Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Buellton

We had a party of 6 and shared several starters in addition to our main courses, a couple deserts and some cocktails. The service was great. Every dish was beautifully presented, unique and absolutely delicious! This was my second time eating here (live locally), but it was a first for everyone else and they all raved about their meal. Highly recommend the Gathering Table!

We tried Norman with friends of ours. We were seated in a cute corner booth and were immediately asked if we needed anything while settling in. We started with cocktails, french fries and cornbread. All perfect and delicious. I have to say that the home made ranch dressing served with the fries was the best I had ever had-and I’m not a ranch dressing lover, but this was terrific. Being Tuesday, we ordered the tacos, each of us ordering a different kind so we could taste all three variations. Another ordered a hamburger. The fish tacos were the hands down favorite. The hamburger was also delicious. We finished with the cookie caramel ice cream dessert. Served hot in a tiny cast iron skillet, fantastic to share. We loved everything about our time at the Norman. I recommend it to everyone looking for a cool retro experience. Lots of fun-definitely go!

As always, another great experience! Food was amazing as per usual. Joy is the best. Great moody soundtrack and cozy energy. We brought some friends from out of town, and they thoroughly enjoyed everything. Wine pairings were requested and suggestions were spot on. Prix fixe menu is a fantastic value. Highly recommend, we will be back soon.

The flavors were vibrant and the cuisine engaged all the senses leveraging color and texture. I had gone there with my daughter during restaurant week and enjoyed it so much I really wanted to find a reason to go back again. When a friend I had not seen in many years came to town from Laguna Beach that seemed like the perfect opportunity. She is a foodie and enjoyed it just as much as I did.
