- GGlennvipLos Angeles •72 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoPassing nearby, we decided to try a restaurant we had not been before. A great surprise. We were warmly welcomed and seated a nice table. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The service was outstanding. And the food was expertly prepared and delicious. We had a half chicken dinner and a chicken pot pie. Both dinners were large portions and very tasty. We had warm apple tort for desert that was really good. We will certainly be back. A great find.More infoEllie's Tap & VinePrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9
- SSteveOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoEverything 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. Chris was an excellent server.More infoWillows at Chumash CasinoPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Santa Ynez Valley•4.7

- TFTheFoodCriticCalifornia Central Coast •27 reviews5.0Dined on 20 Aug 2022We shared a caesar salad and requested a few anchovies as the dressing doesn't have anchovies in it. They served several white anchovies which I hadn't tasted before. The salad is a terrific choice and the white anchovies are very mild and not as salty as the usual anchovies I've had. We shared the flatbread which is the best I've ever had. I ordered the chicken cacciatore which we took home as I ate all of the flatbread. My wife had the carnitas tacos which were excellent as well. Not many people have caught on to the dinner offered Wednesday through Friday. It is really wonderful.More infoPony Cocktails + KitchenPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Santa Ynez•5
