- RRonitSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAfter 15 years it is still the best pork chops I’ve ever had. I traveled 2 hours to get there 15 years ago. This time we stayed in Solvang from San Diego and had to go again. We made reservations since the place is always packed! It was a sheer delight to eat, perfect service and an amazing value.More infoJocko's SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Nipomo•4.6
- SSophiaOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur meal and service were impeccable! From the very moment we walked in with our two little kids, the maitre’d made us feel so welcome. He also made sure the kitchen accommodated my little one with a severe food allergy. The food came out quickly and every bite was exceptional. The service was so friendly from our waiter to our busser and everyone in between. I was very impressed and am excited to return again and again. Thank you!More infoSY KitchenPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9

- LLisaCalifornia Central Coast •52 reviews5.0Dined on 13 Oct 2024The Caesar Salad was fresh and the dressing was a tasty surprise. The Veal Milanese breading was crispy and paired nicely with the buttery, cheesy fettuccine. My friends both enjoyed their Spinach Ravioli and Pappardelle Vodka. Topped it off with us all sharing the Warm Lava Cake...delish!More infoChase RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Santa Barbara•3.5
