WOW! Now this is a place that deserves its Michellin star status!! The food was DELICIOUS!!! Everything we ate was cooked to perfection and tasted out of this world. They also had great non-alcoholic drink options- which I loved!!! The service was so incredibly friendly!! It did take a long time for our food to come, but the wait was absolutely worth it!! The decorations were elegantly beautiful- with green lamps at our booth setting the aesthetic. This place is just so delicious. I definitely recommend it. ALSO, my mom got the donut for her birthday dessert and it was the best donut any of us had ever had!!! read more

Food was amazing. Service was okay, not great. I've been here before about a year ago and it was great. The only reason I'm taking a star off is because they had their dog wondering the dining room going table to table. While he was cute, Honestly, it didn't bother me all that much, but one of my guests was concerned for the cleanliness of the establishment, and not comfortable around dogs. I'll be back again. The blue cheese crusted New York steak was amazing. We also enjoyed then pork belly appetizer, and French onion soup. Ooo so good. read more

Michelin Star my A$$!! It wasn't the price, but the food was beyond awful. A picture is worth 1000 words. Compare the difference between four years ago and 2025. White iceberg, lettuce really !! Cold halibut served with brown unidentifiable side dish. See photos. Yuck do not go here They did have some cool music and a pretty booth, but that's all I can say that was positive!! read more

If you like a good steakhouse, this place is above and beyond. The steak was cooked perfectly. The sides were mouthwatering. If they have a long wait time, I recommend you do the wait. The service was top notch, friendly, and accommodating. The place itself was well decorated and the lighting was very romantic. A must place to go, for an overly nice dinner. I still dream about the mashed potatoes. The artichokes and sauce was just done perfectly. Melt in my mouth steak. read more

This was our first visit to Coast Range and we had a lovely experience. We were there during a very busy weekend during Julefest, but we were able to get late reservations. The restaurant was comfortable and the server was excellent. 5/5 - 22oz Creekstone Bone In Ribeye 5/5 - 6oz Maine Lobster Tail: best thing I ate! 5/5 - French Onion Soup 5/5 - Bone Marrow: With pickled shallots vinaigrette, red onion jam and grilled bread. My husband said it was the best bone marrow he'd ever had! 4/5 - Brioche Donuts: With brown butter glaze. My husband loved these! 3/5 - Rigatoni Pasta: "Wagyu Beef Bolognese, parmesan foam". This tasted great, but this was in no way a cheese foam! It was definitely a cheese sauce. Don't have a bougie description if you can't live up to it. I probably would have rated this higher if we hadn't been disappointed. The food came out to 4.5 stars. I can definitely bump it to 5 stars based on the service! read more

Best meal, service and ambiance. I look forward to coming to Solvang specifically for Coast Range every time!!!

First time here at this restaurant. My suggestion: please try to train the person who greets your guests a little better. Tell her not to ask the guests "How can I help you?" We have only one reason to be there. To have dinner since we have a reservation at 7:30pm. We did not go there to buy shirts or hats. Our server, her name was Karla, spilled half of the water of pitcher on our table while pouring. You would think that she will come back to wipe it down since it was already spilling towards my seat. Did not come back at all, so I have to wipe the table down with my own napkin. At the end of it all, it's not worth the $300 that we paid for dinner for two at this restaurant. VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. DEFINITELY NOT COMING BACK OR RECOMMENDING THIS PLACE. read more

The food is so good. The skirt steak melts in your mouth. French onion soup yum. The donut though, I would literally drive back to Solvang just for that donut! read more

Best restaurant in the area for date night. We tried different apps and dessert. Great ambiance and location. Must try if in area.

As our first visit to Solvang ended, we found most of the town had already closed. Luckily, we discovered an open restaurant with incredible food and a moody, intimate vibe--a perfect end to the day. read more

I ordered the Steak Fretz, medium rare, and cooked to perfection. Although small, it was a good steak, though the fries fell short. The staff were incredibly friendly and the service was quick. Overall, great experience. read more

Coast Range - Steak Fretz - Steakhouses Near Me - Solvang, California

What I leave feeling like is that if they could grab me by my ankles and shake all the money from my pockets they would. Is the food good, sure. Are the drinks good, sure. Is the price worth the experience, not if you have to care about your finances. I just get the feeling that this is a spot that is looking to maximize its income. That's fine but it isn't for me. I don't begrudge a restaurant trying to survive in a difficult economy but there has to be a relationship between cost and experience. And coast range has lost that for me - the whole experience feels like it's not worth the price tag. read more

