Situated in downtown Santa Ynez, indulge in spring-forward dishes at The Victor. Whether you opt for a sun-kissed weekend brunch on either of their two expansive patios or seek to bask in the balmy evenings by the fireplace, The Victor’s new menu invites locals and hotel guests alike to rediscover new dishes or simply unwind with a handcrafted cocktail—shaken or stirred, the choice is yours.
Here are some highlights from the new menu. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made online via Tock. And follow The Victor on Instagram for more updates.
SEA BASS
Light and crisp, the Sea Bass is complemented by a delicate dashi broth (poured tableside), perfectly paired with the freshness of spring.
BEEF TARTARE
Featuring a richness of Wagyu filet complemented by a smoked egg yolk, The Victor has elevated the traditional Beef Tartare and paired it with bone marrow, crispy capers, and perfectly grilled sourdough.
ROASTED PORK CHOP
This 10-ounce Roasted Pork Chop is plated with fresh greens of spring onion and the golden glow of a grilled pineapple relish.
TEMPURA VEGETABLES
Sake-battered to perfection, the Tempura Vegetables are a great option for those looking for a refreshing crunch. Pro tip: this dish is vegetarian.
