Best Californian Restaurants in Santa Ynez

Absolutely love the food, we had the tri tip platter which was delicious the beet salad and the cauliflower salad. All excellent. Great wine and wonderful server Alvaro! Lovely evening, would highly recommend!

Fabulous experience, we live locally and try and get here at least once a week. Food is always spectacular. Highly recommend the specials.

Excellent food and service. Ask for Marco. He is the best.

We come here every time we're in Solvang -- except last January when they canceled our reservation because SpaceX bought the place out, much to our irritation. It is consistently excellent, which is why we come back. This most recent visit was not as good as our previous visits had been, but it's a high bar to clear and the dinner was still good, so we'll be back regardless. They have switched the menu so that a la carte dining is no longer available. You choose between a 3 course or 5 course prix fixe menu both of which have some great options. There is also an available wine paring, and the pairings are appropriate and tasty, but this last time weighted towards whites. The roasted cauliflower is a standout, and has been among the offerings pretty much every time we've been. So you should try that. There are only a few local options for "real fine dining" in the Solvang area, and this one is still tops.

Delicious food and excellent service. Beautiful dining outside.
