Best WLM Reviews
My experience here was fantastic. My mom and I stopped for lunch while exploring the Big Sur area. We got the fish and chips with iced tea and it hit the spot. Very fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced for the portion size and location of the restaurant. We had unobstructed views of the ocean from the dining area and the service was great. Would definitely recommend stopping here!
This place offers an amazing view as we dined overlooking the marvelous Pacific Ocean. There is ample parking available, and when we arrived, it was peaceful with only a few diners. It's worth noting that the place is expensive, but you're paying for the exceptional location and view.
Very polite staff. I ordered a salmon and onion omelet. It was wonderful! The view of the ocean is blocked quite a bit by the decorations, but still a nice place for a meal. Outdoor seating is available.
⚠️ DO NOT EAT HERE. 20% AUTOMATIC GRATUITY ADDED FOR PARTY OF 2 ⚠️Rip off & disgusting food thats way overpriced. The potatoes tasted old and microwaved and for basic breakfast food (2 waters, diner coffee, 2 pancakes, scrambled eggs with home fries & eggs benedict with home fries) it cost $72!!!! The service was even good either it was awkwardly quiet inside and was a weird vibe.
Extraordinarily over priced for the quality you are receiving. $25 is the average price for breakfast. The omelet was pretty flavorless and a disappointment. I think you’d be better off doing the basic eggs and sausage and seasoning it yourself. It’s definitely because this is one of the only food locations around the area. If you find yourself camping and looking for a hot meal you will definitely get that. No wifi.
Honestly you can't complain about this place, it's in a remote region along the PCH.. yes you're going to spend quite a bit by eating here but it's honestly worth it for the views. On this certain day unfortunately the fog wouldn't let you see the ocean but on other days that I have come you usually can see far out the ocean. The staff are great & Kind. Fortunately they don't offer Wi-Fi anymore, so please make sure your card doesn't get blocked out here! Or have some cash just in case. Food is great
The food here is expensive! $40 for a plate of fish chips, $28 for some cheese ravioli, and $7 for a glass of Diet Coke! The food quality is not worth that much, I’ve never seen these kinds of prices even at much nicer restaurants!
We ordered the halibut which was bland and not worth $45. The latte was more foam than coffee and milk, and inconsistent with the two cups we ordered. When I asked if they could add more coffee to the one that was mainly foam, the answer was no. $8 for a glass of foam with a drip of latte in it. Times two. On top of it, they have an "automatic gratuity" of $12.60 to guarantee themselves a tip for bad service and sub-par food. I recommend you skip this eatery and snack until you get to the next. A waste of $88. Two weeks, five cities, this was the biggest disappointment in terms of F&B.
