A word from The Vineyard House

The Vineyard House Restaurant is located in Santa Ynez, an authentic western town in the middle of Santa Barbara's "Wine Country". Surrounded by beautiful gardens and mature pepper trees, this 100+ year old Victorian home boasts two separate indoor dining areas as well as two outdoor decks… overlooking the oak studded hills of the Santa Ynez coastal range. Serving lunch and dinner daily (closed Tuesdays) with a fantastic brunch on Sundays, the menu offers something for everyone, from pizzas to rack of lamb! Our style is regional American cuisine with a California influence. Our signature dish is "Gabe's Salmon", a sauteed Scottish salmon filet served over crispy potatoes with a warm salad of spinach, tomato, fennel and red onion all drizzled with a lemon buerre blanc- pair with one of our reasonably priced local wines by either the glass or bottle! We have piano music on Friday and Saturday evenings as well as Sunday Brunch and in the summer feature "Jazz on the Deck" on Wednesdays!Continued

"I can't tell you how impressed I was with our waitress. The week night we were there the place was full and there was only one waitress and the manager who also did the busing. She was terrific and kept everything moving smoothly. I was also impressed with the kitchen who was able to keep up with the demand. This is another St. Inez Valley destination that is certainly worth a visit."

"Friendly, prompt service with beautifully presented delicious food -- and in appropriate serving sizes, this restaurant is clearly a favorite of locals as the owner and the waitress both chatted briefly with other patrons about local events. We felt like one of the family in an upscale restaurant, food wise, but with a relaxed homelike atmosphere. We will return the next time we are in the Santa Inez Valley."

"The people were very friendly and helpful. Our waitress did a great job. The food was excellent. We had the cooked artichoke appetizer which was great! It is located in an old house which added to the ambiance. We will definitely go back and recommend it to others."
