- SSophiaOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur meal and service were impeccable! From the very moment we walked in with our two little kids, the maitre’d made us feel so welcome. He also made sure the kitchen accommodated my little one with a severe food allergy. The food came out quickly and every bite was exceptional. The service was so friendly from our waiter to our busser and everyone in between. I was very impressed and am excited to return again and again. Thank you!More infoSY KitchenPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9
