There was an area outside with a bonfire going and we had a smore's bar. The barn was great and seated our 140 guests comfortably with a good sized dance floor. Angela and her family were so amazing. They were all very friendly and professional. They took care of so much behind the scenes that made our day go smooth. We cannot thank you enough Angela, you were a blessing!!

For appetizers, we did the poke nachos (paired with a very good salsa) and Korean short ribs. Some good flavors going on. For dinner, I had the Twice Fried Chicken w/ risotto, collard greens, and a side of potlicker sauce. This meal cemented the 5-stars!! Chicken skin was crispy, the meat moist. Pour the pot liquor sauce on the chicken and DAMN! Risotto was very good, but collard greens brought the dish home. Superb. Wife had the orecchiette w/ shredded short rib. Also superb. Desserts were okay, and the pear bread pudding stood out. Lastly, some outstanding service from Jen put a nice cap on a wonderful dinner. A+ Cheers! RS

We were hungry after a long drive in Los Alamos. Not much open on a holiday weekend (but there's…read morenot much in this small town anyways). We were grateful The Maker's Son was open and graciously sat at a table inside the bar. I had a headache from the heat so it was nice to cool off inside. It looks like this has recently opened and is only serving the bar menu until their full kitchen opens up next week. We ordered a 6 piece Smoked Chicken Wing Set and The Maker's Burger. The portions of these are ridiculously generous! We thought the wings would be small but these are so huge! The burger was tasty and came with great waffle fries. Great food, nice and friendly staff (currently masked up due to the pandemic) - this place is awesome! Wishing it nothing but the best after it fully opens!

My husband and I came from out of town, which is Ventura, CA. Yes it was far but we don't regret it at all! We were trying to find a venue within our budget and we came here. We met up with Jodi, she was very nice & was so helpful with everything. Communication wise was 10/10, she would respond to our emails quick, and her responses were always so helpful. The price was fair for us and we were able to bring in our own vendors at no extra cost, pretty awesome. We used the outdoor part of the pavilion and it was to die for! The venue itself was amazing & BEAUTIFUL!! Our dream wedding came out better than we expected! Till this day, our family and friends that came to our wedding, can't stop talking about how amazing the venue was and how the set up was. I would definitely recommend coming here for any event! Wish I can give more than 5 stars!!

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon. The olive oil tasting farm is located in a nice neighborhood area in downtown Los Olivos. There is parking accessible in the back parking lot and limited parking next to the olive oil tasting area and boutique shop. As soon as we parked and headed to the olive oil tasting area, we were greeted by a very friendly and hospitable staff member. I appreciated all the information she told us about the property and instructions about the olive oil tasting experience. Their complimentary olive oil tasting was unique and unlike any other olive oil tasting I had ever done before. There were 10 different olive oils to taste from. You are given a freshly made sourdough bread slice to go along with a tray with a menu sheet of all the olive oils. Some of the olive oils that stood out to me were the white truffle, garlic, and Italian honey. We were then encouraged to explore the rest of the property where there was a charcuterie cart, pottery vendor, and complimentary wine tasting on the other side of the premises. This enhanced our olive oil tasting experience even more. The rest of the property was beautiful as there were a lot of tables and chairs for guests to enjoy. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Olive + Lavender Farms. The staff were nice and accommodating. The vibe was relaxing and inviting. The boutique shop were selling a lot of wonderful and distinctive local products in the area. The olive oils price point are in the higher end. Next time we are in the area we would love to come back.

The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating to all of our questions. They offered advice and recommendations of vendors in the area. We are so excited to have the wedding at this location!!

I only wished there was someone there so we could've gotten food to feed the animals. Iwould've given 5 stars if they had that. Overall for the price it was totally worth it.
