Restaurants near Joulian Vineyards

We had the pleasure of having a Chanukah/Christmas lunch here and it was amazing. The meal was superb with moments of perfection; but the best part was the service. We were hosted by Sarah who made the entire experience truly exceptional. We have eaten in Michelin starred restaurants around the globe, and the service from Sarah was on par with the finest places we’ve been. Our highlights were the cheese plate, the mushroom risotto, and the pineapple polenta cake (so good), but the meal would not have been half as good without the service. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Went on christmas eve. It was expectedly crowded. Food was awesome. Great service. Its a pricey place, we paid $180 for two people. But we don’t eat out much so it was great! The waitress was very nice, attentive. Not like Il Fornaio in Carmel on Thanksgiving. That place had horrible service!! Tarpys is great!

Phenomenal food and good experience. For that type of restaurant I was really disappointed in the waiter. Very indifferent and way too unfriendly for that caliber of a restaurant. He didn’t try to conversant in any way or even make us feel like he valued us being there. When you eat at a high end restaurant you want to feel important and that you are in a special place. Our waiter did not give us that experience.

Incredible!!! Not to be missed. The views were amazing!!! Tony took great care of us. We had the crab eggs Benedict and the California eggs Benedict (with mushrooms) and both were outstanding. The fried potatoes were perfectly prepared and the coffee was delicious. We will be back.

We enjoyed a leisurely wine tasting experience including seven different wines and delicious bread with olive oil. Great service as well!
