Best American Restaurants in Santa Ynez

Great food and top service. Only thing was it took a while to get our main courses, but again, the food was top and as good as a restraunt in Beverly hills.

We brought our two year old and we all had the best time. The food was great and the service was wonderful.

Was absolutely delicious! A perfect place to have a steak dinner in the wine country!

I came here as a fan on the movie Sideways. My meal was excellent and the service was even better. I had filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. Lentil soup was superb! My server was Autumn and she was personable, professional, polite, and provided excellent service. The wine was excellent. I would highly recommend the Hitching Post II.

Ellie’s Tap & Vine is our favorite restaurant in the SYV, and we’ve become regulars. The food is always amazing, and the chef is consistently considerate of my food allergies. The entrees Ellie’s serves cater to any palate, and the dishes are so creative. The staff are polite and friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. We love the ambience- the decor, candles and awesome playlists! This restaurant is one I’d highly recommend to both locals and visitors. You’ll fall in love with it, too!
