Restaurants near Santa Ynez Valley Marriott

This charming eatery beautifully blends the warmth of Italian hospitality with the vibrant flavors of authentic cuisine. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend dishes and ensure you have a delightful dining experience. The menu is a mix of classic Italian dishes, and the pizza is definitely the star of the show. Their wood-fired pizzas are crafted with fresh ingredients and a perfect crispy crust. In addition to their pizzas, the pasta dishes are equally impressive. The gnocchi is light and fluffy, served in a savory sauce that complements the dish perfectly. Don't forget to save room for dessert—the tiramisu is divine. Highly recommended!

Made reservation ahead for my Son’s Birthday. Greeted and seated quickly. Menus and drinks offered. Ordered appetizers clams, which were incredible. Delicious broth and rustic bread to dip. The Pork belly salad was delicious also. Entrees Rib Eye, Salmon and Scallops and steak medallions were all cooked perfectly and all great. The veggies and mashed potatoes were tasty. Dessert of Crème Brûlée and Birthday chocolate cake with ice cream and chocolate edible Happy Birthday. Tried a couple of different beverages from the special alcohol menu. All excellent. Service was excellent. Marcos as our waiter and all other staff we interacted with were attentive and friendly.

We had a party of 6 and shared several starters in addition to our main courses, a couple deserts and some cocktails. The service was great. Every dish was beautifully presented, unique and absolutely delicious! This was my second time eating here (live locally), but it was a first for everyone else and they all raved about their meal. Highly recommend the Gathering Table!

I've been eating at the Buellton Hitching Post for over 30 years and can't remember a bad meal, plate, or drink. This is a special restaurant that never lost its soul. It's not about plating, or stuffiness or a 50 page wine list. JJ the wine buyer puts together a great list that goes from great local BTG specials to a cellar that sports 1962 Lafite. Bring your friends and trust the 'Post' to exceed your expectations. Don't sleep on the duck, the mushrooms, the pork chop, and of course the steaks are fire--my choice is the filet.

The food here was really good. The music was amazing… they had a Vicente playlist going. I noticed they had a ton of bottles of Fortaleza tequila on the wall. If you’re looking for that tequila… this is the place to go.
