    Jocko's is a lot of fun and the steaks are great! Prices are up some (as everywhere) Unfortunately, they cut back on their amazing appetizer tray some time back which was IMO a highlight of the place (along with great drinks) ... I get that it wasn't fun to have to throw out uneaten appetizers but it would have been better to sell these for, say, $5 or $8. I would say the food is not quite where it was pre-Covid, hence the **** and not *****

    We make it a point to visit SY Kitchen every time we’re in Santa Ynez. While most of our experiences have been enjoyable, our most recent visit on November 19th—coincidentally our 42nd anniversary—was truly exceptional. I savored one of the best vodka martinis I’ve had in years at the bar. The service was outstanding, with our server demonstrating professionalism, attentiveness, and a friendly demeanor. Each course was timed perfectly, enhancing the overall dining experience. The food was exemplary, and the manager went above and beyond by checking on us three times to ensure everything met our expectations. It does leave us wondering, though—why is Nella Kitchen, under the same ownership, such a stark contrast in quality and service?

    Fantastic experience. Beautiful setting and atmosphere. The food is top notch! Service is great. Only thing I could nit pick is they are way heavy on the ice with the mixed drinks. Definitely make the trip and enjoy a fantastic dinner!
