Most scenic restaurant space of all time. Have a drink at the bar, then spend the rest of the night telling everyone about it. Exceptional service, conversation and mixology. We had three of the best cocktails ever created. An elevated espresso martini with some citrus flair, a wild Japanese whiskey drink with local honeycomb, and the most elegant margarita on planet earth. A must try.

Our experience dining at Caruso was exceptional from the moment we were seated. The service, the ambiance, location, and of course the food. We went with the 4 course dinner menu and the flavors, and presentation were nothing short of fantastic!. This was a Birthday celebration I will remember for some time. Highly recommend.

Located on the beach side of the Rosewood Miramar hotel, Caruso's fine dining experience is probably my latest favorite Everything was perfect. The food, the service and the atmosphere was impeccable.

Came for Christmas dinner and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Service was attentive but not overbearing. The restaurant also had a really pleasant scent - looking forward to returning sometime soon.

We recently dined at carusos while staying at the rosewood. We had a really good time. While we waited for our table we got a drink at the bar and I had the best margarita I have ever had! It's called the causos margarita and it's made with clase azul it's simply amazing! The service was great both in the bar area and main dining area. The food was fantastic and the ambience was great! I can def see how this place has 1 Michelin star! It's fantastic! Highly Recommend: Carusos Margarita Mascot 2014 Wine Chefs Welcome Bites Hand Pulled Burrata Bread Service Cacio E Pepe (This is amazing!) Hibachi Grilled Tenderloin We will def be back at Carusos next time we are in SB for dinner!

this meal felt like a dream! as soon as we pulled up to the valet we were transported somewhere magical. our table on the deck overlooking the ocean with perfectly seasonal, local food was amazing. There were surprises in every course and in every bite.Also I don’t drink, but my partner ordered a glass of the wine that was recommended to pair with my pasta so I had a sip — it was transformative. So if you’re looking to splurge i imagine the wine pairing is worth it.Parking: the valet is free for caruso clients
The staff is very accommodating and always goes out of their way to assist or answer questions. Top-notch service!!! The setting is amazing; the sea and water are both within a short walk. What else does a vacationer need? Even a local like me?

"Dara was great. We had a lovely table close to the ocean.All the wait staff were very attentive and we were so grateful they gave up their Christmas to make ours special. They definitely earned their Michelin Star!!!"
Excellent experience for our Christmas diner. Fixed price menu was excellent. Service could have been more attentive for the wine selections and recommendations. A great experience not to be missed if you are in Santa Barbara especially around the holidays.

Was staying at the Rosewood Miramar for a work trip and popped in for dinner one night with some coworker. There were 5 of us total and service was impeccable. Our meal was 4 courses with a couple added on treats like chef welcome bites, and additional dessert bites, I chose to have burrata for my first course. Creamy and delectable with a fall flare and flavor pallet. Next was the cacio y Pepe and I added black truffles which is truly the only way to experience that dish. It was truly devine. Next I did the tenderloin and veggies. The meat was cooked fine, but I wasn't a fan of the sauce... but it was still great. Finished with the honeycomb dessert... amazing!If you are in the area and wanting a Michelin Italian experience with a gorgeous view of the pacific, stop here. Be sure to make a reservation with a view and go around sunset.

Spectacular experience in ever way. One of the most beautiful resorts I’ve ever seen. And the Thanksgiving dinner was exquisite and memorable in every way. I’m over the moon about Caruso’s. Cannot recommend it highly enough!!!
