An amazing atmosphere with air purifiers at every table. The staff is super nice, attentive, and accommodating to each and every order. My wife and I have severe Gluten, Wheat, Dairy, and Soy allergy and they completely accommodated us through all four courses of our meal with no issues at all. They were able to substitute items as well instead of removing them which made us feel very special and created a super personalized experience.

We enjoyed room service, breakfast and dinner at Sierra Mar during our stay at Post Ranch Inn for our destination wedding. This was an amazing dining experience in its ‘Alice in Wonderland’ cliffside building surrounded with beautiful glass walls and doors showcasing the Pacific and sunsets that follow.
I’m going to start with the most important and noticeable aspect of dining at Sierra Mar. The service. The service here was impeccable. From acknowledging my wife’s food allergy, congratulating us on our wedding, knowing who we were, constantly seeing to our needs and the genuine excitement to feed us – we’ve been to several fine dining establishments but none as welcoming as Sierra Mar.
Side note: please thank your damn servicers… Each time I thanked someone, they looked at me like I was speaking a different language. Reference Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk please.
You could tell the employees here actually enjoyed what they were doing, and it felt like family. This was also apparent in the delicious dining. Each course was presented wonderfully and consisted of, if not all most fresh ingredients from the garden on the Post Ranch acreage. Our complimentary wedding dinner was superb, fresh, and each dish presented with enthusiasm. The pasta was so good I needed to willfully slow down.
The biggest surprise was our wedding cake. My wife has an allergy to corn, which is much more of a pain than it sounds. Corn is in EVERYTHING. Our event coordinator could not find a bakery to make a corn-free cake. The pastry chef at Sierra Mar agreed to give it a shot. We paid a premium for the cake, but reality blew away expectations. I assumed the cake would be small; she assumed it would be plain. What we got was a work of art that you could tell the baker dumped their heart and soul in. And if they truly did not, I’d LOVE to see something they did. This was a showpiece. Our server was so excited to present our cake you could tell this was special and WE felt special.
Everything about Sierra Mar was five-star. I was worried it would be pretentious, but everyone here made us feel like family. I don’t have enough words to describe how great the dining was, how comfortable we felt and the beauty surrounding the restaurant.

Everything was spot on. The entire dining experience was elevated. Highly recommend the halibut, and the melon gazpacho was the best iteration of gazpacho I have ever tasted!!

It's obvious why the restaurant is highly awarded. The menu was diverse, technical, and packed with unique flavors. The setting is beyond perfect. Perched just above some of the best ocean views, enveloped in an architecture that reflects the natural shape of the hillside, and brimming with local charm. Our crew especially enjoyed the time we spent at the bar before heading to our table. The bartenders were quite knowledgeable about the history and vision of the property. Their cocktails were equally complex and delectable as the menu, incorporating many housemade components. Would recommend. And will try to return soon.

We very much enjoyed our lunch at Sierra Mar. The hostess was very kind, she took note of our preference requests and sat us at the perfect corner table with the most spectacular view. Our server was wonderful and welcomed us warmly. We loved the garden salad, the steak and I thought the wine pairings were excellent. We hope to come again soon.

When we find times on Saturdays we drive down to Sierra Mar for lunch. The food , the service and ambience makes this a unique experience! Chef's passion and discipline to delight the customer shows everytime we dine here. The ingredients are so fresh and every course is cooked and presented with greatest care. The service lead by Brandon and team makes it a complete experience. The ambience with the ocean view is stunning to say the least . After lunch we go to the art gallery and also spend a few mins at the Chef's garden. The gardener takes unique care as the Chef sources ingredients from their garden, We have been repeating Sierra Mar ever since we found this place a couple of years back. Congrats for running such a great place!
Good table but overpriced. Right next to the highly overpriced Post Ranch Inn. Main dish excellent, appetizers average, stunning views of the pacific coast, snubbish ambiance, service evaporates if you don't provide a 100$ tip at the end. You get a better deal at Nepenthe restaurant further south.

This place is a fraud. So much hype for subpar food. Staff was nice but did not speak good English or know how to make you feel welcome. Worst of all watch your billing statements and see other reviews. Staff add tip after you have signed a receipt. Fraud Fraud
