New American Restaurants near Montecito, CA

“We had a wonderful brunch yesterday! The food was great, the service was excellent, and everyone was so kind. We especially appreciated them bringing out a special birthday sweet for our son it made his celebration extra memorable. You might even spot a celebrity, just as we did! Zoe Saldana and her family were dining there. :) Highly recommended!“

“This restaurant is so pretty and we loved our waitress. We went on Sat night and dined outside. Food was delicious and we did not wait long at all. I was shocked at the bad review I had read earlier-I'm glad I didn't listen to it. We will go back next time we are in town. Bar is very lively, but the outdoor seating is pretty and quiet. My mojito was one of the best I have ever had!“

“Food is fantastic and so delicious!“

“Our server,Cole R, was awesome-very informed and articulate. Food was amazing-cannot overstate the incredible preparation and presentation of the prime rib!“

“A great place for celebrating! You always have a great experience at The Palace“

“Friendly staff. Great Happy Hour specials.“

“What a great find! It was quiet on a Sunday night and the service was attentive. The fruit salad with burrata was unique and delicious. The branzino was fresh and flaky with a lovely lemon sauce. The scallops were prepared perfectly and the harissa sauce had just the right amount of zing. The desserts looked delicious but we were too full to try them. Next time!“

“It was a really nice spot. Wait staff was really helpful even though I don't eat out much and had some dietary restrictions. Restaurant is nice with comfortable and clean facilities. Portions are somewhat small for the money but that is to be expected at a place like this.“

“If you're looking to make a lasting impression on your special someone, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. With its refined ambiance, exquisite cuisine, and impressive wine selection, it offers a truly exceptional dining experience. Having had the pleasure of dining at numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, I can confidently attest that this one stands out from the rest. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by beautiful gardens and breathtaking views, leading to private bungalows. The staff's warm hospitality and welcoming smiles further enhance the experience. For a truly unforgettable high-end dining experience, this venue is an absolute must.“

“The pan-seared peppercorn-crusted filet mignon with potatoes au gratin and sautéed asparagus were as good as I've had anywhere. Thick, small and perfectly cooked medium-rare. And the thinly-sliced tomato salad was the perfect starter. We brought our own wine, but their in-house selection is outstanding. The staff were all extremely courteous and helpful. Our waiter, Dominic, was professional and attentive, and we never felt rushed. We enjoyed a two and a half hour anniversary dinner in a lovely outdoor setting and will definitely revisit when we're back in Santa Barbara! Thanks to everyone at Bouchon for a very special evening.“

“Everyone is Very pleasant“

“I've been going to the Blue Owl with my daughters since it opened. The food is fantastic. The vibe is the closest to being in a late night New York eater. I always feel home here. And of course I love the Tuesday night open mic comedy. A staple in the Santa Barbara Comedy Scene.“

“Excelente atención , buenas ubicación“

“Wonderful food. Friendly staff. Beautiful atmosphere.“

“I’ll be honest. I could have eaten anything in Santa Barbara. I hadn’t eaten anything since 9am and it was 5pm when I arrived in Santa Barbara. I walked one mile away because of the great things I heard about Jill’s Place. And you know what? I was not disappointed! I was stoked and impressed greatly 🥰😁 I had two wonderful, dazzling, and sweet waitresses (lucky me!). I was served a yummy chicken breast sandwich and it was the best one I had ever! No seriously! It wasn’t too salty and the bread was golden brown and ready to be munched on. The tator tots had the perfect texture. It’s almost as I had food from some amazing restaurant, which, hello, I did 😅 The place was packed, since it was Fiesta, but I imagine it always is. It sucks I live 45 minutes from this great establishment. The atmosphere was fun and a little country, but I love that. It’s casual, and not some elegant place like Lucky’s is. I’d still show up in a suit, if I could and would. Definitely check this place out and ask for the two blonde sisters who work there. They’ll dazzle you with their charm and diction 😉 Hope to be back again one day!“

