“Absolutely wonderful! A must visit if you are in the area !“

“We had a delicious pizza very good, oh, and the wine was superb!“

“In the vast sea of tasting rooms Lefty's is an adorable little palate cleanser and the best coffee shop to trade your wine glass in for a coffee and snack.
It's a local gem that I selfishly I hope doesn't blow up but deserves to.

The staff is so friendly and welcoming, it's become its own little community.

During the week it's the perfect place to meet with friends to catch up, or sit outside in the backyard and dive into a nice book. The weekends are more lively and it's fun to meet various tourists escaping the craziness of town.

I default to the cafe latte and granola-the mix is fantastic.

Also the puzzle corner is adorable and despite my ability to effectively contribute it seems to make good progress but please help when you stop by.

Best coffee shop in the valley. Iykyk.“

“Super awesome staff! Colbi was amazing, and was very understanding about my allergies, and acted with great care. Colbi let us review their ingredient lists, and was very accommodating. There was a lot of seating space, but there was nearly always someone waiting on a table, because of their high customer count, but the food is worth the wait! The portions are big, and it's evident that they make each sandwich with great love and care– also you can watch them make them lol. This shop is filled with lots of passion and energy, so just remember that quality takes time. If your order is slow to arrive, it just means that someone else is getting the love and attention that they deserve~“

“Great food great service!!“

“Indoor and outdoor dining. The food and the service are wonderful! Top notch local ingredients. Way to go Feast!“

“Service was excellent, dinner suggestions were great and we loved our whole experience. Highly recommend“

“Just ordered 2 hot mocha coffees. Didn't expect much...wow! Truly delicious! Usually, these coffee shops have bitter coffee. Not this one. Highly recommend.“

“Pleasant local place to stop for Mediterranean fare. I had a Lamb Shawarma wrap that was great. Outdoor/indoor.“

“The venue itself is pretty nice. However. When there's special events, I think there should be more than one person serving. It took awhile for us to order or get our refills. I'm sure it's a much better service when it's not a special occasion. But, their biggest event is the Christmas parade time. They should have still been prepared. Their little patio area is very nice.“

“Beautiful restaurant! Great ambiance. Awesome customer service. Good selections. Food was flavorful and creative! Prices are reasonable. We will definitely return.“

“Grappolo in Santa Ynez is a true gem. The food is amazing — bar none, the best ravioli we have ever had. The special pumpkin ravioli was out of this world — we can’t stop talking about it and will probably be dreaming about this dish for the next week. You have to try it! We also had the lemon caper sole, which was equally delicious and perfectly prepared. As self-proclaimed foodies, our expectations were high, but Grapolo far exceeded every one of them. Our server Eric made the evening even more memorable with his warm and attentive service. The quaint ambiance transported us straight to Tuscany — it felt like dining at a family-run hillside restaurant, authentic and second to none. We will absolutely be back — no matter what. Grapolo is a must-visit in Santa Ynez!“

“Excellent and friendly service. Delicious brunch too“

“This is must visit place in such a beautiful city, we come here just because everything was overbooked and we cannot find a place, but it definitely worth that. Food and wine are very delicious and atmosphere is very cozy. You will need to spend some money here, but this was and amazing experience, and when I will be back to Solvang, I will visit this place one more time“

“There was a mixup on our gingerbread house order. Melissa not only promptly refunded my money but included a bucket of Christmas cookies for our trouble. Mistakes happen and I am so impressed with the professional manner Melissa handled it. Solvang Bakery is a class act“

“8 of us for lunch. Best place in the area for Mexican food. I had the enchiladas mariscas - shrimp, scallops - fantastic. Everyone loved the food. The service was extraordinary, especially given the large group & the busy lunch hour. We never pass up the opportunity to have lunch here when passing through.“

“Fun place, nice variety of ice creams and friendly staff.“

“Rudy's in Buellton is delicious! Everything tastes delicious and they give big portions! They also have fair prices and they are not stingy with their yummy salsa. Their staff is really friendly and they remember your name. I love that about them. Thank you for also standing up on days like today! 1-30-26 We stand with you!“

“Best espresso for 50 mi radius“

“Food is delicious !! My favorite lunch place in Buellton!!“

“Warm, old-fashioned lodge atmosphere with a spacious dining area and plenty of outdoor seating overlooking the golf course.
Their weekly Blue Plate Dinner specials on Thursday and Friday nights are what keep me coming back, time and again; on these nights, you can find the rarest of unicorns -- the Holy Trinity of low cost, high quality, and full portions! Pictured is the Roasted King Salmon from last week. The fillet and potatoes were perfectly cooked, everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious.
A full bar and frequent live music performances complete the experience.
Highly recommend for getting great bang for your buck when in Solvang!“

