Restaurants near Anderson Recreation Center

We sat for 2.5 hrs, dinner, dessert and coffee. The mgr kept staring at us which was disrespectful as we overstayed our welcome. The hostess did ask us to leave as someone was waiting for the table. I’ve never been asked to ever leave a restaurant in my life, this was irritating 👎

We had a great night, from delicious specialty cocktails and in house sourdough…to uni risotto and the best smoked black cod I’ve ever had, this was a great meal! Our server Scott was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable of the menu and was just a pleasure the entire evening…definitely worth it all! We loved it

Per 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.

We make it a point to visit SY Kitchen every time we’re in Santa Ynez. While most of our experiences have been enjoyable, our most recent visit on November 19th—coincidentally our 42nd anniversary—was truly exceptional. I savored one of the best vodka martinis I’ve had in years at the bar. The service was outstanding, with our server demonstrating professionalism, attentiveness, and a friendly demeanor. Each course was timed perfectly, enhancing the overall dining experience. The food was exemplary, and the manager went above and beyond by checking on us three times to ensure everything met our expectations. It does leave us wondering, though—why is Nella Kitchen, under the same ownership, such a stark contrast in quality and service?

Fantastic experience. Beautiful setting and atmosphere. The food is top notch! Service is great. Only thing I could nit pick is they are way heavy on the ice with the mixed drinks. Definitely make the trip and enjoy a fantastic dinner!
