    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

    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!

    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 :)

    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!

    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

    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.

    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 decided on their bowl ofseafood chowder it was velvety thick excellent generous portions of scallops, clams, shrimp complemented with small bites of potato's with all the perfect spices it was a 10. 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. James our waiter was super friendly. STAX along with their perfected menu has large impressive selection of local and notable wines and champagne.

Ambience was chic~outdoors on a tall table people watching while having amazing conversation. Also, dog friendly and enjoyed watching dogs make small talk. Lol

    Had lunch here on May 16, 2026 at approximately 1330 hrs. The restaurant was pretty busy, full…read morepatio. We had about a 5 minute wait to be seated, we asked for first availability and we were seated indoors. Parking is extremely challenging, we had to park on the street and a bit away. The rating is based on two things food and service. There were 5 in our party so rather than put two tables together (empty tables were available) and seat us comfortably, they crammed us in a table that sat 4 and added an extra chair at the head of the table. We literally had no extra space for our food. Appetizer: oysters on a half shell. 6 oysters served with a side of cocktail sauce with horseradish and one small lemon wedge. Oysters tasted fresh Mains: clam chowder in a bread bowl. The clam chowder here is okay. Menu description: Homemade New England-style clam chowder served piping hot in our crusty sourdough round (contains bacon). Sourdough bowl was far from "crusty", bread was lightly toasted (did not have any brown toasted color at all. Bacon was nonexistent as were traditional potato chunks. The chowder was pretty grainy. I would not order this again. Very disappointing. Fish and Chips: menu description: Best catch white fish lightly breaded served with lemon, tartar sauce, and shoestring French fries. When asked what fish was used, waiter did not know and guessed cod. The fish were about 5 pieces of small fish. The fish was not greasy and tasted freshly fried. The tartar sauce was pretty good. The fries were, not my favorite, kinda hard and even worse once they cooled down. Other than the French fry quality, I would order this dish again and try to substitute the fries for a coleslaw. Fish Tacos: Two tacos served with corn tortillas stuffed with lightly breaded white fish served with cheese, jalapeño cream slaw, and salsa fresca. I did not try the tacos but my friend said they were pretty tasty. Dessert: Molten Chocolate Cake. A chocolate cake filled with dark chocolate truffle served warm with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. This dessert was served warm and it was delicious. Service 10/10. Waiter was very friendly and attentive. Overall, Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill has pretty amazing ocean views and ambience is pretty laid back. The food however, was hit and miss and parking is extremely challenging during peak hours.

Beautifully prepped morsels. The bacon added another level piquing our interest with each bite. Server was friendly but was not much for steering us through the menu. Ordered a side of coleslaw after hearing another table add it to their fish & chips order. Our fish & chips orders seemed overdone for our tastes. It is a nice location and one can stroll the beach afterwards.

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!
