DEETJEN’S BIG SUR INN

Truly special place, with amazing staff and great food.

We loved our time at Deetjen’s. We stayed in the Faraway room, which was an incredibly cozy home base for us. The interior design was impeccable, the bed was comfy, and the fireplace (with ample firewood and newspaper supplies provided) was superb.

We were quite impressed with the food. Awesome breakfast and dinner. Great elevated home cooking with fresh ingredients. We also had dinner at Post Ranch during our stay, which was very good (and hard to beat the view!), but I’d take dinner at Deetjen’s any day.

We visited during the weekend of the Highway 1 erosion to the north of Big Sur, and the staff had us covered every step of the way. They gracefully offered to let us extend our stay for as long as we needed to/were stuck in Big Sur, and then when the convoy out was announced, we heard the news first from a call from Deetjen’s. Truly fabulous handling of the situation, and they’re such a positive force in the community.

Totally recommend a stay here!

Favorite place to say in Big Sur, the place is amazing. They need to train their staff on proper customer service. Very condescending staff.

We were there for Christmas and indeed a great spot. Enjoyed the dining experience, with great specials, and then also the breakfast experience that included an order of the blueberry pancake, with the place full, and the space and staff were absolutely fantastic.

Definitely recommend the restaurant. The chef(s) there are on top of it.

We went to Deetjen's restaurant.
This is a great restaurant all around.
Great food, great quality meal, great service, nice people and an extremely cozy and romantic spot.

Honestly the food here is insanely good. One of the reviews says Michelin star worthy and it’s 100% worth the trip. Whatever the specials are get them. We had the seafood paella and the short rib. Both were amazing!!
