Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Cafe

Stopped in for lunch at this pet friendly establishment and sat outside on the patio. Food, service and atmosphere were great. Don't miss the pastrami sandwich and fries.

Fantastic food and wine selection. While Open Table said they were booked we were able to get seated right away. Full service at the bar as well which had a few seats open. Not super kid friendly but do-able if your kids are quiet and sit still. Lovely outdoor patio which is shaded.

Traveled through this nice little town and decided to try this cafe for dinner. The food was amazing. I ordered the hanger steak and the rest of my party ordered pasta, salmon and chicken breast. The food was fresh and delicious. The tomatoes were in season so the flavor was out of this world. The staff works hard and even though we waited some time for our food it was worth the wait.

An unplanned diversion to our travel schedule had us stopping in Los Olivos. A nice walk around the small downtown and we were ready for lunch with a glass of wine. Settled on the Wine Merchant and Cafe and couldn’t be happier. My wife is gluten free with the menu having numerous options to many dishes. She chose a sandwich with one of the best buns she has ever had since restricting gluten from her diet. The bun was made in house. They also do French fries in seperate oil. Was she delighted to be able to chose among the plenty options. Their wines by the glass did not follow the standard selections seen in most places but had many hidden gems that we didn’t expect. The two we tried we ended up buying bottles
To take with us.

You can’t go wrong here. A great establishment that does not disappoint.

Great place as usual. Havent been in a long time, and they were as good as ever.
All the dishes were fresh, tasty, well presented, large portions, and just perfect. Took only a few pic, the best one of the Gnocchi, which was simply delicious.

Wonderful! The food, service, ambience were all stellar and the wine was also excellent. So good, that we’re going back for seconds.

I've been coming to Los Olivos Wine Merchant for years. They NEVER disappoint with there service, Environment and excellent quality food and wine. I was just there for lunch and had an excellent salad and it was fresh and full of flavor. The server was excellent and while I was waiting had excellent conversation with one of the staff members. I can always depend on a nice afternoon in los olivos and lunch at this excellent restaurant. Look forward to next visit, thank you!

Went to lunch yesterday for the first time and love everything about the experience! The menu and food is 10 stars!! Even the folks sitting next to us were blown away. Was so impressed will be dinning there once a month (at least). Everything is grown on their farm! The frocacia bread is a must have with every meal. The salads are amazingly delish and so is the made in restaurant soup. The sandwiches and entree selection are why we will keep returning because we want to experience every single one. Pricing is very fair. Reservations are suggested. Dog friendly patio dinning. Cant wait to go back!

We totally lucked out getting a table at the last minute at this authentic Italian place in Los Olivos. Whereas the menu was somewhat expensive, it’s worth it because the portion sizes are good and the restaurant sources produce from their own organic farm. Their bread is to die for... be careful as it can fill you up. We shared the gnocchi and their vegetarian mushroom pasta, both absolutely delectable. We loved our food so much, we thought we couldn’t leave without trying out their desserts. And we are glad we did! All in all, it was one of our best dining experiences as we celebrated Mother’s Day one week early this year. We will definitely visit them again in the future.

Always so nice and great service, as a single diner I appreciate it so much

Love this place! Everyone is very warm and friendly. Chef came out to see how we were doing, now that's passion! Food is most excellent, so so fresh! We will be back!

Loved everything about our al fresco lunch experience. Could have made a meal of the Grilled Za'atar Flatbread appetizer. Wife and I both loved our pinot noir flight, especially the Rare North from Willamette Valley. Service matched the food and atmosphere. Probably the best meal during our week in the Santa Ynez Valley.

The waiter that helped us at our first visit was amazing.

Her name is Thea
Very kind and we even bought 2 bottles of wine, because she was so helpful to let us know about a deal on them.

Amazing food and service.
We had the flight of wine and ended up ordering one of their house wines that's from the vineyard down the street! It was amazing!

Super cute experience. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

A laid back small town restaurant. Food and service was outstanding. A good way to escape from the chaotic world of big city life. Everyone there from employees to customers were very classy and well mannered. This is a regular stop for us now any time we visit the Santa Ynez Valley.

A truly excellent experience. The service was friendly and attentive. The food options were interesting, and my selection (a simple turkey sandwich and baked brie), was surprisingly interesting. I don't normally think of a turkey sandwich as an exciting choice, but their crema was really tasty and I devoured the sandwich! The ambiance is peaceful but interesting with good people watching. Definitely a go to place.

Absolutely fabulous. A great dinning experience. Food excellent as well as the presentation. David our serve was excellent and the music added a special touch

Best Short Rib I've had. Baked Brie was delicious. Food was outstanding A++. Plenty of wine options. The service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and did i mention the food was delicious. Definitely a must go back when we are back in town to Los Olivos.

Outstanding experience! Food was excellent, lots of comfort food, prepared at a higher level. Our server was fantastic and the atmosphere is great. Lots of wines as expected. Will definitely return!
