Reviews for Mad & Vin in Solvang, CA
Wow, Mad & Vin totally blew away my expectations. Their charcuterie plate was the best I’ve had in ages, and the first one to... include enough bread right out of the gate. The meat and cheese selections were excellent and the quantities were more than mostplaces, and a great value for the price. The accouterments were also excellent. We also had the pork belly (excellent) and thecalamari. I have to say that the calamari was literally the best I’ve ever had, I cannot overstate how excellent it was. Everybite was better than the last. We also had brunch the following morning and it was also wonderful. Read more
Pleasantly surprised! This place is a gem! Great food, big portions, and super service! … Harrison was our waiter and he made... sure we had a top notch experience! The tomahawk pork chop shown is a half portion split…. Read more
Great spot to grab brunch or lunch. I ordered the steak and eggs. My wife ordered the salmon Benedict. Both meals were delicious... and the farm grown eggs were perfect. We sat outside in the patio area. There is inside seating as well. Make sure you make areservation or else wait times can be significant. Read more
Best place for gluten free food in Slovang! So happy to learn they had a separate deep fryer for gluten free options. The staff... was super friendly and very informed on gluten free items. I had gluten free Duck Fat French Fries, Buffalo Cauliflower and DeepFried Pork Belly with some tasty cocktails at their happy hour. Wish I was there for their dinner service - starts at 5pm.Fantastic place. Only suggestion would be they add a sign that says "seat yourself". Looking forward to dining there again soon,would recommend if you're looking for upscale food in Slovang. Staff is very attentive. Read more
I loved every bite of this meal. My pork chop was juicy and the cocktails were superb. My brother didn’t love the fish. But I... think he had his heart set on the cioppino and the server recommended the fish instead. It looked really good tho! Read more
No reservations available when we arrived, so we went to the bar and had a wonderful dinner from same menu! Also we were able to... stay and enjoy a game of cards and drinks. The place is very pet friendly, warm and inviting. Menu is varied. Everything from aburger to cioppino! All dinners were tasty, well presented and nice size portions! Staff was very attentive and friendly. Wewill definitely return next time we are town. 5 star for sure! Read more
A pretty good experience at Mad&Vin. Even though we had appointment at 5pm, but it took 10-15 mins for the hostess to actually... greeted us, it was ok, since it was warm inside and we're on vacation anyway. The servers and waitress are friendly andknowledgeable about the dinner menu highlights, lovely energy. I ordered the Cabernet that was suggested by Kathy, and It wasdelightful. The Skal cocktail and Gold rush were also delicious. I wish I could say the same about the food. The starters weregreat, brussel sprouts and calamari were made just right, flavorful and tender, crispy. They hit all the right notes. Theentrees were a bit anticlimactic. The tomahawk pork was a bit on a dry side for me, but flavors were there. The flat iron steakeven thou they stated prime on menu, it tasted like choice to me. Confit chicken was a bit boring, I was expecting more of it,clunky seasonings, as we found chunks of salt clumped together on different spots inside the cast iron pan they servedin. Caesar salad was a nice surprise, delicious with some shrimps and very nice dressing, perfectly seasoned. The servers andwaitresses and waiters were attentive, so 10 points for them. I would come back to give them another chance, since therestaurant is beautiful inside the Landsby hotel,and the service was nice. Read more
What a fantastic experience, we started with a shrimp caesar salad, very fresh, perfectly dressed, and delicious shrimp. For... our main course, we had roasted chicken and short ribs. Both were cooked to perfection, and the potatoes with the short rib hadlittle delicious chunks of pork. Very friendly and attentive staff; I highly recommend having a meal here. Read more
