Restaurants near Big Sur River Inn

Tim made great recommendations and took great care of us. Definitely the highlight of the evening, which says alot because the food was delicious and the view of the sunset was amazing!

Country French setting creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Wait staff was attentive and efficient. Menu choices were limited. Loved the roasted corn chowder and crab bisque. The dijon lemon chicken was tasty with the cream sauce, but would have been better using a chicken breast instead of a leg and partial thigh. That would have made it easier to eat and cut with a knife. Toasted bread was served with a delicious pesto sauce on the side. Very nice place for a gathering with friends.

It has been many years since I've dined at Casanova. I was happy to learn that the years have only enhanced the charm, atmosphere and cuisine. Both our server and the sommelier were excellent. Both were engaging, kind, and offered excellent descriptions & recommendations. The seafood linguine was superb, as was the Sancerre wine that I paired with it. Our food came out in a timely manor and was piping hot when served. I honestly wish I lived in Carmel (for many reasons) but if I did I would dine at Casanova weekly.

Best place on earth! Food was exceptionally good, service was excellent, and the view… wow

It was fun, nice vibe, limited menu for lunch but nice wine list.
