Sierra Mar
Sierra Mar Review
Ocean-view dining doesn't get much better than this. Perched at cliff's edge 1,200 feet above the Pacific at the ultra-chic Post Ranch Inn, Sierra Mar serves cutting-edge American food made from mostly organic, seasonal ingredients. The four-course prix-fixe option is stellar. The restaurant's wine list is one of the most extensive in the nation.
