- EEmilyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •16 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFood and service was great - highly recommend the prime rib special (Sundays), deviled eggs, Caesar salad, and catch of the day (Snapper). Super tasty food and attentive service. We sat at the communal table at the bar since we had a dog with us and it was too cold to sit outside.More infoFinch & ForkPrice: Expensive• American• Santa Barbara•4.6

- JJohnnyVIPCalifornia Central Coast •77 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoGreat experience at Intermezzo. Staff was very accommodating over a few dietary restrictions and the food was delicious. Shrimp pasta was excellent as was the Filet Mignon with pepper cream sauce. We will be back again. Definitely recommend.More infoIntermezzo By Wine CaskPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.7
- LLeeCalifornia Central Coast •10 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 14, 2024The food here is delicious, definitely different from and a cut above traditional Indian restaurants in America. The service was also very attentive. I really appreciate the number of vegan dishes and the fact that everything is clearly marked. My two caveats are that there’s a lot of heat in this food so if you can’t stand that this is not the restaurant for you. Even the mild chutney was hot rather than flavorful. It’s also a noisy set up with little thought given to sound management in the design of the space. The pink themed walls are kind of cute but also slightly nauseating.

- JJodiCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 29, 2024I have always loved Roy restaurant as my family has been going there for many years. You know the food has to be good as the restaurant is still going since 1993. Roy gets his produce from the farmers market and prepares them so well. I bet his restaurant has lasted so long because he is there cooking in the kitchen. He provides a good variety of food from steak to seafood to Italian dishes. I love the potato cakes, he makes great purée soups, and yummy deserts. I went there for Thanksgiving dinner the place was full, the waitress was personable and we had a great meal and Roy made incredible cranberries. You can’t go wrong with whatever you order.More infoRoyPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Santa Barbara•3.9
