- UUnforgettablevipLos Angeles •295 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoExceptional food and service overlooking the Pacific Ocean. ThePeruvian inspired dishes are fresh and exciting and the rolls clearly contain the best ingredients. We celebrated my birthday, and our waiter kindly brought us each a glass of Champagne and a sushi "dessert". This is not a restaurant for anyone on a tight budget but it's definitely a "treat" occasion.More infoSan SettoPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Santa Barbara•4.5

- JjoeCalifornia Central Coast •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis is a must stop if you are on your way through or to the Ritz Carlton Bacara. The hostess welcomed us and made us feel special. We were fortunate enough to get to experience a live piano with our spectacular view of the sunset. The ambiance hits on all levels and oh yeaa then the food. What a treasure of delicacy and presentation. I highly recommend the Cesar salad to start with the scallops and finish it off with the chocolate sphere.More infoAngel OakPrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Santa Barbara•4.5
- VVictoriaCalifornia Central Coast •3 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 5, 2024We stayed at The Bacara Resort to celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary. Our breakfast at The Bistro during our stay was a highlight of our trip. This is because we were fortunate to have Dulce as our server. She took excellent care of us and made sure we had a wonderful breakfast with a spectacular view and added special touches to make for the most wonderful and memorable celebration during our stay. All of the staff at The Bistro were top notch, but Dulce went over and beyond to make sure we had the most memorable and special lunch.More infoThe Bistro at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa BarbaraPrice: Very Expensive• American• Santa Barbara•4.4
