This review makes me sad. We love to eat out and have great food and experiences but this was neither. The meatballs were good but cold. The beet salad was great. The little gem was average. The pizza crust was good but the flavor overall was lacking. The raw oysters tasted briney and we couldn’t finish them. The prawn dish w

The oysters Rockefeller were amazing and the cheese board app had a nice selection of tastes. Outdoor dining was very relaxing and look forward to dining indoors soon.

Such a memorable evening! Just lovely in so many ways. Thank you!

I had a wonderful experience and look forward
to your expansion into the rest of that beautiful space

Each dish was genuinely scrumptious and eating in the inner courtyard was delightful. All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They are short-staffed in the kitchen so our seating and main course were delayed but they attempted to make up for it with generous servings of champagne and wine.

The service was great and the food was very good. You sit right next to a road so it can be noisy.

Elegant patio dining, amazing prawns. We were celebrating and the servers made sure it was special. We’ll be back.

We had a lovely dinner at Intermezzo. The food was amazing and the owners and servers were so fun and provided fantastic service and lovely night!

We've never had a bad experience here - it's truly a local's gem! Everyone is always so friendly, warm, and welcoming, and the food/wine/cocktails never disappoint!

Excellent service, food and ambience! Will definitely return.

I requested a flower at the table for prom and they gave it to me! It really made the night special. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious.

This is a really great restaurant!

Enjoying dinner in the Intermezzo courtyard was like a magical escape. From the hostess to our server, everyone was wonderful and elevated the experience that much more. The history of the building is beautifully honored in the atmosphere created here. The food was wonderful overall, but my steak was overcooked and the pizza has some unexpected undertones going on, but the crust was cooked perfectly, which is hard to find on the west coast! We will definitely be heading to Intermezzo on our next trip to Santa Barbara.

Consistently good food and service in a top location. One of my favorite places!

One of my local go to’s. Great food, great service & great value!

Never disappoints!

Excellent food and service on a beautiful patio. The music was great and was just loud enought to hear it without being overwhelming. We enjoyed the Pizza and The Oysters Rockefeller. The Cocktails are top notch too. I would have no problem coming back to this place again. Thanks

Liz was fantastic, with excellent recommendations which made our dinner special!

Extremely good food. Excellent service from all staff.

Amazing food, with amazing service.

Beautiful evening with good food and service. We’ll be back.

God variety of food choices, excellent service, and good ambiance

Great service , food was as expected, outdoor dining was great after a covid lockdown period

Amazing place and amazing staff. Request the interior courtyard

Hadn't been in since the remodel, looks great! Food was wonderful will be back!

This is just where I want to go out to dinner. Cool outdoor seating, delicious food (Caesar salad is the best in town, there are entrees if you’re with your mom who doesn’t want to share, and pizzas if you’re with friends who do). Professional grown-ups wait on you!!! Oh yeah, proper cocktails and/or wine.

Excellent service, friendly staff and great food/drinks. Highly recommend!

Our waitress was phenomenal!!!! And the food and wine were delicious. We had a reunion with friends and enjoyed our evening so much.

We were very happy to be back dining at one of our favorite Santa Barbara restaurants. We were seated in the lovely courtyard of the Wine Cask, which was a nice surprise. Intermezzo's Angus beef Cask Burger is probably the best in town, and others in our party enjoyed the perfectly prepared Skirt Steak. The $8 house margarita was a must on Cinco de Mayo. We picked Intermezzo for its quiet ambience, away from the fray of State Street -- our personable and attentive server made our evening that much better, as did a fantastic wine list, and delicious desserts (chocolate mouse and lemon creme brulee).

One of the best restaurants in town! I recommend to locals and tourists alike!

Food was amazing! Wine and the cheese platter were fabulous!
The server was attentive and nice. A beautiful experience!

Amazing evening. Excellent food, we'll presented, great value you notch ambiance. Staff outstanding service all the way through. Can't wait to return.

Consistently terrific!

Fantastic!

We sat outside near the street and it was pleasant. The restaurant played loud music that didn't fit the ambiance ie disco 80s that was disruptive. Very impressed with how management handled two very intoxicated woman who sat near us. Appreciated that they took care of the situation for the other guests. They put them in an Uber and sent them home, which was a wonderful solution for all. The food was a bit of a let down. My salmon was over sauced with root vegetables which felt more like a winter dish. My husbands burger was burned on the outside. I think restaurants are struggling to get back into their groove after COVID so we will try this restaurant again in a few months.

We are from out of town and we were looking for a nice place to celebrate a birthday dinner. We took a chance and we were incredibly happy with our decision.

The staff was wonderful, the food was amazing, and overall we were extremely happy with our experience.

They did they best they could with outdoor seating due to COVID restrictions. I would suggest to request the courtyard area to avoid sidewalk foot traffic and noise of the cars.

Wonderful place and we would definitely return!

Great food, great service, friendly staff, lovely location. I highly recommend Intermezzo.

Nephew’s birthday was fantastic every way!

So good to be back at Intermezzo! Everything was great. Will definitely go back soon!

We were met a the front by the owner who was also serving as hostess. She was lovely and immediately worked to get us a complimentary glass of champagne while working to get our favorite seating area in the back patio. They have refinished the entire place and it's a huge improvement with much more open space and a great feeling overall. Our favorite area is the interior courtyard complete with gorgeous flowering vines and open air seating. Our waiter was a blast and had custom designed all the drinks... and named them quite cleverly. He listened to our preferences and designed some custom cocktails for us which were balanced but extraordinary. The food was stellar with rich flavors and inventive flair although I would say, if I had to form a criticism for each main entree, that the salmon was a a bit salty for my taste and that the chimichurri skirt steak was, though delicious, more medium than medium rare. Having said that we absolutely loved the experience and will certainly be back. the owner even sat with us and was really delightful. We certainly want to keep supporting her business and hope to see the crew again soon.
