Experience unforgettable views of the green hills of Big Sur dipping dramatically downward hundreds of feet to meet with the azure Pacific Ocean. The secluded woodland location seems a million miles away from anything else, though Silicon Valley is only an hour away. Diners enjoy rich game, fresh seafood, and prime cuts of meat prepared California-style Nouvelle Cuisine, which means that portions are small and artistically prepared. Many Monterey and Carmel vintages are stocked in the cellars. There is shuttle service to convey diners up the hill to the restaurant.
