“For those of you who are needing a place to stay locally and visiting Solvang area, this is definitely a place to check out! Found this gem and was staying there a week and have to stay I love how it is located very conveniently off the 101 FWY, have lots of amenities on the property, and the staff go way above and beyond! Love also the fact that they have Sideways Lounge if you want to chill and have a brew as well and they have a nice food truck with homemade sausages. The location is also very strategic as it is just only 5 mins from Solvang and very close to other places like Ojai, Santa Maria, Santa Ynez, etc. I will definitely make this my go-to place!“
“I recently came to S Y kitchen with a bigger party and was impressed with everything! We had a pre-fixed menu (I think due to the size of our party) and every single thing was incredible. We even were able to get special accommodations for a few people in our party who kept Kosher and needed kosher meat. The food was perfect! Definitely recommend the Caesar salad, meatballs, their house bread, and the pizza. You have to end your meal with the tiramisu- it's truly one of the best I've ever had! The service was amazing and ambience was even better. Definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area!“
“Stopped in for a quick rest while just passing through and ended up making a night of it. Received such welcoming and attentive service from Jacob I completely forgot I was on my way somewhere else. I don't even drink and I've never felt so welcomed in a bar. Jacob took full creative liberty to make easily the best mocktail I've ever had, and made me feel like a guest in someone's home. Great service, amazing ambiance, way too easy to spend a whole night in here. This will be a necessary stop any time I'm anywhere near solvang. Cant wait to be back!“
“I just had the most beautiful and perfect wedding at this venue! My husband and I were looking for something small and intimate and our family was hoping for something big and spacious so The Maker’s Son is where we met in the middle. The outside is just so beautiful and green and the indoor area is rustic and modern with its beautiful chandelier and farmhouse tables. I had the most amazing florist and family that helped pull a lot of it together but I know for a fact that Selena and her staff did everything else in between to make our special day perfect! I met with Selena on numerous occasions to get all of the small details sorted out and she did everything and more and exceeded all of my expectations. From helping get the wedding party organized to walk out, to communicating with the DJ and even making sure the venue next door didn’t bully us in to ending our event early! Selena and her staff is definitely who you want on your side, this woman does it all. I even at one point saw her behind the bar helping make drinks. Thank you so much to everyone at The Maker’s Son and especially to Selena! I know our big day only went smoothly because you took the lead!“
“The ambiance is fantastic, food was excellent from start to finish, and the service was spectacular. Our waiter and the entire team made the experience wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant and most definitely on a special occasion.“
“Great food, great wines, impeccable service. When I say "Impeccable" i mean it was top notch attentiveness from the reservation through the bill. Friendly, helpful, welcoming, and the food was excellent. California produce and products of incredible quality prepared competently in a delightful setting. An excellent spot for dinner.“
“Had a chance to swing by Silk Road's Kitchen when my family and I were visiting Solvang. We originally were going to go to Whiskey N Rye because the restaurant looked 75% empty yet they told us it was fully booked for some reason... Regardless we're happy that was the result because Silk Road's Kitchen was delicious. We were seated in their outdoor area and the entrees were made to perfection. Definitely one of the top gyro wraps that I've had! If you're in the area definitely stop by and check it out.“
“My wife and I ate dinner at Pico. Our cocktails were both excellent. Using a clear ice cube would bring the quality up a notch however. All of the food we had was also very good and worth the price. In particular, the cauliflower appetizer was outstanding. The service on this night was lacking. I wonder if our waiter was new. He was clearly not knowledgeable/confident in his description of the food when reviewing the menu and specials. Courses did not come out correctly spaced. When we asked for the check, the waiter had to come back to ask us which glasses of wine we had previously ordered. Overall, I would return.“
“This hidden gem is such a gorgeous spot in Buellton! Don't miss it when you visit the Santa Ynez Valley! The cocktails are the best I have had in the Valley and the food is superb. Everything is made with such care and is just delicious. The filet mignon is probably the best I have ever had! The restaurant itself is so picturesque and comfortable and the service is impeccable.Parking: Easy to park right by the restaurant!Kid-friendliness: We normally come for date nights but brought our kids this last visit and they were very accomodating!“
