Hands down one of the most beautiful and delicious dinners I have ever experienced.
My girlfriend and I were staying at Lucia Lodge about 12 miles up the road and we were not impressed with their dinner menu they had up there so we decided to look for the closest restaurant and this was the spot.
We knew the views were going to be pretty good but we didn’t expect it to be absolutely breathtaking from where we were going to enjoy our meal.
We ordered our drinks and appetizers and just sat in our chairs admiring the view and taking in all the calmness and ocean air. It was indescribable how beautiful this view was.
Thinking since there were only a handful of restaurants in a 30 mile radius, we didn’t have high expectations for the food. We were absolutely floored very quickly by how great the apps were. Presentation and flavor, the thai green chili pork ribs and the dairy-free clam chowder deserve some awards.
The meat on the ribs easily came off the bones and the green sauce was exploding with delicious flavor.
The dairy-free clam chowder was just as good if not better than regular clam chowder. I have no idea how they were able to make a dish predominantly heavy on cream into something dairy-free while still keeping the flavor top notch, but they did it.
After our apps, we were so excited to try our main courses. My girlfriend got the lobster Mac n cheese while I ordered the burger and added bacon & avocado.
When the Mac n cheese came out, we were both amazed by the presentation of the dish. It came in a skillet and topped with some little flowers. It looked amazing. She dug into it and realized that they also did not skimp on the lobster. You definitely get what you pay for here. It was so rich and creamy.
When my burger came out, my mouth was absolutely watering. Again, presentation on point. Taking that first bite of the burger made me realize I was enjoying the best burger I’ve ever had in my entire life. The meat was so tender and juicy, the bacon was cooked perfectly, the caramelized onions added an amazing layer, and the bun was toasted to perfection. I was absolutely mind blown by how good every single bite was on this burger. I could have eaten an entire other one just to keep experiencing those flavors.
From now on, every time I am driving up the coast, I guarantee I will stop at this restaurant to eat. The experience was phenomenal and I couldn’t have asked for more.

Incredible dining experience. They only seat eight at a time and we spent almost three hours enjoying incredibly fresh and thoughtful servings. The chef and host know their sushi and sake. The fish often comes from the CA Central Coast. This is omakase, not sushi rolls, so if you’re looking for regular sushi, go elsewhere. The cost is worth it for a one or a kind experience. Know that if you’re staying in Big Sur, it will take an hour to get to Treebones and there’s no cell reception South of Big Sur, so be prepared. We left with two new friends...

Super intimate sushi bar overlooking the ocean. Wild Coast Sushi at Treebones is one of our absolute favorite places! They have two omakase seatings a night for around 8 people at a time. Focus is on local fish, and it's super fresh and delicious.
During our stay at Treebones last year we had a Friday reservation and ended up loving it so much that we scooped up a rare last minute opening for...
