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.

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.
