The Tavern

Chef-driven but not persnickety, The Tavern is Los Olivos’s most coveted culinary destination: a California ranch-inspired restaurant spotlighting flavorful dishes with honest ingredients – many of which are harvested from Mattei’s on-site garden. The tight core menu is elevated yet unfussy, offering grilled dishes and vegetables, classically prepared and accessible, alongside revolving seasonal specials. The exceptional wine list is a singular and definitive draw.

The Shed

Tucked away amongst the olive trees for which the town is named, the Olive Shed is the ultimate wine country pool – sophisticated in spirit but ultimately relaxed with excellent service. A quiet respite at the center of the property, the menus are fresh and approachable; everything you’d want to eat poolside is served.
