Swiss -mushroom burger with fries!
Clayton T.

The same great staff that was working at the Village Coffee Stop can now be found at Dave's Place, but with a twist! All, if not more, of the same great food for breakfast, lunch and dinner that was available at the "STOP" is being served at Dave's, but there is now also a full-service bar. Want a beer, bloody Mary, mimosa with your meal? Dave's has got you covered. There is plenty of seating is available, whether in the restaurant, with tables/booths (cozy) with a view of the lovely Purisima Hills, or stools in the bar. The staff is friendly, attentive & prompt and Dave's continues to be a reliable go to for food, drink & comfort.

Tri tip Lunch Plate
Sarah H.

Dave's Place is in my top 3 favorite restaurants in Lompoc! The artichoke they have available after 4pm is a MUST! I'm not going to lie, I've ordered it 7 times since Valley Inn opened and sadly 3 of those times they were not edible :( they were so undercooked that I wasn't able to even eat them because it wasn't coming off the stems. Sadly those 3 times happened through DoorDash so it's not like I could ask for it to be remade, I just had to deal with DoorDash customer service. However, when they ARE edible it's so delectable that I chance it every time. The experiences I had with DoorDash (4 times) the food was cold every time. The 3 times I sat at a table in person, it was a phenomenal time. Because of that, they earned 4 stars. But avoid DoorDashing. In person, the food is fresh and delicious, full of flavor, and I've never had to wait for a table. The service was good. For lunch, you need to try the tri tip plate! I absolutely loved it. My spouse tried the club sandwich and loved it! The thick sliced turkey made the club sandwich stand out for quality and flavor versus other places that use thin sliced deli meat. I LOVE the patio seating, and that you get the choice to sit out front or in the back. I've sat at both and enjoyed both patios. Overall, I suggest eating in person (avoiding online delivery services) and you will have a pleasant experience!

Corn
Paige H.

Finally got to try Dave's Place, and I think it was absolutely delicious. It was a beautiful day, so we sat on the patio, and we ordered some artichokes for appetizers. We must have caught them on a good day because the artichoke ended up being one of the tastiest artichokes I've ever had, and the aioli was fantastic. The corn was good and the steak skewers were even better. Our service was great and we had fun touring the grounds once we finished eating. Such a great place.

Outside

This place has got it going on! I came in on a Wednesday and it was lively! It's a beautiful set up with a great view of the outdoors. The server was friendly and attentive, she made sure we had everything we needed throughout dinner. I ordered the trip tip dinner and my grandma got the steak skewers. The trip tip was absolutely delicious and the presentation was lovely! I will be recommending this restaurant to my friends and family! Way to go Dave!

The gorgeous sunset on the outside patio

We enjoyed our first time trying out Dave's Place inside the newly renovated Village Inn. It was a soft opening that we attended and even though it was the first day this spot was opened, the staff was attentive, the drinks were well balanced and flavorful and our dishes were cooked perfectly. We can't wait to try Dave's Place again and stay at this beautiful boutique hotel someday. The ambiance and views are absolutely breathtaking!

Fried zucchini
Max J.

The food here deserves a standing ovation -- seriously, every bite was next-level delicious. From the crispy fried zucchini with that INCREDIBLE dipping sauce to the flavorful sandwiches, perfectly seasoned fries, and rich, gooey chocolate cake... Dave is clearly a master in the kitchen. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food, and it shows. The aesthetics of the place are beautiful and welcoming -- it has that cozy yet elevated vibe that makes you want to linger. That said, the service didn't quite match the quality of the food. It wasn't terrible, but considering it wasn't super busy, it could've been more attentive and friendly. Still, the food and atmosphere won me over, and I'll definitely be back for more. Hoping for a stronger service experience next time, because everything else was top-tier.

Fish and chips with coleslaw and fries
Kianna S.

We came to Dave's place about a week after the soft opening. My husband and I were excited to try this place out and it was a nice place to celebrate our anniversary. It's a semiformal restaurant with black tablecloths, and cloth napkins. We appreciated the decor, many photos displayed of Lompoc valley. We loved the ambiance. The lighting, the palm trees and pool outside, and the glow coming in from the lounge. The red booths and unique lighting fixtures give a vintage feel. Food was good. My husband enjoyed the new York sirloin. I enjoyed the fish n chips. Pricing seemed a little high in my opinion. My husband loves red meat so the BBQ options were great. I don't eat red meat myself thus my options were limited. It would be nice to see more poultry options in the future. We plan to come back again with other family. Grateful to have this restaurant in the Village!

See all
