Sierra Mar

Fine dining restaurant · Monterey County

"Seemingly in the clouds, 1,200 feet high at the edge of a cliff, your view of the sunset (and ocean, if it's not foggy) from this glass-sided restaurant in the luxury Post Ranch Inn is unforgettable. The menu is dotted with Asian influences, from mushrooms and cashews two ways (roasted maitake mushrooms in XO-mushroom sauce, plus crumbled cashews in cashew cream), halibut in a green curry sauce (that uses mint, basil, cilantro, and jalapeño instead of the usual Thai ingredients) to yellowfin tuna with togarashi mayo, ponzu, and avocado. The 136-page wine list is France- and California-focused." - Sharon McDonnell
