This is review is to say Thank you to Jordan. She was our server/host went we had dinner at ‘o’ bar + kitchen during our stay at the Ritz Carlton Santa Barbara in January 2024. I don't know if she still works at this restaurant, however it has been by far the best service I have received at a restaurant.

Latin themed bar/restaurant experience with nice outdoor seating. Service outstanding, small changes to menu item were “no problem”! They started us with homemade chips and salsa that were perfect. Chicken with rice and burger were great. Tortilla soup was delicious and flourless cake ala mode was a clean plate! Very casual with fire pits on the table.
Really not very good. We waited almost 10 minutes to be seated and then had to go fetch a server (after being at the table for almost 15 minutes with no one even glancing in our direction). They brought us chips 2 minutes before our food was served (having realized they'd forgotten to, after the folks next to us were given chips promptly upon sitting down). Two of our main meals came 8 minutes before the other two. The arroz con pollo was salty and the fries tasted underdone And all for a very expensive price. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.

Sophie was super sweet and attentive, even tho she spilled a little water on the birthday girl, lol. Our food was delicious and had just the right amount of kick. Added w the gorgeous weather and surrounding, we had a wonderful time.

Dinner for 6 celebrating son's graduation. Seated early, beautiful view, sumptuous appetizers and great fajita. Everyone enjoyed their dinner, all the way to the flourless chocolate cake and after dinner drinks.

It was such a beautiful evening, so the ambiance made the food taste even better. But the best part was our server, Siena. She was so easy and personable, yet professional with her level of service and attention. :)

We were seated promptly in an indoor area. Unfortunately one of our party then thought we should move to outdoor seating. After ordering our food it began to rain. The restaurant staff first brought us umbrellas, thinking it would be a short rain. It turned into real rain so it took awhile for the staff to reseat us indoors again. Not the staffers fault, but the food also got wet. We recommend eating indoors during iffy weather!
Awesome shareables - try any of the tacos and the hot dog was

Way underrated and off the beaten path! Delicious drinks, tacos, and service. Ritz experience but with much more modest prices. Family friendly and wonderful for parties. Spend some time at Haskell’s Beach and then mosey on over here and get warm by one of their fires. Highly recommend!

Service at the bar was excellent, and the short rib empinadas, very good. Try the house old fashioned 😋

First of all....the service was great. The star of the show was Amine who was super attentive and provided spot on recommendations on cocktails and entrees. Some of the party ordered the Mango Chili and some ordered the Luna Nueva. Both were tremendously flavorful and catered to a particular taste. Amine anticipated our needs by graciously replacing one of the drinks we knocked over without us requesting another, and providing additional tortilla chips with my dinner because that is the way he likes it. He also brought out the birthday dessert with us requesting it. This birthday experience exceeded expectations.Now lets talk food which was somewhat unique and flavorful. Let's be honest though: the prices are slightly higher than need by, but we are at the Ritz.

The O Bar is a one of a kind unique experience. The venue is a lot more casual than the main restaurant but offers amazing dinner options that are as delicious as any other 5 star restaurant. Our server Jordan was exceptional, fun and very knowledgeable. Can't wait to return and bring our friends.
Everything amazing
