Herb Roasted Filet Mignon
Dennis A.

Ordered the Herb Roasted Filet Mignon, it was fantastic. Very tasty and cooked to perfection. The price point is spot on for a great meal. Definitely will visit again to try more delicious dishes. The whole menu looked enticing.

Chipotle Avocado Chicken Sandwich
Claudia C.

Great spot for lunch with parking available. The menu offers local ingredients and seasonal options to enjoy. I had the chicken sandwich and my friend ordered their burger with some customization. They were very kind and accommodating.

Flatiron steak

Dynamite food. Small but cozy place. Flatiron steak w chimichurri and roasted broccoli. Substituted roasted sweet potato cubes for mashed potatoes, no problem. Perfectly grilled tender meat. Tritip sandwich also very tender. Highly recommend if near Buellton. Great service.

AR Burger with French Fries (ordered to go, aioli on the side)
Shelby S.

I've been excited to try this spot and finally ordered food for takeout recently after a late work day. Their menu isn't huge but I can appreciate that because it shows they are preparing their foods well and know what they're doing versus trying to master a huge selection. The AR Burger is so good. We opted for French fries, but they aren't what we were expecting- they're cubed and fried pieces of potato. I needed a fork to eat them. The poke nachos are incredible. Huge fan. Love the pairing of the wonton chips. So good. We will definitely be back. It was super easy to place an order ahead for pick up and their prices are super comparable to other spots in the area for dinner.

I'm not sure what magic they're working in Buellton, but the AR Restaurant and Catering off Highway 246 is an absolute gem. Our first visit we indulged in their exquisite croquettes and divine poke nachos. The croquettes were a crispy, golden delight, but it was the poke nachos that truly stole the show. Imagine delicate wonton chips, perfectly crispy and light, topped with fresh, succulent poke. The whole dish was drizzled with a creamy aioli dressing that was an explosion of flavors, reminiscent of the finest poke bowl dressing. Every bite was a taste sensation, a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left us utterly enchanted. We also had the salmon tacos which were bursting with flavor and were cooked to perfection. Our second visit in person we were able to meet Alex himself and it was a pleasure. This visit we ordered the chipotle wings, garlic shrimp, lentil soup and of course the poke nachos. It was all so delicious. We will be coming back again and again.

Omg chocolate cake and ice cream

Food and service spectacular. The chicken wings are to die for. Everything here was delicious and the people were warm and friendly. Super epic!

Nothing left to take home!

Empty plates! We love this gem of a restaurant and took some friends for dinner. The menu is creative, fresh, delicious, and doesn't disappoint!

BEST FOOD TO EAT!!! LOVE THE AREA AND RESTAURANT.  NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN THE AREA GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!!

We had the Caesar salad, Chicken Picatta and Beef Bolognese. The food was amazing. They have a pizza oven for pizza lovers. A lot of orders were placed to go by locals. The restaurant was a little hard to find because it is located in the back of Parkway Market. Don't let that keep you from trying it...there is a dining room and we decided to eat here. You can also order to go, grab a bottle of wine, go back to your hotel and eat by the pool or in the courtyard.

My family and I stopped at your restaurant on our way home to Lompoc because the menu and website…read morephotos looked great. We ordered the chicken picatta and sole picatta to-go, tipped despite not dining in, and drove 20 miles home. When we opened the boxes, both orders were incorrect. According to the board menu, the sole picatta comes with arugula, beets, pistachios, and potatoes (no capers), and the chicken picatta comes with capers, spinach, and potatoes. Instead, both dishes came with pasta and none of the listed sides. More concerning, the sole had capers--even though we specifically asked when ordering because my partner is allergic and were told it does not include them. Meanwhile, the chicken picatta, which should have had capers, had none. Portions were also quite small for the $22 price point. We tried calling the restaurant eight times with no answer. After contacting the liquor store it's located inside, we were told to call back in five minutes. When we did, the call wouldn't even go through. Since we couldn't reach anyone, we drove the 20 miles back to Buellton to request a refund. When I showed the chef the incorrect dishes, he insisted the picatta dishes come with pasta and produced a small, crumpled paper menu from under the counter showing that version. We were never given this menu and ordered solely from the board displayed above. There was no apology and no offer to remake the meals, only a refund when I requested it. The employee who originally helped us acknowledged they "haven't gotten around" to updating the board menu. Other reviews mention similar issues with discrepancies between the board and the paper menu, which suggests this is an ongoing problem. Thankfully, we received a refund and our tip back, but we drove a total of 60 miles and ended up without dinner, eventually eating at Blaze Pizza at 9:45pm after ordering from you at 6:15pm. Despite this disappointing experience, we would be willing to give your restaurant another try if complimentary meal vouchers could be offered. We understand that busy periods can lead to mistakes, but the lack of accountability and apology was the most frustrating part. Acknowledging errors and making things right builds trust. Photos of what was advertised versus what we received are attached. We hope for a better experience in the future; otherwise, we unfortunately will not return.

