As a local, it's nice to patronize beautiful establishments here in Santa Barbara and the ‘O' Bar is no exception. Our server Amine was excellent and he made the evening even that more exceptional. Thank you!

Favourite place to go if we stay at Bacara. Best to be around the fire with great food and cocktails.

Was delish. Chelsea was sweet and went above and beyond. Alex, bartender makes Wonderful cocktails. Sat outside by the cozy fire with blankets in hand.

My mom and I had a wonderful experience at the O bar and Terrace at the Bacara. We had gone there to enjoy the spot and celebrate my mom's birthday. Adam, was the front of the house server who created us and brought us a special drink to celebrate her birthday. He was a delight and shared with us about his experience working at the Bacara and gave us his recommendations on the menu and then our server Khaled came and helped us the rest of the afternoon and both were just wonderful.  We will definitely be back. The food and service was impeccable.

Beautiful, relaxing experience. Server was top notch. Just the right amount of attention and special requests handled flawlessly. Great view.

While everyone has been very nice and warm, the service is outrageously slow and bad at every restaurant at the Ritz. Our first night was at this place and we could only get a hi top reservation, yet the entire restaurant (which is a bar) had regular tables empty. They gave us one, but it is super odd that we could not reserve one. They did have a nice dessert on the house for us, but again, the service was so slow, and we were so tired and just wanted to leave.

Beautiful venue. Started with Charred Brussels Sprouts, which were outstanding! Roasted Stone Fruit Salad was interesting and enjoyable. Mains, Grilled Foraged Mushrooms presented well but lacked any grilled flavor; Pacific Bass was delicious! Service was great.

Nice ambience at fire pit table. Food was average in taste. We were celebrating our anniversary, but they did nothing to recognize the occasion. Expensive.

We made reservations for 4 and decided to seat ourselves outside since the weather was so nice. It's January, and usually, it's really cold, but today was beautiful. We had drinks and an appetizer. It's the Ritz, so prices are high, which we expected. We didn't walk around because time didn't allow it. We had another commitment. Overall, we had a great time and recommend this restaurant.
We loved our lunch! The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and it was kid friendly!

Alex, our server was great. Plan on going here for Christmas lunch. Was nice but the inside seating isn't real comfortable. Very small table. The food was pretty small but it was tasty. Little pricey for a portion sizes but I guess you're at the Ritz after all

Perfect place for our first dinner while on property. Matt was our server and was super friendly and also very attentive, which is key when traveling with little kids that can be fussy. The food was delicious and it was prepared to perfection. We don't often love grilled chicken but wanted to get it for the kiddos and theirs was super tender and delicious. Sliders and fish tacos were also perfectly prepared. Flavors are not overpowering and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. We'll definitely be back

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.
