OK, so I was a Chef Concierge for Ritz and FS for a number of years. I have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the states...hats off to Sierra Mar. I'm not just talking food...the entire experience. The location, the set up, staff, and of course, the chefs. Knocked my socks off!!! Don't even get me started on... more

This review is for the restaurant only. We made a reservation for lunch at the Post Ranch Inn on our drive up the coast based on the recommendation of a friend who stayed there. Given the nature of driving the coast our timing was not perfect, and we arrived for our noon reservation 50 minutes early. Instead of being offered... more

We had some wonderful food at Sierra Mar. For lunch, the appetizers seemed to be the best of the meal, though. Delicious, fresh Aqua Fresca. A huge amuse bouche of various olives, pickled cauliflower and hummus. Great bread. Pot stickers that were from heaven (more like a fried ravioli) with an amazing fresh plum sauce. World-Class french fries. A nothing... more

My husband and I made a reservation here for dinner. We had been here previously for our honeymoon about 5 years ago and the food had been excellent. Here are the dishes that I ordered from the prix fixe menu: 1. a layered potato dish--to be honest, this dish was bland. It reminded me of potato chips layered with mashed... more

My wife and I had a wonderful few days at the Post Ranch Inn recently. It was a delight to stroll down from our suite of rooms in the evening to the restaurant which commands a fabulous position high above the ocean. There are three comments I will make about the dining experience. First of all, the food was absolutely... more

Service was admirable. And a bit overpriced. Are we glad we had a dinner here? Most definetey. Was the food delicious? Without a doubt. But something was lacking and... more

We had a 6pm reservation but we had gotten caught in traffic from an accident... So I called the Sierra Mar to let them know we were running late and they were gracious to hold our reservations for us. Thank you for that. Ok lets start with the view, its absolutely breathtaking how this restaurant is built into the side... more

Four good sized courses over two and a half hours with a beautiful sunset right in the middle. If this sounds good to you, go for the 6 p.m. seating. I will say that this meal was better than Charlie Trotters at half the price and quadrupal the ambience. How can you beat hanging off the dramatic western edge of... more

Was staying in Carmel and made the trek our to the restaurant for an early (6:00) seating. Felt very welcome upon arrival and had great fun chatting with the bartender while they were setting up our table. And what a table! A romantic table for two, front row looking down onto the cliffs and out onto the ocean at sunset.... more
