    I sat down outside, and it has been 7 minutes, yet no one has asked me if I need a menu. 10min... We shall wait and see how much longer it takes before I get noticed. Other patrons were asked if they needed anything.. twice. Finally, I flagged down the waitress for a menu and was guided inside to order my food. I opted for the anniversary special: potatoes, corn, shrimp, and a sweet wine. The owner was a little taken aback when he received a notification about my low-star review. I expressed that it was me, and to help him understand better, I explained the reason why. What was very unprofessional was that he verbalized this to the table next to me, revealing exactly what had happened and who had rated his establishment with low stars. Food 3/5 Music 5/5 Cleaningness 5/5 Customer Service 3/5 (May some improvement/ $7 tip for the Hostess,who finally attended me :) Sofie As I read the response from the owner I'm baffled..so from 3 stars to 1 stars . To say I used profanity, for what reason ?, however I did give a tip .Sir you have a bad temper. I didn't check in with anyone because no one was there and when I asked for a menu, 10 minutes later I was told the Menu for food was Inside. This is when you greeted me with a smile did you not forget. It's ok my review will stay and no I didn't just come to review, I wanted to yelp an eatery and I chose your establishment, I spent well over $40. Your passive aggressiveness shows.

    Chalkboard Menu for a special event
    Amanda H.

    Hosted a small private party at Clean Slate, and I would do it again and again. Everything about working with Jason to plan it was incredible and so easy! (Bonus: Jason had tons of recommendations for other things to do while we were in town!) Chef Melissa was a pleasure to work with as well- she perfectly curated a menu special for our event- catering to all dietary restrictions as well. The food was ridiculous! The event was the talk of the weekend, everyone definitely wants to visit the next time they are in town.

    Great place for vegan options in Solvang. We stopped by for indian food night on a Tuesday and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The wine was tasty and it had lively vibes even on an off-season weeknight.

    Love this place! Great Sparkling wine! Just what we wanted! And the setting is so chill. Great music, great service, totally cool vibe. Grab the big red couch and a charcuterie plate and melt away! Highly recommend Clean Slate Wine Bar! and they have more than bubbles, but that's what we are having now so that's all I'm reviewing. The other wines look great too. And did we mention the price point? Perfect price point.

    Clean Slate is nothing short of exceptional. Every dish feels like a personal masterpiece curated by the brilliant Chef Melissa--her creativity and attention to detail truly shine through in every bite. The menu changes daily, and yet, each meal is consistently unforgettable. What sets Clean Slate apart even further are the owners. Their warmth, hospitality, and deep knowledge--especially when it comes to wine--elevate the entire experience. You can tell every bottle has been thoughtfully selected to complement the menu perfectly. This place isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience. One of the best meals I've ever had, and I'll be coming back often.

    Monday night's Cajun menu

    We were pleasantly surprised to find this unique gem in downtown Solvang. Reading previous reviews piqued my interest due to the changing menu. We went on a Monday night for their Cajun menu. The chef Melissa is from Louisiana and she definitely delivers flavor packed authentic dishes! We were 2 couples and shared the harvest squash salad, red beans and rice, jambalaya, crab & shrimp etouffee and blackened chicken salad. Everything was delicious. The dessert was a flavor festival for the palate!! We sat out on the comfortable patio deck and the service was great. Melissa actually checked on us and served us a few times. It was a very special experience.

    I'm not sure it's possible to like this place more. Jason, Chef Melissa, and the entire team made our visit for their Just 8 Supper Club Event just perfect! Chef Melussa's dishes were as beautiful as they were scrumptious, and she caught all the nuisance of the wines offered with each dish. Jason has an outstanding grasp on different varietals and shared tips and thoughts on each tasting. We would return any time we are in the area and try their regular offerings. Just stellar!

    We had two flights of wine for $25. It was 3 white and 2 reds. The owners were very knowledgeable and have a great history on the wine. We even tried one from their vineyard. The patio was shaded and cool and you could watch people riding the bicycle carts by.

    Hands down the best meal of our trip! We ended our babymoon with a visit here, and it was nothing short of amazing. Although I couldn't enjoy their impressive wine selection, I still had the best time. The owner personally greeted us at our table, recommended a fantastic wine for my husband, and graciously created a non-alcoholic drink just for me -- even though it wasn't on the menu. That personal touch set the tone for a truly special evening. We weren't particularly hungry when we arrived, but the Cajun-inspired nightly menu was too tempting to pass up. We ordered the jambalaya and shrimp étouffée, and both were absolutely incredible. The cornbread was the perfect complement -- warm, flavorful, and comforting. The customer service was exceptional throughout. You can genuinely feel the owners' passion for their craft and their care for each guest. In a town that can sometimes feel overly touristy, this place stood out with its warm, welcoming, family-style atmosphere. We couldn't recommend it enough -- this was by far the best meal of our trip!

