- SSophiaOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur meal and service were impeccable! From the very moment we walked in with our two little kids, the maitre’d made us feel so welcome. He also made sure the kitchen accommodated my little one with a severe food allergy. The food came out quickly and every bite was exceptional. The service was so friendly from our waiter to our busser and everyone in between. I was very impressed and am excited to return again and again. Thank you!More infoSY KitchenPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9
- MMarkLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThe 5 course wine pairing was very good. I wish I had taken a picture of the Wines offered as they were all excellent and full pours. The food offerings were all very good, with the exception of the oysters. The cauliflower was our favorite and the sea bass was perfect. We were a little worried that the oysters were not quite right as they tasted mostly of sea water. We have had lots of oysters over the years and these were honestly just not good. But we didn’t get sick! LOL. We will for sure recommend this place for the dining experience and will return the next time we are in Solvang.More infoFirst & Oak at the Mirabelle InnPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Solvang•4.7
- SSteveOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoEverything was delicious at willows. I had the double pork chop, which was big and cooked perfectly. It came with broccolini and mashed potatoes. My wife had a grilled artichoke (best she’s ever had) and crab cakes. Chris was an excellent server.More infoWillows at Chumash CasinoPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Santa Ynez Valley•4.7
- EEricaCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoPer usual the food and service was incredible! Our reservation was at 5:30 but the hostess Selena was kind enough to get us sat a bit earlier. Our steaks and burgers (we ate on a Wed night when they have burger night) were cooked to the perfect temperature.More infoHitching Post IIPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Buellton•4.7
