Chef Anthony Endy at the Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort

Exquisite Dining at the Alisal

Capturing the essence of California cuisine with the depth of flavor and heartiness of Western ranch cooking, Chef Endy puts forth delectable selections ranging from casual meals by the pool or on the golf course, to fine dining in the Ranch Room. A native of the Santa Ynez Valley, Director of Culinary Operations, Anthony Endy, brings to Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort a reverence for the region’s bounty and a commitment to timeless food made from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients at their peak. He also oversees special dinners and al fresco barbecues among Alisal’s rolling hills—“cooking with a live fire is a special passion of mine,” he explains.

The better the team, the better the guest experience, so I’m constantly pushing us to the next level.

The Ranch Dining Room at the Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort

We welcome you for breakfast everyday. Order from an extensive breakfast menu, or choose from our buffet featuring a seasonal fresh fruit, an assortment of fresh-baked pastries, eggs, bacon, sausages from Solvang, and more local, seasonal selections.

Join us every evening for dinner where we feature Chef Anthony’s custom creations. Our menu changes daily because we use the freshest ingredients from local farms and ranches.

Additional heaters and firepits will be provided inside the tent for your comfort.

Assigned Seating —The Oval Lawn tent and Creekside area are assigned seating.

It’s Tradition— 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 & sport coat to dinner and ladies dress accordingly. If you choose to wear jeans, we ask that your jeans be “dinner dressy” (not frayed and without holes). Keeping our “country-formal” dinner tradition is part of the fun. While dining on the Oval Lawn tent and Creekside area sports coats will not be required.
