“I was at Lark & Sparrow the night of one of the reviewers who gave them a poor rating. Let me tell you- that group of customers were absolutely nightmare patrons! They were LUCKY the police were not called on them! I'm so beyond proud of the staff and owners for all that they bring to our community and making a place that we can go to and feel safe and free to enjoy ourselves! They are the BEST!!!“
“Steakhouse Gold!! Ambiance is an Impressive Nod to the history of the Restaurant and Santa Maria Bbq heritage! Off the beaten path from 101 south of Santa Maria, Far West Tavern is a Destination experience both for travelers and locals alike. The vibe is homey and the staff is downright friendly and gracious. My husband and I have been enjoying Santa Maria style Bbq at home for decades but this was our first time making the pilgrimage to Far West Tavern. It did not disappoint!!! We started our evening with a lovely pour of a Central Coast GSM. The meals are so very generous that we opted to skip the appetizer course. Hubby ordered the 7 oz Filet Mignon meal and I ordered the Beef skewers that the server recommended along with a side salad. A delicious bread basket, vegetable tray and what I would consider the house made ranch beans were brought to the table- very much familiar Santa Maria Bbq sides including the house salsa. My husband was brought shrimp cocktail to begin his meal and next was the clam chowder that he is still raving about, the next day! My side salad was a generous helping of fresh mixed greens, shredded carrots, croutons and garnished with a watermelon radish shaving on top with house made dressings on the side. When my husband's main course was brought out, it was such a big portion and served aside a twice baked potato. The cut of the meat wasn't quite what a Filet Mignon is typically but it was so flavorful. The timing was a bit off and my plate didn't arrive, so my husband shared the perfectly cooked steak and potato which were delicious. The table next to us noticed our meal and commented to the waiter that their dinner was delivered to our table. They were right and we were enjoying their 14oz cowboy cut steak. About this time my beef skewers arrived which were so tender- melt in your mouth - with a chimichurri sauce to complement the flavor! How was the staff going to handle this mix up in the kitchen? Our waitress was wonderful and she apologized to both our tables and made everyone happy!! They were brought their original order, and their wine along with other items were comped. For our table they comped my beef skewers because they didn't arrive until my husband was almost finished and they sent us home with my husband's original filet steak in a to-go box. Mistakes are made but it's how they're handled that makes the lasting impression. For food, service and ambiance, this is a winner!!“
“Food: 4.5. Came by for their happy hour yesterday (Friday). I was at the door when they opened at 5:30 pm. Strangely, a bunch of people entered right after me. Where did they come from? Limited seating inside (a few booths and counter seating) and this place takes reservations. They have outside seating but weather was cold with intermittent rain. Their happy Hour has changed for Fridays. Now runs 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Ordered the steak sliders and some $5 beer drafts. Food was delivered timely and at the right temperature. Steak sliders were on point and the accompanying chips were very good. Tried the meatball sliders and they were good but I prefer their steak sliders. Service was very good. I like this place. I wish they had a location in SM.“

“Had a wonderful evening at The Wine Stone Inn. Had a wonderful bottle of Justin Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoyed tri tip and chicken from Lobo Butcher who was serving outside of the Wine Stone Inn. The ambiance is charming inside of the Inn. The lady pouring the wine was so pleasant. I look forward to returning again.“
