Ricotta and chocolate cake were outstanding. Lunch seems like a better value than dinner .

Ole B

Fine Dinning with views ! Service is impeccable. Lunch is amazing time to enjoy the views and food!

Ty Diedrick

If you're in Big Sur and want to splurge a bit, this is your place. Unparalleled views and great food. Lamb was the best course of the lunch . Highly recommended.

AmateurConcierge

The chefs tasting dinner is good, but not great for the price. The breakfast , however is damn near unbeatable and has the best views

Daniel Howells

Is expensive but overall, worth it; extremely good food. They really handled my girlfriend's vegetarian and gluten free request very well .

Alyssa Bereznak

came for the lunch prix fixe menus with wine pairings . classically californian with a few creative twists. can't beat that view .

Heléne Björkman

You can't beat the view and together with great food this is a must when visiting Big sur

Jacinte Faria

Holy smokes! What a perfect lunch . Great portions in the prix fixe . Cocktails are strong.

Brooke Bonwell

They change their menu every day. It's a tasting menu which was different and had you try more from the menu. The view was unbelievable.

Jen Pollack Bianco

Don't miss the house cured salmon at breakfast .. Or the stargazing from the patio after dinner .

Caroline Black

Beautiful view and unique menu. The corn chowder was my favourite - am still craving it weeks later!

Lana Chan

The 9 course pre fixe lasts 3-3.5 hours. Book your reservation for 5:30 and you'll be able to enjoy the sunset at Sierra Mar

Adrienne L

Amazing views , excellent food and drink, and impeccable service .

Uncle Fishbits

You can have the entire tasting menu delivered to YOUR ROOM. The distance from plating to room is short , it is tantamount to sitting in Sierra Mar. Try a romantic meal in your room if there a few days

Winnie Francisco

Gorgeous views of the Big Sur! Excellently prepared dishes for food lovers.

Stellaa Duhart

The view was amazing, and their 3 course lunch menu was superb.

Guillo ...

Excellent. $125 tasting menu . Dig it.

Arianna Sanders

I'd pay $55 just to see this view . And they'll give me lunch with that? Amazing.

Danya Barrow

Awesome service. Definately get a table by the windows to eat with a beautiful view .

Jeff Weinstein

One of the best views I can imagine, someplace to go celebrate. Maybe go for lunch .

SeeMonterey

Unbeatable cuisine and views ! Breakfast is only open to inn guests. Lunch and dinner are available to outside guests with reservations .

Rik Bracho

Good views , not so great food. Expensive and overall not for demanding palates. Too much fancy bullshit to impress and the food is average with good presentation.

Howard Cho

Amazing views . Inventive Californian cuisine

Ogi Kavazovic

Excellent service , and everything was really good

Jeremy Wood

Amazing..do the Sat/Sun lunch special and if sunny..sit outside!

olivier PEYRE

Ask to be seated in a booth .

Carla K

Try the lamb shank and the oysters . Anything here is fantastic.

Cansu

Not only we were unfortunate enough to book dinner on a rainy & foggy night (so, no view ), but the service was terrible as well . Food was good, but not great. Thinking it’d probably better for lunch ..

Mark Cho

The views are obvious but the food is much better than ventana inn !

If you're not super hungry you can share the 3 course lunch menu

Jen Pollack Bianco

Don't miss the John Steinbeck letter framed on the wall.
