Very good food and excellent service. Would come back just to have cocktails and duck fat fries.
Went for a night cap in the bar area. Server was the sweetest and we had a nice ending to our evening there. Lots of seating and the ambiance is beautiful and romantic. Nice for couples, singles and groups.

The sashimi was good. The rest of the food we had was ok. Short rib was a bit dry but tasted ok with the sauce. Chicken was not our favorite.

Terrific restaurant that we enjoyed a couples birthday celebration. Farm to table quality food, with a creative flair. Similar to restaurants you'd find in Copenhagen. Ample wine and beverage selection. Surprisingly large portion for entrée. Delicious and fun deserts. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. The price is reasonable for such a nice setting and great food.

Super friendly staff, this place had the vibes. I ordered the short rib with pinot noir reduction and holy moly, this may have been one of the most delicious short ribs I’ve ever had. The waitress suggested a perfect Cab wine pairing. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Had the salmon on my 1st visit and it was very good. The short rib is also very good and tender. Service was great and I would def b back. Blood orange drink was good but not strong.

This is a fantastic place for food & drinks. I absolutely can’t complain..! Top notch restaurant in SOLVANG. Drinks are fabulous and our waiter Harrison was very attentive & kind. We’re only here for 3 days but I definitely come back before we’re leaving.

My boyfriend and I celebrated his birthday here, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We started with the calamari and two mixed drinks. The calamari was perfectly cooked and served with jalapeños, onions, and lemon slices that added a bright, flavorful kick to the dish.
For drinks, we tried the Mad Captain—smooth and flavorful—and the Blood Orange Sour, which was even better, with a bold, citrusy finish we loved.
For our main course, we ordered the Braised Short Ribs and the Filet. The short ribs were incredibly tender and full of flavor. While the filet was cooked slightly more than we requested, it was still tender and very enjoyable.
To finish off the evening, we shared the Butterscotch Crème Brûlée. Our server made the moment special by adding a birthday candle and singing Happy Birthday—such a thoughtful touch. The dessert was just as impressive as the rest of the meal: rich, creamy, and perfectly caramelized.
The staff were warm, attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The ambiance was romantic and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a birthday celebration.
