- RRobertoCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoFrom start to finish; AMAZING. Took my daughters and mom for Valentines. The hostess arranged for us to get the best table in the house. The food was excellent, not the normal, but an original interpretation of what food should taste like. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. Dessert was also very thought out. The house manager was also very involved in our experience. My family and I felt very much appreciated and most of all cared after. One of our best if not the best Valentines we have lived.More infoSY KitchenPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9

- NNatalieVIPCalifornia Central Coast •52 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoEllie’s Tap & Vine is our favorite restaurant in the SYV, and we’ve become regulars. The food is always amazing, and the chef is consistently considerate of my food allergies. The entrees Ellie’s serves cater to any palate, and the dishes are so creative. The staff are polite and friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. We love the ambience- the decor, candles and awesome playlists! This restaurant is one I’d highly recommend to both locals and visitors. You’ll fall in love with it, too!More infoEllie's Tap & VinePrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Santa Ynez Valley•4.7
