- RRobertoCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoFrom start to finish; AMAZING. Took my daughters and mom for Valentines. The hostess arranged for us to get the best table in the house. The food was excellent, not the normal, but an original interpretation of what food should taste like. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. Dessert was also very thought out. The house manager was also very involved in our experience. My family and I felt very much appreciated and most of all cared after. One of our best if not the best Valentines we have lived.More infoSY KitchenPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9
- MMarkSeattle / Eastern Washington •8 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI came here as a fan on the movie Sideways. My meal was excellent and the service was even better. I had filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. Lentil soup was superb! My server was Autumn and she was personable, professional, polite, and provided excellent service. The wine was excellent. I would highly recommend the Hitching Post II.More infoHitching Post IIPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Buellton•4.7
