About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
We are delighted to have added additional outdoor seating but Santa Barbara nights are chilly so bring a sweater or light jacket!

Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care. Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine. Warm, inviting ambiance, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace. Santa Barbara ‘Wine Country Cuisine’ means we source our ingredients using an ‘as-fresh-and-as-local-as-possible’ approach, with fish from the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from the surrounding countryside. We then take into account how these flavors can be presented in concert with our local wines. We believe you’ll taste the difference. Bon Appètit!

    The night was spectacular. Nicholas was well versed in the food and wine pairings. Made my birthday a memorable celebration. The Ahi special with the ratatouille was fresh and light. Perfect summer meal.

    Excellent! From the moment you walk in, the beautiful fresh floral arrangements surround you and the lovely hostess gives you a warm welcome. We sat on the patio and had the Filet Mignon poivre,  and the special scallops prepared three ways.  Both entrées were truly amazing. Our waiter was a delight. Knowledgeable along with a fun personality.  Fabulous evening….

    We went for our anniversary. Could not have had a more wonderful experience. Service was outstanding, warm and welcoming. Food was delicious and wine recommendation was perfect. Compared with Los Angeles area, prices were very reasonable. All in all, we had a memorable time and thank everyone involved.

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary with another couple. When we arrived for our reservation our table was decorated with red rose petals and there was a welcoming note from the owners. Our groups shared three different appetizers - the goat cheese tart, the steak tartar, and the sautéed mushrooms. All were beautifully prepared. In our group we had one person enjoy the wagyu ribeye, two shared the duck and one person chose the red lentil soup as a main course. Everyone loves their choices. Delicious and very attractively presented. We finished the evening with crème brûlée and dessert wines and tawny port. While the food was superb, the wine selection excellent, it was the impeccable service that stood out.
