“ Omg so freindly and excellent food. I've never had Indian food before. An it was amazing. So happy my first time having it was with you guys. An the Hummingbird cake was delicious. See you on our next trip back up here. ”
“ This is my second time visiting this little wine bar and I absolutely love it! We had some small bites the first time which were amazing but this time the cook called out so we just had some wine. Regardless we enjoyed our time here and the wine is so good! I got a wine flight for 25 (2 whites and 3 reds) we will definitely be back when we come back to Solvang. ”
“ The best service we had during our weekend in Solvang. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The wine tasting was delightful for a novice like myself. I wish I could find a place closer to home with a pimento dip like theirs. ”
“ After traveling to the region for our honeymoon, we can honestly say that Clean Slate was the highlight of our week long trip. Beautifully presented in a quiet corner of Solvang - with plenty of outdoor and in door seating. Our server "Joey" was absolutely incredible. Friendly, Kind, Genuinely interested in us as customers and SUPER knowledgeable about the wine and food avaliable. The wine tasting was fantastic- with a great range of Red, White, Sparkling and Rose wines from the local region. Joey's recommendation (Bocce Ball Volo Shot) was our absolute favorite. We didn't plan on eating there, however after spending HOURS enjoying the company of Joey and the other staff and the incredible wines - we did - and boy we weren't disappointed. GORGEOUS food and vegetarian options of dishes if required. We were even given a few complimentary drinks for our honeymoon celebrations - as well as Joey giving us his recommendations for things to do in the local area I wish I could give clean slate, Joey, and everyone there more than 5 stars. An absolute highlight and delight. ”
“ Recommend to everyone visiting Solvang. The drinks menu is diverse but the best part of the rotating menu throughout the week! We stopped by on Curry Night and had multiple dishes from the menu. Flavor was perfect and delicious to the very last bite. ”
“ Incredibly delicious food, I bit into the stuffed dates and could not believe how good they were. I’m gonna be dreaming about them ngl. The vegetarian gumbo that was available for cajon night was amazing and so filling. Also the sangria was perfect. Beautiful location, quiet and scenic. ”
“ Great owners and wonderful staff. The location is excellent and the food incredible... They are not a regular restaurant, so check the day you are going to see what's on the menu and if they are hosting a private event. I totally recommend Fridays for the Viking Sandwich and a honey ale. They have awesome wines as well. One of the best local spots for my wife and I. Be sure to stop by when in Solvang. ”
“ I had a great time at this place and would recommend it to anyone. Jason, the owner, has a great knowledge of independent wine makers in the region. He has helped them for years and is now running a tasting room in Solvang that allows people with more wine making skills than Capital to get their wines in front of customers. We came twice in a weekend and joined the wine club. There is a great selection of Santa Barbara county wines in addition to the Bocce Ball Wines that Jason makes. In addition, the place is cozy and relaxing, the service is great, and the food menu, though limited has really great wine pairings. This place is earned its reputation on Google maps. ”
