We had a wonderful relaxing 2 for 1 winetasting experience. The wines were good, the cheese plate was EXCELLENT, the spinach and cheese croissant was EXCELLENT, and Anna was very nice with good service. We came to Arrowsmith at the recommendation of the front desk of our hotel. It was only a five minute walk so we headed over around 4 PM on a Saturday of a three-day weekend. The decor is very nice, sort of roaring 20s French art. Nice tables, nice seating areas with leather chairs, nice bar. We had a 2 for 1 wine tasting special, a croissant and the cheeseboard. Our bill was around $66 and change and would've been in the $90s without the special. It was a good bargain and we still would've been happy at full price. We didn't wind up buying any of the wines to go, but we would definitely come here again and maybe stay later for the live music. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 :-)

I went here for wine tasting and it was such a nice experience. The inside was very intimate. There was bar seating as well as small tables with real roses. On Saturday evenings, they have live music. The wine tasting was comprised of 5 varietals from their winery. The owner was very helpful and thoroughly explained each pour. Their blends were well made and each wine we had was delicious. It was five 1 oz pours but it looked more than 1 oz. There was a rose Pinot Nior called Ballerina and it was so lovely! I also don't like Chardonnay normally but theirs was really good. It had some nice lemon notes. Also enjoyed the chocolate truffles. My favorite is the lemon one. I highly recommend going here for a drink in town. Very lovely wines.

Spent Christmas Eve and part of Christmas Day in Solvang and couldn't be happier that this place was open. One of the few places open Christmas Day so, as you can imagine, it became super busy. Which, of course, led to longer waits for things as this couple was the sole service provider for the whole place. We got there early enough that we were able to spend some time listening to their story and enjoyed every minute. Delicious wine and great vegan/vegetarian options for bar snacks and food. The patio is small, but can fit a good amount of customers. Inside gave me cigar lounge feels. Loved it!

Cool wine bar next to the Solvang Brewing Company on the main thoroughfare / road through Solvang. We went here after dinner. Thankfully, they were still open since most everything in Solvang closes at 8pm if not earlier. It's a great place to chill and relax over a glass or bottle of wine. ...and they have live music on the weekends. Bonus! They have outdoor seating so you can watch the world go by and they have indoor seating. There's a bar you can sit at or tables. We opted for the comfy chairs and table near the front window/door. Our hotel sent us to this bar because we got a 2 for 1 wine tasting. It was a lovely tasting of 4 different wines where the Petit Sirah was the star. Wow! Great wine that would go great with some chocolate cake. Just thinking of it now as I remember it.... now I've got a craving for that wine and chocolate cake.

This place is incredible with two amazing owners! We found this place after struggling to find anywhere decent in the later evening. Food, wine, chocolates, all incredible! That central coast, California, relaxation, and very dog friendly. This is our new go to spot anytime in town.

Staff is amazing! Wonderful service from Javier and Michelle! They made our anniversary trip worth while and will come back solely because of them. Definitely our favorite place in Solvang.

We loved hanging out with Javier today! He taught us so much about how to be a wine connoisseur. Good wine, great company (sorry we are not big drinkers)! We’ll definitely come back on our next trip up.

Wine and service.. top notchHaven't even tried their beer selection yet.. another excuse to come back
Stumbled in on a Monday evening looking for some coffee drinks. Slow business day but the waiter was kind, talkative and really a great guy. The cappuccinos were great but I think I enjoyed the small talk with the server even more! I wanted to tip but he refused saying we keep a policy not to accept tips for take out. I said well it's a coffee so I thought to tip but he said to promise him one thing- when I wake up tomorrow make a stranger smile. I told him "you just made this one smile right now!"These little encounters are quite memorable for tourists. It's the little things and I walked away with such a pleasant feeling. I didn't order food but the place looked top shelf quality- certainly the service is 5 stars. It looked like a nice place to sit and have a drink too. Will come back to enjoy again. Thanks for making our evening!

There is a plethora of wines to enjoy by the glass, bottle or in a tasting. They have food options as well. We tried the hummus plate and were very pleased. One of the few places in Solvang open late and also host live music occasionally. Stop in the next time your in town.

Lovely spot with a European fell. Only did their wines and they were delicious. The list of European wine looked good as well. Definitely will be a regular stop for this local.

What a lovely experience meeting Anna at her very wonderful wine bar. We sat outside with our furry child Rufus and had the champagne tasting and the delicious cheese platter with a variety of yummy things, hummus and bread, Brie. Goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes to name a few! Anna is such a lovely lady! Thank you! We will be back again! Lynne and Liann (twins from Simi Valley)

Open on Christmas day! British tradition still holds true. Coffee and in house made croissants of many varieties. Suggest the cheese and chocolate croissant if you want a sweet and savory flavor to go with your latte.