    A lovely gem in the heart of Solvang! Available for private events-we had the welcome party for my daughter's wedding and it was a big hit ! Great service, delicious food. Oh, and wine !

    Halibut curry and tikka masala

    Went on a Tuesday night and genuinely enjoyed our dining experience here. The food was tasty and the restaurant staff were warm and inviting!

    Red beans and rice

    Amazing wine and amazing food. We went on a Monday for Cajun night best gumbo and red beans and rice. I would be here every Monday if I didn't live 400+ miles away. The flautas were amazing and the crostini was the best. Such a cute family owned place

    Mimosas

    Final Girl Wines was a must stop for me while visiting Solvang!…read more Final Girl Wines is located in the heart of Solvang and is a funky addition to this magical little town. I am a huge horror fan so I was beyond excited to check them out over the weekend! The inside and vibe was all I could hope for and more! We were immediately greeted when we arrived and found a table to sit at and enjoy our time. There were only a few tables plus bar seating available so it was nice and cozy. I loved seeing all of the horror memorabilia, decor and merchandise throughout including the killer Ghostface mask and Halloween pinball machine. My husband ordered a glass of their Cab which he loved and I ordered a Vamperol Spritz - they were even kind enough to make our daughter a mocktail. They even brought her over a Nightmare Before Christmas activity kit to keep busy and we bought a Michael Myers sticker as well as a Nightmare Before Christmas hair clip to take home. I'm kicking myself now for not buying a t-shirt! Kids are very welcome at this winery which was a huge plus for us! Staff were personable and made our visit very enjoyable! Final Girl Wines also offers tasting flights and non-alcoholic options as well! They do not offer food, but there are so many great places in Solvang to check out. If you're a horror fan or just enjoy good wine, you have to check out Final Girl Wines while in Solvang! I can't wait to come back and give them another visit one day!

    Took my cousin for the 1st time to Solvang. She LOVES horror stuff. Got excited to try wine and…read morebest better than a horror wine shop. The wall colour was pretty but was a little unimpressed with the amount of horror stuff. Maybe having a horror movie on the back corner playing silent would be cool or more Halloween decorations? Somthing was missing. The chimney was cool though. Anyways, shop opened over an hour late. Came back a few times and noticed it was opened. We were the 1st customers in. My main issue is only the owner was not paying attention to not only us (party of 4) but also the couple in the front and the back corner. Gave all his attention to the people at the bar. I dont drink wine and wanted to learn more or at least which wine I like. He couldn't keep up with pouring my wine flight. Waited way too long for pours. Very little explanation of the wine or suggested pairings. And mentioned more than once "I forgot about you". My party was fed up wanted to leave after they finished their spritzers and glass but I was flight pour 3 out of 5. He did not asked if they wanted more drinks. My partner got tired of waiting and headed over to the counter for 10 minutes before being helped to pay since he did not go to our the table. I'm glad we decided to not eat there who knows how long we would have waited on food. I double the Suggestion from another post hire some additional help. I did see thought the day the shop is packed and I'm happy for that but I wish the owner would of delivered a better experience.

The owner was really nice and let us come in and explained how to become a member and all that good stuff. It def was a fun Speakeasy cause you don't know it's there unless you know what to look for because as you enter it's just a store that sells beer and snacks and that all. They have different varieties of beer here for purchase as well. As we came in the vibes are so chill not a very big place but enough to come hang with friends and have a beer on tap. They have an outdoor patio with heaters and TV's to catch a game as well. They sell some snacks but you are able to bring your own food which is really neat. Their beer selection was great and just loved every corner and wall of this place. List of history, fun displays and fun souvenirs for purchase. Def coming back here we loved it!

So I ended up just walking a bit farther to find a place to finish up some work on a Friday evening. Enter, Backroom Brewery. It's almost like a nondescript main entrance, like a store front where to go beers are sold. But then real through the store towards the back; voila the bar and patio. The vibe is super chill. There are a multitude of other breweries drafts on tap so that's great. Prices are a tad higher than what I've paid but it's a tourist area so it is what it is. Come check their place out when you get a chance!
