    Stunning views with a coffee.
    Lexi G.

    The food and the views are INCREDIBLE! But the service is questionable? We stayed at Ragged Point for 3 days for our Honeymoon and ate at this restaurant several times. What we discovered is the night shift and day shift are two completely different vibes. The Day Shift is happy to check in on you, accommodating, and kind. The Night Shift could genuinely not care if you're there. After being sat pretty quickly on a not so busy Tuesday Night, we watched everyone around us be served for 40 minutes before I could get anyone's attention. Lo and behold, the only person I could grab was the incredibly kind hostess who ended up taking our order. Once the server saw that we were actually being helped he decided he wanted to be our server...kind of? No apologies, nothing. And then he performed his disappearing act again. The hostess ended up coming back to check in on us and gave us some cheesecake. Get this girl a serving position. The Pro's: The Butternut Squash Salad, Cheesecake, Pancakes, Classic Breakfast, and Soup of the Day were phenomenal. The views, gorgeous. The morning crew, lovely. The Hostess with pearl earrings, nice. The Con's: Being ignored by every server and busser with zero accountability. RIP It's a great spot, and perfect for breakfast. Hopefully they can figure out dinner service if they want people to eat.

    Fried chicken sandwich

    The best views! Grab a seat on the patio on a sunny day if you're able to. Although the ocean isn't very visible from the restaurant itself, the outside grounds are so well landscaped and you will see many beautiful birds. Once you finish your meal, take a stroll to the viewpoints on the grounds. Absolutely stunning views of the coast! Iconic photo ops. The food at the restaurant was cooked well. However, overall it lacked salt and seasoning. Also, the fried chicken on my mom's meal was extremely overcooked. If they can correct the seasoning and not served overcooked chicken, this would have been a 5 star review.

    Halibut and Chips!

    We came in 15 minutes before closing and yet they still accommodated us with grace and energy, we are so grateful! Our server was friendly and made us feel welcome and wanted, which was great after our 4 hour drive to the location, and no other food options were nearby. The chicken and risotto was delightful, I highly recommend. I ate every last bite! The fish and chips were well received, too. And they have a healthy portion of chicken fingers for those in your crew who aren't into fancy things. Not to mention the view is breathtaking! It has high potential to be very romantic. I guess that's why people choose to get married here :)

    The views were nice.

    We were seated right away, which was good, but then it took someone over 20 minutes to come & get our drink order. I ordered a Bloody Mary with a salt rim & my husband ordered a large beer. 20 minutes later she brought the drinks. The Mary had a Tahine rim. When I told her I asked for a salt rim she apologized & said she would replace it. In the meantime we ordered our food. The jerk Chicken sandwich & fish & chips. She brought back the Mary with no rim. When I pointed it out she said " I put the salt in the drink" What? I just kept the drink. She did indeed put the salt in the drink which made it unsinkable. That & the very generous amounts of hot sauce. We get our food, the Chicken is cooked like Jerky. When I told my husband, he said well you or other Jerk Chicken . Jerk is a sauce. My husband ate my sandwich & his fish and chips. I left hungry and deeply disappointed. My husband however, was satisfied with his meal. 3 hours later he was running to the bathroom throwing up and diarrhea. Yep. Food poisoning. We paid $75 for this horrible, horrible meal. I considered myself lucky that I didn't eat the food. Save your money, There is great food in Cambria.

    View was amazing. Customer service was a plus an easy place to take a bite.! a view to digest while digesting your food!

    Birria sandwich
    Lisa O.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our late lunch here while driving this area of Big Sur Hwy 1. The food was great and came out quickly. They had a menu full of great items, and we enjoyed the fish and chips and the Birria sandwich and onion rings. Loved that they had Pepsi products as well. Service was quick and friendly. Views from the outside siding were great & they also had ample indoor dining. Definitely walk around and enjoy the property like we did. The views of the seaside cliffs are amazing and there is a nice path to walk around. The gift shop on property is also nice. We plan to come back here someday and stay on the property, as it looks great!

    Fish n chips
    Edward M.

    DO NOT GET THE FISH N CHIPS. For $22, you think you would get a decent amount of fish. See pic, it was so sad and disappointing. I've seen chicken nuggets bigger than these. NO, I did not eat any, this is what I saw when I opened the box. Totally disgusted.

