Best Seasonal Restaurants in Solvang

SY Kitchen is one of the best dining experiences west of the Mississippi! Awesome!

Made reservation ahead for my Son’s Birthday. Greeted and seated quickly. Menus and drinks offered. Ordered appetizers clams, which were incredible. Delicious broth and rustic bread to dip. The Pork belly salad was delicious also. Entrees Rib Eye, Salmon and Scallops and steak medallions were all cooked perfectly and all great. The veggies and mashed potatoes were tasty. Dessert of Crème Brûlée and Birthday chocolate cake with ice cream and chocolate edible Happy Birthday. Tried a couple of different beverages from the special alcohol menu. All excellent. Service was excellent. Marcos as our waiter and all other staff we interacted with were attentive and friendly.

We had a party of 6 and shared several starters in addition to our main courses, a couple deserts and some cocktails. The service was great. Every dish was beautifully presented, unique and absolutely delicious! This was my second time eating here (live locally), but it was a first for everyone else and they all raved about their meal. Highly recommend the Gathering Table!

As always, another great experience! Food was amazing as per usual. Joy is the best. Great moody soundtrack and cozy energy. We brought some friends from out of town, and they thoroughly enjoyed everything. Wine pairings were requested and suggestions were spot on. Prix fixe menu is a fantastic value. Highly recommend, we will be back soon.

The flavors were vibrant and the cuisine engaged all the senses leveraging color and texture. I had gone there with my daughter during restaurant week and enjoyed it so much I really wanted to find a reason to go back again. When a friend I had not seen in many years came to town from Laguna Beach that seemed like the perfect opportunity. She is a foodie and enjoyed it just as much as I did.
