Great food and ambiance! We ate outside near heat lamps. Food was amazing (of course sea food was incredible) and service was top notch. No complaints and highly recommend!

Service was good but my bone in ribeye was 80% fat. Waiter never asked how it was, so your mileage may vary 2 stars because they had a vegan option for my lady.

Way too loud, horrible atmosphere and uncomfortable stained chairs, unwelcoming front staff, okay to mediocre food. Definitely not worth the money.

Overpriced, even for "fancy hotel" price. Slow service on a slow night. You're better off Ubering to Santa Barbara to get decent service and food. Bad experience overall.

WE arrived and took our seat and were not offered any drink menu to choose drinks We then waited 1hr 50 minutes to receive our main meal and the beef was very tough carrots and mac and cheese not cooked through I would Say the worst meal and service I've had in a long time. This restaurant although in the grounds of Ritz Carlton must not be a ritz Carlton operated restaurant because the service and food here is horrible best to avoid especially when you look at the prices both service and food should be a lot better

I absolutely loved this restaurant! The service was exceptional, and the food was outstanding. Everything was perfectly seasoned, and the portions were generous—no complaints there. We especially loved the short rib and steak. I highly recommend visiting Angel Oak, even if you're not staying at the Ritz-Carlton.

Nicest view you could imagine. Service was excellent!! Enjoyed appetizers and two delicious main courses. The scallops and fresh fish were perfect and we added a side of yummy Brussels sprouts. We casually mentioned to waitress we had just become grandparents this week and when presenting the check she gave us a beautiful plush Ritz whale for our grandson. The service had already exceeded expectations. Very attentive. Highly recommend outdoor seating with a view of the Pacific that is amazing.

First of all the service is excellent. Belle the hostess was friendly. Our servers Alan and Elle were really great. The ambiance of the restaurant is great and the piano music was so nice! As far as the food goes: The poached lobster was delicious. The coconut lobster bisque was good but needed a little more seasoning/spice. The truffle pasta was ok but probably wouldn't order again. My husband said his steak was cold and lacking in seasoning. The prices are high and therefore expectations high.

Enjoyed a nice meal, but it's the views and ambience that make Angel Oak great! Enjoy a sunset dinner and soak up the views. The food was good but very typical steakhouse. The service was also fair, a little slow from the kitchen. Overall a good meal but a bit overpriced. Go for the views- maybe drinks and dessert.
This is a must stop if you are on your way through or to the Ritz Carlton Bacara. The hostess welcomed us and made us feel special. We were fortunate enough to get to experience a live piano with our spectacular view of the sunset. The ambiance hits on all levels and oh yeaa then the food. What a treasure of delicacy and presentation. I highly recommend the Cesar salad to start with the scallops and finish it off with the chocolate sphere.

This is an amazing spot. Make sure you arrive around Sunset. Otherwise it gets dark outside ( there is not much to see in the ocean.) Restaurant has an amazing setting overlooking the ocean. It's contemporary designed with a center bar — excellent location for entertaining groups and also having a nice romantic dinner. The service was great. We were greeted and seated. Our Waiter was very kind. I won't be able to say that for the food . The flavors were flat. I started with the wedge salad - tasted like ranch with a couple of crumbles of blue cheese - no bacon to find. I had the ribeye Oscar. And I got the crab and sauce separately to be able to taste the steak. Unfortunately not much flavor. I gave up the tenderness of fillet for ribeye flavor, but I was disappointed.. My wife tried to steelhead. She liked the preparation nevertheless flavors were flat again. She also tried the tuna tartare and she mentioned it was too salty. I think the soy sauce. So I will go there for the views, but they still taste like a hotel food.

The restaurant looks beautiful, but I have been calling for over a week and no one picks up and doesn't return your call when you leave a message--I have called at different times and every single day. If they can't return a call for a potential customer, it makes me wonder how the restaurant is run.
