So I had better hopes for CR but was ultimately disappointed. I've had their donuts through a friend and loved them, came here for that but was told they do not have them (all day that day they didn't have and were not making more) so then decided to sit down and get something to eat. Got their fish & chips which were good except for the young waitor dropping one on the table so I had to wait for a new one. My water glass had a crack at the lip which isn't a good touch, and i found a NOODLE in my VANILLA BEAN CHEESECAKE?? i thought it couldn't worse honestly. This visit really upset me from my previous rave I told my friends about their food. read more

This place is amazing and the staff were very kind and welcoming. I was there last Wednesday night and sat on the patio. We ordered the New York steak which was honestly one of the best steaks I've had in my life. It was flavorful and perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed the mac and cheese and two great appetizers. For dessert we had the donuts which were amazing and the peach crisp which was also really delicious. Absolute favorites were definitely the steak and the donuts. I highly recommend this restaurant when visiting Solvang. read more

We had lamb chops , salad , crispy tuna starter , skirt steak and wine . Our server Shelby was great . One entree halibut wasn't so great so they made it up by giving us their famous donuts, which I gotta tell you ... is out of this world. I think they need to decide on who their customers are fix their music that they're playing in the background would be one criticism I did have , we had a good time even though the dinner was not perfect.. read more

Firsr of all, we had impeccable service. Don't But first and most the food was fabulous. I recommend the stroganoff the mushrooms. and the snapper. definitely worth the 45 minute drive from Pismo Beach read more

I recommend for sure, the 22 ounce steak was cooked perfect as requested and the flavor was off the chain!! Service was well worth the price, o don't normally spend 70 sum bucks on a steak however I would again here for sure!!! Hit this place if you want a quality steak!! read more

After walking around in solvang, I think i deserve to eat something good and heavy! Walked pass by this place around 7pm, I saw a waiter holding a tomahawk. Right that then, it invited me to come in and have dinner in here. food: oyster- MY FAVORITE! very addicting! the taste is spot on! bread-soft and warm puréed potato very buttery but good! tomahawk -cooked medium well, well seasoned, juicy, the char on tomahawk didn't taste burnt, not chewy and it's good for 2 people key lime pie- it was okay.. it was a great experience! great customer service! place is neat, they have heater outside but the chairs and tables are too close to each other. read more

Cute place to eat, but if you don't normally add salt to your food, go elsewhere! If you tend to add more salt to your food regardless of where you are at, this place perfect for you. We came here a couple months back and had a couple drinks at the bar and service wasn't that great. We decided to come back because we wanted to try some of the appetizers they had and also celebrate my wife's birthday. We made reservations but it wasn't that busy at the time- 6pm. We ate inside and it had a nice old feel. Our booth had pictures of the old Fords back in the days. Service this time was a lot better than the bar. The tuna crudo made me wanting more spice. I'm used to eating serranos, habaneros, etc, but maybe they toned it down for the tourist not used to the heat. They do give you chopsticks to eat the tuna crudo, which I thought was unnecessary. When we 1st got the chopsticks we were confused, but when the wife asked why we got chopsticks, they said it was for the tuna crudo. Had my brother been there, he would have joked and called them racist f*s. Seriously, you don't need to give people chopsticks for one app. The steak tar tar was ok and nothing stand out about it. The grilled bone marrow had a good amount of marrow, but it was too salty for me. I tried to cut the salt level with the bread but it didn't do much. It was too salty for me to enjoy. The fritto misto had a good variety of things and included the legs of the calamari, but the Thai chili sauce made me want something spicier. The other dipping sauce was ok, and it was nice having 2 different sauces to dip them in, but this was also very salty for me. I was looking forward to the Tomahawk, but left disappointed. Not only was it too salty for me to enjoy, but there was nothing special in the flavor of the meat (the Willow's tomahawk has a significant difference in the flavor compared to their other meats, in a good way). They were able to cook the meat perfectly med-rare and they do slice the meat for you. The pomme puree was very creamy. I personally do not like creamy things, but if you like creamy soup, this would be perfect for you. The grilled asparagus had a nice charred flavor and wasn't too salty like the other meals. The brioche donuts were hot and fresh and had a nice buttery taste after the 1st bite, but then started to taste saltier and saltier. We almost thought the mixed the salt with the sugar. The vanilla ice-cream helped a bit, but not enough. It was a struggle for me to finish the donut. When I left the restaurant my feet were swollen from all the salt. I had to take off my shoes because they were too tight for the drive back home. I'm hesitant to give this place another try, but would most likely start off small with appetizers to see if it was an off day for the chefs. read more

