haven't had dinner there yet. had lunch. view is great. but the lunch menu needs more entrees. it mainly just has apps and sandwiches and pizza. more

Breathtaking view and heavenly food. The only catch is the long drive but it's definitely a rewarding one. more

To be fair, I did not stay overnight, but wanted to scout the location for a possible future splurge. Most people who know to look up Post Ranch Inn already know it is $895 minimum for accommodations. I would say there are three approaches one could take to spending this kind of money. One is going on an expense account.... more

The surroundings are spectacular: unparalleled views over the ocean and architecture that delights the eye. The acoustics and ambiance were well-suited for a most romantic evening. The food is 5-stars. It is now 2 weeks later and I still savor the memory of the abalone 1st course and the lambshank risotto with the third course of my 4-course prix fixe... more

Boy, am I glad we didn't listen to the bad reviews of this restaurant. Otherwise, we would've missed out on a great experience! My husband and I were vacationing in Northern Cal for 10 days over the New Year, and decided to make a lunch reservation here on our way back to Carmel from Cambria. From the moment we walked... more

My hunsband and I stayed across the street at Ventana Inn & Spa, had a lovely dinner at Cielo one night and decided to give Sierra Mar (across the street at Post Ranch Inn) a... more

Our wedding party consisted of us, my parents, and my new father-in-law. The dinner was part celebratory, part our parents getting to know eachother, etc..... more

We booked for lunch at Sierra Mar, Post Ranch Inn several weeks in advance. We drove in, and were directed away from the coast to a temporary restaurant - apparently we "should have been told" that the restaurant with the view was closed and temporarily located in a field away from the complex. Someone else confirmed that they also had... more

I try and get to Sierra Mar every year from England, and it never disappoints. Arrive early evening to watch the sea mists roll in, and the light slowly change. The food is always wonderful and surpising. I've always found the service attentive, good humoured and knowledgable. Sure it's expensive, but a treat. It is now the sum of many... more
