Coast Drive to Big Sur
This past weekend my husband wanted to take a drive to Big Sur and enjoy a meal at the
Big Sur River Inn and Restaurant. As it turned out, it was a perfect day for both the drive and the meal.
Driving down the Coast reminded me of how fortunate I am to live in such a lovely place. Once again, I realized I don’t enjoy the place I live as much as I should. One tends to get caught up in the busyness of life and not stop to smell the roses—so to speak. There is no question natural beauty abounds here on the Central Coast and our drive did not disappoint. It was truly a feast for the senses. Then there was the enjoyment of a meal at the Big Sur River Inn.
It had been some time since I stopped and had a meal—not because I don’t like to eat there, but once again just not taking the time. When we arrived, we had just missed breakfast so instead had lunch. From the moment we entered the restaurant the staff was warm friendly and welcoming. Then there was the food!! It was fabulous!! The meals weren’t your ordinary sandwich and omelet, but extraordinary cuisine. The sandwiches came with fries or salad and the portions were perfect. We all left satisfied and not stuffed.
I don’t mean to sound like a commercial, but whether you are a local that hasn’t visited the River Inn in a while, or a visitor to the area, do take the time to drive the Coast and enjoy a meal at the River Inn.
