Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Buellton

Everything about the he experience was wonderful.

Lovely new restaurant in Solvang. Interesting menu with "Asian fusion" mixes of local ingredients with some Asian influence. Creative and a bit complex...not a steak and potatoes kinda place! But a fun exploration of flavors and textures, with great service and very nice ambiance.

Ellie's Tap and Vine exceeded all expectations! The short ribs were absolutely divine—so tender they practically melted in my mouth. The osso buco was a standout with its unique curry twist, adding just the right amount of flavorful kick. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing, enjoyable meal. And whatever you do, don’t skip the apple crumble—it’s the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!

The five of us had a great experience at this quirky, beautifully restored motel/restaurant. Good food (except they were out of at least two items we wanted) and service. Only one food server (luckily it wasn’t busy) but the other staff stepped in graciously to help out. Friendly and accommodating, would stop in again sometime on our way north. One of a kind place (in the best way).