Range Days Ahead Highly-acclaimed newish restaurant (2021) that's fronted by acclaimed chefs Anthony Carron and Steven Fretz and a pastry/dessert program run by James Beard nominated pastry chef Lincoln Carson. They're already off to a ripping start, as they've already nabbed two Michelin Guide recommendations ('22 & '23) and was one of two restaurants we *had* to visit on our latest trip to Solvang. The fact that we actually visited twice (once for dinner, and once for brunch) in one visit is pretty rare for us, as we're like bumblebees that are constantly on the move from one restaurant to the next. The Good: *Locally-sourced products from their own cattle farm to fish straight from the Santa Barbara Pier. Their menu changes from season to season to highlight what's good. *Overall the service was friendly, swift, and not too annoying. There was a bit of an issue with a snarky hostess, but let's be honest, shall we, that's pretty much part of the job description for a good host/hostess. *Reservations for dinner are recommended and available thru the handy-dandy Yelp app in your hands. *Fantastic old-timey roadhouse meets burlesque shop décor. The exterior is also just as gorgeous, as they're housed in an old Victorian. *Dog-friendly outdoor seating *Booths!! Actual honest to goodness booths! I was literally just asking Carissa, "You remember when all restaurants had the privacy of a booth?" And like a prayer, the food gods answered. *Great bar and local microbrews on-tap (alcohol actually comes from their next-door sister Vaquero Bar) *Carissa's "Atlantic" salmon was cooked to absolute perfection, despite the outward Blackened appearance. One second more--and it would've been overdone. It's also important to note that they actually asked how you want your fish cooked, which is extremely rare. Medium, of course... *Potato Pierogies had a fantasticly crisp exterior and soft juicy interior. My one complaint was I wish they had a little more sauce on the dish. *Parker House Rolls, too, came out warm, soft, and so full of good buttery flavor. I'd order these again in a heartbeat. #Carboholic *I figured I should try some of their house-grown beef, and I was able to rectify that the next day as I ordered the Steak Fretz w/ eggs, and it was a breakfast fit for a king. The beef was tender, full of flavor and cooked expertly medium-rare. The well-seasoned steak fries were the perfect foil and especially when enveloped in the rich, velvety egg yolks. *Potato Cake was like a McDonald's Hasbrown on steroids. Just get it. *Carissa raved about her Eggs Benedict as "the best" she's ever had. The Meh: *Wagyu Beef Stroganoff was a bit of a letdown, especially since it was the Michelin Inspector's recommendation. Perhaps it was a case of the hype getting the better of the dish, as it wasn't bad in the least. In fact, it was quite good, but it was missing a little something to push it over the top, which is what I'd expect from a dish of this caliber. The Ugly: *Coast Range Brioche donuts were everything they're advertised and then some. Soft, tender, and a smooth not-too-sweet glaze. Did I pay $15 for two tiny donuts? Yes. Yes, I did. And I'd do it again in a heartbeat. #FatAss Conclusion: Fantastic high-caliber, seasonal, and just plain delicious food at a price, but 100% worth a visit if you're in town or even staying somewhere nearby. read more

Another restaurant week in the books and we really loved it here. We sat inside but both in and out were cozy. The service we received here was fantastic. The server and waitress that were assigned to us were friendly and on top of it even on a busy Saturday night. As for the meal, We each got a cocktail and they were okay, maybe 3 stars. We were thinking maybe we should've looked into if there's a cork fee & just bring a bottle of wine that we love instead. We did the 3 courses and added an appetizer which was Not our smartest move given they do good portion sizes, however it was worth it because we got the bone marrow and it was divine. First course was a shrimp Louie salad with a cup of split pea soup. 2nd was braised lamb with cheese ravioli and dessert was an apple carrot cake. Everything was delicious. Hearty and well seasoned. I really struggled through the ravioli because I was so full already lol overall, the michelin guide got it right in our opinion. We had a stellar date night here and will be back! read more

We regret choosing to eat here on Christmas day. It was overpriced, they had limited choices before 5pm, and my steak was raw. We still made the best of it and they did fix my food.

