S.Y. Kitchen

I had a high expectation coming with locals that, like us, are adept foodies with Italian and European culinary experience. We wanted to like the place but all four of us were, sadly, not impressed. Especially not impressed, given the sometimes pricey menu items. Positives: Decor is simple, clean, and nicely spaced so that you don't feel crowded. Noise level is optimal, you can have a conversation. Service was pleasant, very professional, but unnecessarily slow on a night when only half the restaurant was filled. The drink selection was very good. However, I must say that while the cocktails were creatively designed, and overpriced as many are, they didn't always turn out so tasty. A matter of creative ingredients that sound interesting but that do not necessarily work well together. In

After a first/initial disappointing experience at SY Kitchen, my fiancé and I decided to give it another shot for our Valentine’s Day weekend. Unfortunately, SY Kitchen was again highly disappointing, and it will be our last time visiting. I do want to acknowledge the positive aspects here — the service and waitstaff are very attentive, and your water glass will never be empty. Additionally, the cocktail program is good and consistent, particularly in an area where restaurants tend to focus on only wine pairings for meals. That being said, we have now visited SY Kitchen twice with high expectations considering it’s reviews, and have been highly disappointed with the food both times. And just to note, we visited several months apart, with both visits planned for celebratory occasions. Du

GO HERE. Food is amazing. Service is just as good. Rachel was great. Friendly, upbeat, and good conversation. We had the burrata board app and the sausage and burrata pizza. More than enough for two to split and every bite was spectacular. We didn’t order pasta but the neighboring tables did. They raved about it but it did look on the smaller side. We will be back!! Reservations highly suggested

This is one of the BEST restaurant I have ever been to ! We live in LA, and spent the weekend visiting Solvang, Santa Barbara and the whole area. We stayed in Santa Ynez, and booked that restaurant for Friday Dinner. The place is beautiful! Such a big , unique and authentic restaurant. The food was DELICIOUS! You know what? delicious is an under statement. We love dinning out, we go to restaurants all over LA. This one, is definitely one of the best we have ever tried, if not the best! The pizza, the bread (oh my goodness, I wish I had this bread now :-) ....), the pasta, the salmon - was the best salmon I have ever ate, the deserts, and I can continue on and on. We were a big group; 8 people in one table, and 4 people in another table next to us. Everything we order was top notch! The ser

This is some of the best food around! Everything my group had was exceptional. From the appetizers to our cocktails and wines and the entrees, everything was first rate. Our server provided good suggestions and was very attentive. This meal will be worth a return visit to the area on its own!
