This place is very nice, it has an incredible decoration, the food is very delicious, the restaurant is on the side of the road, it doesn't look like a restaurant, it is among many plants and trees right next to the mountain.

Had the good fortune of celebrating a post- wedding brunch at Deetjens. In short, this place has been around so long for a reason - it's good, very very good.

Our party of 12 almost all ordered their incredible Blueberry Pancakes - which were large, sweet, and addicting to eat. I had the Eggs Benedict w/ smoked salmon on an English muffin, which was also excellent - very savory and rich. It was a very quiet table once the food arrived since everyone was too into the food!

Outside of the delicious eats, Deetjens has a very eclectic atmosphere: dark, colorful ceiling drapes, vintage wood furniture, and a wide selection of orchestral classics playing in the background

Staff was very attentive to our large party, making sure we were well stocked on water and condiments.

Having breakfast this good out in the woods while in Big Sur is a treasure - try it, you won't regret it

Been here three times now- twice for dinner and once for breakfast. It was great each time! There is something magical about eating french toast right next to a fireplace!

Parking: There are only a few spots directly in front of restaurant. They do have a backlot as well.

Unique and eclectic restaurant. Terrific service and good coffee. I ordered a couple eggs scrambled with spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms and it was excellent. My friend ordered the eggs benedict with salmon (I think), which he said was very good.

A unique experience in Big Sur with a great menu and tasty specials. Worth the drive for the scenery and the breakfast or lunch.

Parking: Smaller lot …visited on a Sunday, late morning where many had already checked out of the inn so there were available parking spots.

Good food, quick service. The furnishings are unusual, but for me personally everything is a bit too rustic/dark.

They didn't have anything we ordered from the breakfast all the way down to the tea and espresso (they only have coffee), we ended up leaving because it kinda ruined the whole experience. It's a shame because I used to come here regularly many years ago and I always looked forward to it because it was exceptional but now I'd say sub-par.

Excellent food. The Paella was similar to an actual Paella in ingredients only, was more like a seafood bouillabaisse with some rice added, but was absolutely delicious regardless. Perfect venue for a date.
