Always amazing food, service, and ambiance! We love to take our out of town visitors or just a special date night along the beautiful coastline!

We were really looking forward to this but the food missed the mark. The salmon seemed undercooked and the chicken was dry and crunchy.

Before making our reservation, I called the restaurant specifically to ask whether it was appropriate to dine with young children. I was told they could make pizza for kids and was advised to dine early. Based on that conversation, we booked and arrived at 5pm with our group of six—four adults, one toddler, and one baby. The chef delivered on the food for the adult courses, which were well cooked and thoughtfully prepared. The pasta, however, was a clear exception. At $150 per person, the price reflects not only the food but the entire experience, including service, and that is where the restaurant fell short. The restaurant does not offer high chairs, which already makes dining with young children difficult. When ordering for our 2-year-old, the server only mentioned pasta as an option. Later, we observed other hotel guests being served burgers and fries from a different menu—options that were never offered or explained to us. Had we known those were available, we would have ordered them, as our toddler loves fries. The toddler pasta with chicken was $50 and was genuinely one of the worst pasta dishes I've eaten. Even our toddler wouldn't eat it. Service issues continued throughout the meal. A drink was spilled at the table and was not proactively replaced, and my water glass remained empty for most of the night. When I raised the limited toddler options with the manager, I was told they “don't have a kids menu,” but that there is a separate menu for hotel guests staying more than one day—an explanation that contradicted what we were told on the phone. I don't know whether our table received different treatment because we had children, but if this is the standard experience, it does not justify the $520 total (including tax and tip). If the restaurant is not truly kid-friendly, they should clearly state that rather than taking a wishy-washy stance...

I went by myself as a way to celebrate my new job and the experience was amazing. They went above and beyond my expectations. From being messaged to see if I wanted an earlier reservation to see the sunset, to the charming conversations with the staff and the overall quality of the food and drinks, I couldn't have asked for better. I will be back, make no mistake.

I went to Sierra Mar for Brunch and dinner while I staying at the Post Ranch Inn and it was incredible!! Dining high above the Pacific felt surreal. The views alone are unforgettable, but the experience goes far beyond that.
Every dish was thoughtfully created. The service was impeccable. Everything flowed naturally, allowing us to fully take in the flavors, vibe and views. This was such a memorable experience that I absolutely cannot wait to experience again! 🤩

I visited the restaurant at Post Ranch Inn for lunch on November 15, 2025. The view was stunning and the food was very good, and under normal circumstances I would have happily recommended this place. Unfortunately, the way the restaurant handled payment completely ruined the experience for me.
Because of a power outage, the staff said they could not use the POS terminal. Instead, they asked me to write my full name, full credit card number and CVV on the back of a receipt so they could process the charge later. I specifically asked if this was safe, and was told it was, so I reluctantly did it.
After I left, I received a voicemail from the restaurant manager and messages through OpenTable saying they “still need your credit card information” and asking me to call back and leave my card details with the hostess. The wording and tone made me feel as if I had not paid or was trying to avoid paying, even though I had already written down my full card number and CVV for them. I was traveling and on a flight, so I couldn’t respond immediately, but when I landed I called back, provided the expiration date, and also expressed how uncomfortable and upset I felt about the whole situation. The manager hang up the phone immediately and didn’t even let me complete my sentence.
I fully understand that the restaurant should be paid for the meal. My issue is how my card information was collected and how I was treated afterwards. Writing full card details (including CVV) on the back of a receipt and then repeatedly calling and messaging for more “credit card information” feels extremely unsafe and unprofessional, especially for a property at this level. Because of this, I cannot recommend this restaurant despite the beautiful setting and good food.

Staff (Devon) was ultra-attentive and professional. Spectacular views (duh!), and great menu.

The main course wasn't good. I didn't like the chicken, and the mushrooms weren't good either. The appetizers and desserts were good. Our server wasn't good at all, but after we mentioned it to the supervisor, he personally came to assist us with our food.
Over a decade ago I had one of the best dinners here. Things have definitely gone downhill. I brought my wife here for an anniversary lunch. The views are still stunning but man the food and service have gone downhill. We had their prix fixe with a glass of wine each. The starters were a Mediterranean salad that had way too much flavorless dressing and a garlic hummus with pickled vegetables. The pita with the hummus was greasy. For our mains we had salmon and bavette steak with roasted vegetables. They put chimichurri on the steak that was completely unnecessary. Dessert was a panna cotta that left my stomach in knots because all the dairy. We arrived at 1pm and the place was not crowded yet the service was slow. The time between courses felt a little too long. Overall the meal was completely overpriced for what was served and nothing was outstanding as one would hope for a $300 lunch. I get the cache of Post Ranch Inn but truly the food could have been much better. Sometimes simple, local ingredients just don't need the sauces and the dressings.

The view was overcast but still incredibly beautiful, with soft pink clouds stretching as far as we could see. The food was delicious, unique and subtle in its approach. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. We felt lucky to celebrate our anniversary here and will definitely be returning!

Fantastic multi-course prix fixe meal. Attentive service, well-paced courses, delicious food
