Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Carpinteria

Barbereno did not disappoint! My highlight were the mussels and beet salad. A definite must-have every visit is their version of baked Alaska. Excellent, fun, and quiet outside.

The hospitable and welcoming staff were top-notch - many of them wished us a happy anniversary, and it shows the excellent communication within the establishment and the care they take to provide patrons with a memorable experience. Highly recommend arriving early and grabbing a delicious and strong cocktail in the lounge before dinner. Walk the gardens either before or after your meal - the property is gorgeous! Every bite was tasty - what stood out most to us were the perfectly prepared grilled octopus starter and the absolutely divine Grand Marnier souffle.

I had an amazing dining experience at Luckys!! Great steak, great service and a great atmosphere!!

It seemed nearly impossible for our first experience here to live up to the long-running hype…but it did! We loved our server Alex who helped us pick out amazing wine and figure out how to try as many pastas as possible (the kitchen is super accommodating and will often do half-size portions AND make all kinds of pasta that aren’t on the menu!) so we were able to get an incredible tasting experience for two. Atmosphere is cozy and casual. Can’t wait to come back.

The 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.
