- NNancyVIPSan Diego •25 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoTucked away in Montecito, this cozy spot is a true find. The food is incredible—every dish is fresh and full of flavor. We kicked things off with the Prosciutto & Delice Board that were perfectly paired with grapes, strawberry preserves and a warm baguette, and the broiled king salmon was flawless. The service was amazing, too— Diana was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home without being overbearing. To top it all off, the ice cream and sorbet were refreshing and light finishes. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit for great food and a relaxed vibe!More infoRH Firehouse Grill at RH MontecitoPrice: Very Expensive• American• Montecito•4.6

- MMelissaDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoAmazing! The food, service, and ambience. My favorite restaurant (along with their Patisserie in downtown SB). Their menu has something for everyone, and the staff is very welcoming and attentive. It’s heaven if you’re gluten free, and a delicious experience if you’re not.More infoLilac MontecitoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary European• Montecito•4.6

Everything was delicious including the lemonade. Service was great from a young man working that day. Was super windy outside so luckily we sat inside and we were one of the only ones, definitely a great experience.More infoLOCAL MontecitoPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Montecito•4.6