Ambiance is such a vibe here! Nice and dark and moody. Food was pretty good. My filet was more rare than medium rare :/ and it needed a touch more salt. But the salad had this like lemon flavor and paired with the steak it tasted amazing!! The shell Mac and cheese was 10/10. Bone marrow was great too 8/10 I didn't care for the jelly that it came with it. I don't think the flavors go together but that's just personal preference. Also my lychee martini wasn't that good. Overall I think I would come back here. read more

Background On Visit: On trip advisor, this establishment was on the list of restaurants to eat at. So we went. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restrooms: There's two unisex restroom stalls to choose from Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with modern furnishings. Can be loud depending on the patrons that come through the door. Service: For the most part, service was pretty good. Food came out at a decent time also. Food: 1) Cobb Salad: Salad was great. What's great about it is that it's shareable and quite refreshing. Asked for the dressing and blue cheese to be separated from the salad. Greatest idea ever. 2) French Onion Soup: French onion soup was delicious. The cheese was the cherry topper for me. Plenty of cheese stretch moments while consuming. 3) Smoked and Grilled Half Chicken: The entree also included truffled manchango polenta and haricot verts (French green beans). Absolutely loved the chicken. It was moist and flavorful. The other element that made this plate very good was the polenta. Absolutely double YUM! Coast Range For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to the restaurant to try their Michelin mentioned fried chicken sandwich during brunch and eat their smoked and grill half chicken again. read more

So this place was conveniently located right across the street from our hotel. Lucky for us there was no wait and we're seated right away. I do believe that they take reservations.The restaurant itself is very nice and classy. It had a romantic vibe and perfect for date nights and even proposals. My husband ordered the Rib eye. It came with a side salad .He also had a side of the potatoes. Mostly everything on the menu is a la carte. I had the fried calamari appetizer as my main course. It came with fried veggies and was a nice size. We also ordered the delicious rolls. I also ordered a passion fruit margarita and my hubby ordered lemonade. Everything was great and a special thank you to our server Chelsea. read more

I rarely leave one star reviews, but the experience my siblings, boyfriend, and I had at Coast Range on Christmas Eve was so upsetting that I feel compelled to share. As a 20 year old woman who works really hard and planned this holiday road trip to give my younger siblings a memorable time, I left the restaurant feeling dismissed and disrespected. From the start, the service was abysmal. Our waitress, Yesenia, was unwelcoming and condescending, as if she had already decided that we didn't belong there. I always strive to be polite, so the coldness we received felt both unwarranted and unprofessional. To make matters worse, the hostess I'm assuming (tall white blonde woman) felt only inattentive to us. Every group around us was asked about their seating preferences (inside or outside), yet we weren't given a choice and were unceremoniously placed outside next to the door, the least desirable spot of course. This wasn't an isolated moment. I observed an Asian woman ahead of us being ignored until she physically had to wave someone down for help, while a white family in behind her was served promptly. Later, when I tried to get the hostess's attention to pay, she didn't even acknowledge me, yet she happily chatted with other (white) customers that came after. Also, the water had visible particles floating in it. Completely unacceptable for any dining establishment. The food itself was average, certainly not enough to justify the poor service or the unpleasant experience. The only notable feature was the bathroom, which was aesthetically pleasing but hardly makes up for everything else lol. Be better. read more

So I really wanted to like this place! It wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. I was expecting it to be a lot better too because it was rewarded Michelin star in 2022 and 2023...Their food was fresh and flavorful but my wagyu stroganoff was a little too tangy ... probably from the horseradish cream and I got a really chewy piece of meat that I couldn't even swallow. Plus on he menu I was ordering from it didn't say the meat was wagyu... I had to ask. Then their computers were down and one of the dishes that we ordered didn't get put in and the waiter forgot the drink we ordered. I do have to say the Mac and cheese was like nothing I ever tasted it was rich and creamy and I had a bite of the rigatoni and it was very delicious. But all in all not worth what I paid for. read more

