DinierenPoised on the brink of a rocky seaside bluff in Big Sur, the vantage point here gives unbeatable sweeping views of the Pacific coast, thanks to a panoply of floor-to-ceiling windows. Housed inside the exclusive Post Ranch Inn resort, the breathtaking location certainly seems to call out for romantic celebrations like honeymoons or anniversaries, while the rustic modern décor and friendly service promote comfort and calm.Stunning vistas aside, the approachable four-course dinner menu (and simpler three-course lunch) offers a bounty of California seasonality, from Monterey abalone with garden lettuce to homemade cavatelli with summer squash. Desserts, like a peanut pavé with caramel and Valrhona chocolate ganache, are both satisfying and easy on the eyes.
