- BBobSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI don’t remember our waitresses name, but she has been there 5 years and gave us wonderful service. Friendly, helpful and attentive.More infoOpal Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.8
- AAlexCalifornia Central Coast •56 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoExcellent service from Tom, one of the waiters. Nice selection from a slightly small menu which means the chef can do an outstanding job on all those preparations. We like that approach rather than 2-3 pages with unlimited choices. The kitchen can never do all those well. Great European ambiance.More infoBouchon - Santa BarbaraPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.8
- DDarcyvipPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •22 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoOne of my absolute favorite placed in Santa Barbara! If you care about what ingredients you put into your body this is the place for you! Homemade breads, dressings, sauces. Locally sourced. All the dishes are truly unique and special. They change the menu so currently my favorites are the Hamburger, lamb dish, persimmon salad. I do miss their smashed crispy potatoes so I DO HOPE they bring those back!!More infoBarbareñoPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.8
