Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Cafe - Californian restaurant in Los Olivos - 2879 Grand Ave, USA

Fantastic food and wine selection. While Open Table said they were booked we were able to get seated right away. Full service at the bar as well which had a few seats open. Not super kid friendly but do-able if your kids are quiet and sit still. Lovely outdoor patio which is shaded.

It's been a few years but the food looked amazing, but the flavors and experience fell flat. The burger was the best, the pasta and sauce was ok, but the flavors were too extreme and opposite and wish there was more seasoning to bring the dish together. The creme brulee was a HUGE disappointment. The creme was runny watery and not firm. Then the brulee was stuffy and Taffy like, not hard at all and couldn't be shattered. Huge fail for us today when we remember it being good years ago.

Great place as usual. Havent been in a long time, and they were as good as ever. All the dishes were fresh, tasty, well presented, large portions, and just perfect. Took only a few pic, the best one of the Gnocchi, which was simply delicious.

I just have to say that the attention to detail made for an awful experience. First of all our waiter missed one of our guests orders, which needed to be placed after we finished our salad. Our salad and soup wasn’t served prior to our meal, it was served with our main meal! We didn’t like this! My meal came out with my guests salad and soup. There was a shift change. When we ordered dessert and coffee, coffee was served way before our dessert was served, we ate our dessert after we had our coffee, not along with the coffee! No Birthday recognition! (Which I told the hostess ahead of time, and even had to point out where we were sitting) we are locals and will “NOT” return. Server’s need more training! Very unhappy experience for the price!

Nice place, very busy on a Friday afternoon so we were seated at the bar. Unfortunately our Corsica pizza was undercooked and soggy, swimming in cold chicken sausage juice. Second attempt was good but pizza was bland. I asked for red pepper, which came in fast food packets. Salad was very good and they have an excellent wine selection as you would expect. I've had good meals here before but this was not one of them.

Wonderful! The food, service, ambience were all stellar and the wine was also excellent. So good, that we’re going back for seconds.

Traveled through this nice little town and decided to try this cafe for dinner. The food was amazing. I ordered the hanger steak and the rest of my party ordered pasta, salmon and chicken breast. The food was fresh and delicious. The tomatoes were in season so the flavor was out of this world. The staff works hard and even though we waited some time for our food it was worth the wait.

A laid back small town restaurant. Food and service was outstanding. A good way to escape from the chaotic world of big city life. Everyone there from employees to customers were very classy and well mannered. This is a regular stop for us now any time we visit the Santa Ynez Valley.
