- KKimWest Palm Beach •38 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoExcellent service from the hostess to the bus person. Very low key, quiet, with delicious food and wine. My sister and I stayed at the Beachside Inn next door so this was a lovely way to end a day I’d sightseeing. We recommend the swordfish (special), seafood pasta, all of the salads, and the chocolate torte for dessert. Fantastic wine list.More infoToma Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Barbara•4.8

- DDesiCalifornia Central Coast •7 reviews5.0Dined 6 days ago⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oku provided a wonderful experience for my family and me, especially for a birthday celebration. The food was absolutely excellent, and the service was perfect. Our server was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. To top it off, they came out with a delightful dessert complete with a candle, which added a special touch to the occasion. This has always been our go-to place, and it never disappoints!

- JJimSan Francisco Bay Area •54 reviews4.0Dined on Oct 3, 2024We've eaten here a few times, and the service and food are always good. Yes, it's a casual place and the menu is somewhat limited, but everything is fresh, well prepared and the staff makes sure everything is exactly right I had the chicken salad which had EVERYTHING in it and my wife had the turkey sandwich which was piled high with meat and vegies. The wine selection was good and fairly priced. I would recommend the goat tree for lunch or a casual dinner. (yes, they have heaters if it gets cold and you're seating outside)More infoGoat Tree RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Santa Barbara•4.4
