This place was wonderful in every way. Given the location and exceptional service, worth every penny. Every detail was perfect. Waters and coffee stayed filled. Kind attentive waitress. The food was superb. I got the vegan just egg frittata and my husband had the falafel Benedict. Both were delicious!

The ambience is beautiful as it is located above the Pacific with great views from the outside patio. The service was slow and not responsive. The food was mediocre. The price of food and beverages is, maybe, worth the view, but certainly not base on the food quality or service.

Wow, Sur House has really stepped up their game compared to our last visit. Quiet luxury, excellent food, beautiful outdoor dining. Just go.

Excellent customer service and the food was delicious. Really appreciate the fresh ingredients they used. Highly recommend anyone who enjoys fine dining to give this place a try.

Overall the food was good. We had the beet salad appetizer along with the kale salad and lamb ragu for dinner. The kale salad was something we could have gone without but the pasta was amazing. Cocktails were good as well! Service was quick and kind.

We had a lovely day! The view and ambience is beautiful. Very nice and attentive staff. We enjoyed the food as well.

Wrong food was brought multiple times, service was slow and I was charged for not canceling a lunch time reservation even though I was told reservations are only needed for after 5pm for dinner.

Visited Ventana in 2021, then again in 2025.
The first time we went, the food was not impressive. It was included with the price of admission, so that was at least worth something.
It seems like they've leveled up their game in the past 4 years. This is actually a restaurant that I would visit and pay good money for. The food is still included in the room rate, but it doesn't feel like an afterthought anymore.

It's a little bit off of Highway 1 and you won't get there just by chance. Went there due to a personal recommendation. It's one of the nicest, most beautiful places I've ever been for lunch. The view on the ocean is spectacular, the food is really good and the staff is very nice. Was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me!
Outdoors at Sur House is always a lovely atmosphere and the service tends to be pretty good. On past visits the food was much better. When I visited in late November 2025 for a three night stay with three dinners, dinner prep had really gone off a cliff. I feel like there isn’t the same skill or oversight as experienced on past visits. The ricotta pasta dish was a complete inedible salt bomb, the halibut fish of the day was the size of a brick and tasted like one, the artichoke heart appetizer was overcooked, tough, and barely edible. The breakfasts were simple and well executed with some nice choices. Lunch was also generally good although I would steer away from the new Mexican themed menu at the pool. It fell pretty flat and bland for me.

What a wonderful experience! From the greeting we received from Sophia, the personal time and attention from each of the supporting staff, the unique creations from the kitchen, and the exceptional service we received from Juan, all of it contributed to one of the best culinary experiences we have ever had.

Lovely visit for dinner at The Sur House. We were not staying there, just came to celebrate our anniversary. First, Richard was the perfect server. Very friendly and welcoming with great suggestions. Attentive, but not over-bearing. Ocean view for sunset was amazing! Though fog covered the ocean we were above it and sunset still stunning! We had the eggplant carpaccio- a lot of arugula stuffed in a thin slice of eggplant rolled. And the scallops, I think three thin slices in a creamy sauce. The scallops were delicate and delicious. The eggplant seemed almost like a salad with the amount of greens, tasty, but I love eggplant and wanted more of that flavor to dominate which it did not. I got the bistecca (steak) and hubs got the duck leg. Both tender and flavorful. We were satiated, but not stuffed. We requested to have our dessert by the fire, and Richard suggested we partake in the complimentary s'mores by the fireplace. Highly recommend. Of note quite a few dogs, not a nuisance, but if you have one, apparently welcome.