I pass this restaurant all the time and finally decided to try it for our 40th anniversary. The cozy bar out front is great for a pre dinner cocktail. We arrived early and did enjoy a cocktail, which tasted okay. They seated us as soon as the dining room opened. Some of the tables are partitioned off to be totally private, which is what we opted for. The atmosphere, again, is cozy and warm. After being seated the server brought us glasses of complimentary sparkling wine to celebrate our day. The service was excellent. My hubby ordered filet mignon, I ordered salmon. As is so often the case these days, the quality of the steak was not up to par, a little mealy, plus it was definitely not the 7 oz. that was advertised. Unfortunately, it is really hard to get high quality steak anymore, however, the flavor was good. On the other hand, my salmon was cooked perfectly and so tasty. The potato puree was heavenly too. In addition, we ordered asparagus (didn't care much for how it was prepared) but they were generous with the serving size. And prior to dinner we had an artichoke, which was good. It had cheese on it which was different for us. And for dessert, we had a delicious homemade brownie sundae. Dinner was on the whole, very good. Bonus, we got to meet the chef and his adorable basset hound who on occasion has been known to greet you at the door. read more

The food is pricey and food was average. We were expecting more as was recommended with Michelin rating. Nice ambiance.

Food was amazing! Loved the cocktails at their Vaquero bar inside the restaurant. Good staff, high quality food (great meats/produce). I highly recommend making a reservation for dinner when visiting Solvang. You won't be disappointed! Located in the heart of downtown Solvang on Mission. read more

I only knew of Coast Range because I wanted to check out their attached bar. I figured, why not try their restaurant out as well. I made a reservation and they seemed like they were running a little behind so I got to try out their bar a little earlier than I had planned (separate review later.) Got seated about 15 minutes after the reservation, not too bad for a busy weekend night. After waiting for a while I was pretty hungry so I started out with not one, but two apps: the artichoke and the octopus. The artichoke was good-there was a ton of cheese and peppers on the top but the following leaves were still pretty flavorful. I thought it would be disappointed by the octopus because it seemed like it was one tentacle in a sea of lima beans. What I will say is that yes, it's a single tentacle but it goes so well with the beans. In fact, I was eager to finish the beans even after the feature item was gone; if they changed the item to just the beans I would still order it. For my main, I decided to go for one of their steaks and I went for the ribeye and I got the mac and cheese as well as the mushrooms. The ribeye comes with a sauce and I got the black truffle jus. I didn't need the jus-the ribeye was cooked to my doneness and it was terrific-went particularly well with the mushrooms which wasn't a surprise. The shells though were marketed as 'Big Shell Mac n' Cheese' and I'm like yeah sure. They were huge, like manicotti but the cheese combination of sheep milk and comte was rich without being overly so, not sure how they got it to that point but it was there. By that point, I was literally too full to even hear about dessert, so guess I'll have to come back. read more

Everything about this restaurant checked all the boxes for us! Food- incredible. Atmosphere- cozy, romantic. Service- great. Wine list- impressive. Definitely on the pricier side but what I will say is you get what you pay for. Dishes are big and filling unlike many other fine dining establishments. Loved the booth setting. We were so comfortable the whole time. We ordered the grilled artichoke, French onion soup, Cobb salad, two different steaks, and a side of mashed potatoes. We were so full leaving but with the happiest bellies. French onion soup was the best we've ever had. Artichoke was delicious and Cobb salad was solid. Steaks were cooked perfectly and had such a delicious char. Only complaint is the mashed potatoes were super runny. Would definitely come back! read more

Chicken Caesar salad ordered no croutons. But they were added anyway. The chicken was almost inedible. It was dry like sand paper. Took 5-10 minutes to be noticed and seated. The person behind the coffee counter refused to make eye contact or acknowledge me Always expensive and rarely a good experience. I'm done trying it read more

Gabby is the best bartender in the valley ! Great food, great drinks, great service. Great vibes at the bar.

Had an amazing dinner and even better service. Our server Liz was nothing short of amazing and I would definitely be back. The beef stroganoff was great and the donuts were awesome. read more

I am so disappointed by this experience. Me and my 3 girlfriends went here for a birthday dinner and what should have been a quick dinner turned into a 2 hour experience of extremely slow service- and this place is not cheap. Issues in summary: -first appetizer arrived- waited 10 min for cutlery- so we were just staring at the food (we only ordered appetizers- no entrees) - water was not refilled for 30 min until we asked -45 min for the glass of wine to come out - did not write down our baked potato order- so that was never served. The server said she would have remembered because they have been sold out. The table next to us received theirs. We even saw the table next to us furious and demanding the check. Their dessert came out as they were leaving and they asked for it to go. The server said "sorry we can't pack it to go" wowwww It was a soufflé so I get it, but do what you can to make the guest happy at that point. We didn't even get a chance to go dancing at the maverick for the birthday girl because the dining experience took so long. So we went straight back to the hotel and munched on some snack since we left hungry from the crazy long wait. Really too bad! read more