“We tried China Panda for the first time last night to ring in the Chinese New Year a day early. Talk about a hidden gem! We had the pork and cheese fried wontons, BBQ pork fried rice, BBQ pork chow mein and the orange chicken. Everything was excellent! Along with the ambiance and service. We will definitely make it one of our “go to” spots when we are in town. Wish we had one at home! Thanks for a great meal!“

“It was a memorable birthday celebration ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Willows at Chumash delivered one of the finest dining experiences we've had in a long time. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was elegant, welcoming, and perfectly suited for a special evening. The food was exceptional—beautifully prepared, expertly presented, and absolutely delicious. Every course reflected a level of care and craftsmanship that truly elevated the experience. What made the evening especially memorable, however, was our server, Andrew. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality were outstanding. Andrew anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, provided excellent recommendations, and struck the perfect balance between attentiveness and allowing us to enjoy our meal uninterrupted. He made us feel valued as guests and played a significant role in making the evening so enjoyable. Outstanding food, exceptional service, and a memorable atmosphere—Willows at Chumash exceeded expectations in every way. We look forward to returning, and we hope to have the pleasure of being served by Andrew again. He is a tremendous asset to the restaurant and exemplifies what great hospitality should look like.“

“Best fudge in the west!!! delicious 😋“

“We LOVE our weekly date night at A-Ru! Tiger is a fabulous sushi chef. Great food, great service! Always worth the drive from Santa Maria.“

“We ended up here after our first choice breakfast place was outrageously busy and I am SO HAPPY we did. My husband got the pork chop breakfast, I got the Belgian waffles and OMG were they good. Thick and fluffy, just crispy enough. The pork chop was tender and very flavorful. This is definitely on our will revisit places for our next trip.“

“We tried the Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Linguine Pesce, and the Spanish Octopus. All of the dishes were incredibly flavorful, and the presentation was excellent. The restaurant also has a really nice atmosphere, with an impressive wine collection that adds to the overall experience. The service was excellent as well. Definitely a great place for a nice meal.“

“The food was awesome! Sandwiches were big!!“

“Great experience! Go in hungry!“

“Cafe Dolce is a wonderful place to enjoy. The owner Sammy is my favorite. His Cafe offers an amazing variety of fresh Baklava. The juice bar and protein shakes are over the top! If you want a real treat try the Mediterranean Panini. Everything here tastes crisp, clean, and fresh! You will love it!“

“Chef David Cecchini truly outdid himself with the recent Cecco Supper Club event. From start to finish, this dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Every detail, from the carefully curated menu to the perfectly paired wines by Amber Rose Wines, reflected an incredible level of thought and skill. The evening began with a canapé reception and a crisp, elegant Rosé, setting the tone for the culinary journey ahead. The first course, Coquilles Saint Jacques, was an absolute delight—baked scallops in a creamy white wine sauce, beautifully gratinéed and paired perfectly with a bright Sauvignon Blanc. The flavors were rich, yet balanced, showcasing the chef’s expertise in French cuisine. The Warm Salad Niçoise that followed was a masterpiece. The seared tuna was cooked to perfection, complementing the tender fingerling potatoes, crisp haricots verts, and briny olives. It was a symphony of textures and flavors, enhanced by the accompanying Pinot Noir. The main course, Beef Bourguignon, featured tender short ribs in a deeply flavorful red wine reduction. Paired with a Grenache/Syrah blend, it was hearty, comforting, and elevated—a true celebration of rustic French cooking. To close the evening, the Cherry Clafoutis was pure perfection. The balance of tart Amarena cherries and the delicate custard-like cake was divine, especially when paired with Spanish coffee. It was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. Chef Cecchini’s attention to detail and passion for his craft were evident in every dish. This was not just a meal; it was a culinary experience that transported us to the heart of Provence. Highly recommend attending one of these events—you won’t regret it!“

“food is good. service is fair. no eye contact with server/ cashier when asking for condiments or a bag because order was to go. always seems that there is never enough persons at front counter during lunch hour rush. Somedays when I order a salad I get the whole garden and I can barely close the box. other times a few croutons & 3 cherry tomatoes and a sprinkling of lettuce.“

“Great pickled herring and liverwurst open faced sandwiches“
