Located in the Santa Ynez Valley wine country on the site of a 19th-century stagecoach stop, this restaurant is the primary dining venue at The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern, Auberge Resorts Collection. The dinner menu marries California cuisine and local ranch life, relying on regional purveyors and an on-site garden for ingredients. Starter options include pork rillett with sourdough from nearby Bob’s Well Bread or Central Coast abalone with abalone-liver mousse and warm white-miso butter over mushroom confit. Imaginative mains change with the seasons but might include choices like seared sea scallops on curried butternut squash with asparagus tips and English peas, or strip steak topped with tomato butter and thin, crisp onion rings. Craft cocktails and regional and global wines are served.
