Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Solvang

Came here to celebrate our anniversary and I have to say the location is great, the view was amazing, the ambiance is nice, the food was pretty good, however, we were a bit disappointed with the service. It took forever for the wine to come, we had to ask for a few things several times, and one of the items we ordered never came. The waiter was apologetic at the end but it did somewhat spoil our overall experience. I hope the restaurant sees this review and works on improving their customer service because it’s a really nice place.

I’m not usually one to write reviews, but Bouchon definitely earned its stars last night! My fiancé and I came for Valentine’s Day dinner and were expecting the typical “lower quality service and rushed atmosphere” but were extremely impressed with all bouchon had to offer! From start to finish, the service was impeccable. I cannot stress enough- if it weren’t for the adorable heart-shaped balloons and rose-petal covered tables, we wouldn’t have even been able to tell it was Valentine’s Day (in the best way possible). On top of the incredible, friendly, and warm service, the food was also top-notch. Starting with the fresh sourdough bread, rounding out with the delectable French-onion soup, to the perfectly cooked surf and turf, this truly was one of the better meals we’ve had. My fiance even said the Warm Lemon-Berry cake was probably in his top 5 desserts ever! So thank you, bouchon, for your incredible staff, delicious food, and giving my fiance and I a new favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara!

Very small restaurant, almost felt like we were in an extension of the lobby. Food was very good from a limited menu. Servers were excellent. Noise level high. This was our first time there. Because of the food & service, we’d come back.

The team at Barbareño was so lovely! Thank you for making my husband feel special on his birthday. We enjoyed their signature Santa Maria BBQ platter the most of anything we ordered and their homemade sourdough is out of this world delicious.

Ellie’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!
