I’ve loved Scarlett Begonia since their old location in Victoria Court, so yes, I’m a longtime brunch loyalist. Walk-in friendly, but I’m a reservation kinda gal. Brunch waits are just not my thing.

The ambience is a big part of why I keep coming back. It’s cozy, charming, and effortlessly Santa Barbara without trying too hard. They have two patios, one out front and another tucked away in the back. Both are bright and relaxed, perfect for slow mornings...
Cute spot, okay food, odd billing - we were a party of 5, but they applied autogratuity for parties of 6 or more. There’s a 3% credit card surcharge that’s in fine print on the menu. The sales tax was calculated on top of the autogratuity and surcharge. We were feeling rushed out, so didn’t notice these oddities on the bill until afterwards. I understand this might be an issue with their point of sale set-up, but for the price point, this deters me from going back.
My neighbor invited me to have lunch with her for my birthday. She named a few places near us, but I picked I Scarlet Begonia because the food is consistently delicious, well-presented, and always satisfying.

My friend ordered the Benedict and I told her that I’ve never seen a Benedict with greens, which is the extra step that Scarlett begonia takes to make their food extraordinary vs. ordinary.

The potatoes were well prepared and there...
