    The food and the wine were excellent as was the service and the ambience. The only reason I removed a star is that it is extremely expensive $18 for a half a glass of wine seems a little over-the-top to me.

    We love sitting in the inner courtyard which has a very Spanish feel since it is planted with flowering vines, wrought iron light fixtures and arched windows. We were nice and cozy with plenty of heaters too. We mostly go to Intermezzo before a concert at the Lobero, but should go more often just to enjoy the food and ambience. They make a great Oyster’s Rockefeller!

    The girlies celebrated international nationals women’s day at this wonderful restaurant by sipping delicious cocktails and French rosé under the twinkling lights in their beautiful courtyard! Service by Molly was wonderful and the food was fantastic! We started with the Poutine for the table as a share and it didn’t stand a chance! Gone in 60 seconds! The cask burger, chef pizza, French onion soup, crispy sea bass, ahi tuna appetizer and little gems Caesar salad were all so delicious! A truly classic and hip restaurant in Downtown Santa Barbara! We Love the vibes!!

    Best pizza in SB without a doubt. We enjoyed the Chef Seasonal pizza of prosciutto, creamy burrata and shaved asparagus. Really fantastic. Onion soup is wonderful also. Our server Andrea was very nice. Highly recommend Intermezzo. It gets very busy on show nights so plan accordingly to make it in time.

    Best owner, staff, food and service in Santa Barbara. The food is spectacular, poutine the best and all other food the best in town. The bar is also epic, not a better place in town. My favorite local spot!

    This is a “go to” for us. Great space/s and good variety of food. Great wine list…. Prices do seem higher with the expanded menu. Sadly, everyone at the table felt the food was way over salted (and we do love well seasoned food) including the fish, muscles, risotto. This was the case the past couple of times we were there. Service was good as usual.

    Always a great experience at Intermezzo. We love the food and rock n roll setting of the bar area. The Filet Au Poivre is delicious as is the Salmon with Lemon Caper sauce. Service is on point and the drinks are great! Try the Walkin’ the Line martini!! Spicy!!
