   I love that they weren’t blaring loud music and we could actually talk. The service was very professional. Our dishes were coursed out in a timely manner. The yellow beet salad was absolutely delicious as was the wild mushroom, pappardelle. Warm cozy vibe in keeping with Santa’s Ynez. We come here every time we’re in the area.

   Our meal and service were impeccable! From the very moment we walked in with our two little kids, the maitre’d made us feel so welcome. He also made sure the kitchen accommodated my little one with a severe food allergy. The food came out quickly and every bite was exceptional. The service was so friendly from our waiter to our busser and everyone in between. I was very impressed and am excited to return again and again. Thank you!

   Our first time here and we loved it! The service was excellent, and the food/cocktails were amazing. Can’t wait to return on our next trip to the area.

   Our evening at SY Kitchen was just magnificent. We were celebrating our 36 year wedding anniversary and both John, the host, and Ernesto were lovely. It was a perfect evening and the food was beyond delicious. Thank you so much for making the day memorable.

   We had an incredible lunch and will no doubt return. It is definitely worth the 60 mile drive from San Luis Obispo. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambience. Prices are more than fair, and staff is very accommodating.

   We make it a point to visit SY Kitchen every time we’re in Santa Ynez. While most of our experiences have been enjoyable, our most recent visit on November 19th—coincidentally our 42nd anniversary—was truly exceptional. I savored one of the best vodka martinis I’ve had in years at the bar. The service was outstanding, with our server demonstrating professionalism, attentiveness, and a friendly demeanor. Each course was timed perfectly, enhancing the overall dining experience. The food was exemplary, and the manager went above and beyond by checking on us three times to ensure everything met our expectations. It does leave us wondering, though—why is Nella Kitchen, under the same ownership, such a stark contrast in quality and service?
