Celebrating our nation's 250th birthday in beautiful Solvang! We ate at Craft House four times during our visit--and for good reason! It is, in our opinion, the best restaurant in Solvang. Every meal was exceptional, and the service was consistently outstanding. From the moment we walked in, Daniel welcomed us with a warm smile that made us feel right at home. At our first breakfast, Taylor provided friendly, attentive service that set the tone for the rest of our visits. That evening, we enjoyed the cauliflower appetizer, beet & burrata salad, short rib grilled cheese and black tie burger. Every dish was absolutely delicious. On our second breakfast visit, Sandra took wonderful care of us. She is such an asset to Craft House--knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely welcoming. Sophia, who brought out our food several times, always greeted us with the biggest smile. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Lorenzo and Nora were also fantastic servers who helped make every visit memorable. Over four visits, we sampled several different entrées and breakfasts. The avocado toast and chorizo quesadilla were definite standouts, and every meal exceeded our expectations. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Craft House team for your incredible hospitality, exceptional service, and outstanding food. We can't wait to return! read more

Our favorite spot in Solvang. We come 3 times a year and this is always our dinner spot ( sometimes we'll come twice if we're there longer). Everything we have ordered has been amazing. Some favorites are the short rib grilled cheese, Korean filet salad, pizza, pasta, Brussel sprouts,, cocktails, I mean everything is so good! Live music outside on weekends is a vibe. Service is always great! Whenever we bring family or friends here they all have loved it! I usually make a reservation for a Saturday night but there's always some open tables available. read more

Brunch was outstanding! Service from the front door to a hearty thank you as we left, was as it should be and then some. Food was excellent, my bacon was perfect. Wifey's eggs Benedict twist had her singing. Can't wait to visit Solvang again, so we can visit once more!!! read more

Service and food were outstanding. The appetizer wings are breaded to order - which is a nice change and cooked perfectly without breading. They are not too spicey but still flavorful. The beet carpaccio with salmon was a wonderful combination of flavor and texture. The ambiance was lovely and the restaurant is as immaculately kept as the hotel. I'll be back! read more

Oh my stars, this review is so overdue it's practically ancient. But how could I delay sharing the enchantment of this Solvang treasure? From the moment I stepped inside, every detail had my attention. Despite the cold temps, we asked to be seated on the outdoor patio(cozy firepit table and heat lamps of course). Then when the live music began, I was in the zone. And this was even before the dinner people. Then my cheeseburger arrived and it was pure delight, cooked to perfection. Hubby ordered the Short Rib Grilled Cheese with tomato soup. Right up his alley and did not disappoint. He may have licked the plate. Just when we were thinking the evening couldn't possibly get any better, Kaitlyn Chui started singing and playing guitar beautifully with her Father. It was one of those nights you just don't forget. read more

After a couple hours of shopping and walking around, everyone was hungry! We had such a great experience at our last visit that we had to return to Craft House with our daughter. The last time we dined it was too cold to sit outside. We were hoping to sit outside this time, but the wind suddenly kicked up, so inside we went (again). We were seated by the front window which at least gave us some sun. :) We ordered two favorite items -- The Spicy Pig and Prime Rib Dip. Our daughter chose the Truffle Gnocchi which was a standout with that fantastic sauce, pillowy spinach gnocchi, artichokes and garnish of fried spinach. We decided to try the Burrata & Greens to share. Everything was delicious -- no complaints! Fresh, flavorful and so, so satisfying! Ryan was our wonderful server -- perfectly friendly and attentive. It was another wonderful experience. We look forward to next time! read more

Super cute spot, we sat outside with a fire pit table. It took a while to order, we had to flag someone down to let them know we hadn't seen our waiter and ppl seated after us had already got drinks. We got the ceviche, Cesar salad, potato taquitos, burger and the truffle gnocchi. Everything was great besides the truffle gnocchi. It was a let down, the texture was weird and it was pretty bland. All in all everything was pretty good and food came out fast. I think our waiter knew, we had to ask for things that were obvious like needing more water and the check. read more

Shared an entree with my mom for a late dinner as we weren't too hungry. We got the Prime NY strip which is served with duck fat potatoes. It far exceeded my expectations! The steak was super juicy with a delicious limey chimichurri sauce. The only thing is, we ordered medium rare and I'd say it was closer to a medium, but the fact that it was still juicy made it not a big deal. The duck fat potatoes on the side were an absolute treat. Crispy and flavorful on the outside with a tender interior. Would order the potatoes alone. Despite the food being good, I think it's extremely overpriced at $48. Quality and portion wise the entree reflects a maximum of $35 I would say .The service was excellent! Kind host that helped open our door and picked a disability friendly table. Our server was also super nice. read more

I had just run a half marathon earlier in the morning. After a post race nap, I woke up just in time for the tail-end of brunch which ended at 3 pm. Since it was just me, I ended up sitting at the bar. The place was pretty empty except for a couple and a bridal party getting some drinks. I ordered some coffee and their Craft House Breakfast. Unfortunately, the coffee was tepid at best. Thankfully, the breakfast was good. The entire staff, including the bartender that took care of me, were all very nice and friendly. read more

Crafthouse was super cozy and directly next to our hotel. We thought it was a bit expensive for what it was, but the portions were pretty big! We definitely had leftovers. We went about an hour before closing and it was pretty empty. My only complaint would be this absurdly large piece of broccolini that was not chopped up and very hard to eat haha but it was still good read more

We tried this place while visiting Solvang. I had Truffle Gnocchi and ordered additional chicken to get my protein. It was delicious. My friend ordered salmon which was also tasty. We also had calamari and it was really fresh and delicious. Service was great. Halley was amazing! She got everything right and suggested best options for our needs.

