Sierra Mar, Big Sur CA

Our car was soaked for whatever reason the valet said he will roll up the windows and he put both windows down.

The food and interior design was nice, servers were ok did not even explain about how their courses work had to figure out ourselves and ask them

Prices are steep, and you are paying for the view not the food. The view is great, but the prix fixe courses ranged from slightly tasty to almost nauseating (my girlfriend and I chose different selections for each course but had similar opinions about the quality).

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The views, the food, the atmosphere were all perfect. I’d happily come here again and try more from their menu!

I came for lunch $75 per person for fresh bread, a large variety of dips, salad, choice of entree (they have vegan options of beyond burger and silken tofu breaded like the cod) and dessert bite to satisfy the sweet tooth. Make a reservation in advance and arrive early to take the walk along the forest to the restaurant on the cliff! Valet parking with self-park lot option available. So delicious the food was incredible and I actually had to take some home for dinner, portions were great. Also the Big Sur VIEWS.

We visited Sierra Mar on Labor Day 2022 for our anniversary dinner. They were only offering a 4 course $150 pp price fixe menu. The portions were extremely small and the food was incredibly bad. We had a few cold, bland mussels and several uninviting pieces of octopus in ink for our first courses. The entrées consisted of fatty, stringy beef tenderloin and partially cooked duck. The views were awesome but the food was barely edible. We were very disappointed. On a positive note, the wine and desert were quite good.

Best meal we have enjoyed, maybe ever. The meal was fabulous, every single bite. The service was truly impeccable and the view of course was exactly what we had hoped for - enjoyed a wonderful 5 course meal together watching the sunset, feeling extremely pampered. Thank you!

It was so hot that day and the glare from the setting sun was unbearable we had to move several times and finally sit outdoors I didn't feel a great welcoming sense at the desk

Absolutely the best dining view in California! This was an extremely special experience! We were seated at an end table closest to the window overlooking the ocean. The atmosphere in here is warm and inviting. It’s a real treat to walk by and see the chefs working. The food was tasty and fresh but the drink menu was most memorable! This is definitely an our top 10 best dining experiences!

The view from this restaurant is absolutely amazing! If that was all you enjoyed it would still be worth a trip here but let's face it, there's a lot more to brag about than just the view. The food was incredible; the chef here really knows how to create a unique and wonderful dining experience. Even the ice cubes in the drinks were perfect. Talk about attention to fine details. The staff was friendly and helpful and hats off to the sommelier who was able to find the perfect champagne for our honeymoon celebration. Lastly, even the music play list was superb. Thank you for a great experience!

Exquisite. The plating was superb and the view was breathtaking.
Very glad to have made a reservation early as to be able to see past the fog.
The walk up and over to the restaurant was interesting. I wonder why valet can’t take your car at the too entrance?
Unique in many ways down to the art in the bathroom.

Premier if you enjoy being treated like trash. If you aren’t a guest don’t bother dining here. They do not treat non-guests with any common decency. Terrible service. So glad we decided to stay at Ventana. The view was beautiful.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with dinner at Sierra Mar. To say this restaurant is spectacular is an understatement. The sunset views are some of the most incredible in the world and the food is equally as exquisite. We were sat at a corner table overlooking the California coastline. The view was breathtaking.

We each had a 4-course dinner. We also opted to add a caviar course and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to dine in full luxury. Each course was a gastronomic feast. Perfectly balanced and portioned. The staff, servers, and chefs provided a memorable dining experience.

Our only regret is we only ate at Sierra Mar once. We can't wait to dine again.
