"A unique café with unspoilt views and great drinks. This is one of a kind of café in Big Sur that offers a fascinating view of the Pacific from a cliff top. The café has a bar and is usually equipped with open seating tables. The drinks are excellent and the bartender is super helpful. Food here is fresh and good tasting. One thing they can improve is the selection in the menu especially for vegetarian/vegan people. There are no vegan options and one vegetarian sandwich. However, this is about the views and should come here to enjoy a meal overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The furnishings of the café are beautiful and quite lively. Give you a picnic vibe just to be here."

The view is spectacular especially during sunset. The things are nice and friendly. Eating is a little expensive. But it's delicious, we love the Chowder. The view itself is worth visiting in the place. Enjoy nature and romantic dinner.

This restaurant is one of the best in the area, with a bustling atmosphere on weekends. It's recommended to make a reservation due to the crowds, but you can also enjoy a drink at the bar and take in the view while you wait for a delicious meal.

The restaurant has incredible views and the staff is very friendly. The wine list is good, but the beer options were a bit limited. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. The highlight was definitely the breathtaking views. Despite a few small issues, I would still give it 5 stars as it could have just been an off day. View menu

This restaurant is a popular spot for catching a glimpse of the sunset. The view comes at a cost, attracting many customers who come mainly for the view and drinks. The food is satisfactory but lacks innovation. The indoor and outdoor seating areas offer the same number of seats, with outdoor seating equipped with propane heaters for warmth. It is advisable to make reservations in advance.

Beautiful views! Service, drinks, and food were phenomenal. Be prepared to wait. We grabbed cocktails and sat on the bench overlooking oaks, horses and the coast. We got a table after a twenty minute wait (we went early for lunch) but as we left we heard people waiting an hour but they have plenty of shaded seating, a cute little shop and cafe, or grab cocktails during your wait. It's a amazing atmosphere!

Nice view! Service, drinks and food were phenomenal. Be ready to wait. We packed cocktails and sat on the bench overlooking oaks, horses and the coast. We got a table after a twenty-minute waiting period (we went early for lunch) but when we left, we heard people waiting an hour, but they have many shaded seats, a sweet little shop and cafe, or take cocktails during your waiting. It is an amazing atmosphere! View menu

This is a beautiful place on the Big Sur coast. Everything about this restaurant is beautiful. Serene and amazing. We went there on a Saturday night at 745. Waiting was about an hour, but there are a lot of seats for waiting and the views are beautiful making the waiting completely worth it. The ambience is from this world. Food is decent and tasty. We have the daily special, Pesto Pasta and the vegetarian burger. The burger was a bit dry, but the pasta and the side salad were great. The chocolate cake was also very grocery like, but I have no complaints about the amazing dinner experience. Definitely recommended.