We're locals and have frequented the Craft House quite often. The service and the food is quite good. Today is our 49th anniversary so I thought let's go here for a little romantic dinner. Boy was I wrong! We decided to sit inside, you know, it's a little more intimate. We were seated at a 2 top just across from the bar, I thought this would be nice. Oh no, the two female bartenders started yelling bacK and forth and then telling jokes and laughing/cackling - this continued through our entire dinner. I've never been so disappointed. A supposed lovely evening totally ruined. It will be a long time, if ever, before we return, and if/when we do, we sure won't be sitting inside! read more

Dinner was excellent, the ambience and live music was wonderful. Our server was so kind and attentive. I will absolutely dine here again on my next trip to Solvang! read more

Dinner tonight was at The Craft House Day one of my husband's BDAY trip. I have to say this is a pretty cool place. ****MAKE RESERVATIONS**** As you walk towards the entrance, you are serenaded by a live band (with an awesome volcalist) as the heaters warm your way. The entrance opens up to a large atrium with a chandelier as a centerpiece. Our server was Christian. He was a lil aloof but very professional ...at first, but once we joked with him, an awesome personality popped out and gave us amazing professional service. The poor guy was being pulled in a million directions! The restaurant is modern but with an upper class old school whiskey lounge feel. What did we order? Rating 5 is the best! Sea Bass Definitely a 4...portion was small and the fennel salad overpowered the taste. The sea Bass was cooked perfectly and buttery. The potatoes were perfectly paired. Prime Rib 4!! They definitely know how to season it, and it was actually medium rare. The only reason it didn't get a 5 was a big portion (about 1/3) of it was just fat. The broccolini was overcooked and bland. The mashed potatoes were yummy. 3. Crab cakes 4 definitely not the usual deep fried. They seemed baked and had a ceviche taste to it. Very different and refreshing. Just didn't pair well with the prime rib. Asparagus Yummy 5. Perfectly seasoned and crispy cooked! Loved it! Valley Fog 5!! It came out smoking looking like a fog!! So awesome! The flavor was strong and yummy. They do not skimp on the adult soda part. Hubby's BDAY treat were the beignets! 5!!! These were amazeballs! Nice and warm. Light and crispy on the outside (covered in powdered sugar) and oozing with the right amount of melted chocolate! Perfectly made!!! This is definitely a come back spot and worth the splurge! The bill with tax was about $200. Yes!!! Budget!!!Worth it!! read more

The Central Coast Corvette Club likes to go to The PCPA Theater in Solvang each year and have dinner somewhere before the show and for the last couple years as the group gets larger and less restaurants in the the area are able to accommodate us, The Craft House has never said no. 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. read more

Craft House at Corque has the potential to be a 5-star restaurant, but customer service really needs improvement. Our party of 4 was seated and waited about 20-30 minutes without a waiter in sight. Meanwhile, a table seated after us had already placed their order and received drinks. I eventually had to flag someone down, and they mentioned they would get our waiter. They later returned and took our order themselves, saying our waiter, Christian, would be with us shortly. To Christian's credit, he did apologize when he arrived, but throughout dinner the service continued to fall short. He would stop by asking if everything was okay while our cups sat empty, then walk away without offering refills. We had to specifically ask for water and drink refills. At the end of the meal, we also weren't asked about dessert or whether we needed anything else. We had to ask for the check and he pulled out of his vest. That said, the restaurant itself has a great atmosphere. The outdoor seating is beautiful, especially the built-in fireplaces at the tables, which we really enjoyed. The live music also added a nice touch to the evening. Food-wise, the appetizers were the highlight. The ceviche and flautas were excellent. I ordered the Black Tie Burger, which was just okay, but the fries were delicious. read more

Loved everything about this place! Amazing service, aesthetic, and vibe. I really wanted to dine outdoors because of the beautiful fire pits at each table, but it was a little too chilly for me to be outside. Our server was super attentive and very friendly. The Unicorn Paloma was delicious and pretty. The lava salt rim and unique blue ice cube..such a fun fruity cocktail! Not too sweet and had the right amount of sour. It was smooth and well balanced. Kudos to the bartender! We shared the Black Tie Burger and Spicy Pig Pizza. The burger was juicy and paired well with the bourbon bacon jam and black truffle aioli. But it doesn't stop there. They add aged white cheddar for depth of flavor and fresh arugula for a peppery bite! This is my kind of gourmet burger. The fries were wonderful too! Gosh even the ranch dressing! Tasty! I like my fries on the thicker side and these definitely hit the spot. Very generous portions. The Spicy Pig Pizza was outstanding. The crust was thin but not too thin- it had a sweetness to it which I enjoyed. The Nduja sausage provided a little heat from the fiery red Calabrian chili peppers. Then you have the classic bacon and pepperoni topped with burrata (yum!) with a drizzle of hot honey...chef's kiss! The next time I'm in Solvang, I'll make sure to try the Short Rib Grilled Cheese. It sounds divine! This was a very memorable dining experience. I'm happy I chose this restaurant for dinner! read more

