Miro at Bacara ResortPerfect eveningEverything was first rate. It is expensive, but you don't feel cheated as everything was wonderful. Perfect food; my husband said it was the best duck he had ever had. Gorgeous setting and attentive service. All in all fabulous. A perfect special occasion place.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMreally nice lunch on the patio.really nice lunch on the patio. Scenic and peaceful. The place is stupid expensive and has a vacant ghost town feel. Service was very good as was the food. Bacara is suffering from years of treating local Santa Barbarans poorly hoping for the beautiful people from LA, Europe or NYC. They need to do damage control and reach out to the community. They are not the Biltmore or the Ranch. They are in Goleta and some local love would bebuild the place in 10-20 years.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AMLow key eleganceWe enjoyed a lovely meal at Miro. The steak entree was spectacular, and our server suggested a wine that was both perfectly suited to our meal and reasonably priced, too! Not pretentious but very classy. We had wonderful service, delicious food (everything we tried was top quality with generous portions). The ambience is low key elegance and our table by the windows gave us a romantic view of the ocean, complete with fishing boats casting lights on the waves. All in all a great experience.2/19/2013 12:00:00 AM
