Best American Restaurants in Santa Ynez

Every part of our meal was amazing, food, cocktails, wine by the glass and of course service. Even the bread basket is amazing.

From the owners to the chefs to the servers to the hosts, BLC consistently provides a top notch culinary experience at every level. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for the food permeates, from the boquerones to the cute little shrimp that holds down your bill. The menu is limber, so it is easy to craft many different meals, each journey just as exciting as the last. The wine list is a mix of local and foreign wines that is as fun, approachable, high quality and as intriguing as the restaurant itself. The Peruvian scallops are divine, truly a dish I crave often and my wife plans her work schedule around the fried chicken sandwich, making sure our reservations are early enough that it won’t have sold out. We love this restaurant. The paella, the Secreto (please keep it on the menu!) try it all, you can not go wrong. And do not skip dessert. Huge shout to Roy, your warmth and hospitality always brightens our day.

Our server, Martha, was outstanding. She unobtrusively took care of all our needs.

Highly recommend! Food, wine, service were perfect.

We are long time S.Y.V. residents and have enjoyed all the Chumash have to offer, the shows, the casino and especially the food!!! We took good friends there for lunch who have never experienced the Chumash casino> THEY LOVED IT!!! Reservations were easy to make, the host & hostess were very welcoming and we had requested a booth which was reserved and waiting for us! The server was friendly and very accommodating to us and service was fast!!! The food was excellent!!! One party had the Quinoa salad and said it was "the best" she has ever had! 2 other each had the "Cluck Norris" burger that was perfection, chicken very tender, bun toasted just right and the fries...OMG...both sweet potato and regular fries were delicious!!! My husband had the Patty Burger with onion rings, both items perfectly cooked and he ate the whole thing!!! We will be back, maybe during the world serries...which would be exciting with a house full of people enjoying the game!!! Great place and experience beginning to the end!! Thanks!!!
