Visited The Olde Ship for dinner. The food was definitely not bad....and well, not great either. I would rate the food as: E for edible.

On the above average side were: nice atmosphere, nice British waitress, and there is an actual bar inside the establishment; being an ex-pat from Wisconsin, this was a big plus.

Cheers!

Visited Solvang the 2007 Memorial Day weekend. Dinner at AJ Spurs was rated by the crew as "Gut Busting" , "Obscene" and "Overwhelming". Whatever, the portions were large and the bbq'ed items were tasty. The atmosphere equaled the food. If I were to do it again, I would eat off the bar menu. The sweatbreads were the sleeper on the menu.

If you are to have breakfast, try Olson's Bakery. Olson's actually has good stuff. Try a Kringle or have a traditional Danish Breakfast of bread, cheese and cold cuts.

Previous posts recommend getting some bread, cheese & fruit and camping out at on winery's lawn. If you do not do this for a few hours you are missing a great time. Get a Sprite for the non-drinkers in your party and if you have too much, lay around for a while before getting behind the wheel.

Try the Casbah Cafe in Silverlake:
