Dear Samuel, Greetings from Big Sur and thank you for sharing your review. It was a delight to welcome you in though we are disheartened to learn that your main course left you wanting more. As you likely know, there are multiple entrees to choose from each night and we hope you found our team to be intuitive in seeing that this course left you wanting more as we would always be happy to prepare an alternate dish. We apologize if this did not occur and we hope to win your heart in full should you be open to visiting again. In the spirit of hospitality, Reylon Agustin Director of Culinary Sierra Mar

Prix-fixe lunch was glorious! I had the Post Ranch smash burger, my husband had the wild caught Alaska King salmon (the best he's had in years). Fresh grilled vegetables from the Ranch's organic garden were showcased in the Chef's Garden Harvest and Summer Market Salad. Both were outstanding. Try the Falling Leaf non-alcoholic drink for a unique taste of bay laurel.

Dear Therese, Greetings to you both and thank you for joining us. As you discovered, a Sierra Mar luncheon is just as centered around the fresh ingredients from our Chef’s Garden as our sunset dinners and we are thrilled to find that each dish fully impressed the palate. We thank you for taking the time to pass along your review for others considering their own visits and we thank you again for making us a part of your day.
