Restaurants near College Center Shopping Center

Our server was Laura (she has been our server on numerous occasions over the years at other restaurants in Solvang and we are so happy that she is at the Gathering Table). Service was excellent (as always). The food was fabulous. We will be back the next time we are in town.

Beautiful day, perfect setting, great food and service! We even got to witness a proposal(she said yes!)which added an element of special meaning to our experience.

I came here as a fan on the movie Sideways. My meal was excellent and the service was even better. I had filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. Lentil soup was superb! My server was Autumn and she was personable, professional, polite, and provided excellent service. The wine was excellent. I would highly recommend the Hitching Post II.

From start to finish; AMAZING. Took my daughters and mom for Valentines. The hostess arranged for us to get the best table in the house. The food was excellent, not the normal, but an original interpretation of what food should taste like. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. Dessert was also very thought out. The house manager was also very involved in our experience. My family and I felt very much appreciated and most of all cared after. One of our best if not the best Valentines we have lived.

Bell's is, without a doubt, one of my favorite restaurants in the entire state of California. Along with its sister restaurant, Bar Le Cote in Los Olivos, it offers cuisine influenced by both the local products of the Central Coast (locally-farmed produce, Santa Barbara sea urchin, and the like), and both modern and classic European influences. I make it a point to visit at least one, if not both, of these two restaurants, whenever I am in the area, and I would consider them to be worth a trip or at at least a detour, when driving up and down the California coast. The food is fresh, innovative, and extremely flavorful, and the service is always top notch. The a la carte lunch menu at Bell's is extremely fun. I think it would be impossible to come here and not enjoy yourself.
