We celebrated a birthday and it was a a wonderful experience. Who was delicious, service was excellent, wasn't too loud. We would definitely go back and enjoy more meals at the kitchen.

Opentable Diner

Everything was great, the food was excellent and the service was fast as well. The ambiance was amazing as well. There are a lot of restaurants at similar cost but you won't get the same experience.

Ambiance is an A+ Service A+ Salad and artichoke A+ Mushroom pasta and squash pasta were both forgettable. Lacked flavor and very expensive. The waitress was wonderful, however, when almost a full pasta dish was leftover she didn't ask why and we didn't openly tell her. Opportunity missed I know but overall we had a lovely experience. It could have been an off night for the kitchen.

We had the most wonderful experience last Friday dining here! Our server was S'rae, and she was absolutely phenomenal! I was with my family and we were a larger party size. I had the fabulous mushroom pasta and a lovely glass of rose. We also had some delicious apps (artichoke and the Burrata). We were so beyond pleased with our server, the food, the ambiance...basically EVERYTHING was amazing!

This is one of the BEST restaurant I have ever been to ! We live in LA, and spent the weekend visiting Solvang, Santa Barbara and the whole area. We stayed in Santa Ynez, and booked that restaurant for Friday Dinner. The place is beautiful! Such a big , unique and authentic restaurant. The food was DELICIOUS! You know what? delicious is an under statement. We love dinning out, we go to restaurants all over LA. This one, is definitely one of the best we have ever tried, if not the best! The pizza, the bread (oh my goodness, I wish I had this bread now :-) ....), the pasta, the salmon - was the best salmon I have ever ate, the deserts, and I can continue on and on. We were a big group; 8 people in one table, and 4 people in another table next to us. Everything we order was top notch! The service was perfect too. Our server were very nice, kind, attentive and welcoming young girl. I can not wait to visiting this area again, especially because of that restaurant. Do not hesitate , you will thank me later.

Amazing food! Must visit. Cocktails are delicious. I had the back garden but substituted with Mezcal.

We had a wonderful experience over the weekend. We sat at the bar for a bit because we arrived earlier than our reservation and everyone was awesome, the hostess, the bartenders, and our server Sarae did a fantastic job! We ordered the Caesar salad, warm octopus salad, mushroom pappardelle and salmon. All were 5 stars!

DeAnn

A wonderful experience from cocktails through to dessert. Great drinks, delicious food & our server was so.friendly & adorable.

What a gem! We stopped by for a one-course lunch and both ordered pasta. A classic spaghetti with clams, and a seasonal squash-stuffed tortelloni. We also enjoyed a starter of plump olives, and focaccia served with chili, fine butter and tasty olive oil. Having done a lot of wine tasting the day before, we shared one glass of local Chardonnay from their detailed, well-thought-out list. Everything was perfect. Service was warm. The dishes were so flavorful. We just got a taste of this place and so look forward to returning!

We had an exceptional dinner with great service. The restaurant kindly accommodated a table change due to a draft. We will go again soon.

SY Kitchen was delicious. The seasonal menu was spot on. The flavors were robust and delightful. And the ambiance was superb.

Love this spot! This was my fourth time here and of course everything was great! The octopus salad is so delicious, the mushroom pasta the noodles are 10/10!

Their panna cotta is the best desert! I’ve had the pistachio crème brûlée before and that was so good too honestly everything I’ve tried has been good! I also love how cozy the vibes are. I also never write reviews but I had to shout this place out because it’s my favorite every-time I come to the area!
