"In 2024, chef Budi Kazali revived his restaurant the Gathering Table, which closed in 2022, in Solvang. The Gathering Table 2.0 takes cues from its first iteration inside the Ballard Inn, serving a shareable menu with Asian and French influences, with locally sourced produce, seafood, and meats. A sesame oil-inflected Caesar salad to pair with Korean-style chicken wings or canonical miso black cod is an excellent way to go for dinner; the restaurant also hosts weekend brunch, with dishes like cinnamon roll French toast and eggs Benedict with miso-glazed ham." - Nicole Adlman
