Sierra Mar
WINNER

Sierra Mar, the acclaimed restaurant at the iconic Post Ranch Inn, is perched 1,200 feet above the rugged cliffs of Big Sur, California, offering a hyper-local, seasonal dining experience in one of the world’s most breathtaking restaurant settings. Celebrated for its award-winning wine list, inventive cocktails, warm hospitality, and unforgettable ocean views, Sierra Mar delivers a true bucket-list meal. Helmed by Director of Culinary Reylon Agustin and Executive Chef Il Hoon Kang, the restaurant’s culinary program is rooted in sustainability and ethical sourcing, showcasing the season’s finest ingredients, many grown just steps away in the Chef’s Garden and via partnerships with nearby farmers and purveyors. Sierra Mar pairs distinctive cuisine with never-before-seen vantage points of the Pacific Ocean, creating a dining experience that is both deeply connected to place and impossible to replicate.