Hmmmm? I had dinner here this evening and I was disappointed. Always when going to a Michelin star restaurant, there are expectations. I always try to keep these expectations in check. Tonight I was disappointed by the lack of attention to detail from the kitchen, which is an indicator that this restaurant has lost its edge and strong leadership in the kitchen maintaining consistent quality. Let me tell you about our evening... We ordered a bottle of wine. Good etiquette observed by our server Liz. Liz was friendly and welcoming. She provided excellent service. We ordered the tuna crudo and Parker Rolls as starters. Both were very well made. The Parker Rolls were warm pillowy with butter, chives, and light salt on the top. We were off to a very good start. For entrees we ordered steaks. My wife ordered a filet and I ordered the New York strip. My entire steak was lukewarm when it was served. It must have been fired too soon and was resting for 20-25 minutes. Our side of pomme puree was also lukewarm. The pad of butter they put on top to finish the potatoes remained unmelted. That is how cool the potatoes were. They had the correct Robuchon puree consistency, but they were just not hot. These are not attributes of a high performing kitchen nor the attention of an executive chef doing their job. Very disappointing. The final straw was their signature dessert of brioche donuts with brown butter glaze. While the batter and the glaze are genius, again the execution was flawed. The donuts were not cooked long enough and were 'doughy'. Ughhh! Even though they weren't cooked long enough, the donut batter and glaze were a delicious sweet and salty treat...kind of like eating a perfect chocolate chip cookie dough raw. A guilty pleasure you know you shouldn't eat. I would have probably given Coast Range 2 stars except the service from Liz was very good. Michelin star restaurants should not have such significant flaws with cooking. If I were an Owner, I would be evaluating my executive chef and brigade leadership in the kitchen. I probably won't be back to Coast Range on future visits and will try other options in the area. read more

I made a reservation for my partner's birthday a few weeks in advance. Overall, we were a bit disappointed in Coast Range. I'll start with some highlights. The cocktails were amazing ! I got the Cranberry Spritz and my partner got the zero-proof Mint to Be (Sober). Both were extremely tasty and fruity! The crust on my filet mignon was excellent, and the pomme purée was delicious. We had an issue with the brussels sprouts being too charred, but they fixed it with the new order. The house rolls are tasty, but not worth $10 imo since they're tiny and we only got two in our order. Some of my biggest cons had to do with overall ambiance. The outdoor seating is decently warm in December due to heat lamps, but it's so cramped and hard to relax. The finer details- the chairs, plateware, silverware- are not what I expected from a Michelin recommend steakhouse of this price point. The presentation of the food is extremely subpar. A $75 steak is just plopped on a plain white plate with a sad salad and roasted pepper. The salad is comprised of a microgreen in a vinagrette, I would have appreciated more effort into it, such as additional greens variety, other veggies, cheese, nuts, or fruits. In my reservation, I had detailed it was my partner's birthday. I never expect anything included for a birthday, but the table next to us received a complementary birthday dessert while we only got the check. I found it a bit strange! Overall it wasn't a terrible dining experience, but sadly I couldn't recommend it to anyone else in good faith after paying $250+ for 2 people. read more

Went on a day trip for New Year's Day since we have some visitors. Our reservation is at 5pm so we pretty much choose where we want to be seated which is outside. There are heaters so it was comfortable. There's a bar right next to it so it can be loud but we didn't mind. We were a big group and indoors they seem to only have booths. Checking the menu the selection is a bit pricey for a la carte and entrees items but they have daily specials and on the day we went it was fried chicken and waffles. We have 4 minors in our group so we ordered beef stroganoff, bunch of chicken and waffles, steak from the kids menu and ribeye steak both cooked medium, I also had the French onion soup. For the steak's sides we had the mushroom and the chicken and waffles actually come with a few side items. So this restaurant is in the Michelin guide list and while dining I wondered which dish gave them the recognition and I found out it was for their chicken sandwiches - which was not on the dinner menu. Service - I think they tried given it was a busy day, food took longer than we expected, server apologized and mentioned they are under staffed. Food was just ok - nothing memorable for me. Will i go back? Maybe for apps and drinks or to actually try the crispy chicken sandwich. I thought it was odd that it's not on the menu. read more

Amazing food and service! We were driving from SF and were running 20 min behind, contacted them through OpenTable and got a quick response that they could move our reservation out (given that we could give the table back within a time limit).

I agree with many other reviews that this restaurant is not Michelin star worthy, nor worth a stop in Solvang. We came at 2pm after typical peak lunch hour and it wasn't very crowded at all. We were sat in 15 minutes and we already noticed the waiters and an older lady that looked like the manager had no interest in being polite or greeting guests in a prompt manner. Overall, I didn't feel respected or appreciate coming here with my business. There was a variety of families and people grabbing drinks. We got 1/4 ribs and a caesar salad for a medium sized lunch. Ribs looked like they came from a fast food chain, however they were very tender. Interesting sauce. Caesar salad was great! Only thing I loved was meeting Gus, the restaurant dog. He is so lovely and friendly but left outside without food or water on a hot day with such a short leash...I wish they'd take care of him! read more
