Excellent food and impeccable service. Three and five course fixed price menu with several options. The bread was amazing with the avocado butter. The wait staff was superb. We stayed in the Mirabelle Inn where the restaurant was located. That made for a really nice evening. Don't miss this gem!

Great food! Fine dining experience. However, price on website differs from menu at restaurant. Three course is now $75/pp not $65.

Excellent Chef's menu. Delicious food expertly presented. Leann was a perfect food server. Not for the budget conscious.

The 5 course wine pairing was very good. I wish I had taken a picture of the Wines offered as they were all excellent and full pours. The food offerings were all very good, with the exception of the oysters. The cauliflower was our favorite and the sea bass was perfect. We were a little worried that the oysters were not quite right as they tasted mostly of sea water. We have had lots of oysters over the years and these were honestly just not good. But we didn’t get sick! LOL. We will for sure recommend this place for the dining experience and will return the next time we are in Solvang.

Based on the reviews I thought this place was going to be great however, it was a major let down. An expensive let down at that. The Halibut and Tenderloin were both flavorless. The oysters were awful. The Ricatta, Tuna Crudo, Scallop and Passionfruit Tart were all really good so not all the food was bad but, I definitely expected more. Very disappointed for a $90 a plate meal and ultimately wish we would have went somewhere else. Service and staff were wonderful, it was just the food that was so hit or miss.

Wonderful three course meal. We went for our anniversary. The staff was very welcoming and the kitchen was very accommodating of my pregnancy. It's my first pregnancy so I'm a little nervous about certain foods but they made sure everything was perfect. They even had non-alcoholic beer! The chef surprised us with a new off menu dessert, which was delicious. 10/10 would recommend.
