We had spent some time in SLO - and unfortunately none of the beers in that city tasted right. Service here was great. They have plenty of seating outside, some inside on the first floor and the second floor had space as well. Bathrooms were clean. We ordered kids pizza, fries, tri tip sandwich and onion rings. All the food was delicious with the exception of the tri tip meat itself. That was close to moist jerky. As bizarre as it seemed to me to put pico on it, the side of pico they served it with, saved the whole sandwich . Glad we stopped by. The family had a good time.

The food was very much to die for and at pretty reasonable prices, our meal came out to be ~$80. Lots of cute pictures done by one local artist for sale and TONS of cookbooks lining the self service area. Extensive menu. We got the: Escargo and Bread - Absolutely amazing, buttery, decadent. Nothing to complain about here. Mussels and Frites - Delicious and perfect for two servings. We took the sauce home and made a pasta with it. Fries are great. Brussel Sprouts - My least favorite as it was undercooked and not as crispy as I would've liked but still delicious. Only thing I would knock on is the bathroom. The toilet seat is quite industrial.

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.

Our server Hally greeted us the moment we sat down. I asked her for an appetizer recommendation and she immediately named three with no hesitation, no hedging, no "everything's good here." We landed on the calamari and the Truffle Gnocchi, and that gnocchi was the surprise of the night. Not a lot of places do gnocchi at all, much less one built this well. Spinach dumplings, grilled artichokes, and a black truffle cream sauce that stayed balanced instead of heavy. Exquisite is not close. We both ordered the filet mignon. Perfectly cooked and tender enough to cut with a fork. Hally checked on us the whole night without ever being pushy or hovering. She was warm, welcoming, and completely professional; the kind of server who clearly takes pride in her work and is a real asset to the ownership team. This meal alone would bring us back to Solvang.

I'd say they were about average for a tavern: enjoyable, but nothing that particularly stood out. The house artichoke dip, however, was amazing and easily the highlight of the food. This is definitely a must-get if you visit. I would absolutely order it again. The only real downside is that the place is a tad bit small, so seating can become pretty limited when it gets busy. Overall, Fitzpatrick's is a cool spot to grab some drinks, relax, and hang out. Come for the laid-back atmosphere, but definitely don't leave without trying the house artichoke dip!

(If you sit in the middle of the easternmost dining room you'll have a great view of it.) I've had numerous steaks, their pork chops, lamb, and quail and it's all delicious. Right now I am absolutely in love with their duck. It's really good. The wines here are great as well. They make their own wines, and specialize in Pinot (their Big Circle Syrah is pretty good too). They really care about their wines and it's very apparent in their taste. The service here is excellent as well. This is an amazing place that we make sure to visit every time we're in town.

Like many people I heard about it because of the movie Sideways with Paul Giamatti. Despite its notoriety, this place feels authentic and hasn't been over taken by the fame monster...not in the slightest. They just offer great food, great service, and great wines. For all the hype, this place was better than I expected. The patio views out back were sweeping, and I highly recommend coming here when it's still light out (lunch or an early dinner) so you can see what I mean. The views were better than the scenery at some of the winery vineyards in the area. For lunch, I took the recommendation of the worker and got "the best thing on the menu" which was their steak and caramelized onion sandwich. I dont normally order this kind of thing but she convinced me of it and I am glad I listened to her. It was juicy and savory, and the steak was so nicely seasoned. Whenever I've gotten a steak or beef sandwich before usually you have to dip it in au jus bc it's on the dry side, but this was not the case at all here. There was no aioli or sauce to drown out or hide the quality of the meat. It was perfection. We also tried the grilled chicken sandwich which also was beautifully seasoned and slightly blackened and had the juiciest tomato with it. Overall: a very simple lunch but done extremely well, with the best outdoor views in town. As a bonus, birders may appreciate seeing the occasional hawk high overhead or the abundant Blue Jays on the patio. Ample parking on sight.

I finally made it back and again, it did not disappoint! The food here is outstanding and so flavorful. This time I tried the seasonal pasta of the day. A roasted red pepper pasta with shrimp. The pasta was delicious and I especially enjoyed the roasted red pepper sauce. Made with fresh veggies like peppers and zucchini and the shrimp were nice and plump. I like how they didn't skimp on the number of shrimp in this dish. I also ordered their focaccia and dipping oil. The bread was nice and crusty on the outside yet maintained its softness on the inside. The dipping oil was amazing!! Our waiter said it's liquid gold and it truly is. It had a lemony vinegary taste to it and I absolutely loved it!! I could easily drink it because it's so good. A must order to start with. My friends ordered the cafe turkey sandwich. They both said it was tasty and it's also served on freshly baked focaccia bread. I tried the cucumber gazpacho my friend ordered and it was very refreshing. It reminded me of a cucumber Agua Fresca, but in a soup form. Just a little different though. On my previous visit, I've tried the burrata, pizza, little gem salad, and roasted radishes. Everything was delicious and flavorful. I haven't had anything bad here. Totally worth the visit if you're in the area. Customer service is friendly and they make you feel right at home here. I can't wait to come back already. I recommend you make a reservation if you want seating outside or in the front of the restaurant. We didn't have reservations and got seated in the back area. It was still nice, but would have preferred the front or outside. So plan ahead! Overall, my favorite restaurant in Los Olivos.

It was a beautiful, hot and sunny day, so we decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather. We ordered the shrimp taco plate, chicken taco salad, classic burrito, and some additional shrimp tacos that unfortunately didn't make it into the pictures. We were welcomed with fresh chips and had the opportunity to try as many salads as we wanted from the salsa bar. I also enjoyed a nice, cold Corona while we waited for our food, which was perfect on such a warm day. When our food arrived, everything was fresh, hot, and cooked to perfection. Everyone in my family enjoyed their meals, and there were absolutely no complaints. We were all full and satisfied when we finished, but instead of rushing out, we simply sat around and enjoyed the moment together. That's what makes a family meal even better. Our server, Ms. Gutierrez, provided excellent service. She was friendly, attentive, and consistently checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was very busy, but the service remained great. The restaurant was also clean, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. And the prices were very reasonable! Our bill for four people, including food and drinks, came in at under $85, which I thought was a great value. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Rudy's. Great food, great service, reasonable prices, and most importantly, a great time with my family. I would definitely come back again the next time we're in Buellton. Thank you, Rudy's, for a great experience! We'll be back!
