★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jakaria Ahmed · Dec 2025

While staying in the hotel their not too much option to eat for dinner unless you wants to drive in dark for 20 minutes so we end up eating here some of the mixed reviews we seen but we still decided to eat. Dinner menu prices are kind of expensive. But the meal is big enough. Staff aren’t welcoming the guests. Service charges was 15% added automatically but don’t see mention anywhere but that’s make sense because most of their customers are Indian while we were there. I also work in the restaurant industry for last 9 years and very few Indians give tip. I was assuming that’s why they added the tip with every check even though you are party of 2. I seen customers are mentioned in other reviews as well. One of the middle table that we sit was keep wobbly

Food & dessert were delicious! This photo shows a plate of salmon & another of the fisherman’s combo. Both very good but the salmon was a little dry. For dessert, we had the apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Service was great & the ambience felt nice overall.

Friendly staff, owned by a family. The food overall was really good. First time I've had a steak at a restaurant, but I'd say it was delicious. The atmosphere was also nice, I enjoyed the music being played. The only problem I had was limited food options since I have a dairy allergy. They did their best to accommodate, and I expected going in not to have a whole lot of options.

Went there for breakfast very early in the morning while visiting Big Sur Area. The restaurant was almost empty at that time. The server welcomed us nicely and sat us. We ordered Spinach & Mushroom Scramble with toast, Pancake with sunny side up eggs. The foos was great but it took a long time to come out the kitchen. That is the only complaint.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jasmin Hussain · Jul 2025

We stopped there as there were not much breakfast choices around. I feel it was somewhat overpriced for the quality of food. It was a below average diner. The menue was vast though. I had the eggs benedict which were not well prepared. The hash browns were dry and pale. The staff was friendly though and even refilled our water bottles.
