Four friends celebrating a birthday at Los Olivos Wine Merchant Cafe, was an excellent choice. With reservations on Saturday we were seated immediately, but unfortunately waited 15-20 minutes before anyone came to our table to assist us. Thankfully the ambiance on the outdoor patio was cool and relaxing. Our waitress was warm, very friendly, and gave excellent recommendations. I wish I could remember her name. I highly highly recommend the baked brie appetizer, not a spec left on our dish it was delicious! This will sound weird but I have to mention the ketchup, so so good. You can really taste the farm to table freshness at this restaurant from condiments to plates. Pasta was fresh, salads,...
We had been here for lunch before. There was Christmas Market going on with the streets closed. It was very boisterous and festively loud. It didn't bother us as we weren't looking for a romantic cozy dinner. Food was very good. Server was a little reserved and didn't seem to fit the scene. But he was polite and nice. Johnny-on-the-spot with water and taking dirty dishes away. Hostess was very pleasant. We will definitely be back as we live close and it is our kind of place!!
The food is always consistent. Our waiter this time barely came to the table, she was not impressive. We didn’t come at a time when she had gotten slammed, end of night etc. The wasn’t any real reason why the service lacked. Many prior experiences have been great service there and overall the place is favorite.
Disappointed that there was a fixed menu, it did not say anywhere when I made a reservation that this was the case. However, the food and service were great. I would say the courses offered didn 't have much of a flow or connection to each other.

It had a large menu and ample portions. Also, many different wines for sale plus a large display of gifts to purchase. A nice outside patio as well. A good choice.
Just wonderful food served by an amazing waiter, Marcus. The great food is guaranteed but luck is needed to get Marcus. Hope you get that combo!!
The waitress had to be asked for sweetener and mustard (which never came) twice, but otherwise the service was fast and the food good.
As always, good food and reasonable prices. However, no acknowledgement was made of our anniversary.
