Interesting, fresh tasting food. My favorites were the Gado Gado salad, the wings and the Chinese sausage with crispy rice. Be sure to get the Sambal trio for only $3, that provides three great condiments More

Enjoyed our dinner. Farm to table Santa Barbara cuisine. We had the Panzanella salad with delicata squash and apples which was OK not great. Everything else was great, starting with the home made sour dough bread and butter. We had the Ranch fired chicken and the local black cod in miso as our mains. Both were excellent. More

Excellent food in a laid back environment. As good as any food you will find in Santa Barbara. This family operation creates the best high end prepared food but the atmosphere is low key and pleasant. No pretense here, just good food and wine. The tasing menu is fun and diverse. More

Wonderful restaurant and amazing menu. Some servers are more experienced than others. We were asked if anyone had food allergies and we mentioned there was a nut allergy... and the Goddess Salad was served with nuts. Server asked the question robotically, but our answer did not register. Suggest they pay more attention. Also, restaurant was empty for a 5:30 seating and they put guests right on top of one another. Otherwise amazing. More

Mushroom truffle pizza is the best! Rose provided us with absolutely the best service ever. She took her time to educate us on the designation given to cheeses, and other things we wanted to know about. Very knowledgeable. Took her recommendation for the top shelf Parmesan in the Caesar salad. Wow! what a difference it makes. Will always order this now. Try it. You'll be amazed at the difference! More

They've moved to State St. from Montecito recently. I hadn't been there previously, but had heard nice things. Had a very nice dining experience. Food was very good. Servers pleasant and attentive. Nice attention to detail in the decor, design and ambiance. I have one small complaint. The staff were a little too quick to remove used plates, etc. Our conversation was constantly interrupted by staff asking to remove items. Don't get me wrong. I get very upset when they take a plate or glass of wine that's not finished. However, that also can be taken too far. More

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our server, Stefan, was outstanding: attentive, charming, handsome, efficient. We attended an 8pm show at the Granada Theater (next door). Stefan took care of us so well, never made us feel rushed, and ensured that we got to the theater on time. The food & drinks were delicious. The ambiance and setting are beautiful. We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back. More

The Little Door continues to impress and is getting better over time. They've added a full bar and now offer music on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The mussels we had were absolutely delicious - very large, a good amount of them and a truly delicious sauce! The halibut was slightly overcooked but a very good portion with an excellent vegetable stew of sorts below it. The lamb chops were well cooked and served with two incredible mushroom sides. The ambiance is really quite lovely and the service was great. More

The menu had a great combination of items so that the vegetarians in the group were happy. Each dish we ordered was very tasty and we tried a lot of different dishes. This was a good find for a large group and casual. The waiter could've been a bit more attentive, we kept running out of water, but overall was a good experience. More

Discover Santa Barbara
Only a two-hour jaunt from Los Angeles, Santa Barbara is a busy seaside town with a relaxed vibe and proximity to California's booming wine region. Sometimes called the American Riviera, Santa Barbara exudes alfresco charm while benefiting from local, fresh produce and sustainably harvested seafood. From the taco trail to cracked fresh crab at the pier to eclectic wine bars with delicate snacks, Santa Barbara is a culinary delight for a range of tastes. One thing you won't find much of is pretentious, black-tie dining; Santa Barbara prefers it low-profile. Fresh and local is the name of the game here. Copious nearby ranch land, wine country and independent distillers and breweries keep chefs inspired to design their menus with a distinctly local bent.
