    We arrived on Thanksgiving evening for a 6 pm reservation for two (made over a month prior). The restaurant had at least 10 two-top tables available and we were seated next to the very noisy door to the kitchen against the wall. We asked the hostess two different times to reseat us and she said that those tables were "assigned" and there was not one other possible place they could seat us. We elected not to eat there. We got up and left explaining that we had the reservations for over a month and did not understand how we didn't "qualify" for one of the other tables. Thanks for ruining out Thanksgiving.

    Truly delicious meal- the brussel sprouts, ceviche, and grilled fish dishes were real standouts. We actually preferred this meal to the Michelin recommended First & Oak dinner the following night.

    Our meal here was one of the highlights of our whole vacation week. We had the carbonara and the short rib, both of which were outstanding indulgences. We can't wait to go back!

    A really nice spot in Solvang. Great indoor and outdoor seating. The homemade pita appetizer is awesome with romesco dipping sauce. Table shared a tempura appetizer as well. Unique and tasty. Burger was juicy and flavorful cooked perfectly. Duck fat fries a bit of a let down. Had them many places and these didn’t stack up. No real flavor. The tomato jam was good. All in all I’d come here again

    The service just sucked. Super nice and we’re staying in the hotel, but zero attention to detail. I was stacking plate because we had zero room on our table, they didn’t take our order until we asked (30-min after we finished our starters), no water refills (just leave the bottle), and I think our server asked only once, “how are things?” in a 2-hr experience. I noticed there was a rehearsal dinner outside and that obviously distracted the staff, but that shouldn’t take away from the experience of those in your dining room who made reservations weeks ago. Food was okay but presentation was... ehh.
