Always great to stop to eat here. They also have a store down below. But the food is awesome, and the views are wonderful.

So glad to see Nepenthe is still here and great as always. My last visit was in 1989.

Dinner Review Only: this spot is extremely gorgeous and the views are unmatched. Our dinner experience was below par for the price. We spent $180 on two entrees and one appetizer. We ordered steamed artichoke as an appetizer. The aioli was good, but the artichoke heart was completely missing which usually is the best part. I ordered the halibut and it was extremely tough, not flaky like you’d like halibut. The menu stated it came with a risotto, but what I got was most likely overcooked rice pilaf. My partner got duck which was cooked well, but drenched in an overly sweet wine sauce. When I spend this much on a meal, I would hope these details wouldn’t be overlooked.
Unfortunately we left feeling underwhelmed by the food. I would come back to try their lunch menu at a lower price.

A beautiful restaurant with attentive service, knowledgeable bar staff, and menu variety for days! Everything was delicious and we were able to finish our meal by enjoying dessert while watching the sunset. The view cannot be beat no matter where you sit in the restaurant. Please pay them a visit during your natural tourism vacation! You won't regret it.

The Service was amazing and the location was beautiful, however, the food was the nastiest food I’ve ever had in my life. My chicken was raw, and my boyfriend’s plate tasted awful. Will never go again.

I went there 6 months ago on my honeymoon and we keep talking about this place. There was a goat cheese and garlic appetizer that we keep talking about and we recreated multiple times since then.
Great scenery, food. Watch out for birds conditioned to eat off your plates:). Highly recommend this place.

I was in Big Sur for 3 days prior to heading up to car week and enjoyed a lunch here as well as a dinner. The views are amazing and service is friendly. I had their halibut dinner and it was cooked perfectly over a bed of risotto with a side of asparagus. Lunch I had the ambrosia burger that had a fresh warm bun and it hit the spot. Their bean salad is amazing, never had one quite so good.

Very mediocre food and super expensive. Appetizers are $25-35. Beers are $9. Cocktails are $20. Main dishes are $60-80.
