- AAnneAustin •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoBeautiful food. Nice atmosphere. Lovely service. I'll be back! The beat salad is amazing, simple and creative flavor. The pasta, executed perfectly. We had panne cotta for dessert which was yum! I also enjoyed the Cilantro Margarita before my meal and it was crisp, refreshingly herbal, not too sweet- I will be back to drink this in the summer weather! The staff is all around excellent as well.More infoSY KitchenPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9

- OTOpenTable DinerOrlando / Central Florida East •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoFirst and oak Solvang Ca: quaint restraint located in a beautiful restored inn on a quiet street. I chose the 3 course meal for restaurant week which starts with a TRUFFLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER Cauliflower Mousse, Quinoa, Golden Raisins, Truffle & Chive Vinaigrette The multiple layers of sweet savory and nutty was a wonderful surprise to my tastebuds and overwhelmed my pallet with bountiful flavors BEEF TENDERLOIN English Pea & Mint Puree, Maitake Mushroom, Grilled Baby Gem The beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection with the Mai take mushrooms adding a delightful addition to the complexity of the taste the English pea and mint purée was delightfully paired with a sweet Demi glaze that made my tastebuds tingle with the excitement of every bite. Course 3 chocolate tart: The tarts crust was so delicate and buttery paired with a wonderful chocolate ganache and a Chantelle cream all I can say is bravo this is a well deserved 2023 Michelin restaurant and a solid 9.5 on the Crail scaleMore infoFirst & Oak at the Mirabelle InnPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Solvang•4.7
