“Had lunch at Local in Montecito a couple of Sundays ago, and wow—what an upgrade! It looks like they have a new chef, and the menu changes are above and beyond. Every new dish I tried was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. You can really taste the difference in quality and creativity.

On top of that, the ambiance is fantastic—warm, inviting, and the perfect spot for a relaxed yet elevated dining experience.

Highly recommend checking out the new menu. This place was already great, but now it’s on a whole new level! Can’t wait to come back.“

“An iconic place well known locally as one of our finest restaurants. Its a steak place so have never had anything but steak here and it does not disappoint. Started with french onion soup and ended with the Grand Marnier souffle which was amazing- I always get it every time we dine here. Steaks are usually hot and cooked to perfection and service is plenty and attentive. Highly recommend.“

“Server at the restaurant was extremely rude. Not a big option of choices for food with people who have fish and shellfish allergies so don't go there to eat

Dietary restrictions: None they cross-contaminate everything so if you have allergies, do not visit“
