Some of the dishes served were very good. However all of our entrees were over cooked and very salty. The wine pairing was interesting but not great.

For the price it wasn’t as good as expected. The cauliflower was pretty incredible. Outside of that we were not overly impressed with the 5 course menu. Everyone has an off night though! Perhaps better results another night. It was also a quite slow for a Saturday night at 6pm so perhaps it’s getting common? Not sure!

Did not feel like the Valentine’s Day menu was great value, which was $40 more than the regular 5 course. The first course was oyster, and one of our oysters was frozen. The wine pairing was also not great, with 2 out of 5 wines from the pairing featuring coquelicot wines.

Our service was great but food was subpar. It was restaurant week and so we did the menu of that. I ordered the roasted chicken and it was dry with literally no flavor. My husband got the 5 course with his entree being the beef tenderloin. It was 2 small slices of beef. The smallest entree I’ve ever seen. This restaurant was recommended by many and we were so looking forward to our meal but were very disappointed.

First and oak Solvang Ca: quaint restraint located in a beautiful restored inn on a quiet street. I chose the 3 course meal for restaurant week which starts with a TRUFFLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER Cauliflower Mousse, Quinoa, Golden Raisins, Truffle & Chive Vinaigrette The multiple layers of sweet savory and nutty was a wonderful surprise to my tastebuds and overwhelmed my pallet with bountiful flavors BEEF TENDERLOIN English Pea & Mint Puree, Maitake Mushroom, Grilled Baby Gem The beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection with the Mai take mushrooms adding a delightful addition to the complexity of the taste the English pea and mint purée was delightfully paired with a sweet Demi glaze that made my tastebuds tingle with the excitement of every bite. Course 3 chocolate tart: The tarts crust was so delicate and buttery paired with a wonderful chocolate ganache and a Chantelle cream all I can say is bravo this is a well deserved 2023 Michelin restaurant and a solid 9.5 on the Crail scale

Service and food were amazing! We chose the 5 course tasting menu and were surprised by the generous portions. I love that they use locally sourced ingredients. One of the best meals I’ve ever had! Cannot wait to come back and try brunch on the patio.
