A short sojourn up to Solvang starts with a check-in at the lavish Langham, housing the much-lauded Mad & Vin.
They start with so many stars for their easy accommodation of our noisy toddler, serving us in the "bar area" so we can lounge around on the opposite side of the lobby.
The Ceviche is a fabulous starter - the fish is super fresh. A beautiful presentation, and their house-made hot sauce adds to the flavor without overpowering the fish.
Korean Short Ribs channel the style with none of the rich sauce that defines the barbecue. But the ribs are a tender cut, perfectly grilled, with an infusion of bulgogi flavor.
The toddler didn’t eat her Sliders so we had to help. They're the best thing on this menu and easily the best sliders I’ve had to date. The fluffy brioche bun adds flavor but doesn’t bury the beef, and these patties taste dry-aged - the flavor is so full. Even the side of fries is fantastic.
A lovely place, an enjoyable meal, generous portions for the quality of food. It's too posh for kids to dine, but I still wouldn't skip it because their bar-area service is superb.
