Dave’s Place, Restaurant & Lounge

Dave’s Place is more than a restaurant. It is a tribute to local flavor, lasting friendships, and a shared vision for great food. Inside the retro modern Village Inn Hotel in Vandenberg Village, you will find a fresh and flavorful take on California cuisine with a touch of mid century charm.
Our kitchen highlights locally sourced ingredients, regional wines, and handcrafted cocktails that celebrate the spirit of the Central Coast.
