Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Goleta

I’m not usually one to write reviews, but Bouchon definitely earned its stars last night! My fiancé and I came for Valentine’s Day dinner and were expecting the typical “lower quality service and rushed atmosphere” but were extremely impressed with all bouchon had to offer! From start to finish, the service was impeccable. I cannot stress enough- if it weren’t for the adorable heart-shaped balloons and rose-petal covered tables, we wouldn’t have even been able to tell it was Valentine’s Day (in the best way possible). On top of the incredible, friendly, and warm service, the food was also top-notch. Starting with the fresh sourdough bread, rounding out with the delectable French-onion soup, to the perfectly cooked surf and turf, this truly was one of the better meals we’ve had. My fiance even said the Warm Lemon-Berry cake was probably in his top 5 desserts ever! So thank you, bouchon, for your incredible staff, delicious food, and giving my fiance and I a new favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara!

Prefixed menu should have some kind of chicken dish on it. Steak was amazing!!! crème brûlée was outstanding!!!

Roy's is such a nice, relaxing place to enjoy a superb meal. Fine cuisine at a very fair cost. Very cool Jazzy, artistic, slightly upscale atmosphere. Great music, Great people. Santa Barbara has loved Roy for over 30 years !
