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.

Came here last year w/ my girlfriend and thought it was decent so this year I brought my family and what a disappointment the food was! Most of the food was super bland tasting & didn't have much flavor and needed more salt or seasoning. Citrus Olive Oil Cake was $12 and it was more like a small microwaved muffin with cream. Took a bit of time for waitress to accommodate us most of the time we were there.

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.

Great place for lunch and dinner. Food fantastic. Service was great! I absolutely love this place. Wish I had a place like this in the first AVA where I live.

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!

A favorite! There are really only 3 places to get a nice meal in Los Olivos. Side Street Hardware, the Fess Parker, and the Wine Merchant. it's often impossible to get into Side Street because of their limited facilities. So on at least three occasions, we have walked away and eaten at the Wine Merchant. That's not because the Wine Merchant is a lesser place, but only because we wanted brussel sprouts at Side Street. Wine Merchant is not only famous for its appearance in the movie Sideways, and for its amazing selection of wine, but everything on the menu is good. The pizzas are one of my favorites, but the hamburgers are gigantic, and the fries are great. I highly recommend this place, and to be sure it's at least as good or better than the other two in town.

Update 2/2024:
Had the pepperoni pizza again and loved it. Always get an olive appetizer and my wife got the skirt steak which was a little tough. $16 a glass for wine.

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.

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.

Salads were bitter and the raviolis were mushy and covered in too many mushrooms. Service was rather slow. We've had good experiences here in the past, but this time it wasn't good at all.

Where do I start ? Chef Brooke is an amazing talent. Every morsel of every dish was so incredibly delicious. Worth every penny. Cannot recommend this place enough !

I just have to say that the attention to detail made for an awful experience. First of all our waiter missed one of our guests orders, which needed to be placed after we finished our salad. Our salad and soup wasn’t served prior to our meal, it was served with our main meal! We didn’t like this! My meal came out with my guests salad and soup. There was a shift change. When we ordered dessert and coffee, coffee was served way before our dessert was served, we ate our dessert after we had our coffee, not along with the coffee! No Birthday recognition! (Which I told the hostess ahead of time, and even had to point out where we were sitting) we are locals and will “NOT” return. Server’s need more training! Very unhappy experience for the price!

Great place on Los Olivos on Main St. Lots of wine choices n extensive menu. Good ambiance inside but also nice to eat outside. Need reservations!

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.

I usually try to be positive about a business but the service really was bad. Really bad. The pizza we ordered had a great crust and the most bland everything else.

Wonderful place for lunch or brunch, to gather with friends and also a amazing selection of wines. I bought my first "orange" wine....Food is also very good with large portions.

It's been a few years but the food looked amazing, but the flavors and experience fell flat. The burger was the best, the pasta and sauce was ok, but the flavors were too extreme and opposite and wish there was more seasoning to bring the dish together. The creme brulee was a HUGE disappointment. The creme was runny watery and not firm. Then the brulee was stuffy and Taffy like, not hard at all and couldn't be shattered. Huge fail for us today when we remember it being good years ago.
