Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Montecito

Great service. Great good. Over priced. But to be expected from an established restaurant as such.

Amazing food, amazing service. Thanks for making my birthday a great night!

We loved everything about our dining experience! Cocktails and food were superb!

The staff was so welcoming and professional. The ambiance is incredible, sitting outside you can see the ocean or be in a small garden setting. Every little design detail is perfection. We ordered a smoked cocktail and the way they present it is so unique and fun! The food was delicious and timing and portions were just right. They easily accommodated my dietary restrictions and brought amazing gluten free bread for me. Our group was really happy with everything. Plan extra time for your visit to walk around the grounds as it is unbelievably gorgeous! It is expensive but well worth it for the experience!

We recently moved to the Central Coast in CA. We often go to Santa Barbara for its restaurant scene. On my wife’s birthday we wanted something special and we were drawn to Stella Mare, with its classic French with a twist menu. We were blown away! Cannot say enough about the food, great housing in a Victorian home, and unparalleled service. The mushroom soup was perfection as was the apple, endive, pecan salad local blue cheese and light vinaigrette dressing. The coq a vin was perfectly seasoned and the meat fell off the bone. The salmon with cauliflower sauce was incredible. We were full but couldn’t resist the French Beignets which were heavenly and different from the normal Beignets. The only issue you better go now because the restaurant is slated to close Dec 31. Don’t miss the opportunity!!
