Big Sur - San Simeon

The service and food were fantastic. The restaurant is located away from busy crowds and has lovely decor. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner, both of which were excellent.

We stayed in San Simeon for one night during a road trip and our hotel was offering discounts for this restaurant. We found it a bit unusual that Big Sur was the...

I would choose another restaurant in the area over this one. I played it safe and ordered the Philly Cheese, which was just okay.

This restaurant offers a wide variety on their menu with options ranging from seafood, meat, pasta, and more. We began our meal with a shared appetizer of fried calamari. Unlike the usual tubes and tentacles, the calamari was served in strips, lightly breaded and tender, and came with cocktail and tartar sauces. I ordered the shrimp and chips, while my wife opted for the chicken mushroom fettuccine. Both dishes were filling and satisfying, though not particularly innovative. The service was quick and efficient, and overall the food was good and simple.

The portions were large and the breakfast was delicious with good coffee. The waitress was friendly and our order was served quickly, despite there only being one visible chef. I was pleased with the overall dining experience.
