Located on the grounds of The Genevieve hotel (formerly the Santa Ynez Inn), The Victor debuted in 2022. Elegant farmhouse interiors suit its wine country proximity, and the menu ranges from small bites such as oysters and champagne to hearty dishes, like Tomahawk steak with Bordelaise and loaded lardon baked potato. Executive chef Beto Huizar maximizes the use of a live-fire Josper oven. Happy hour offerings include tri-tip sliders, classic shrimp cocktail, chilled or fried oysters with sorrel aioli, and house deviled eggs with smoked trout roe and Calabrian chili. Dinner options include The Victor Burger with crispy house-made fries, a Josper oven-roasted whole fish, grilled lobster, and Kobe beef filet mignon. Cocktails, local draft beers, and predominantly regional wines including “Victor Collection” varietals from Lucas & Lewellen are also available. Look for special event winemaker dinners and prix fixe, three-course Sunday Suppers featuring elevated comfort food.
