The best breakfast we had on our trip! Dark wood interior with classical music playing, attentive service and Eggs Benedict and a breakfast burrito that were divine!

Lovely restaurant with old world charm. They managed to squeeze us in for dinner even though they were fully reserved. Lovely service and the food was really tasty!

The breakfast here was delicious. We got seated right away on a weekend morning between Christmas and New Year’s. Those that had to wait only waited a few minutes and everything was fantastic. The building itself and property are fairytale esque and just beautiful!

Magical. Delicious breakfast... Blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup and eggs benedict (with spinach or ham) are legendary. The redwood mist and the firewood burning in the original fireplaces keep the Deetjen legend alive.
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.

Beautiful, historic restuarant with stone fireplace; wonderful historic decor fills each room. So out of the ordinary from anything you'll experience. Old World charm, Different characteristics in each room as if nothing really changed in last 70+ yrs. DELICIOUS food... everything ordered to try was even better than last. So full of charm! Will definitely come back everytime near area.
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
