Last minute change of anniversary plans after a huge disappointment at Ventana Sur House. Everything was amazing from the food to the customer service. A very quiet and intimate place and they made our special day even more special. Definitely a place to celebrate special occasions.
A total gem in the Big Sur area. We dropped by for breakfast with our pup on the beautiful outdoor patio and it was our favorite meal of our trip.
The chilaquiles, breakfast burrito, and French toast all exceeded our expectations and the service couldn’t have been better.
They let us order a half portion of their famous French toast to share and it was perfect.

Errrehhh ladies and gents! This little hidden gem in the Central Coast of Hwy 1 is a must-stop detour! They have gluten free pancakes and hot tea that you cannot pass up! The low lit restaurant and home-style feng shui makes you feel cozy and at peace. I did not stay in the lodging but they have over 20 rooms and they deliver to your room if you stay there! It is a beautiful ride to the hotel/restaurant so everyone should at least experience it one time in their life!