This restaurant and bar are simply on point! A quaint outside area which is wonderfully unassuming and inviting. We have been to the bar before and appreciated the cocktails, vinyl record music and ambience. We finally came back to dine in the restaurant and what a fantastic experience. The inside of the restaurant is classic with cozy booths, pictures, and old school ice buckets. And then there is the food....one dish after the other was incredible. We ordered so many dishes that it is hard to single out one as the best. We had to force ourselves to stop eating, it was so delectable. Service was gracious. We often travel up to Solvang and this will be undoubtedly a place we will look forward to frequenting! I wish it was closer!!! Well done! read more

We came right at 5 PM on a Friday when they opened and had an incredible experience. Our server was helpful and kind. Service was quick. The ambiance was cozy and relaxing. We ordered the filet mignon, macaroni and cheese, and the pomme purée. Everything was delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

Our waitress was so incredibly rude, she ruined our $800 dollar dinner and the rest of our evening. Expect to be charged for soda refills..... what kind of "Michelin" restaurant does that!!?? Also expect Additional 3% for "employees health insurance " and 20% automatically added as "gratuity", regardless of how rude your server is. The entire staff looks miserable. Skip this place! read more

Amazing food and cool interior space. It's a cozy yet eccentric feel at the restaurant but you can tell they're big on their meat! The bone marrow was great although it was a little too much vinegar for my liking, everyone else loved it. The chicken came back undercooked but they were able to provide a fresh batch that was cooked well. The star of the night was the artichoke and the steak Service took a little while to come around but otherwise amazing hospitality. Would definitely come back for a nice dinner. read more

We went for Easter Dinner and Hallelujah we are so grateful we did. Dark wood adorned the booths and many different painting with nautical themes were pinned to the walls. The menu is straightforward forward with meat and fish ala carte on the grill. There are sides and accompaniments such as baked potato, creamed spinach or big shell mac and cheese. They also offered blue cheese crust or a 6oz lobster tail among other items. We ordered the artichoke and fritto misto. The artichoke was juicy, buttery and cheesy. Some lemon on the side and maybe a bit of drawn butter could have been nice but was still tasty and the leaves and palm were nice and tender. The fritto misto was great, incorporating different veggies plus the calamari. There were sweet peppers and broccolini all fried to perfection with a light batter. The tartar sauce was creamy but the chili sauce they gave you was divine! House chopped salad with egg avocado bacon tomatoes iceberg lettuce and blue cheese crumbles and dressing. This paired nicely with the Prime Rib Dinner and Lobster tails but I think it was a little on the smaller side and overdressed. I would ask for the dressing on the side next time. Love the beets! Prime Rib Dinner with pomme purreé broccoli rabe and a horseradish sauce. Prime rib cooked to perfection, medium rare, melt in your mouth tender. Phenomenal crust was so dang good. Huge portion took some home, FYI: I think this is only available on Sundays. The lobster tails were nice and buttery had a great texture and flavor really enjoyed it all together. Melissa D was very friendly, knowledgeable, swift and expedient. A terrific meal worth the drive. read more

Tourists beware. I'll start out on a positive note and say that the waitress and the manager were very pleasant and were genuine to be accommodating. The rest of the experience was very poor. For a high end restaurant such as this I would've expected to be treated so much better by the hostess and the food should have been so much better prepared. We arrived two minutes early to our 5 pm reservation and was told to wait in the bar. Yet they sat other people at their outside tables with menus waiting for the 5 o'clock hour to begin. There were plenty of empty outside tables at the beginning of the dinner hour and seeing that others were already seated, we selected a table for two close to the other group of customers. When the hostess came out, she looked at us as if we were imposing on where we wanted to sit as she was going to seat us inside. I understand they are balancing out the waiting staff but we had their first time slot reservation so not sure why we had to be slighted. It was a very uncomfortable situation. However, she did allow us to sit at the table for two. I ordered the lamb to be cooked medium and it arrived at the table raw so they took it back and threw the same ones on the grill quicker and brought them back. The side of mushrooms came lukewarm/cold and they reheated them. And then when I tried to cut into the reheated lamb, it was extremely tough to cut and eat. It was smothered in salty butter. They were accommodating to switch out my meal, which I switched to the scallop appetizer, and it was so salty I could barely eat it. The side of mushrooms was equally extremely salty and I ate one forkful. They did give us free Parker rolls while I waited for my replacement meal to come. We ordered the Affogato dessert and the ice cream scoop was the size of a cookie dough scoop. It wasn't even the normal ice cream scoop size literally two 1/2 small spoonfuls of ice cream. I've had this desert many times before, and that was the weakest I've ever seen. It got to the point where we didn't want to complain again. With the price of their food and the way it was repaired it absolutely was not worth the money and we walked away from them feeling as if the food really was a rip off and not healthy given how they prepared it with a large amount of salt. The bill was $140 for scallop appetizer,side of mushrooms and Alaskan Halibut. No soft drinks or alcohol, just water. My fingers are still swollen this morning from the salt. read more

