One thing we quickly noticed in Solvang is that there aren't many places open late, so finding High…read moreRoller Tiki Lounge open until 11 PM was a huge plus! After a delicious dinner nearby, we stopped in for drinks, live music, and a good time and this place delivered. They had a great live band playing fun tunes that really set the atmosphere. The vibe was relaxed, lively, and exactly what we were looking for to end the night. Their drink menu is packed with creative and fun options. I ordered the Mango Michelada, and it absolutely did not disappoint. Our waiter was also fantastic, very attentive, friendly, and kept checking in on us throughout the night. If you're in Solvang and looking for a fun late-night spot with good drinks, music, and great service, High Roller Tiki Lounge is definitely worth stopping

They have all the typical tiki fare, plus fun new ones to try! As a Vegas local, I loved to see the tribute drink to Frankie's Tiki Room too! Of course, everything comes served in a fun cup with a photo worthy presentation. The gentleman that served us was helpful and our service from him was great. I removed 1 star for the younger person who was behind the bar when we left and were trying to pay. To start, he seemed annoyed by a large group that walked in and was deciding if they wanted to stay. It also rubbed me wrong when he was loudly talking with someone at the bar about beliefs that might not be considered kind to some potential customers. Overall, didn't ruin the experience as it was a small part of it, and I would still recommend visiting this unique spot!

It wasn't a 5 because our server the first night wasn't very welcoming and a little awkward. The front desk told us to let our server know we were celebrating an anniversary for a special something and when we told him he said " I know. It was on your reservation, happy anniversary".

I ordered pulled pork with beans on the side and my boyfriend ordered the full rack of ribs with the elote corn. Both were delicious. We were starving when we got there so we were disappointed when we found out his ribs were cold. We told the server and she replaced it immediately, including the full side of corn we ate in the meantime cause we were too hungry to wait! It was definitely the best service we got during our entire time in Solvang. Highly recommend this place!

The novelty of spinning records wore off fast, and what could've been a cool, defining feature for…read morethe place ended up feeling more like a missed opportunity. Kelly seemed more focused on catering to a small group of guys in cowboy hats than maintaining the vibe that actually makes this spot stand out. Instead of reading the room, she and her May 1st bartender colleague locked into a single stream of country music that clearly wasn't resonating with most of the crowd. That's really the frustrating part, it wasn't just a music choice, it was the complete lack of awareness or willingness to adjust. People weren't being heard, requests were ignored, and the whole "records" concept felt pointless when it was treated so rigidly. If you're going to lean into vinyl as part of the experience, it should feel curated, responsive, and a little bit special, not like someone just putting on their personal playlist and tuning everyone else out. The drinks were genuinely great, which makes the situation even more disappointing. The potential is clearly there, but the execution on the atmosphere just didn't match. If the records are going to stay, they should actually be used to enhance the environment, not limit it. Otherwise, it might be better to ditch the gimmick entirely rather than let it drag down what could be an otherwise standout spot.

There was a menu adjustment but was more than acceptable for a large group of our size. The first thing I look for when I enter any place serving food is (is this place clean)? YES! Food safety is very important. Food taste excellent. Service was Excellent. The personal touches they put into hosting us for dinner were over the top. This was one of the best dinning experiences we have ever had. Thank you so much.

Our server Hally greeted us the moment we sat down. I asked her for an appetizer recommendation and she immediately named three with no hesitation, no hedging, no "everything's good here." We landed on the calamari and the Truffle Gnocchi, and that gnocchi was the surprise of the night. Not a lot of places do gnocchi at all, much less one built this well. Spinach dumplings, grilled artichokes, and a black truffle cream sauce that stayed balanced instead of heavy. Exquisite is not close. We both ordered the filet mignon. Perfectly cooked and tender enough to cut with a fork. Hally checked on us the whole night without ever being pushy or hovering. She was warm, welcoming, and completely professional; the kind of server who clearly takes pride in her work and is a real asset to the ownership team. This meal alone would bring us back to Solvang.

Kudos to the restaurant for addressing many of the issues we experienced previously! We started with the CAESAR SALAD, added chicken, and asked for it extra chopped. It was excellent. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and we especially enjoyed the added sunflower seeds, which gave the salad a nice texture and something a little different. The PARKER HOUSE ROLLS were fine, although we still feel that for $11, the serving should include more than two rolls. The PAN SEARED SCALLOPS were absolutely delicious--nicely seared and served with a corn salad/pudding that complemented them beautifully. The STUFFED BAKED POTATO was another standout. It was almost like a unique take on a twice-baked potato, with a wonderfully crispy skin and a generous amount of bacon and baked cheddar. Sour cream and butter were served alongside it. We've never had a baked potato prepared quite this way, and it was absolutely delicious. The STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING was the finishing touch. It was good, although we would have loved a little more caramel sauce. We also really enjoyed the ambiance. We sat in a comfortable booth with a nice view toward the front of the restaurant. Our booth had some interesting artwork with an old-man-of-the-sea feel, along with fishing lures and other nautical touches. The darker, moodier feel of the booth and the warm lighting gave the space a lot of character and made it a really comfortable place to settle in for dinner. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was fantastic, and we were very impressed by how much our experience improved from our first visit. It's always nice to see a restaurant respond to issues and get things right. We will definitely be back!

Before we arrived, I reached out to the hotel to see if there was anything they offered for birthdays. They told me they normally don't do much, which I completely understood, but the woman at the front desk, I believe her name was Geidy, said she would personally see what she could do. I had absolutely no idea just how far she was willing to go. I had balloons and a birthday cake being delivered to the hotel, and Geidy personally met the delivery drivers, collected everything, and set it all up in our room while we were out at breakfast. She kept in touch with me the entire morning, texting updates while I intentionally delayed our arrival so she could finish everything. When we finally walked into the room, it was beautiful. She had arranged the balloons, cake, complimentary bottles from the hotel, and even bought my girlfriend flowers with her own money. She also left a handwritten birthday note from the hotel wishing her a happy birthday and thanking her for spending her special day there. When I thanked her afterward, she was literally sweating from running back and forth getting everything ready for us--in well over 100-degree heat. She treated my girlfriend's birthday like it was important to her too, and that's something we'll never forget. The hotel itself was wonderful, but what made this stay truly unforgettable was Geidy's kindness and generosity. It's incredibly rare to meet someone who genuinely cares that much about making a stranger's experience special. We'll absolutely be staying at the Vinland every time we visit Solvang. And Geidy, if you happen to read this: thank you. You made my girlfriend's birthday so much more memorable than I ever could have on my own. Your kindness meant the world to both of us.
