Breakfast and Lunch

A complimentary breakfast can be enjoyed each morning at Sierra Mar either indoors in the dining room or outdoor on the patio. It features Californian staples from own Chef's Garden and the surrounding farms and terroir. Guests are treated to a cooked-to-order breakfast featuring eggs, omelets, fresh juices, seasonal fruits and berries, bagels, house-made granola, fresh-baked pastries, unique jams and savory meats. Lunch and snacks, including sandwiches, salads, pizzas and more, are available all day. The garden-centric, prix-fixe menu features a shared platter of seasonal small bites presented on a custom-carved wood board, followed by a Farmer's Market Salad for the table and a hearty main course.

Chef's Garden

Guests discover an Chef's Garden, located down in the meadow, with vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers in bloom. Ingredients are artfully prepared using locally foraged items discovered along the lush coastline and the nearby mountains, along with those grown here at Post Ranch in bountiful Chef's Garden. Post Ranch has just launched a brand new set of sustainability initiatives. Guests enjoy refreshing drinks or a delicious meal next to the warmth of the firepit and the fresh Big Sur breeze.

Fine Wines

Sierra Mar offers rare and exceptional fine wines, earning Wine Spectator's Grand Award annually since 2012. The acclaimed wine list is from a vast Grand Award-winning wine cellar, with over 15,000 bottles and 3,200 selections. The onsite restaurants are led by Chef Reylon Agustin, the Director of Culinary and Chef Il Hoon Kang, the Executive Chef. Sierra Mar showcases the underwater photography of Chuck Davis, a local cinematographer and photographer, capturing the ocean in detail. State-of-the-art ventilation replenishes the dining room with fresh, Big Sur air up to six times per hour. Ultra-efficient Mila HEPA air purifiers are placed throughout Sierra Mar. Table-top air purifiers from Wynd create a bubble of purified air at each table.

“Post Ranch Inn stands apart, less for its luxury and more for how deeply it connects you to Big Sur's raw beauty. The commitment to sustainability shines through, from the Chef's Garden to the artful menus featuring foraged ingredients. In my view, it's a place to savor both culinary artistry and the profound stillness of the California coast.”