    Eight of us on a eBike ride arrived for lunch (with reservations) and were immediately seated inside with a nice view of the great scenery behind the restaurant. There is also beautiful patio seating. Service was friendly and great, with frequent touches to refill waters and teas and inquire other needs. The clam chowder was excellent with a thickened base full of clam and potatoes. The Butternut Salad, Monte Cristo Sandwich and all the desserts were terrific! There is also a Coffee Bar that serves espresso and tea drinks, beer and wine, pastries, and to-go orders from 8 am to 3 pm every day.

    I must say we were very disappointed that Hwy 1 was closed on our way to Monterrey but on our return back to the 46 we stopped to eat and boy were we happy we did so! Gabby the waitress was so sweet and courteous. She was also very patient as I couldn't decide what to order. Now the food was very filling and appetizing. Keep in mind we sat outside and the ambiance was so beautiful as we could easily view the coast! Thank you for the good food, great customer service and beautiful view

    Toasted marshmallow latte, Big Sur fog tea latte
    Elaine L.

    Such a pretty little spot. Nice place to have some brunch on the way back from Big Sur/camping. Super pretty and quaint and lovely live music when we were there. Nice views of the ocean as well. There's also a hotel, coffee shop, snack bar, small market and gift shop as well. The drinks from the coffee shop are really good. We got some drinks to go after, but during our meal we really enjoyed the Big Sur Fog Tea Latte - earl grey with caramel and chocolate. It tasted like a fancy milk tea, but the focus is still on the tea flavor. The flavor was very earl grey tea forward and beautifully complimented with the caramel and chocolate flavors. Toasted marshmallow was great too. As for the food, the crab benedict was delicious - the crab cakes were perfectly seasoned. Th calamari katsu was very unique - tender and not chewy/rubbery at all. Good breading, nice and crisp. The side of macaroni salad was really good, love the big pasta they used for it and it wasn't heavy at all or super heavy on the mayo like it usually is. The biscuits were fire, beautifully flaky with good raspberry jam, served with butter and honey. I enjoyed the shrimp and grits, the shrimp was cooked perfectly, not rubbery at all, perfect seasoning and fresh. It's good that the grits came with the toppings of the shrimp, bacon and peppers, otherwise the grits would have sadly been a bit bland/underseasoned. The cheese flavor was not strong enough with the grits. It still balanced well with the saltiness of the bacon and shrimp otherwise. I would come back here when I visit Big Sur again, Deetjen's is still my favorite, but this place is better than Whale Watcher's Cafe.

    The dinner was delicious and probably one of the best filets I've had in a long time. Also, sitting outside for sunset was so beautiful

    What times do they serve breakfast?

    Are dogs on leash accepted on outdoor dining patio?

    Yes, but they can be a problem unless VERY well behaved and majority are not. Tables are close together & service is slow. Squirrels & other critters dogs love to chase are in abundance & there's a lot of temptation to follow "The chase."… 

    What time does lunch end?

    Call the restaurant; times can change depending on days, holidays etc. During busy days/times food goes fast. Get there before the crowd.

The views are absolutely breathtaking, the restaurant is spotless, and even the restrooms were immaculate. You can tell they take pride in every detail. The service was exceptional. My son is a very picky eater and pretty much only eats salmon and Wendy's nuggets. Even though salmon wasn't on the menu, the staff went above and beyond to make it happen for him, seasoned simply with salt and pepper and cooked extra well done. He loved every bite. That level of customer service is hard to find. The food was outstanding, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the general manager was genuinely kind. They were even hosting a private event, yet still found a way to make room for us and made us feel completely welcome instead of rushed. This unexpected side quest ended up being one of the highlights of our drive along the coast. Amazing food, incredible service, unforgettable ocean views, and a team that truly cares about its guests. I would absolutely recommend Sur House to anyone in the area, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm driving through.

The rillettes de gibier had was packed with a fatty flavor and just a hint just a hint of gaminesss that made it a great start to the meal. The braised short ribs were just so tender and the mushroom flavor really shined with each bite. It was woody and had a natural, forest-floor quality that grounded the heavy, fatty richness of the short ribs. I could eat that every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I had a few questions about the wines, but unfortunately, the staff member working didn't seem very knowledgeable about the selections.
