   This is truly a unique dining experience! 1000 feet above sea level in Big Sur with breathtaking views. The food and service are both great.

   Tasting menu is the only option. For the cost at a Michelin restaurant you are paying for that extra which here is the panoramic view which is stated clearly on their site as the USP. As that is the case make sure you are in a seat where you can view the sea. Unfortunately we were plonked in a table in the corner where my view was of the bar only and everything was behind me. For $500 meal it is not worth it. Smaller issue is the wait to be served which is hard to understand considering it is a set tasting menu. Alongside getting put in a table with no views it did not make for a great experience and again when the cost is of a Michelin restaurant. Had much better overall experiences in other Michelin restaurants. Food was good for what it was but again you are paying for the whole experience which was poor. If you are going request to be seated with the views otherwise it is just not worth the time and cost.

   Our experience at Sierra Mar, a fine dining establishment at the Post Ranch Inn, was unfortunate. While I cannot fault the service or the location, the food did not live up to the restaurant’s impressive reputation. The first course, consisting of vegetables and a spread of hummus and tomatoes, was truly forgettable. My main course was a steak that was acceptable but not special. Instead, the food served was disappointingly lackluster. We had high hopes for this restaurant, which has garnered many positive reviews. My experience unfortunately fell short of my expectations. It is a shame that a restaurant known for its incredible location and service cannot consistently deliver on the food front.

   There is, one must admit, a certain grandeur to arriving at Sierra Mar. Perched high on a bluff in Big Sur, wrapped in fog like a secret whispered by the Pacific, the setting is operatic in scope. Unfortunately, that seduction ends the moment the food arrives. We came for lunch, a prix fixe menu and wine flight. What we encountered was something more akin to a luxury day camp cafeteria—if that cafeteria were manned by listless staff more interested in their phones than the patrons. As for the food, it was executed with a kind of bland indifference that bordered on the hostile. Courses arrived in baffling combinations. Two salads to share, served in large bowls as if at a potluck, were limp and forgettable. But the true offense came next: a single hot plate heaving with burger, steak, and fish, all crammed together like livestock on Noah’s Ark. Predictably, the fish’s pungency colonized everything else. One imagines this was meant to be inventive. It was not. It was an affront. The wine pairings, so often the salvation of a tepid kitchen, were ruined by a server whose rhythm was so out of sync it felt like we were dining in a time warp. Champagne arrived with the salad, the rose and red wine at the same time, the supposed “pairings” were so out of sync, it became unbearable. To say nothing of the fact that the server got one of the mains order wrong. So two burgers had to suffer next to the fish. But the gravest crime of all—the unpardonable sin—was that none of it tasted like anything. The food was not bad in the way of a misfire. It was bad in the way of boredom. It aspired to nothing and achieved less. Not a single flavor lingered, haunted, or surprised. It was a $400 lunch one forgets before the valet retrieves the car. There are, I’m told, better options. One imagines it would not be difficult to find them. A roadside taco stand. A well-made sandwich by the sea. Anything, really, prepared with care and intention.

   Enjoyed the whole experience. Food and services were excellent and on top of that it was a beautiful clear evening, to watch the sunset over the ocean.

   Returned to Post Ranch Inn yesterday after an outstanding meal there a few years ago. We have come from Victoria Australia to visit family so it is a very special treat for us (at $185 for a fixed price tasting menu it is at the high end). Sadly our experience fell short of our last visit. The change to a fixed menu is disappointing and I feel that having no choice at all is quite lazy. I like that they are using local produce and some food they grow there but I wonder at the dominance of mushrooms on the menu in April. The food was excellent quality but inconsistent - nothing really stood out as being brilliant and memorable, as each dish had done for us in our last visit. The dessert was very disappointing - a medicinal tasting eucalyptus icecream (a tiny ball) on a stodgy chocolate cookie with a couple of quite heavy white chocolate tuilles. Things were out of order (coffee brought before dessert, a salad at the start?) and the service, while attentive, felt mechanical. Sadly, after so much anticipation, I doubt I will return.

While we are elated to know that you held such fond memories of your experience from years ago, we are sorry to learn that your most recent visit fell short in comparison, and we wish to extend our regrets.

When you next find yourself visiting the area, we hope that you’ll join us once more as we’d like nothing more than the chance to restore your confidence in the memories you have held onto so dearly. Until then. In the spirit of hospitality, Reylon Agustin Director of Culinary Sierra Mar
