Evolution and Growth

Parents are proud when they see their children grow and mature to become the type of adults we always wanted them to be. We all have a vision for our kids and during their teen years we sometimes wonder if that vision will ever be realized. Many times, though, it works out where they exceed our expectations. For instance, my son Jordan, has been working with us in the kitchen of the Wine Cottage Bistro for almost a year now. He has always loved cooking and is very good at it but now he has the opportunity to work with one of the greatest Chefs in the area. Chef Troy is mentoring Jordan just like Bradley Ogden of the Bay Area mentored him. Teaching him the fine art of honoring the food and having a passion for what is served. It is exciting to see your kids doing something that they truly love.

The Wine Cottage Bistro is just like a child. We have a vision for what we want the WCB to grow up to be but for a time during the last year we were going through our teen years. There were times when our growing pains were visible and we didn't execute like we wanted to. For some of our guests that only gave us one chance, and we didn't get it exactly right, we want to apologize and invite you to give us another chance. For our loyal customers, our friends, we want to say thank you for seeing us through our first year, supporting us, and spreading via word of mouth how much you love the Wine Cottage Bistro. Your reward is a place that you can be truly proud of.

But now, the Wine Cottage Bistro is entering a new age, we are maturing. Our vision is being exceeded and we are becoming something really great. The food and presentation is amazing, thanks to the talented Chef Troy and the service is unmatched, local hospitality. So come in and see for yourself, the Wine Cottage Bistro is becoming the best dining destination in the Santa Maria Valley.
