   Food itself was mediocre and did not really worth the price, so the value was on the view and ambience. The wine by the glass selections were very good and a couple of my selection were great. Service was good, no complaint. It was a good one time experience kind of lunch. Will I go back for a second time? If no change to the menu and food quality - no. Alila across the street has a much better lunch offering (quality, choice, and value) with a very competitive view and ambiance.

   You cannot beat the ambience and views from Sierra Mar. While the food was good (lunch prix fixe) the highlight was the shared small bites with the dipping sauces (which were excellent - harissa, eggplant, yogurt, cashew - all blended with different spices/herbs. Main dishes - gourmet hamburger, chimichurri steak and roasted chicken were all good but overpriced, but again, you cannot beat the ambience and views. Wonderful way to spend a leisurely afternoon lunch.

   We have enjoyed dinner at Sierra Mar on a number of occasions over many years. This was our first lunch and it was superb. The ambiance is very different at lunch, certainly more casual but still wonderfully refined. A pleasure!

   Went with the family. Had an amazing time. Some of the best views in all of Big Sur. Food portions are small but everything tasted amazing! Specialty drinks were great and the bartender took extra care in making the espresso martinis and virgin margaritas! Wouldn’t change a thing. First class experience.

    Service and view are fantastic. The food is often a hit or miss for me. About 5 years ago it was always amazing. These days it can be a 50/50 split. Still innovative with ingredients but the balance seems more towards bitter/salt than umami/fat. I miss the umami richness. Also miss the individual bread they use to make. I don’t enjoy the bread slices. I may if I didn’t know what it use to be. Food is always beautifully plated. Staff is always amazing.

    Very much enjoyed my lunch with exception of fish. While there was nothing wrong with the fish itself it seemed too close to a "very good" fish & chips for me and not what I was expecting...

    Dining in the heavens is a unique experience that gives Sierra Mar its edge. The food was nothing to rave about and I found some of my plates to be "trying too hard". With a view like that though, how can you not come back?

    Supremely underwhelming. Stated more than once that we had just gotten engaged and received nothing more than an impersonal congratulations. Food was just OK. For a $400 meal we expected much more. Will not be back.

    The first coarse was amazing…delicious salad, amazing naan served with homemade hummus, red sweet pepper sauce, cashew butter, eggplant baba Ganoosh, and a wonderful yogurt dill cucumber dipping sauce, served with all these fresh raw veggies to dip in. For main coarse, my friend had the skirt steak with chimichurri sauce and that was good. I ordered petrale sole with nutritional yeast crust, which I was so excited about. It was the worst fish…not fresh, dry, over cooked. The crust was not right. It was like frozen breaded fish sticks. It was the worst main coarse I think I’ve had, and very surprising fora $70 fixe price lunch menu. The deserts were 3 bites of 3 different things, 2 were so so, 1 was delicious

    This restaurant had the best view I’ve ever seen while dining inside. WOW! We arrived at 8p just in time for sunset at 8:30. The setting was extraordinary, and the food was delicious. They even made adjustments to their set menu for us since I have a gluten, dairy and tomato allergy. You must make a reservation and plan ahead, but it is well worth it. This restaurant really made our trip so special.

    Amazing! Probably just a once in a lifetime experience, but wow! What an experience. It's as close to food as art as I've ever been witness to and that is saying something! I thank my 23-year old son for finding and suggesting it. It was a great bonding moment between father and son that will likely be remembered for a very long time to come. He has earned this special treat as I wanted to show my pride and appreciation of/for him serving in the US Air Force for the past 2+ years! Great job to all the staff for making this experience extremely delightful!

    We had a lunch last time at Post Ranch Inn in around 2008 or 9, and we always had fond memories of our splurge at the fancy restaurant where the amazing views. So we recreated this last weekend, and it was great again, we sat outside, enjoyed the Prix fixed 3 course lunch - whatever possible came from their chefs garden, which we happen to see from outside, while walking around the property, where it was not explicitly walled off for their guests. The people are fantastic, it started with the phone reservation confirmation and ended with the lady who served came by to refill our water, we saw her again just before we left, driving a golf cart and waving and smiling at us. Yes, we will be back . Suggestion, is there anyway like a chef garden tour? The fern in the appetizer was just too unique and delicious

    Of course the view and atmosphere is fabulous. However, for the price point the food was not worth it. The only option is a prix fix at 145 a person. We each had the appetizer of two oysters, followed by focaccia, then a tiny portion of abalone (one tablespoon with two lettuce leaves) and the sole. I don't mind miniscule portions however the sole was so salty that I could not eat it. I gave it to my husband. Dessert was good and we lingered at sunset with a dessert wine to savor the gorgeous Big Sur coast. We have dined here before I felt it was superlative and this time not so much. I will recommend but more on the overall place and experience than for the food.

    This restaurant was not what we expected. The view is great and the food is ok but not worth the price. The setting is casual and reasonably daggy compared to what we thought it would be. If it were a better price (more like $45 per head for the set menu) and marked as a casual restaurant it would be ok. The heavily fried fish was shocking. The chicken was good.

    The drive in to the facility and the climb up the stairs while challenging are forgotten once you are greeted taken to your table. The view is out of this world. 4 course meals don't allow for gobbling down your meal, and the food is so extraordinarily delicious that you wouldn't want to. I hope my travels bring me back to this magnificent spot.

    Great view, great food, and our server Trevor was exceptional. The only complaint we had was that the hostess was a bit rude and somewhat condescending to us. Not a great start to an otherwise fantastic evening. She also sat us at a bit of an odd table since the place was empty (and would mostly stay that way). Hostess aside, wonderful experience.
