We took a little day trip to Lompoc and stopped at Dave’s Place for lunch. The Chicken Pesto sandwich was amazing, as was the Chef Salad! The staff were very friendly and attentive. The hotel it’s connected to looked super retro cool and made us want to come back and stay. Get out and check them out!

The food was outstanding, and both my mother and I received generous portions for lunch. We both had plenty leftover to take home. The service and atmosphere was outstanding as well. We live in Santa Maria and we will definitely come back. It is worth the trip.

Great dinner at Dave’s Place in the Village Inn. Started with the artichoke appetizer which was expertly prepared and presented. The wine menu was super local! The strawberry and arugula salad with tritip was excellent. The prime rib was melt in your mouth good. Servers were very attentive and courteous. Definitely will be back and will bring more people. They also have separate rooms for private events.

Whoever rated this place a 4.7 is either lying or has taste buds made of cardboard. This food was tragic. One bite felt like a personal attack, and the rest went straight into the trash where it belonged. I called to give them a chance to fix it, and Steve acted like customer service was optional. Rude, argumentative, and completely unhelpful. Between the dumpster-tier food and the attitude, this place is a hard NO. Save your money and your stomach. Don’t get the patty melt, $40 down the drain

First visit. Came for lunch at around 12:30. Very pleasant environment with lots of windows looking out at the hotel grounds. A large bar area with no bartender at lunch but you can sit and be served.
Food:
I was craving a ruben sandwich so ordered this with side cole slaw and ice tea. Sandwich was good size but the corn beef was very dry and not that tender. Russian dressing was more a mayo with maybe some ketchup mixed in. Not authentic.
Service
Service was bare minimum. Took my order, dropped off my food and bolted. Never asked if there was anything else needed. Never checked back (really needed mustard), never refilled ice tea.
Dropped check without a thank you. I asked for a to go box and it took so long for her to return, I finally got up to pay my bill at the front desk and was ready to leave when she finally returned.
Overall, a nice variety of items on the menu and I will probably give it another try. Breakfast menu looked good.

My family and I stop here often. They recognize us and always greet us warmly. There is paper on the tables for kids to color on which my son loves.

Our waiter Jim is the best dinner server at Dave’s Place. He was prepared with excellent recommendations, efficient service and a super positive attitude. All the food was fresh & delicious!

Very disappointed with our experience. We waited about 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us and seated us. After being seated, it took another 15+ minutes for someone to come by to ask for drinks, and nearly 30 minutes before our food order was taken.
I was looking for a vegetarian option for lunch, but there were none available on the menu. I ended up ordering a chicken sandwich, which was very bland and not worth the $20+ price. On top of that, none of the staff members seemed welcoming — I didn’t see a single smile, which made the experience feel even more uninviting. Overall, very disappointing.

I’m late on my review but a few months ago, had late lunch with my co workers for a meeting. This restaurant was not my pick. Well everyone was served their lunch while I waited for my tri tip sandwich. Basically had to ask for a box to go because everyone was done with their food. The tri tip was dry. I was disappointed with the food and the service. I am being generous with the second stars. I will stick to Valle Eatery + Bar. That is the place to go!

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food here. We ordered the healthy start breakfast and tri-tip sandwich, they were both excellent. Easily the one of the best restaurants near the Vandenberg Air Force Base with a beautiful garden and spacious dining room. Also the only one in Lompoc on Open Table!
