Ellie’s Tap & Vine

Alot to say about this restaurant. We were offered, and were served, wine by the owner (Joy) before our waiter came to the table. After what seemed to be 15 mins I flagged him down and we got our orders in. Side note-No kids menu or kid friendly dishes so beware. Other side note-the restaurant was kind of smokey. The smoke from the cooking was not sucked up well by their range/hood/vent and the dining room smelled a little burned and some haze seemed to exist. My wife ordered the filet and I the “tomahawk” which was really short rib. My wife said she loved her steak, but I was confused with my dish. It was short rib tied around a bone. See pics for detail. As far as steak goes, nothing could be more different than a tomahawk and short rib. To be fair, the menu does say short rib but then

This is THE gem of the valley! The other spots are great! But if you want cozy, intimate, quiet and relaxing, tasty and fine dining, this is your place! The service is sincere wonderful and Joy the owner and chef are truly amazing! Make this your dining pleasure tonight! 🙏

What a sweet find! Everything from decor, delicious food and options, wine list, ambience, and views. This is a must to check out! The owner and chef made a special point to chat and serve our dinner. A homey, comfortable, and yummie dinner out! We highly recommend it. We had the halibut cooked to perfection and the roasted chicken, moist and flavorful. A delightful night out in every way possible way!

Wow! Great dinner. Best place we ate at while visiting Solvang/ santa Ynez. Atmosphere was a rustic romantic ambience. Food was all amazing. Chris, our waitress was phenomenal. Very attentive and charismatic. We will definitely come back. 5 stars for sure. Oh... and the chicken liver with dijon was sooooo good!

This place is so cozy and romantic! Love the vibe! I came here for the first time with my husband on our weekend get away at solvang and this place is exactly what we want. Service : Friendly and awesome! All of them even they are not my server and I just walked by,They are so polite. Food : We got an Artichoke Dip with bread and it’s my first time for Artichoke and I’m impress! It’s soooo yummy. My husband got a Pork Chop and It was really really really good! So flavorful with seasoning and the sauce.By the way,The mash that come with it was one of the most well seasoning mash potato We have ever had. I got a mussels in Asian style coconut milk broth.It was good! But I am Asian,So for my Asian test I think it could be a little less lime juice and add a little touch of salt or fish sauce o
