Our fish and steak were so good. The views of the ocean were so beautiful and we saw 5 whales while dining. Our waitress was so nice and genuine.

It's not fantastic, service is so so and the dining room is tight. But, it's overlooking the beautiful coast and is worth a stop.

The restaurants along Highway 1 fall into two categories: the well-known fine-dining establishments in Big Sur proper that charge outlandish prices to justify their ocean views...and the roadside cafes that serve up some very average fare to the tourists. Lucia Lodge Restaurant somehow manages to offer up very good food, reasonable prices, and a view to die for. They're famous... More

What a jewel! Stopped for lunch and enjoyed great service and better food. The fish and chips are enough to split between two normal appetites and are as good as I remember from England. Sandwiches are delicious and the fries that come with them are great. A tad costly but restaurants are not plentiful along some parts of the PCH... More

Lucia lodge is a hotel with very basic amenities. But that is the only hotel in that area with best ocean view to every room . Its located on a hill top, that make the ocean view even more scenic .

We ordered fish and chips as they were rated in the top 10 along the coast. Indeed, they were not only very tasty but the serving was rather large. If you aren't a huge eater then two of you could probably share this meal. We felt the price was a bit on the high side. This was a very fine... More

While driving along the Pacific Coast Highway we planned to stop at Big Sur for lunch. It is not easy to find a place to stop for lunch but I had selected in advance this place and it was perfect! Nothing fancy but all we wanted was a good lunch and a terrific view from Big Sur coast. It was... More

This place is cute and family ran. It's definitely pricey (we paid like $16 for a grilled cajun chicken sandwich and fries). But the food is great (hot, fresh, well-prepared, good seasonings, etc.) and the views from the deck are beautiful!!! Great service too!
