The Nichols brothers, Matt & Jeff, grew up in Ames, Iowa where their love of cooking, good food and a sense of family and community was nurtured. In the summer of 1996, they opened the original Brothers Restaurant in Solvang, which they soon outgrew.
In 2002, the brothers brought fine dining to Mattei's Tavern and are proud to have been the caretakers of that venerable spot until they opened Sides Hardware & Shoes - a Brothers Restaurant in Los Olivos in 2012.The 2013 opening of their second Santa Barbara Wine Country restaurant, Brothers Restaurant at the Red Barn in Santa Ynez, allows them to offer visitors and locals alike great food, wine and hospitality.

Jc's Bar
Report
JC's Bar has a history that goes back to 1968 when owners Lloyd and Clara Borkman remodeled the restaurant and founded The Brand Room, creating a popular meeting place for all the local ranchers. To inaugurate the bar, the Borkmans invited the ranchers to a party where they could bring in their irons and mark their brands on the specially designated beams for posterity.
Menus
Report
Specializing in local wines from the Central Coast, Matt Nichols has curated a list of nearly 80 wines, nearly all from Santa Barbara County, along with a selection of Champagne. The list is diverse, concentrating on the local AVAs. Matt Nichols is also developing a comprehensive library of wines that he has secured from a handful of local winemakers and friends for the Red Barn cellar.
Wine Country
Report
We're the "other" wine country. With more than 24,000 acres of vineyards and over 100 wineries, most of which are small, boutique and family-owned, we think there is something here for just about anybody. Four distinctly unique appellations, superb food, leisure, recreation, art, history and most of all - open spaces and friendly people.
