Reviews for Sierra Mar in Big Sur, CA
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 extremelypampered. Thank you! Read more
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 advanceand arrive early to take the walk along the forest to the restaurant on the cliff! Valet parking with self-park lot optionavailable. So delicious the food was incredible and I actually had to take some home for dinner, portions were great. Also theBig Sur VIEWS. Read more
Coming all the way from South Eastern Australia, on this visit to Big Sur I decided it was high time I splashed out on a meal at... Sierra Mar, having driven by wistfully several times. Despite the extravagant cost, everyone in my party of 4 left feeling itwas definitely money well spent, having experienced an utterly unforgettable dining experience. Starting with the beauty of theenvironment, looking out over the unique loveliness of the Big Sur coast, watching the fog roll in and the sun go down. Then theservice - ultra professional, warm not snooty, thoughtful and attentive. And the food. A four course fixed price with addedextras if you have a few hundred extra to spend on caviar (not us!) With each dish exquisitely composed and delightful. Iwon’t go into too much detail - some pictures below show the perfect sourdough bread (I make this myself so I know what I’mtalking about here!), a beef tenderloin from grass fed cattle raised in Oregon, local produce and the best IPA we’ve evertasted. Then the chocolate and pear dessert - possibly the best dessert I’ve ever had. Not sure I can ever top this, butI’ll be squirreling away my pennies for our next trip. Read more
Absolutely stunning view three stories up in a tree house restaurant with glass walls over the cliff of the pacific. Beautiful... for a sunset dinner. Staff is extremely professional, and attentive. Food was mouth watering. Thank you! Read more
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 thechefs working. The food was tasty and fresh but the drink menu was most memorable! This is definitely an our top 10 best diningexperiences! Read more
In a word, magnificent. Such creativity and so carefully prepared. The food and service is as spectacular as the views. Try to... catch a reservation at a time where you can see the sunset for an even more magical and unforgettable experience. Read more
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 tableoverlooking the California coastline. The view was breathtaking. We each had a 4-course dinner. We also opted to add a caviarcourse and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to dine in full luxury. Each course was a gastronomic feast. Perfectlybalanced and portioned. The staff, servers, and chefs provided a memorable dining experience. Our only regret is we only ate atSierra Mar once. We can't wait to dine again. Read more
The atmosphere at Sierra Mar was very romantic and tranquil, surrounded by the peace of the forests and the ocean. The staff... were all extremely friendly and the food was great. I rated the food slightly lower only because there were a couple dishes thatI wasn't particular about but that is also all about personal preference. They offer a pre-fixed 4 course meal ($145 when wewent) with a few courses having a few items to choose from. We had a nice booth seat and caught the sunset, and as we left welooked up as soon as we exited the restaurant and were mind blown to see the Milky Way. We opted to stay in Carmel and drove outto the restaurant which took about 50 min and was also a nice scenic drive out. They provide free valet (no self parking).Definitely would recommend for any special occasions or just a romantic night out. Read more
