most amazing restaurant I ever been to
Amazing birthday dinner. Everything we had was wonderful. Service was impeccable. Just wish people did let show up in shorts and baseball hats for dinner.

The Stonehouse Restaurant offers a memorable dining experience with exceptional service and a stunning setting. The property is truly beautiful, featuring cobblestone paths lined with mature olive trees and a chef's garden, creating a cozy and elegant atmosphere suitable for both casual meals and special occasions. Guests can enjoy a walk through the gardens and take pictures after their meal. The restaurant features interesting food concepts, including oysters enjoyed with strawberry mignonette and Korean tacos with tender, flavorful meat, although the thin tortilla can fall apart easily and the kimchi has little gochujang flavor. Standout dishes include the abalone and oyster appetizers, black cod entree, Steak Diane flambéed tableside, veal schnitzel, and chocolate Crème brûlée. Guests have noted the black cod is good, but some experienced difficulty changing the fish order shortly after ordering. A Steak Diane with a gummy texture in the middle has also been mentioned, which is unusual for the price. The lobster dim sum is a fun idea but can come out dry and overcooked, with the beurre blanc sauce not adding much. The BLT is described as average. A highlight is the tableside smoked cocktail, smoked with different woods to complement the drink, providing a fun and memorable show. Service is outstanding, with attentive staff offering constant beverage refills and course resets that enhance the experience. Many guests appreciate the personable service, with staff providing warmth and anecdotes about the area. The musician, playing favorite songs, adds to the overall enjoyment. Guests can learn about the history and gardens during property tours and visit the wine cellar with a knowledgeable guide. The Speakeasy offers themed drinks and live piano music, creating a lively atmosphere. Overall, The Stonehouse Restaurant combines beautiful surroundings, interesting food, and top-notch service, making it a must-visit spot in Santa Barbara for a special dining experience that guests look forward to returning to.
