Owned by chef Michael Cherney, an alum of Las Vegas’ L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon restaurant, and his wife Sarah, a hospitality pro, this family-friendly restaurant focuses on food made from scratch with local ingredients. Menu stars like Sea Urchin Carbonara and Pork Neck Schnitzel are served in the casual earth-toned dining room, on the outdoor patio, and for takeout. A robust lunch menu includes the Solvang Hot Chicken sandwich, Lil’ McFeast burger, Crispy Fish Collar, and Copenhagen Caesar. For dessert, Nannie’s Frozen Lime Pie is a must.
