This restaurant has moved and has changed its name. It is now called Aly's and is now located at 451 2nd Street directly across the street from the Solvang Theater. In our opinion it is the best restaurant in Solvang, if not the entire Santa Ynez Valley. Though definitely on the expensive side (most entrees are in the $30 range), it is well worth it, in my opinion. On a recent visit my wife and I had the 4 course tasting menu ($60) and it was one of the best meals we have had anywhere in the past 20 years.

CAUTION: There is a new restaurant located at the Mirabelle Inn but it is quite different and definitely nothing special and not recommended (at least by me).
