- SSteveOrange County •1 review5.0Dined todayEverything was delicious at willows. I had the double pork chop, which was big and cooked perfectly. It came with broccolini and mashed potatoes. My wife had a grilled artichoke (best she’s ever had) and crab cakes.

- SsallyvipJackson Hole / Wyoming •2 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoThe restaurant was full on a Tuesday evening. Service was good, although they looked a little overworked. The food is quite heavy and certainly I think I would've shared portions had I known we had  the calamari, and there was a massive amount of garlic in it, which I enjoyed, and the flavor was great as well as the tenderness of the squid. Our main courses were very hearty and well cooked. Desert apple crisp was way too sweet with masses of caramel . Overall good but rich and heavy so go hungry and share .More infoEllie's Tap & VinePrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9
