Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Cafe

I loved this restaurant. The atmosphere and the menu were nice. Great variety on the menu including vegan options.

We were seated and waited for 30 minutes and were not even looked at. Everyone who was seated after us was at least given water. I understand a staffing shortage but to completely ignore patrons who were about to purchase a large dinner is unacceptable, especially considering that people seated after us were served.

Really nice place. Had olives, turkey sandwich and grilled wedge...amazingly good.

Have been going for over 10 years. Consistent food and service

Fresh and delicious. It takes me about an hour to drive here and worth every mile! Great farm to table menu, wine pairings and service. This is my second visit to celebrate two birthdays.
Our table had the vegetable skillet appetizer and cheese plate as appetizers to share. Entrees were the lamb shank, salmon, short rib, and two rib eyes. Even though I had a fabulous rib eye, my favorite was the short rib. So tender!!
We're already planning our next family gathering!

My family has been going here for years. The service is now horrible!!! We have given it 3 times hoping to see improvement, no such luck. The food is still very good, but the staff has no training what so ever! Not only do you have to wait on yourself, no one there seems to care if your order is correct .If I could give 0 stars I would. Owner look at staff, the hostess look like she ready to clean a house, not seat people. Please do not tell me you can't get staff, than train the ones you have.

Top notch dining and amazing wine selection. One of the few places where I've found fantastic Grenache wine. They're heirloom, arugula, and beet salad is amazing.

Consistently good food and nice friendly staff. And, you should think of this place not just as a restaurant, but also as a wine shop. They have decent retail prices on a wide variety of wines. Their wine club, with several reasonable membership options, would be a good one to join if you like the idea of a variety of winery brands in your club order. And, in-store purchases are discounted for club members.

Food was fantastic, the ambiance is exactly what Los olivos feels like today. We got it take out, and it survived a 30 minute drive. The wine was fantastic and they made great recommendations. High recommendation, I hope to go again when they open for on-site service.

Best place in Santa Barbara County for lunch! The wine menu is superb. Best seating is at the bar. Diana and Keri are very friendly and professional!
