14 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Santa Ynez

“Wow! Great dinner. Best place we ate at while visiting Solvang/ santa Ynez. Atmosphere was a rustic romantic ambience. Food was all amazing. Chris, our waitress was phenomenal. Very attentive and charismatic. We will definitely come back. 5 stars for sure. Oh... and the chicken liver with dijon was sooooo good!“

“We had a great experience at SY Kitchen. We started with an arugula salad that was so unique and the pairing of flavors was just perfect!! Our oxtail pasta was superb, our server was gracious, friendly and competent. Everyone we interacted with made us feel welcome and valued. Oops, almost forgot - don't skip the tiramisu!!“

“This is a truly special place. We have been members for about two years and we enjoy coming up here a couple of times per year. The wine is fabulous and the property is beautiful. When you come for a tasting it feels as if it's an extended part of the family. It's such a treat to taste here.“

“Cheers to the weekend! If you're looking for somewhere to wine down your work week, consider a tasting at Kalyra Winery in Santa Ynez, CA. They offer two tastings (Kalyra Sampler Tasting and the Reserve Dessert/Port Tasting) both for $25 each. After your tasting inside, enjoy a glass on their deck on the lawn. The vibe at Kalyra is laid back, which I enjoyed after a long day of siteseeing.“

“What a wonderful property to sit and enjoy wine among friends. when we arrived the tastings were already poured out for us. we had a lovely time with the host Summer, and we sat on the patio for a while soaking in the beautiful sun and sea breeze. I cannot wait to go back !“

“We never would have known this was here if it wasn't for Yelp. The food was very good as well as the beer and wine selection. The seating isn't great unless your group is very small. There were only 3 people working and the place was packed yet the service was excellent. We will go back.“

“I have never had a bad experience here. It is perfection. I have been at least 5 times and I live in San Diego. Beautiful, wonderful wine, nice and engaging staff who care deeply about their guests. Stop by whenever you get a chance but always be nice back, tip well, and they may reveal some special secrets about wine country and Santa Barbara in general. Thank you, as always Vincent Vineyards“

“The best Mexican food in the area with great ambiance! I love coming here when we're visiting because the food and service are consistently on point. This evening we had an a wonderful waiter with a beard. I didn't catch his name but we received great service from him at our small table for two by the fireplace. The restaurant does close early (8pm on Fridays) for some of us LA folks who are used to eating dinner much later on; however, I do love an early dinner so the closing time didn't bother us. We had the guacamole and the key lime pie for dessert - both were good. I also appreciated that they took down our phone number so we could step outside the restaurant while we waited. Street parking is very easy on the main road. They are a walk-in only restaurant, so do be prepared for a wait (especially if it's rainy weather).“

“Our experience was amazing. Daniel was our server and made great recommendations. We had the BLT a charcuterie board, a beautiful salad, and a lovely pasta dish. Loved all of the wine pairings. The setting is spectacular and Daniel made our lunch extra special.“

“I love this winery! Such a fun spot off the 154 and located near some other wineries. They have lots of outdoor seating options, so makes for the perfect setting on a nice day. I really enjoyed all of the wines we got to try on their flight. Good selection of whites and reds. They allow you to bring outside food, which is also nice if you're going during the lunch hour. Their staff were really helpful and attentive to us the day we went.“

“We had the pulled pork sliders and artichoke spinach dip. Both of those were really good! ? It was kinda dark in there (bar area) but it's a cool place. The bartender/server was nice, and he kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything. We went on a Monday night, so nothing was going on, but we'll be back for sure. Thank you!“

“Great service, pizza was ready promptly and diner room was vibey. Got a gluten free pepperoni and it was perfect, exactly what I was craving on this cool November evening. Many thanks to the wonderful staff! We'll see you again soon! Ya Boy, J-Love“

“Very good burritos. The steak is amazing. The steak salad is also amazing. They have great service. It's a liquor store combo but don't be fooled by the ambiance, they have a small seating area outside that makes you feel like you're living on the ranch.“

“My husband and I eat at Willows around once a month. This was the most exceptional experience we have had! We sat outside on the patio and it was perfect. Nice ambience, beautiful views and it was so much easier to hear each other over dinner. Excellent service from Marco - best ever! We started with the Seared Carpaccio for our appetizer and it was amazing. Delicious filet mignon with onion, fresno peppers, capers and cucumbers. Beautiful to look at and even more fun to eat! Hubby had the blackened halibut for dinner and pretty sure he licked the plate clean. Excellent cook on the fish, potato cake was luscious and the lemon caper sauce topped the meal perfectly. I had the CAB braised short ribs, and they were beautifully cooked with white cheddar potato puree and crispy shallots. It was a huge portion, so I got to take the leftovers home where we've both been enjoying it second day even more! Marco was attentive but didn't hang out at the table the whole time. He was funny, pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list. Will be back next month!“
