Sierra Mar is the kind of place where the chefs behind the scenes are most definitely using kitchen tweezers to play Operation with nasturtium flowers. That’s the kind of precision it takes to pull a dining experience off like Sierra Mar. The restaurant isn’t just a place with beautiful food and breathtaking views; it’s a meal that embodies Big Sur in its most refined sense, thanks to Executive Chef Il Hoon Kang and Chef de Cuisine Jason Woodall. Their tasting menus vary by what’s in season, but here’s a hint: They pride themselves on precision and consistency, but also their ongoing partnerships with local purveyors such as Ad Astra Bread Co., The Cheese Shop in Carmel, Brokaw Farms in Soledad, and Monterey Abalone, to name a few.
