    Herb Roasted Filet Mignon
    Dennis A.

    Ordered the Herb Roasted Filet Mignon, it was fantastic. Very tasty and cooked to perfection. The price point is spot on for a great meal. Definitely will visit again to try more delicious dishes. The whole menu looked enticing.

    Chipotle Avocado Chicken Sandwich
    Claudia C.

    Great spot for lunch with parking available. The menu offers local ingredients and seasonal options to enjoy. I had the chicken sandwich and my friend ordered their burger with some customization. They were very kind and accommodating.

    Flatiron steak

    Dynamite food. Small but cozy place. Flatiron steak w chimichurri and roasted broccoli. Substituted roasted sweet potato cubes for mashed potatoes, no problem. Perfectly grilled tender meat. Tritip sandwich also very tender. Highly recommend if near Buellton. Great service.

    AR Burger with French Fries (ordered to go, aioli on the side)
    Shelby S.

    I've been excited to try this spot and finally ordered food for takeout recently after a late work day. Their menu isn't huge but I can appreciate that because it shows they are preparing their foods well and know what they're doing versus trying to master a huge selection. The AR Burger is so good. We opted for French fries, but they aren't what we were expecting- they're cubed and fried pieces of potato. I needed a fork to eat them. The poke nachos are incredible. Huge fan. Love the pairing of the wonton chips. So good. We will definitely be back. It was super easy to place an order ahead for pick up and their prices are super comparable to other spots in the area for dinner.

    I'm not sure what magic they're working in Buellton, but the AR Restaurant and Catering off Highway 246 is an absolute gem. Our first visit we indulged in their exquisite croquettes and divine poke nachos. The croquettes were a crispy, golden delight, but it was the poke nachos that truly stole the show. Imagine delicate wonton chips, perfectly crispy and light, topped with fresh, succulent poke. The whole dish was drizzled with a creamy aioli dressing that was an explosion of flavors, reminiscent of the finest poke bowl dressing. Every bite was a taste sensation, a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left us utterly enchanted. We also had the salmon tacos which were bursting with flavor and were cooked to perfection. Our second visit in person we were able to meet Alex himself and it was a pleasure. This visit we ordered the chipotle wings, garlic shrimp, lentil soup and of course the poke nachos. It was all so delicious. We will be coming back again and again.

    Food and service spectacular. The chicken wings are to die for. Everything here was delicious and the people were warm and friendly. Super epic!

    Nothing left to take home!

    Empty plates! We love this gem of a restaurant and took some friends for dinner. The menu is creative, fresh, delicious, and doesn't disappoint!

    BEST FOOD TO EAT!!! LOVE THE AREA AND RESTAURANT.  NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN THE AREA GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!!

We were staying at the Pea Soup Anderson Inn and they let us know of some partnered restaurants at check in. Giorgio's was on the list for 15% off so we walked across the street to find a liquor store where you would never suspect had a high quality Italian restaurant in the back. There is a nice seating area, polite staff, and is very very clean. Truly a hidden gem!

    My family and I stopped at your restaurant on our way home to Lompoc because the menu and website…read morephotos looked great. We ordered the chicken picatta and sole picatta to-go, tipped despite not dining in, and drove 20 miles home. When we opened the boxes, both orders were incorrect. According to the board menu, the sole picatta comes with arugula, beets, pistachios, and potatoes (no capers), and the chicken picatta comes with capers, spinach, and potatoes. Instead, both dishes came with pasta and none of the listed sides. More concerning, the sole had capers--even though we specifically asked when ordering because my partner is allergic and were told it does not include them. Meanwhile, the chicken picatta, which should have had capers, had none. Portions were also quite small for the $22 price point. We tried calling the restaurant eight times with no answer. After contacting the liquor store it's located inside, we were told to call back in five minutes. When we did, the call wouldn't even go through. Since we couldn't reach anyone, we drove the 20 miles back to Buellton to request a refund. When I showed the chef the incorrect dishes, he insisted the picatta dishes come with pasta and produced a small, crumpled paper menu from under the counter showing that version. We were never given this menu and ordered solely from the board displayed above. There was no apology and no offer to remake the meals, only a refund when I requested it. The employee who originally helped us acknowledged they "haven't gotten around" to updating the board menu. Other reviews mention similar issues with discrepancies between the board and the paper menu, which suggests this is an ongoing problem. Thankfully, we received a refund and our tip back, but we drove a total of 60 miles and ended up without dinner, eventually eating at Blaze Pizza at 9:45pm after ordering from you at 6:15pm. Despite this disappointing experience, we would be willing to give your restaurant another try if complimentary meal vouchers could be offered. We understand that busy periods can lead to mistakes, but the lack of accountability and apology was the most frustrating part. Acknowledging errors and making things right builds trust. Photos of what was advertised versus what we received are attached. We hope for a better experience in the future; otherwise, we unfortunately will not return.

