- WWendyCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoI've enjoyed their lunch and brunch offerings several times - the food is delicious, especially for those of us who need to avoid gluten and, frankly, most diners would never notice that their baked goods are all gluten free! Friendly service and clean, appealing dining room. Highly recommended.More infoLilac MontecitoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary European• Montecito•4.7

- MMarciaLos Angeles •8 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe food was amazing! Both my boyfriend and I started with the onion soup, which was cheesy and savory. I had the duck which was tender and extremely flavorful. My boyfriend had the filet that was also tender and juicy with a great pepper sauce. We were both extremely full, but opted for a scoop of lemon berry ice cream which was a perfect way to end the meal.More infoBouchon - Santa BarbaraPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.9
