Humble and hearty food. Fresh fish, a lovely beet salad and tasty pasta dishes. Lovely hosts and a cosy if esoteric decor. Highly recommend to people looking for some unfussy food or a date night!!

Do not order latte… it’s just regular coffee…

Your restaurant is so special. The atmosphere and history you have is wonderful. We went there twice for breakfast and enjoyed both times very much.

This was the best meal we had in Big Sur. Delicious, unique, and upscale, and less expensive than Nepenthe. Try it!

The grounds at this restaurant are quite nice, however parking can be a nightmare. Upon entering we were greeted in a way that made us feel out of place, as if we didn't quite belong in this establishment. The man seemed genuinely upset that we were there. This same man was then assigned to be our server and his service was curt and cold. I believe his name was Roman. The food was acceptable, although the ragu was drowned in heavy cream and left a lot to be desired. A truly disappointing experience among very limited dining options around Big Sur.

No notes and the sea bass brought me to tears (happily). We will forever cherish the wine selection & our favorite chardonnay has become our anniversary special treat. Until we meet again Deetjens you were magical

We went for dinner and it was the best meal we had on our trip in California. The restaurant is so quirky too - go check out all the different rooms. Not the cheapest but it's worth it.

Such a cute place with a charm that greets you as you arrive and continues throughout. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. The eggs Benedict with home fries was absolutely delicious and we shared an enormous blueberry pancake both of which I’d recommend.

After a chilly night glamping, the warmth and coziness of Deetjens confirms this restaurant forever as my happy place. Cozy nook to have breakfast with friends; warm and inviting atmosphere. The friendliest of staff. And to top it off, great chilaquiles! What a way to start the day in Big Sur!

Amazing food, attentive service, and an extremely cozy setting tucked into the remote coast of big sur. Worth the drive just to stop here, let alone all the other wonders of this coast.
