Restaurants in Montecito

“Exceptional experience in every way! The ambience is gorgeous and the staff professional from the moment you enter. The room is so well appointed and in December the heaters surround you with the sound of the surf outside. The table placement is perfect so they are close enough to make the atmosphere lively while the experience is very private. Our waiter Mauricio was so attentive but never over bearing. And the food.. well every course is beyond perfection. I love abalone which is almost never on the menu and it was a great treat to start. Next up was the carbonera which we wonderful and we were just warming up for the spectacular santa barbara spiny lobster another home run. We upgraded for the cheese cart at the end which was another fabulous experience and fun to have with the port. We were never rushed which is unusual these days and when we were leaving I noticed a young man ironing the table cloths with such precision and care it just reconfirmed for me that every detail no matter how small is attended too with passion and focus. Definitely one of the best restaurants in California and can't wait to return.”

“Amazing experience! the food, service, and atmosphere are amazing. It was a very good experience. We tried the pearl omakaze, yes it is pricy but it was a very nice experience that we got to try. The food is very fresh and delicious. Great experience all in all. We had fun. Also, the people we dine with were awesome.”

“Food and atmosphere was great. But what really stood out was Lalo, who I imagine was the front of house manager. He was attentive and friendly, greetting and checking on everyone without being overbearing, which can be a difficult balance to hit. Overall an amazing presence in the place. I'm a pro chef who's been in the industry for 20 years and Lalo is one of the best, most professional FOH managers I've come across anywhere, let alone a breakfast place.”

“Service and ambience were good, and the little fireplace for chillier days was a really nice touch. The views were fantastic and definitely a highlight of the visit.

The menu was slightly different than what we saw online, and there weren’t many non-spicy options, which made choosing a bit tricky. The food itself was good, but felt slightly overpriced for what you get.

Overall, a great spot for the atmosphere and views, but check the menu in person before you go if you’re particular about spice!”

“Wonderful French pastries in California with beautiful setting.”

“Excellent tiny ice cream place in Montecito.
They have a couple of dozen flavors (no coffee sigh). I really liked the dark chocolate (but only if you are a lover of bitter dark chocolate). The portions are large and the quality is excellent.
Worth a stop.”
