The views are breath taking and the food is quite lovely - Cafe Kevah offers a devine brunch menu. The ingrediants are fresh and light. My favorite is the Cafe Kevah Benedict with blue crab with avocado; the Arugula Salad with goat cheese and bing cherries is also nice and refreshing. more

The main reason to go to the Nepenthe is to have a glass of wine from their large selection and sit outside to enjoy the beautiful, expansive ocean view. Their menu is fairly limited, though we had a very tasty salmon appetizer and a goat cheese and garic appetizer. more

We spent a magical few hours here. The food was okay, not hugely memorable but nice enough. But what a view! I've never eaten anywhere with a better view, to be honest. I could have sat there all day. And the staff we encountered were very relaxed and friendly. I would definitely go again. more

Everyone is right when they say you go for the views but the food wasn't bad either. You can't even really begin to describe the view - we sat outside at the counter table - didn't have to wait long - guy at the door took our names and we got a beer and were waiting by the fire pit... more

This restaurant is set up in the hills above the Pacific, so you have a gorgeous view. As if that were not enough, the food is great. We went for lunch and made a meal of it.

But do we really come to Nepenthe because of the food? Not really. We come because of the view. We come because of the ambience. We come because some of us miss... more

This place is classic! After a stunning drive on Highway 1 and stopping here for a lovely lunch, you still get to enjoy the view of the Pacific Ocean. Very bohemian feel. more

The architects who designed this restaurant and the chefs (not really) who occupy the kitchen have and continually ruin what is a beautiful location of land. This place needs to be leveled and redesigned with a better restaurant management staff brought in. On a beautiful day, spend some money for lunch on the terrace at the Ventana Inn across the... more

Recommended by a friend, Nepenthe was a huge disappoinment!! My father and I waited 20 minutes at the bar and was never able to place our drink order. One bartender couldn't remember who had ordered and the other bartender totally snubbed us as we politely tried to catch his attention. No one ever offered to seat us and the atmosphere... more
