If you’re fortunate enough to be in Big Sur, make sure you stop here (maybe a few times). The team is unbelievably friendly and the food is incredible. If you have severe food allergies like me, let me tell you this: I’ve never felt more accommodated in my life. These people knocked it out of the park! P.S. Get the braised beef tacos and the wings to start. P.P.S. Chef Nico deserves praise.

Dietary restrictions: I have all of the top 8 food allergies and they’re all severe. It’s usually very hard to dine at restaurants, but at Fernwood I felt like I was in heaven. Go here. You won’t regret it!

Great pizza and steak frites. Great drinks too. Probably the least expensive and quality place in the area to sit for drinks and grub

We found this gem for dinner. Just needed a restaurant that allowed our dog to join us... Had the greek platter to share, and the plate had an all veggie goodness! Shared the 16" pizza, and they dough was thin, and crunchy with all veggie deliciousness.. Definitely try the hibiscus margarita! You'll be thankful...

I had low expectations for this place but staying in Big Sur, we didn’t feel like we had a lot of options, but it exceeded our expectations! It was my husband and me. We got the Green pizza, chicken wings (chili sesame and buffalo) and their special salad (prosciutto and melon). It was really good! I was more impressed with the food and service here than Nepenthe where we had lunch! Miguel was our server and he was great!!!

We came here one morning on the way to Esalen because they have vegan options! I was excited to have some healthy Mezze Platter, a salad, some other veggie-friendly appetizers but sadly they were closed. We saw cute doggie though and will surely come back! Thank you for offering plant-based options! Picturesque road drive!

This was such a beautiful place to enjoy delicious food. The fried chicken sandwich was really flavorful and the tots hit the spot! The fish burrito was great too! We were just a little disappointed that we were charged 20% gratuity for having a party of 5 when one was an infant that definitely did not or could not eat.

Great food and choices to please different tastes. Their store even has ice cream and sorbet (I had the coconut and mango sorbet). For dinner, the fish and chips were generous. Burger was delicious too. Spacious and cozy.

The burger was good. A stellar's perched in the tree next to my table on the patio. The wait staff were great. It was like a group of wood nymphs waiting tables.
