We had the pleasure of dining at Mickey’s Place during the retrofitting of Sierra Mar. As always, the service was fabulous! The menu was limited as could be expected for an interim facility, but the food was very good and we had a chance to explore a part of the Post Ranch property that we hadn’t before! Looking forward to experiencing the newly renovated Sierra Mar later on in the year!

Chef quality preparation, interesting menu, lots of fresh local produce. Very reasonable breakfast and lunch prices, dinner is fancier BUT you can make a less expensive meal of the small plates (I loved the generous steak skewers with chimichuri sauce!) or visit during happy hour!
