   From welcome, to service to surroundings - this was a much anticipated and not disappointing opportunity to meet a new potential member of our family. Thank your gardeners for the maintenance and planning of the most lovely garden to ingest for a while after lunch - while digesting the whole experience. My suggestion for a lunch pudding (I am English) would be a lemon posset with your own plentiful lemons, a kind of light lemon mousse would be an excellent finale. Best wishes, congratulations and hope to return for another special occasion. Jane De Jong, Chatsworth, Ontario, Canada (returned to 3 feet of snow!)

   Lunch for two vegetarians. Outstanding in all respects. Impeccable, personable, attentive service from all the front of the house team. Delicious and imaginative vegetarian starters and mains. Outstanding wine list, reasonably priced. Lovely patio seating, most tables full but remarkably very little noise. A perfect birthdays lunch.

   On the pricier side but completely worth it. Service is next level. As soon as we pulled up to the valet and gave our name, we were greeted with Happy Anniversary. Each person that we interacted with addressed us as Mr or Mrs xxx. Food was excellent and the beauty of the grounds exceptional. We will be back!

   My salmon salad was delicious with fresh ingredients from local farmers. I was disappointed in the very expensive and small lemon tart. They have changed the dough used to make the tart shell and it is not as rich and unctuous as it used to be… Ambiance is unbeatable!

    Does it get any better than the Stonehouse? It's hard to imagine. Attentive, personal service without being intrusive; lovely, private locale. We had the salmon salad with a lemon tart for dessert. Beautifully presented, delicious. We will be back.

    I had driven 100 miles from Los Angeles to celebrate my birthday and at the same time our 30th anniversary.The food was unfortunately mediocre at its best although the reviews don’t add up.Ordered appetizer Hawaiian Big Eye Tuna Belly Tartare witch tasted very bad & had bad smell was sent back the other appetizer was Halibut tacos which was overcooked & dry. I looked at my wife and we decided we’re not gonna order anything else just the check & left hungry in disbelief. Later that early evening I called the restaurant manager and explain him the situation he advised me he’s going to let the chef know about the freshness issues and also he’s going to let the food beverage manager be aware of the situation . Thanks for wasting my time and ruined our birthday & anniversary at the same time . I think this restaurant glory days are over ……just a big hype !!

    Don't order sliders, hamburgers, or veggie burgers. The sliders were two small ones; usually, we get three sliders at other restaurants. The burgers were so tall it was impossible to open your mouth that wide. We watched others who ordered the same, and they had trouble too. Breakfast is better at this restaurant. The service as always, is impeccable but the hostess was grumpy and did not smile. The ambiance is gorgeous. we were disappointed with the lunch but always happy with breakfast.

    First time back since the pandemic precautions took over our lives. Everything was just as I remember: impeccable service from start to service, one of those menus where you want to order everything, beautiful presentation of delicious food. A perfect afternoon bookended by strolls through the gorgeous grounds. Wouldn't it be fabulous to live here?!?!

    We had a delicious meal in an incredible atmosphere. Grayson provided exceptional service and even surprised my husband with a beautiful birthday desert. After the meal we walked the grounds of this former citrus packing location from the late 19th century and it was just enchanting. The rose garden surrounding the charming cottages was so colorful. So glad we chose this hidden gem!

    The menu will change so be prepared see new items appearing and old items not. At lunch time, on Oct 11, 2022, new were Korean beef tacos and Maitake Mushroom Pad Thai noodles. Gone is the table side Crepes Suzette, replaced with a flambéed Apple Crisp! Cherries Jubilee and Banana Fosters will still be set on fire, table side for a very memorable experience!

    It was so warm on the patio. We got our starter before drinks came. We liked our server but he tried to upsell us a bunch when we were ordering. Constant waters being filled…which is nice, but it was wayyyy too much. Lovely grounds/patio, but so warm we were uncomfortable. Food was definitely good, but a bit overpriced. Wish we would have come for dinner or on a cooler day.

    The food was really so so, especially for the price. The menu choices for lunch are very limited and nothing fancy. I expect the dishes at least had some decent presentation but unfortunately not. The side salad to the chicken sandwich was like a little pile of greens with some tomato and wide slices of carrot, definitely not very appealing that would make you want to take a photo of it. Before entering the restaurant, I walked around and saw some vegetable gardens outside but not sure if the ingredients were from their own farm. I wish the servers would mention about it as it will be nice if it is farm to table. The beausoleil oysters were small, maybe 1.5 inch big. The good ones can be up to 2.5 inches. $31 for half dozen was really not worth it. But the servers were friendly. But I need to give them credit for providing a piece of complimentary birthday cake as I mentioned the occasion on my reservation.

    Overrated. Everything was average at best. The property is cool but unfortunately, it ends there. Service is slow. I was more than halfway done with my meal before getting my first drink. When we first arrived they asked what we wanted to drink but didn't bring menus out, then only brought the wine menu. I had to ask for the cocktail menu. It seemed like the servers really had no clue what was going on. Sliders were solid but the seafood was below average. For all the hype I was expecting much more. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this restaurant. There are much better options in downtown Santa Barbara.

    We just had lunch here at Stonehouse. The moment we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted right away with a smile and seated right away outside at the patio. Our server Emanuele was a delight. He e do explained everything on the menu, giving us recommendations and provided first class service. He was very attentive and made our lunch very memorable. Great ambiance and we will recommend to our friends for sure.

    We found great reviews for Stonehouse on Yelp so I wanted to give them a try for a special afternoon lunch with my family who was visiting from out of town. The entire experience was an A+ from the valet who cheerily greeted us and directed us to the restaurant, to our knowledgeable and gracious waiter, our DELICIOUS food and wine. The grand finale was the ability to walk the perfectly manicured grounds of this gorgeous property. We will definitely be back!
