Holdren's Steaks & Seafood is a downtown Santa Barbara gem, offering an old-school steakhouse experience with a dark, elegant ambiance. The restaurant impresses with its filet, sea bass, pepper steak, and Rib Eye dishes, all served with delicious sides. The extensive wine selection and cocktail options add to the dining experience. The service is excellent, helpful, and a pleasure. The food is outstanding, including the homemade beef minestrone soup, Caesar salads with homemade dressing, and filet of beef medallions with outstanding mushroom sauce. Everything is served at the correct temperature and the plates look amazing. Holdren's is a must-visit for those looking for a memorable dining experience and is conveniently located across from a hotel.
The restaurant has received positive reviews, with customers praising the delicious food, extensive dessert and wine selection, and attentive service. One customer noted the filet mignon was the best they had ever had, cooked to perfection and moist throughout. However, some customers have mentioned issues with the hostess and noise level, as well as requests for specific preparation not being met.
