Gorgeous spot with top notch service and seriously tasty food and drinks. Can’t recommend it enough
wunderschöner Fleckchen Erde in Big Sur.
Vacationed last week at the Big Sur River Inn and had a wonderful time. My 3 year old daughter met some little girls during our trip and hasn’t stopped talking about them and how much fun they had throwing rocks in the river and dancing to the band.

The Restaurant at Big Sur River Inn offers a peaceful and scenic dining experience in a beautiful setting. The back patio and picnic area near the tranquil river provide a relaxing atmosphere, ideal for unwinding after a hike. Guests can sit in river chairs or play on the manicured grass, and some even dip their feet in the water while enjoying their meal. The menu features a variety of dishes, including the popular baby back ribs, tri tip sandwich, burger, and chicken Caesar salad. The ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes is considered worth the price, and the breakfast options like pancakes are highly praised. Customers also enjoy desserts such as crème brûlée and apple pie, along with drinks like the Bloody Mary, which is described as delish. Service is friendly and kind, with staff providing good recommendations, and the overall ambiance is described as phenomenal. Visitors can enjoy a refreshing Jala-piña Margarita with jalapeños and pineapple or relax by the river, making it a great spot for families or special events like weddings. The restaurant is a "beautiful little hidden gem" and a "must visit" in Big Sur, with a tranquil setting that feels like a sanctuary.
