This is a must stop for lunch while in Big Sur. This was originally Rita Hayworth’s and Orson Welles home and now a restaurant for decades. The views are spectacular! The food is ok…your paying for the view ! Get there early for lunch as it gets busy especially on weekends! They have a great shop there also.
