    Our favorite restaurant for nearly 15 years...before Sideways. Love the old school relish tray, artichokes, shantrill mushrooms (in season) steaks and lobster, oh, and the fries... All good!!

    Very good steak. Dry rub baby back pork rib was good (though I prefer wet style). Did the Pinot flight and preferred the Bien Nacido over the Highliner. Definitely worth a visit.

    The burger is "the yumminy" extra avocado, house cured bacon, mango ketchup, jalapeno cheddar bun, house ground Top Sirloin and New York.

    Bien Nacido is my favorite rendition of HP Pinot Noir. Ate the quail appetizer and was not disappointed!

    This is a must when in the Santa Ynez Valley. One of my friends, while sipping on pinot, claimed this to be the happiest place on Earth. He may be right.

    The Magic Dust is yummy - take some home. Steak and Highliner and bartenders are fabulous - rest of meal is so-so, but total experience is totally worth it!

    Sideways anyone? The burgers are INSANE! But you can only order them in the bar dining room! Ask for Jackie - she's hilarious!

    Designated drivers get free soda and an artichoke appetizer. The HP pinot noirs are really good, too...

    Miles (Paul Giamatti) & Jack (Thomas Haden Church) walk down here, where Maya (Virginia Madsen) waits tables, & where Miles recommends the "ostrich" steak.

    Rosé and bar burger are the best way to end a long day. The artichoke is a must too though.
