    My sandwich.
    Melissa H.

    Ragged Point offers spectacular views of the California coast and a nice break from the drive. If there's a spot free in the parking lot, it is worth a short stop just for that. We dined on the spacious patio with our husky and found it pleasant enough (although just be aware, if you have a dog, they seem more "dog tolerant" than "dog friendly." Our waiter was visibly annoyed that we had ours with us). The menu had a nice range of choices and portions were large (too big, actually - we both had some left over but didn't think it would last the drive). While the food looked good, both my sandwich (pictured) and my husband's fish and chips were quite bland. Customer service could also be better.

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

    Fried chicken sandwich
    Michelle R.

    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.

    Improved view with wine!

    The service, menu, and ambiance at the Ragged Point Restaurant are my favorites on the Big Sur coast. The view, soothing sound of waves, feeling of solitude and overhanging hills are just amazing. The wine list offers an excellent selection of local, central coast wines. The dinner menu is impressive. Imaginative and offering something for any taste. Every dish I have tried was well prepared and presented, and delicious!

    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

    Halibut and Chips!
    Kara E.

    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 :)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Outside dining room
    Nathan S.

    We went for lunch on a Saturday while hiking in Big Sur. Ragged Point is a nice place with a variety of services available. On this day you could get a bbq, and watch the live band. We chose the dining room. The food was delicious and the service was ok. The coffee was excellent and so were the snickerdoodles.

    salmon salad, avocado mango salad, soba noodles
    Neha S.

    good food, friendly service (but a bit slow), and good views! it was a bit chilly outside (no space heaters) but they accommodated us with indoor seating so we were cozy

    Ragged point restaurant has Delicious food scenic mountain and ocean views of our amazing coastal area. We tried the halibut tacos and birra sandwich which were the bomb. Relaxing place to enjoy cocktails and wine outside in the beautiful garden. The staff was very friendly and helpful explaining the exceptional menu.

    Fish and chips
    Ron B.

    The wife and I shared the berry salad and the fish and chips. She had a cup of the chowder, which was delicious. We did find a hair in the salad, and I found that the batter was not so well cooked on a couple of the pieces of fish; however, the fish tasted very good and fresh. Service was OK, not overly attentive, but reasonably friendly. Ambience is amazing, their glass covered patio as well as outdoor seating in such a gorgeous location is what makes this place special. This would be a three star review at best without the location. Pricing was reasonable for the level of Restaurant.

    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."… Read more

We added two filet mignon steak fajitas but taco style. They were delicious the seasoned filet mignon along with the sweet onions and peppers with a queso fresco on a warm corn tortillas were outstanding We topped our terrific late lunch off with a moist flavorful piece of carrot cake and carmel sauce that we shared.

Who doesn't have French fries with a burger? Our waitress was so nice. She was probably the nicest server we have had here. She was very helpful. I wanted spicy margarita and she said they could make it for me even though it wasn't on the menu. It was the best spicy margarita I've had!! She also came over to check and make sure I liked it. She was very attentive even though she was so busy. I always love going here because of the location. I love being by the ocean and having an ocean view on vacation. I will go back but I do t know if I would get the burger again. I will or try something else next time.

On a warm April weekend, it was a beautiful place for brunch. We started with a few cocktails and mocktails. They were all well made and presented, but the favorites were the Cowboy and the Negroni. Cowboy had a nice presentation and had a smoky taste. Tomatini consommé did not have the flavor of Bloody Mary and tasted alright. Falafel Benedict was a nice idea with two eggs Benedict set on two falafels. It tasted good and falafel were a tasty and healthy replacement for English muffins. California Frittata came in a cast iron pan and was also well done. These two dishes were on the smaller portion size. Ventana breakfast and Margherita pizza were on the larger portion sizes and both tasted good. We tried three dessert and while they were all decent, none of them were impressive - Heirloom Wheat Waffles (shareable with 4 people), Strawberry Tiramisu (on the sour side) and Ricotta Zeppole (the custard was quite generic). The service was excellent, even though things moved at a relaxed pace. We did not mind it with the beautiful setting, weather and the view of the pacific.

JK I booked this on points a year in advance because it was the best way to get the cheapest point redemption at 45k points per night. Sadly this is going away with the devaluation... Ok onto the food, service, and vibes. Food - The breakfast was phenomenal...don't sleep on this place! While the dinners were also great. It's definitely memorable when you think about where you are and how the food is so darn good. It has a farm to table vibe while tasting like fine dining. The standouts to me was the Ventana Breakfast (basic but so goood) and the Branzino (catch of the day) which was cooked to perfection. Service - The breakfast service was sort of a miss on one day where they forgot my avocados to go with my Ventana Breakfast but we had great service at dinner. Our dinner servers on one night was Leo and he was so pleasant and kind of reminded me of Pedro Pascal lol Vibes - Each time we came here the music was exactly what I wanted. From sunset vibes like Tycho to 2000's soft rock....each meal had the right energy. It was relaxing but still upbeat. I found myself smiling and being grateful for being able to experience such a resort and restaurant! Overall I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5. The inconsistency in service was surprising but it wasn't a big deal. I highly recommend staying here at least once! Especially if you need a break from city life but are too bougie for real camping lol
