I wouldn't go back for the food but definitely go back for the atmosphere

River Inn offers a solid Big Sur dining option with generous portions and a distinctive edge. The ambience is outstanding, with beautiful views, efficient service, and spacious seating. While the food is good, there are some issues with service and wait times that need improvement. The location along the Big Sur River is unbeatable, providing a laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of decades past. Despite occasional service hiccups, the food is fresh, plentiful, and well-presented, catering to various dietary preferences. Overall, River Inn is a pleasant dining choice in the Big Sur area with room for service enhancement.
