River Grill At the Alisal

"This was our first visit. Nice rustic restaurant with a beautiful peaceful looking view of the golf course green. Great quick service. The food was delicious and ample amount. The Bloody Mary included a thick spicy bacon slice plus plenty of olives, yummy. No complaints we had an enjoyable lunch, the price was normal for Santa Barbara and we will be returning next week."

"10/22/23 Update: Food was very good, onion rings we're among the best ever, but service was beyond slow. Prices keep creeping up in this golf course grill, but the food is very good and it's hard to beat the chill atmosphere on their outside patio. A great escape from the tourists and congestion of Solvang. The menu is pretty limited but the quality is excellent. My $20 salmon salad was very tasty although a bit overcooked. The $19 chicken salad was excellent. Beers are tourist town pricey as well but they have a good selection including local brews. I'll be back."

"The service was lovely, everyone was kind and accommodating. The food was tasty and not overpriced for the area. The views and atmosphere were peaceful and sincere. Highly recommend!"

"Absolutely a must for locals and tourists alike. A refreshing dining option away from the crowds and traffic on a busy Solvang weekend. You simply cannot beat the view of the hills and canyons from the patio on a sunny day... unless the huge cozy fireplace inside is more your vibe! The food is always spot on, fresh, and filling. Breakfast classics are available all day on the weekends including eggs benedict and loaded bloody Mary's, mimosas and a few other fun "breakfast cocktails". Lunch and dinner options are timeless and there's always something for everyone. Blue Plate Specials are fun and different every Thursday and Friday night during their Late Night seating. What I love most about River Grill is that it's great for so many occasions- brunch with the girls, a quick solo lunch, dinner with the family, or beers on tap while sitting at the bar during the game. Staff are wonderful and make sure you are happy and taken care of. Great establishment here in the valley!"

"The food at the River Grill was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, and our company was great. We shared their tortilla soup which was spicy and creamy and so very good. My husband had a club sandwich and onion rings, which were amazing. I had fish tacos and fries which were very good as well. We thought about dessert but probably should have had it first, because we were too full to even look at the menu. A lovely place for lunch."
