This is a review for the window to order small to-go things rather than the restaurant: If you see…read morelots of people walking around with little boats of aebleskiver, it's probably from here--or at least that where I tracked the source down to in Solvang when I was there! I hadn't tried aebleskiver before so I have no point of comparison, but it was a little ball of dough with jam and powdered sugar. I ordered 3 which was plenty to split with my boyfriend just to get a taste of it. It's personally not my favorite since I think I would prefer a slightly crispier fried dough ball but I'm guessing that would be less authentic. I was glad to try it out so easily! The service was quick. It would have been nice if there were some seating outside--there were 2 benches, but it was pretty limited. It made a lot of sense why everyone was walking around with it!

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.

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.

Not only is the Solvang Bakery so yummy and pretty it is also situated in a very cute location too. The Solvang Bakery was a top choice for me given all the bakeries here in Solvang not only for the quality, but the price points. Staff is so sweet too! Jasmin could not have been lovelier. She knows the bakery so well and took the time to tell me about all the different baked items before helping me decide on the Armando. I was so impressed by how much Jasmin knew. The Armando is this delicious ring of apple cake with raisins and walnuts, with just the right touch of honey sweetness. SO good! I also love that they have gluten-free options. Lastly, if you need to get a gift, super cute merch. Thank you! Support local.

I still remember buying butter cookies at the Copenhagen airport, and I've been craving that same style ever since, especially because there aren't many places near me in my area that sell them freshly made. I randomly came across Danish Village Bakery and found a tub of assorted cookies for around $20. The lady working inside helped me right away and answered my questions about which items were the most popular and whether the cookies were freshly made. She was friendly and made the visit quick and easy. You can buy Danish cookies at regular grocery stores, but these tasted completely different. They were softer, fresher, and had that rich, buttery flavor that packaged cookies are usually missing. They were even better than the airport cookies I remembered! The bakery itself had a cute, homey, old-fashioned atmosphere, and there was plenty of free parking nearby. I'm really glad I stopped in because the cookies ended up being one of my favorite treats from the trip. I would definitely return for another tub the next time I'm in town.

​I walked into Copenhagen Sausage Garden in Solvang totally expecting a standard German beer garden…read moresetup. Total miscalibration on my part. ​Turns out, it's distinctly Danish--and yeah, that actually matters. They serve traditional Danish Rød Pølse alongside a bunch of family-recipe sausages, so you can throw your standard German bratwurst baseline right out the window. The flavor profiles are completely different. ​If you're going, getting the sausage sampler is the only correct experimental design. You get multiple formulations in the same operating environment for immediate side-by-side comparison. It lets you actually isolate the variables--salt, smoke, spice, fat content, casing snap. Some are super mild, others pack a huge punch. And that massive condiment station? It basically acts as a post-processing module. You're taking the same sausage substrate, altering the surface chemistry with mustard and kraut, and getting a totally different output. ​But honestly, the best part of this place requires zero scientific analysis: cold beer, hot meat, big bites, repeat. Grabbing a giant pint from their huge tap list and claiming a spot at the outdoor communal tables is just a damn good time. ​Oh, and definitely integrate the giant pretzel into your system. Salt + starch + beer is a mature technology that's already survived centuries of European process validation. No further optimization required--don't mess with perfection. ​Don't come here looking for fine dining; evaluating it that way completely misses the point. Come for the sampler, the massive pretzels, and the laid-back Solvang patio vibes. As a platform for eating sausage, drinking beer, and hanging out, it operates at peak efficiency. ​Dr. C Field Process Validation Sausage Formulation: Multi-Variable Beer Selection: High Throughput German Reference Standard: Rejected Operator Satisfaction: Above Specification

Unfortunately they…read moreonly had one danish style sausage, but all of the options were labeled with their country of origin which was nice. The food came out quickly and they had so many self serve sauces which was awesome. We tried almost all of them and each had our favorites. We also had some draft seltzers which were really good. You order your food at a register and then sit down at large outdoor picnic tables and they bring you your food as it's available. There are some shady spots at the tables but also some were directly in the sun so just be prepared for that. Overall the sausage was good and so was the service, we would go back again!

Kudos to the restaurant for addressing many of the issues we experienced previously! We started with the CAESAR SALAD, added chicken, and asked for it extra chopped. It was excellent. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and we especially enjoyed the added sunflower seeds, which gave the salad a nice texture and something a little different. The PARKER HOUSE ROLLS were fine, although we still feel that for $11, the serving should include more than two rolls. The PAN SEARED SCALLOPS were absolutely delicious--nicely seared and served with a corn salad/pudding that complemented them beautifully. The STUFFED BAKED POTATO was another standout. It was almost like a unique take on a twice-baked potato, with a wonderfully crispy skin and a generous amount of bacon and baked cheddar. Sour cream and butter were served alongside it. We've never had a baked potato prepared quite this way, and it was absolutely delicious. The STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING was the finishing touch. It was good, although we would have loved a little more caramel sauce. We also really enjoyed the ambiance. We sat in a comfortable booth with a nice view toward the front of the restaurant. Our booth had some interesting artwork with an old-man-of-the-sea feel, along with fishing lures and other nautical touches. The darker, moodier feel of the booth and the warm lighting gave the space a lot of character and made it a really comfortable place to settle in for dinner. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was fantastic, and we were very impressed by how much our experience improved from our first visit. It's always nice to see a restaurant respond to issues and get things right. We will definitely be back!
