Celebrating our nation's 250th birthday in beautiful Solvang!…read more 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!

Our favorite spot in Solvang. We come 3 times a year and this is always our dinner spot ( sometimes…read morewe'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.

We recently checked out the reviews for a breakfast spot in Solvang, and it is definitely a…read moremust-visit! On the morning we went, some of the staff had called out. Since we used to own and run a small business ourselves, we know exactly what that feels like. Despite being shorthanded, the owners were extremely professional and provided excellent service--you would have never known they were understaffed. We ordered the French Toast and the Crunchy French Toast, and both were perfect. The dishes featured delicious, buttery brioche served with cinnamon butter and syrup. We also loved their coffee cups so much that we bought one to take home! If you ever find yourself in Solvang, make it a point to go here for an amazing breakfast.

TLDR: Food is good, MUST ORDER AS TAKEOUT, hope the tips go directly to the chefs, sit outside if…read moreeating there. We got a Monte Cristo, Crab Cake Benedict, and the Flaky French Toast. Monte Cristo - Well balanced, perfect amount of sweet and savory. Raspberry jam on it IS A MUST. Crab Cake Benedict - Best hollandaise sauce in town, cooked pretty well, real crab flavor. Tots - Not only cooked really well, but also seasoned really good. Flaky French Toast - Cinnamon butter was good, french toast was french toast with corn flakes. Nothing special, nothing wonderful. Service - Why would you tip before you're actually served? Why would you have to wait in line to order food then to be seated? There is no need for the servers if they aren't checking up on you or giving you refills. The fact that I tipped before I got "service" is really upsetting due to the fact that there wasn't any. I don't know if we came in at a bad time, but we still got pretty mediocre service. Ambiance is really nice though, overall just a nice environment. Whatever system they have right now is mind boggling, please act like a normal restaurant.

I wanted to find a nice spot for dinner while in Solvang. Luckily we were able to make a same-day…read morereservation. We arrived a little bit early to our reservation, and even though the restaurant was only about 20% full, we waited for about 10 minutes for someone to check us in. We were seated at the high top tables. We started off with the Roasted Cauliflower with miso white bean puree, arugula, chimichurri, and pecorino panko crumbs. The dish comes with large florets of cauliflower, so we had to cut it up into smaller pieces. For my entree, I got the Local Miso Black Cod with spinach, sesame dressing, and miso butter. The fish was moist and flakey. I enjoyed it! I also tried the New Zealand Rack of Lamb that had asparagus ratatouille, crispy potatoes, and lamb jus. This dish was not bad, but the portion seemed a bit small for the price.

I really wanted to love this restaurant. I was excited to try this restaurant. Something missed…read moreduring my visit. We made reservations through Open Table. Our reservation was at 6:30 so the restaurant wasn't fully crowded. We were seated and it took 15+ minutes for someone to come to our table (we almost walked out). The restaurant is contemporary and sheik. We quickly placed our order for both appetizers and main dishes. We asked that the dishes come out as it was prepared and ready. Three dishes came out pretty quickly. We waited another 20 minutes for our fourth dish (miso cod) to come to the table. There were some major misses with the food: Hamachi appetizer. This raw fish dish was served at room temperature / borderline warm. It seemed like they served us fish that was sitting out on the counter all afternoon. Seemed rather unsafe to eat. Grade: C Chicken wings: 6 pieces of chicken wings. 3 prepared with a Korean inspired sauce. 3 prepared with a Japanese soy style. Grade B Uni Sushi. One Uni sea urchin, 4 pieces, served on a bed of rice. Side sauce. The Uni was fresh. The rice was plain / unseasoned. Hence the dish lacked flavor other than the ponzu sauce that was poured on it. $25 for 1 piece of sushi. Grade: B- Miso Black Cod: this dish was unique. It was more like a heavy soy glazed marinated fish. The marinade wasn't what we were expecting but sufficed. It was served on a bed of blanched spinach. Grade: B Service was off. Our main waitress was scarce throughout our meal. However the backup staff (beverages / water refills, changing plates) were outstanding. The manager on shift that night was really nice. We paid our bill and you could tell there was tension in the air. Maybe this was an off night, but I'm not sure if I'd rush back to this restaurant. I really hope that this restaurant does well. It seems like it has a lot to offer the community.