For the festival, streets were shut down but you'll typically find parking on the street, or in the nearby lots. Nice thing is that they're free too. At least the ones I've parked at. Panino isn't a full service restaurant. Order at the counter and wait for your order to be brought to your table, or for your name to be called if it's to go. Your order includes your drinks up front so if you want something else, get back in line and order again. Inside the shop, there's seating for about five/six people. Most were sitting outside. Your order is brought to you outside too if you're wondering. I ordered me a Half/Half. Half sandwich (Italian) and a half salad (Caprese) See pics. I enjoyed the salad. I was craving it so it hit the spot. The mozzarella cheese and fresh greens. The sandwich, I liked, but didn't love. It wasn't about the ingredients (even the green peppers which I've never seen on an Italian nor leaves of lettuce as opposed to them being shredded). If the dressing were more tangy, I wouldn't say I'd love it but at least crush on it a little so for me, Panino's version was ok. I wouldn't order it again knowing what I know but if someone shared a half with me, I wouldn't turn it down. Anyway, there's a long list of sandwiches on the menu. I'd definitely try other items on the list as well as checking out their other locations.

This place is right downtown and has a lovely patio and dining area, and is always popular, so when…read moreI saw a chance for a late lunch without crowds, I jumped into action - and I'm glad I did! For my first visit, I am now a fan. The ambiance is nice and comfortable, with lots of natural light. I was quickly seated by a large window that looked out onto an area with tables for a bakery next door. Ideas for dessert? The menu is varied enough for folks, and I focused on the Gold Coast Grilled Cheese sandwich (sharp cheddar, gruyere, mozzarella, caramelized onions, parmesan crisp, The Baker's Table pain au levain vegetarian) with a choice of sides. I had also noticed a new offering, a creamy Fennel soup with local olive oil, and toasted almonds. I choose a cup of that soup for a side. The sandwich and soup came together, and the soup was steamy hot - literally! The sandwich has a side served up with grilled parmesan cheese, and the opposite side (or flip side, as I want to say) has the traditional grilled look. I have photos of both sides here. The soup was indeed creamy, and at one point I was trying to figure out how to answer someone who asks, "What does it taste like?" And I still don't have an answer. However, it does have a slight herbal licorice taste, but not at all overwhelming, and if you don't eat licorice, you may notice it but not be able to place it. However, if you don't like licorice, I think you would still enjoy this soup, as the flavor is very subtle. It was extremely delicious. The sandwich, with the parmesan crisp and mixed cheeses, was very cheesy, and I loved that. Overall, the food was outstanding and the service wonderful, with water refills on cue and quick service for ordering and closing out the bill. My server, Maggie, was top notch - thank you! If you are in Solvang and want a quality meal at a decent price (for Solvang) come here, and if they are less busy than usual, all the better!

The pastrami smoked salmon sandwich does not actually have pastrami but the pastrami spices are present in each bite of the smoked salmon. It worked so well, I wish I didn't have to share but with so much good food, unless my stomach is bigger, sharing allowed me to try more things. I was so happy that we had an option to have a cup of butternut squash soup with that sandwich making it the perfect soup and sandwich combo. The shaved Brussel Sprouts salad is so addictive that I couldn't stop eating it and was a great way to get more veggies in our diet. Even though I over ordered to try everything I wanted, shaved Brussels Sprouts salad, halibut tacos and pastrami smoked salmon sandwich with a cup of butternut squash soup, I regretted not coming back for dinner to have it all over again.

We popped in today and were impressed by the huge selection of sandwich options. You can choose from several breads including focaccia, sourdough, baguette, or whole wheat, and then build from a really interesting variety of meats, cheeses, and vegetarian toppings. The cheese selection alone was worth the visit. They offer unique choices like Stilton, horseradish cheddar, and several English cheeses (plus plenty of brie options that work beautifully on their sandwiches). It's not your typical deli lineup, which makes the menu fun to explore. We ordered the half sandwich and half salad combo, which was the perfect portion for lunch. You can also order full sandwiches or full salads, and they offer chips on the side if you want a little crunch with your meal. For dessert we split an ice cream sandwich called "Monkey in the Middle." It had banana ice cream between two soft cinnamon cookies with chocolate hazelnut spread. We shared it four ways and it was the perfect little sweet ending. They also have a nice selection of canned beverages, and there's a water station out front if you just want something simple. Best of all, sitting outside in Los Olivos is such a treat. Great food, lots of creative options, and a relaxed wine-country atmosphere. We'll definitely stop again next time we're in town.
