15 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Montecito

“We just came back from Europe last July. We dined in The Ledbury by Chef Brett Graham, and at The Dorchester by Alain Ducasse, also at four different Michelin Star restaurants in Montpellier, and finally at Bistrot64 by Chef Giacomo Zezza and La Pergola by Chef Heinz Beck in Rome. I am not listing all these restaurants to brag but just to make the readers aware that I am a food enhusiast (in my opinion). Dining at Caruso’s again, my impression? The over-all experience was SUPERB! It was really a THREE-Michelin Star experience! Whenever we dine in these kinds of restaurants, I am always searching for the surprise effect in my palate. One of my favorite movies is the cartoon about a Rat Chef, Ratatouille, when he was describing the mélange of food in his palate and fireworks appeared in his mind, and when the scary critic was brought back to his childhood after he had the first bite of this simple peasant dish ratatouille, those are some scenes that come to mind. The meals are like that in Caruso, they are exceptional! Of course, I have to mention the impeccable service of everybody particularly of our main waiter Alejandro and his assistant Ana, and the Sommelier of the night, forgot his name but he looks like Tom Cruise. And the ambiance? Oh, our view was the beautiful pink sunset across the Pacific and the gentle waves of the ocean. Caruso should have attained the Three Michelin Star status already!“

“The setting here is stunning, the hotel and facilities are outstanding, and the restaurants are exceptional.

But what really makes this place so special and sets it apart is the attention to detail of the staff and the warmth and depth of their hospitality. Everyone is authentic, and their sincerity and care create an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and deeply personal.“

“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!“

“We had an amazing brunch at Jeannine’s! Our Havana latte was delicious! We tried Santa Barbara scrambled, tri tip sandwich, avocado toast and tuna melt sandwich were all good! We also had the coconut pineapple scone — best scone I’ve ever had. Service was excellent as well. I highly recommend this restaurant 👍🏽👍🏽“

“Wonderful French pastries in California with beautiful setting.“

“Excellent wine tasting experience, lots of history . The wine consultant was very friendly. I will come again and reccomend.“

“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.“

“A very special place. My children went there everyday after school. When they come home now one of their first stops is Wine and Cheese. It was a wonderful event today. Thank you for all you do for this community �“

“Excellent quality and service“

“I had the pleasure of dining at The Revere Room for their Christmas Day Four-Course Prix-Fixe Menu, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The flavor combinations, presentation, and overall taste of every dish made my holiday even brighter.

What stood out even more than the amazing food was the incredible staff.

First, Vicente was the star of the evening—an outstanding server who greeted me with such warmth, it felt like I was a guest in his home. His detailed descriptions of the dishes, thoughtful drink recommendations, and overall positive energy set the tone for a fantastic meal.

Next, JJ delivered the food with speed and precision, offering helpful guidance on the tasting order to ensure I got the most out of each dish.

Rounding out the team was Asher, seamlessly managing multiple tables with efficiency and grace.

This level of teamwork is clearly a reflection of exceptional leadership, and that brings me to Mr. Arturo, the Big Boss. Arturo’s passion for hospitality shines through in everything he does. With a wealth of experience in the restaurant industry and as a standout hotel school graduate, he was actively involved throughout the evening—checking in with customers, directing staff, and anticipating needs before they even arose. He even bussed tables, delivered food, and took drink orders to ensure no table went unnoticed in the packed dining room.

If you’re considering dining here, I cannot recommend The Revere Room enough, especially for a special Prix-Fixe event. The combination of exquisite food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere is truly unparalleled. 10/10 experience!“

“We have eaten here several times before. Always a pleasure, with excellent service and great food. My meal was excellent, but my husband said his soup's vegetables were hard, not even al dente. I didn't have any, so can't speak to that. The rest of meal and desserts were, as always fabulous and that is why we keep coming back! Plus their waitstaff are the best💕 Someone has taught them all correct service standards that are rare to find today! Great job to all🙋‍♀️👏👍“

“Great experience! Had been trying to visit for sometime! Thank you to Carlos, Isabelle and Mike of course! Food was prepared perfectly. The wings are huge and tasty! Fish and chips on point. Branzino was beautiful. Kitchen is talented and dependable. Don't miss this great place down the stairs off the main drag. It's really a gem. Ample parking below. No hassle and the bar was also a great place and full! Watched the Dodgers win while dining Al Fresco! Who could ask for anything more. Mike be proud of what has been built here and your staff is beyond great! Boom!“

“We have we our company holiday lunch the attention was excellent as the service all the staff is super friendly el señor the Manager Marciano is awesome 👏 Felipe as well I highly recommended this place and the food and drinks just awesome 👏👏👏👏was a great time“

“Had a fantastic dinner at Lucky's recently! We ordered the by strip with Roquefort cheese (highly recommend) as well the shrimp cocktail & crab cocktail which were also very good! Service was a standout with our very friendly waiter Eric, and Diego was amazing! We had a small baby and Diego checked in very frequently to make sure we were good and went above and beyond to give us great recs, and even bring us items to elevate our experience!

Overall the vibe of this steakhouse, service, and food made for a very fun night as we were celebrating a milestone in our lives. We thought the molten cake and coconut cake were just ok, but the martini was also excellent“

“A wonderful selection and great for parties ✨“