Really good Beef Stroganoff and Onion Soup. The bone marrow was really good too. Got charged for a birthday ice cream I believed was complementary tho :/ read more

Food was ok. I got the beef stroganoff had a very strong horseradish flavor that's all you could really taste. Got a massive cluster of mushroom on the bottom that were all stuck together. Steak and as very undercooked. When asked about the 3% service charge she said " it's to pay for our heath care " and that was all didn't really say if It was a city thing or just them. Sad the birthday dinner was not worth what we paid. read more

We enjoyed a week in Santa Barbara county and several days in Solvang. We also enjoyed several wineries and restaurants making for a wonderful vacation other than the rain and the cold weather. One of our best experiences was at the Coast Range restaurant in Solvang. The meal was great and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend Coast range for any visitors. We had steaks and baked potatoes - unusual for us - and it was exceptional. read more

I had a fantastic dinner here over the summer. My friend and I opted for the bar because it was less fussy. The bar menu is slightly different and in my opinion, more approachable because it's very non-committal with a medley of cheaper thrills. We shared the following: -daily fresh fish crudo ($18): habanero yuzu koshu, shiro dashi + cilantro -chāteau potatoes ($9): hand cut steak fries with 3 dipping sauces -vaquero burger ($22): house ground beef, white cheddar, secret sauce Damn, everything was so insanely good. The crudo was citrusy and fresh - you could really taste the freshness of the fish without being weighed down by sauce. And the chāteau potatoes were out of this world good. They look like regular ole wedge potatoes, but they were so damn good with all the dipping sauces. Likewise, I loved the burger as well - super succulent patty. White cheddar with a burger patty is the way to go. Patrons were friendly, but the waitstaff was even friendlier. I ended up staying out later than anticipated, but no complaints here. Coast Range made for a great night out. read more

The food was just okay. The onion soup was good and the calamari was ok. We got the New York steak which was super rough even for medium rare.

Gotta say this is one of my favorite restaurants in all of the area in and around Santa Barbara. The food and service is top notch. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions. Every time I've been, I have had a wonderful server. This far, I never have had a food item I didn't want to eat over and over again. The bone marrow (pictured) is one of my favorite renditions I've tasted anywhere the world. The calamari appetizer is my favorites in Southern Cali. The decor and atmosphere are cozy, old world feeling and have a high end vibe. They also make a mean cocktail. Their bar is one of the few open late in Solvang. I've recommended lots of locals and tourists to come here. Highly highly recommend! read more

We've been wanting to visit Coast Range as we are in Solvang several times a year - well, we did and it did not disappoint! It's a bigger dining area than I thought (but still small), the staff was great, they suggested paired wine for our dishes - it was exactly what you want with fine-dining. The miso cod was top notch but the Shrimp Scampi was the best I've ever had. Both the shrimp and pasta was cooked to perfection. I recommend the rock crabs as a starter and the Silver Stallion as a cocktail if you're not drinking wine. read more

The food was great. Our waitress and the rest of the crew is great. It was dog friendly place. One of my dogs who is friendly, was barking for other dogs' attention. Everything was great until the owner walked up to me and said that the other patrons were complaining about us. I've been to many fine established restaurants and managers and owners walked up to us and asked if everything is ok. This owner walked up to me and complained about my dog and wanted us to leave immediately. We were having a great time celebrating my wife's birthday until he wanted us to leave. Things could've been handled a lot differently. We were hurt and disappointed but understand that he's running his business. Our waitress and another waitress were great. I was angry but I wasn't going to let anymore bad jujus affected us. What's done is done. I wish nothing but the best for the establishment and their team. read more

I can't see anything negative because it was also good! Expensive but so worth it. We had the steak tartare, filet mignon, Caesar Salad, big shells-stuffed mac & cheese, and the top off the evening, a Affogato for dessert. Our server Chelsea B was so nice, sweet and accommodating. read more

Salty, too salty, and burnt food. Service is great so I would give them 4 stars. Nice ambience. 1 star is for the food. Most of our dishes are very salty. Filled mignon is burnt and very salty outside. The inside tastes soft and just right. Salmon is similar, burnt and very salty outside. Veal parm has salty sauce. Creamy spinach side dish would be ok if less salty. We were very disappointed. read more
