“Great little spot. The staff was attentive and very friendly, felt welcome the moment we entered. The food was quick, fresh, and expertly cooked.

Can't wait to try the udon next time!“

“1st time at this venue. All I can say is, how could you possibly improve? From the moment we stepped on the property, your entire staff was welcoming, polite and on their game. Everyone treated the guests with the utmost personal service as if they were long time friends. Job well done Rincon. Not to mention the food was beyond delicious!! Would definitely recommend Events by Rincon.“

“Best restaurant in Santa Barbara county .“

“This restaurant is in the Best Western hotel where we're staying and was a convenient way to start the day. The prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. Nothing particularly outstanding but it was much nicer than we were expecting for a Best Western. Everything was cooked just right with plenty of flavor. Be sure to try the house ketchup, it has a special tasty tanginess. The restaurant itself is cozy and clean with a nice rustic design.“

“Great spot for a quick burger near the beach.“

“My daughter and I stopped by for a treat at Jeannine’s! We were treated like family by Donna the manager and her wonderful staff and felt like royalty! We had lattes in beautiful mugs, a gorgeous slice of fresh cake, peach Bellinis and a breakfast burrito.
This is a “must go” for a sweet and memorable visit and great atmosphere!!!“

“The food here was very delicious, I highly suggest their pork chop and trout. Very unique combinations and full of flavor. Everything was great except for how crowded it. Just believe it may be busy during rush times. I would highly suggest making a stop here and do not forget their dessert menu.“

“Great crab cakes and the service was top notch.“

“If you're searching for a quiet meal on the beach, this place has few rivals. We came here for our anniversary, and LOVED the rooms, the peace and quiet, the row of chaise lounges at water's edge, the restaurant on site, and the gracious continental breakfast. The management was chill, and we couldn't ask for more.“

“Amazing ambiance, one of the most beautiful properties I've ever seen. The speakeasy next door is also really cool. I'd love to stay at the property one day. Service everywhere was incredible, except.... our server made a number of minor mistakes (brought the wrong soup, brought the wrong water, and forgot 2 of our apps and had to re order) so that's why I brought service down to 3 stars, and the price is very expensive even for Montecito so you can't say there's value lol but it's totally worth the luxury experience and we probably just experienced one off mistakes.“

“Great bartenders who make amazing drinks. The best pork chop in town!“

“If you want a posh, beach side cocktail experience, do not sleep on the Beach Bar. Yes, it is very expensive. If you go to the beach in Montecito expecting to find bargains, you are in the wrong place. The drinks were good but very pricy. We tried a variety of tacos and they were all good. The service was sharp and friendly. And of course the beach view is what you are paying for. If you are looking for an upscale cocktail experience to impress your friends, hustle your Bentley over to the Beach Bar and go nuts. We will return.“

“Long life to this place ! What a discovery! 🤩
I had already been to Gulfstream and loved it, and this place is just as amazing. Food, quality, and service are a solid 10/10. Everything was served in just 5 minutes, and although the salad came out at the same time as the main dishes, when we asked for the check they told us they wouldn’t charge us for it because it had been “late.” Honestly, we hadn’t even noticed! Such a thoughtful gesture we even asked them to please include it because we enjoyed it.

It’s the little details like this that make a restaurant stand out from the rest. Definitely coming back!“

“This restaurant is always a lovely visit. From the staff, food, and ambience you cannot go wrong. DIEGO is absolutely wonderful, and we have had the pleasure of having him most of the time we visit. He’s the best and makes our experience at the Rosewood resort more enjoyable! The Revere Room is lucky to have him as part of its staff!“

“Our dinner was delicious, we started with cocktails a glass of Pinot noir our server recommended, didn't know it was $45 a glass but it was fantastic. We had the filet mignon and Lucky' chopped salad (split) and the Cajun salmon. Our server was attentive and looking forward to returning.“

“This is an interesting restaurant. They sell furniture, so that's different. It's very clean, bright, and with quiet. The menu is uninspired, but the food was good. If you're looking for well executed basic entrees, this is the place. My only gripe is the prices. Entrees run mid 40s to mid 60s. At those kind of prices, I expect an exceptional menu as that is exceptionally executed. While it was good, it's not at a level that justifies the prices. It seems the owners are more interested in the restaurant being a posh experience than they are in it being a culinary gold standard. I imagine there are plenty of people who are fine with this.“
