Capturing the essence of California cuisine with the depth of flavor and heartiness of Western ranch cooking, Alisal Ranch puts forth delectable selections ranging from casual meals by the pool or on the golf course, to elevated dining in the Ranch Room. The Alisal has a reverence for the region’s bounty and a commitment to timeless food made from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients at their peak. Besides daily dining, Alisal Ranch hosts twice-yearly BBQ Bootcamps and California Ranch Cookouts with guest chefs.

Ranch Room
The Ranch Room is open for both breakfast and dinner.

Order from an extensive breakfast menu, or choose from the buffet featuring a seasonal fresh fruit, an assortment of fresh-baked pastries, eggs, bacon, sausages from Solvang, and more local, seasonal selections. Each evening dinner here features custom creations. The menu changes daily to showcase the freshest ingredients from local farms and ranches.

Since the opening of the Ranch in 1946, it has been custom to “dress up” for dinner on the Ranch. This tradition means that gentlemen 16 years and older wear a collared shirt and sport coat to dinner and ladies dress accordingly. If guests choose to wear jeans, The Alisal asks that they be “dinner dressy” (not frayed and without holes). Keeping the “country-formal” dinner tradition is part of the fun.

The Chuckwagon Grill & Waggin’ Tongue Bar
Lunch is served daily at the Chuckwagon Grill, and guests can dine poolside on the sunny patio. Next door the Waggin’ Tongue Bar features local wines by the glass or bottle, local beers on tap, and a full selection of spirits. The Chuckwagon Grill is located adjacent to the pool and next to the Cottonwood Room.

The Oak Room
The Oak Room is a favorite meeting spot offering a full bar, local beers on tap, and wines from the local AVAs and beyond. The Oak Room has a selection of appetizers available as well, and coffee drinks are available here, too each morning. Adults only after 9 p.m.
