    Napenthe, a family owned restaurant, is the only one that I have actually patronized in Big Sur. I recommend it for a $10 hamburger and a $5 beer. It’s been a while since I’ve been there, but I remember the food being very good, but not cheap.

    You will also be paying for the view.

    A unique quality is the outdoor patio stadium seating that looks over 40 miles of California Coast. Each time I have been here, the view has been different. I enjoyed one time when the fog rolled in, making it seem that you were eating on top of the clouds! Pretty magnificent.

    Favorite Dish: Lunch is about 1/2 expensive as dinner.

     Hi, Is the Sea Otter the black comma mark in the photo? How fantastic to see these creatures. I think I'm being persuaded to visit California after all. Thanks, Mike    		berne1 Fri Jul 16, 2004 12:05 UTC

     When I look at these photos, it makes me want to get a nice bottle of cab, and light up and chill. Great Mood you got goin' on w/ these photos. Mahalo!    		Guantanamera Tue Sep 2, 2003 03:00 UTC
