Went there for the first time to celebrate NYE. It is a mid-scale steakhouse with a nostalgic, rustic vibe. The restaurant is laid out well for privacy and large groups and has romantic lighting. I ordered the fillet mignon cooked medium and it was fantastic! It had a delicious char on the sear and perfectly pink and tender in the center. The pinquito beans were probably my favorite item but I am a crazy bean lover. The wine was delightful and I am still craving more of the carrot cake.

Food was great but the service made it even better!! Our server was Alex and he was beyond helpful. Always made sure we had anything we needed and even gave great recommendations. I would request Alex every time.

This is a favorite for date night. Whenever we come here, we have such a great time. The service is fantastic and the food is delicious. Restaurant and bathrooms are super clean and nicely decorated. We love the New York Strip and the prawn cocktail, the roasted chicken, and the loaded baked potatoes. Everything is high quality and well-cooked and seasoned. A nice assortment of choices for different tastes. Everything we have had here is so delicious, we enjoy every moment of our meal. They have a full bar with seasonal drinks to try, and we had a lot of fun sitting in the bar to have drinks and an appetizer. The only thing I dislike is that they make their own sour mix for drinks. Often when restaurants do that the sour mix is bitter and overpowering. This was so strong you couldn't taste the drink, just the bitterness. So I would recommend avoiding the sour mix.

Alex and the crew delivered outstanding service. Thank you for the recommendation; the T-bone was exceptional.

Far Western Tavern has such a great vibe inside: warm, stylish interiors that really set the mood. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We were pleasantly surprised that the shrimp cocktail, salad, steaks, pinto beans, and garlic bread all came included for one price, such a great value. On top of that, they have an excellent wine selection to pair with everything. Highly recommend!

FWT is historic and an important member of our community. As a regular, it’s nice to have a place to go for special occasions, dinner with colleagues or customers, host visiting family and friends, or pop in after a long week. The staff is great with many feeling like friends. The menu has crowd pleasers and comfort food. Don’t sleep on the artichoke dip, steak bites or the wedge salad. And the seasonal desserts are excellent. The wine list and cocktail options are a local treasure and whoever is managing the beverage program from the taps to the tequila, must be a real genius. Already looking forward to the next time I can say “want to go to the Far?

I frequently travel to California for work, and until now, I hadn’t found a restaurant that truly stood out—until I discovered this incredible gem! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the building’s stunning architecture and beautifully curated decor. You can tell that every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a cohesive and welcoming atmosphere. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. It’s hands down the best I’ve had in the area. The steak was cooked to perfection, the mac and cheese was heavenly—rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor—and the wide selection of drinks ensured there was something for everyone. The variety and quality of the menu are unmatched. The staff was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the dining experience exceptional. I honestly can’t say enough positive things about this restaurant. It’s clear that passion and care go into every aspect of it. I’m already looking forward to my next visit when I’m back in the area. This place has truly set the bar high for the local dining experiences!

The tri-tip is amazing. It's like coming home having it. Reminds me so much of my childhood. This place is *not* fast food. It's an experience worth having regardless. If you want to try Santa Maria BBQ and can't find a grill on the side of the street, this is a good bet alternative. My least favorite part: the beans. They under cooked them and there was not enough *flavor* in them. Considering these are a staple around here I expected them to do better. The bay shrimp? Super fun and cute! I love the crunch of the celery The salad: not just your basic Santa Maria ranch and lettuce salad, had a fancy watermelon radish slice The bread: properly wood fire roasted The Ravioli: amazing! Pretty sure they hand make these and my mouth waters remembering them The lemon meringue tart: so pretty! Very big,share this guy. Ice tea alert! Delicious 🤤 they gave me tons of refills Fun deco, def loud and overwhelming, so wear your loops if you are a fellow autistic

We recently visited Far Western Tavern steakhouse and had a fantastic time! The filet mignon my wife ordered was cooked perfectly, and my 14 oz New York steak was mouthwatering. The food was outstanding, and the drinks were delightfully strong. Highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience!
