Mad & Vin

Everything was great. We had the short rib, watermelon salad, green olives, and the soup of the day, which turned out to be cheeseburger soup. Surprisingly, it was really good. It even came with its own potato chips on top, which made it even more fun. The food was fresh and well-balanced, and the service matched the quality. Nothing felt overdone or fussy, just solid flavors in a nice setting. If you’re in Solvang and want a reliable, well-executed meal, Mad & Vin is a great choice. Also, get the soup if it’s cheeseburger day. Seriously!

My boyfriend and I celebrated his birthday here, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We started with the calamari and two mixed drinks. The calamari was perfectly cooked and served with jalapeños, onions, and lemon slices that added a bright, flavorful kick to the dish. For drinks, we tried the Mad Captain—smooth and flavorful—and the Blood Orange Sour, which was even better, with a bold, citrusy finish we loved. For our main course, we ordered the Braised Short Ribs and the Filet. The short ribs were incredibly tender and full of flavor. While the filet was cooked slightly more than we requested, it was still tender and very enjoyable. To finish off the evening, we shared the Butterscotch Crème Brûlée. Our server made the moment special by adding a birthday candle and singing Happy Birthday—such a thoughtful touch. The dessert was just as impressive as the rest of the meal: rich, creamy, and perfectly caramelized. The staff were warm, attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The ambiance was romantic and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a birthday celebration.

Their Happy Hour Daily 4p-6p.. Mad & Vin is located inside the Landsby Inn . I went straight to the bar.. I ordered their Happy Hour Draft Aguas Santa Imperial Messican Lager with Fries cooked in Duck Fat .... DELICIOUS... my tab came out to $11.96 USD..!!!!!!

Tried this place for the first time and it wasn’t disappointed. Love their outdoor terrace and its dog friendly restaurant. From the patio I can see like a little area where there are seats and fire pits for you to drink wine and chill. Their calamari dish was so crunchy and flavorful as well as my salmon poke dish. Short rib and cheesecake were very good as well. I wouldn’t mind coming back when I visit this town again.

We really enjoyed their food and drinks. They have a daily happy hour deal from 4-6pm ($4 off bar menu, $3 off wine and cocktails, and $2 off draft beer). We ordered some calamari and duck fat fries along with some beer and cocktails. I loved their jalapeño cocktail called “lava lamp”. The atmosphere was great and very welcoming. They had open seating anywhere outside. You do have to order with them inside but they’ll bring it out to you once ready.

The food was very good. The salmon was excellent and enough to share. We also had the brussel sprouts as a starter. One bourbon drink, water to drink, tip, tax, and we were at $100. Good , but a bit expensive.

This is a restaurant and bar inside the Landsby hotel. We were looking for a place to have a drink, and the place we were staying at recommended this place. We ended up having a nice table in the lobby area of the hotel, and it was a cozy spot to have a drink, and we enjoyed the ambience very much.

A local spot in the heart of Dutch-inspired town, Solvang, Mad & Vin is a breath of fresh and farm from the surrounding area in The Landsby hotel. Locals get free corkage, otherwise bring in your favorite bottle or pick from their selection. The portions are LARGE, so don't let the cost scare you. You're definitely getting what you pay for (in all the right ways). We had the burger with duck fat fries, and the stuffed poblanos. Looking for a good, sizable burger? Here you go. Want a flavorful dish and don't mind if it's vegetarian? NAILED IT with the stuffed poblano. Harrison was the cherry on top of a great meal. Attentive, helpful, and kind. Kudos to him and the restaurant.