Magical night ending with a great Happy Hour. The holidays are always special in Solvang but the price of a dinner is not. We were looking for a nice spot just to have a snack and a cocktail then head home for dinner. We choose to stop at the inviting Craft House. We sat at the lovely bar and ordered from the Happy Hour menu. They had an Old Fashion for $10!!!! My husband had a local beer. We ordered 3 appetizers: the potato taquitos, the Brussels sprouts and the cauliflower. Now that sounds boring but, oh no they weren't. Each with their own special dressings. And plenty of it. Yum!! FYI: There were two other apps with meat. Bottom line our bill was around $50 that included drinks and enough for a dinner. The bar area was cozy and decorated for the holidays. The service was perfect. read more

Food was good. Appreciated the reservation aspect, and they were busy. I am trying to be understanding of that. Made it seem like I was inconveniencing them with the reservation "oh we can squeeze you in" ....ummmm thanks? Kids Mac n cheese was beyond bland. Kid spit it out. Ordered medium filet (I know but sharing with my son.) but still came out rare. Flavor was good, truffle butter good compliment but asparagus was cold. Again very busy, but our waiter just wasn't haven't a good day. Seemed very annoyed and rushed. Which he probably was, but still very slow service. Had to ask twice to get more water and Diet Coke. read more

Craft house it's a very nice place! My favorite part was Ron, our server, he was so nice and got good recommendations. The place is very nice and clean. They don't have a huge selection of food, I ordered the Brussels sprouts and the friend rice. Both were very tasty but I felt like there was something missing. The cocktails were awesome! I ordered the sober pineapple drink which was awesome! A little pricey, but not too bad! read more

Today I came to this place with a reservation at 6:30 PM and the hostess tells me that the table is ready but I can't sit in it because my reservation is at 6:30 so I decided to go out with my family to walk around since we showed up one hour early prior to the reservation came back at 6:05 PM and asked if our table is ready and can we just sit down and a hostess replies that our reserve time is at 6:30 PM and that's the only time we can sit down so I asked is there even a table ready for us already and she replies yes it's already ready but your reservation time is at 6:30 PM and that's the only time we can sit you down. Besides being sat down at the table once we got the table, they gave our kids coloring pages, but nothing to color with so we waited for the server and asked them if they even have anything for the kids to color with and they said they have color pencils, but they ran out so we waited and received three coloring pencils of different colors, not sharpened and I had to go up to the front where the hostess was and ask them about sharpening the pencils. They helped me try to sharpen it, but the sharpener didn't work. So the lady started jamming the pencil to the sharpener because she was frustrated and stressed out because I could sit there and stare at her. We ordered the food. The server was really good at his job giving us the recommendations and I want the food came out. The portions just felt like it was really overpriced and we've pretty much felt like we can get this at Los Angeles like at an Applebee's. Don't let my pictures for you guys. I promise you the food is the same quality as Applebee's, but double the price so definitely not going to come back here again due to the hostess and the quality of the food plus the portions. read more

We stumbled upon this place during our solvang wine tasting tour. Glad we got here on time because they close lunch at 3pm to switch out for dinner mode. Great local wine options.

First, if you don't want a lot of noise, ask to be seated in the back, The service was the best ever: not too in-your-face, but enough to make sure you had everything.

Words are not enough to express how wonderful the food and drinks are at this restaurant. My family was visiting for three days and we ate two of our three dinners there because the food was outstanding. The presentation was gorgeous. The chicken was the juiciest I have ever had in my life, and my sister-in-law had salmon that she said was also the best she's ever had clearly the chef takes pride and what he is preparing and sending out to people. My niece said her pizza was amazing and my great niece absolutely loved her chicken fingers and fries. Both waiters were attentive and friendly and treated my four-year-old great niece like a queen. My only regret is that I live 3000 miles away from this wonderful restaurant. read more

Breakfast menu has not disappointed. I have had the breakfast sandwich, the chorizo quesadilla, the beignets and the potatoes. The breakfast sandwich is among the best I have ever eaten but my favorite has been the chorizo quesadilla. Phenomenal! Spicy and flavorful and the avocado crema goes well to complement the ingredients in the quesadilla. The service was excellent and the restaurant is very close to the center of Solvang (just a block over), making it an easy choice when visiting. I only have one thing that I found lacking and that was the chocolate sauce for the beignets. Just my taste buds. I am sure many people would enjoy it along with the other two options. read more
