Dutch Garden Restaurant is a charming spot that offers an exceptional dining experience. The menu features a range of delicious options, including the popular open-faced ham sandwich, Max Strommer, and homemade sausage. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a lovely outdoor beer garden perfect for relaxing meals. The restaurant is known for its fantastic German food, such as pretzels, sauerkraut, sausages, and mustards, all house-made with care. The beer selection is impressive, with a rotating tap featuring several varieties, including a delicious non-alcoholic beer. Customers often enjoy sitting outside with their dogs, and staff are attentive, providing bowls of water for pets. The salad is super fresh and lightly dressed European style, and the cucumber salad is a favorite. The long-standing restaurant, dating back to the 1940s, has a great history and remains one of Santa Barbara’s best places for lunch or dinner. Despite some minor service disorganization, the excellent food, cold beers, and welcoming environment make it a true gem worth supporting.
