“Spent the night in San Simeon and arrived to check in for our hotel at 8:45 pm. Apparently, most places here closes at 9 pm. And sure enough everyone has a closed sign on their window. Saw this place with a few people still inside and decided to pop my head at their door and said "will you please serve us some food". Ha ha ha. I practically begged them and the guy running the place said "I'll take care of you. Come on in". At this point we didn't care what kind of food was left we just wanted to eat. What a great treat that we had some fantastic food. The chicken pesto pasta was nice and creamy. The seafood Cajun pasta had just enough bite in it. Food came out nice and hot and didn't feel or taste like it was rushed. The host and the staff was very accommodating. I truly appreciate the hospitality and thank you so much for feeding a couple of starving travelers.“

Ragged Point Inn Wine Bar American • $$
19009 CA-1, San Simeon

“I'm surprised by the low reviews of this restaurant .... this place is fantastic! We came here for dinner after an 8 mile long hike in the Big Sur wilderness and were blessed with a fresh, hearty meal. Let's start with the atmosphere! The entire restaurant is covered in glass, so the breathtaking views of ragged point - the foamy ocean waves, the precipitous sea cliffs, the golden bluffs of the Silver Peak Wilderness - hit you from all directions. The service was very good. Our waiter took our order right away and our food was brought out soon after. Saving the best for last ... the food was FIRE! I got the chicken achiote. The chicken was perfectly tender and the risotto was delightfully creamy. My mom got the fish & chips and thought they were delectable. The halibut was extremely juicy and the fries were warm, crispy and not at all greasy! What really impressed us was how fresh our food was. After a long, exhausting hike, our meal at Ragged Point Restaurant was a welcoming and nourishing end to our day. We 100% recommend this restaurant for any occasion!“

The portions are well served and might be sufficient for two people. We also ordered wine by the glass and got a chocolate tower for dessert. Everything we ordered was great and we paid around $80 for the full meal for two.We arrived at 6pm and there was plenty of seats, however when we left the place was almost full so make sure to arrive early. Not sure if they make reservations.“

“Amazing dining spot in Cambria! Everything was delicious and the service was great. Loved their Olallieberry burger, great combination of sweet jam and savory patty from the nearby hearst ranch beef ??? The rib eye was outstanding, cooked to a perfect medium rare. Ahi tuna was amazing as well, delicious and served with tasty cucumber salad and fresh avocado slices. All their food not only had great quality, but was served in large portions. I definitely recommend this little food gem in Cambria!!!Kid-friendliness: Kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

Shrimp Penne Pasta

“We stayed overnight at the Lodge to see the holiday lights and decided to try their restaurant. So glad we did! We were sat promptly in a lovely back room near a warm fireplace and water & bread was brought immediately. Our waiter Clinton was exceptional and clearly a seasoned wait staffer. I had the pan seared scallops on wilted greens with a creamy mushroom sauce...it was delectable and the scallops perfectly cooked to remain tender. Best I've ever had. Hubby had the ravioli and it was good but not all that memorable. When the table next to us got delivered a special complementary birthday dessert , I asked Clinton if my birthday last month could count for this dessert. He laughed but didn't really answer me. We decided we were too full for dessert anyways and I ordered decaf coffee. Out came the coffee with the special complementary dessert! It was a small Bundt cake like loaf of chocolate goodness with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Very yummy!“

But we did find that this was one of the only places to sit at a bar and to order alcohol and food in downtown Cambria. We enjoyed our quick stop in for a couple of beers and some Appetizers!“

“Driving along Moonstone Beach area, we found the Cow Tipper and decided to stop for a quick coffee and breakfast. Looked like kind of a fast-food place inside, and we weren’t expecting much. However, the food was great! Three large, fluffy pancakes with added crisp bacon were delicious! Eggs over easy, with chicken-apple sausage and tasty, well-seasoned home style potatoes were excellent! Starbucks coffee topped off the meal. The chef knows what he’s doing!! Also, have to say that the man taking our order was friendly, helpful, and changed the feel of the place from fast food to a welcoming restaurant! He really was charming and we asked his name so we could give a shout out to him. So thank you, Blake, for making our first visit so pleasant! Hope your boss reads this review!!“