“If you are looking for an Amazing And Beautiful event venue for a wedding reception, a birthday party, a bachelorette, or any occasion venue. I Highly Highly recommend State and Fig in Santa Barbara! From planning to execution, Patrick and Serina made my niece’s wedding Perfect! I don’t use Perfect lightly, as I am known to be critical and a perfectionist especially when it comes to events. They made my niece's wedding planning experience so easy, from booking the venue to providing Customized menu options, and ALWAYS received quick responses any time we had questions as well as added personal touches of their own to the wedding. Serina and Patrick were extremely helpful, detailed, and knowledgeable and knew exactly what we wanted and how they could help. On the wedding day, The whole staff was very friendly, attentive, communicative, accommodating, Extremely helpful, and responsive, from assisting with centerpiece decorations, to serving hors d’oeuvres Always with a smile, making sure Each and Every guest was taken care of throughout the night, I was very impressed! Now for the food, EXCEPTIONAL, the taste was phenomenal, the meat was tender, the salmon was cooked perfectly, Nothing was over/undercooked, so delicious and the guests would not stop talking about how good the hors d’oeuvre and main courses were! Thank you, Serina, Patrick, and your staff from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make my niece’s wedding day beyond wonderful, and Perfect! We certainly will be back even for a weekend getaway! 😊“

“We stopped at Sam’s To Go Sandwiches on Meig on a whim. We are certainly glad we did! This unassuming sandwich shop was clean, the owner was so pleasant, and the sandwiches were fresh and tasty! I recommend a stop at this small, non-chain shop. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Guest in town and after time at the Natural History museum decided to try out their Seafood Sunday event. Reality was just a seafood special - this time shrimp ceviche. The shrimp were plump in a tomato based served with crisps. Also ordered the tuna poke, which was more of a chopped tuna versus the hand cut cubes I have experienced in the past. Recommend the brocollini served with parmesean. Drinks were tasty and was informed of happy hour that I will put on my calendar to experience. Manager came out and greeted us making the experience even more personal and welcoming.“

“Had a fantastic night at islands! Clay Shuck is the most amazing worker I've ever seen, based on what I saw definitely employee of the month! Checks all the boxes - facey, smart, and kind. Ladies check this place out, Clay Shuck is a snag!“

“Great food and service. Beautiful location.“

“Intermezzo by Wine Cask is a true gem! The restaurant boasts a stunning atmosphere with gorgeous decor and perfectly set lighting, creating a wonderful ambiance. The service we received was truly phenomenal – our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience even better. We tried the pizza, fries, and chicken, and each dish was outstanding. The quality of the food was evident, and everything tasted incredible. This was an amazing experience, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend!“

“Food, service & location is amazing. Blackened halibut sandwich was delicious.“

“So sad to leave Santa Barbara but before I do I wanted to check out @shopbrunch . Got some chilaquiles with crunchy chips and an egg, cheese bacon sandwich with some aioli sauce I think 🤔 which was superb and a ton of avocado and a side of waffles. I like the atmosphere especially on a nice day like today and the hostess were super nice and friendly. Hopefully you can check them out.

“Great place great beer and great food“

“We went there for date night and everything was perfect - the service by Jennifer, the ambience, good vibes & music that wasn't too loud. You could have conversation and hear each other. We ordered the bone marrow, which was by far the best we've ever had. And the steak & frites with a side of brussel sprouts (again very tasty and well prepared). For a dessert we had an amazing baked Alaska, flambé style! Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the Knock and we will definitely go back many more times.“

“Fantastic food and outdoor party possibilities! Service was slow, 2 bartenders with a line out 2 doors and waitstaff no where to be found. I’d definitely return maybe not on a weekend night, but the food and drinks were great.“

“Great place great vibe! We stopped for a quick drink coming back again next in Santa Barbara“

“Great pizzeria, catered for all of us including my son who has allergies to gluten, milk and Soya! Chef was super helpful and has a great social media following, making pizzas in all sorts of fun shapes, he even made the garlic bread in a heart shape. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a great pizza.“