    By some stroke of luck, we arrived with a 0 minute wait at 12 on Valentine's Day (indoor seating…read morewas full but we didn't mind sitting outside). There's a cute sticker machine at the wait area, for a dollar you can get a random sticker in either the peasants farm/feast brand, or what I think are local brands and artists? We chose the local brands and the slight disappointment when a sole Enegren sticker was revealed, washed over us (none of us drink). But I enjoy it being there. Despite the chill there's plenty of heaters around that make the meal plenty enjoyable. The food is around $20-30 per person if you're being stingy like us and not ordering extras like drinks or starters. And the menu rotates daily I think, everything that was recommended to me by friends wasn't on the menu. But I felt pretty full with just half the fig grilled cheese for a meal and snaking on the rest later in the day. It was the perfect blend of savory sweet, like a cheesy geode with a rock exterior of Parmesan crispy bits flaking off and rich bread but inside was gooey soft cheese that was elevated with a satisfyingly sweet fig jam. The dipping sauce the potatoes were given is kind of boring, it looked colorful but felt like just a spicy mayo. The soup was a zappy blend of carrot, ginger, and turmeric? It felt like one of those health shots subdued down smooth with cream. Our server offered bread with it and we did assume it would be $5+ but it isn't listed in the menu to my knowledge. The hot chicken was really good though, there's a multifaceted layer where you can taste the sweetness of the bread, the kick of the pickles, the crunch of the breading, and finally the succulent chicken. It's quite good! Patio is dog friendly, we were seated next to a very polite, and very excited dog. So far my favorite place to eat in Solvang!

I kept coming across peasants FEAST and knew my family and I had to add it to our list. They were Michelin recognized in 2024! We decided to check them out for lunch on a Saturday, we showed up right when they opened and got a nice seat outside on their patio. The restaurant slowly started filling up more and more after we got there so glad we arrived when we did! They do not take reservations so it is first come, first served. We ordered the Kids Orecchiette with Butter, Lil McFeast Burger and the Solvang Hot Chicken. We got some drinks on the side as well including the Fresh Squeezed Lemonade which my daughter was obsessed with. I really enjoyed the food - it was fresh and well seasoned throughout. I asked for less spice on my Hot Chicken, but it was still spicy and tasty! Overall, it was a good meal, not my favorite of the trip, but still worth checking out for sure! Service was also spot on and she gave great recommendations! We would definitely give them another shot next time we're in Solvang! I really want to check out the Pastrami Smoked Salmon Sandwich and the Nannie's Frozen Lime Pie next time! Check them out!

We popped in today and were impressed by the huge selection of sandwich options. You can choose from several breads including focaccia, sourdough, baguette, or whole wheat, and then build from a really interesting variety of meats, cheeses, and vegetarian toppings. The cheese selection alone was worth the visit. They offer unique choices like Stilton, horseradish cheddar, and several English cheeses (plus plenty of brie options that work beautifully on their sandwiches). It's not your typical deli lineup, which makes the menu fun to explore. We ordered the half sandwich and half salad combo, which was the perfect portion for lunch. You can also order full sandwiches or full salads, and they offer chips on the side if you want a little crunch with your meal. For dessert we split an ice cream sandwich called "Monkey in the Middle." It had banana ice cream between two soft cinnamon cookies with chocolate hazelnut spread. We shared it four ways and it was the perfect little sweet ending. They also have a nice selection of canned beverages, and there's a water station out front if you just want something simple. Best of all, sitting outside in Los Olivos is such a treat. Great food, lots of creative options, and a relaxed wine-country atmosphere. We'll definitely stop again next time we're in town.
