Restaurants near Montecito

“We had the loveliest dinner at Little Mountain, probably the best meal of 2026. The service was top notch, and the staff helped us celebrate our anniversary by making us feel very special. The food was wonderful, all made with local ingredients and the perfect blend of flavors (trout, chicken and shell beans were some of our favorites). Lastly, we loved our wine and really enjoyed ending with the amaro flight.”

“We had an outstanding dinner at AMA Sushi. Every dish was exceptional, but the freshness and quality of the fish truly stood out.

Our favorites included the Kaisou Salad, Toro nigiri, Shima Aji nigiri, the Woman of the Sea roll, the Fukuda roll, and the Sake Kasu Marinated Black Cod. Everything was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious.

The hospitality was just as impressive as the food. A special thank you to Alessandro, who went well above and beyond for us. We were visiting from out of town and accidentally booked our reservation for the wrong evening. Despite our mistake, Alessandro was incredibly gracious, welcoming, and worked to accommodate us while we were at the restaurant. That level of kindness made a lasting impression.

From the spectacular food to the genuinely warm service, AMA Sushi exceeded every expectation. We highly recommend it and will absolutely return the next time we’re in town.”

“Not your typical hotel bar. BEAUTIFUL space, comfortable and working to create a great experience for everyone. Innovative menu, knowledgeable staff who are very friendly. Great job, I'll be back”

“Soup of the day (pozole verde) came with a couple slices of sourdough and I was pleasantly surprised. I hate when sourdough is thick and tough where the crush scrapes up the top of your mouth. Jeannine’s sourdough was cut thick, but when I took a bite, it was super fluffy like a fresh focaccia and the quick char was perfectly executed. The pozole was delicious, however I did find the last few slurps to be a tad overly salty. Should’ve saved some of the bread to soak up the final drops. I also ordered a mango, pineapple, orange juice smoothie which was refreshing and yummy. Highly recommend this place and the staff were very friendly.”

“Been here over 10 times and always great view and vibes. Youssef at the bar knocked it out of the park today with amazing service and everyone is super friendly. Always great time!”

“Staff was amazing, super attentive, and very polite. Food was great. And the atmosphere was perfection. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a casual but still higher end restaurant in the SB/Montecito area.”

“Rori’s Artisanal Creamery is absolutely 5 stars. The ice cream is always incredible, and my favorite flavor by far is the pistachio with black pepper. It’s such a unique combination and somehow works perfectly. Rich, creamy, full of flavor, and always worth stopping for. One of the best ice cream spots in Santa Barbara.”

“This restaurant is so pretty and we loved our waitress. We went on Sat night and dined outside. Food was delicious and we did not wait long at all. I was shocked at the bad review I had read earlier-I'm glad I didn't listen to it. We will go back next time we are in town. Bar is very lively, but the outdoor seating is pretty and quiet. My mojito was one of the best I have ever had!”

“We went on Saturday to have brunch for my husband's birthday, and the food was delicious! Everything tasted so fresh, and we really enjoyed our meal. The only thing I was disappointed about was the outdoor seating. I was not aware that the “outdoor patio” was actually an enclosed patio. When I read “outdoor patio,” I specifically expected to be seated outside, not inside on an enclosed patio. I just wish that had been made clearer when making the reservation.”

“This place was exceptional! We were able to get a drink from the very curated menu in the speakeasy while enjoying live music, and then walk the grounds which were absolutely beautiful. A must see!”

“Great beautiful venue with a delicious chicken menu. The rice was great and the egg rolls tasted delicious along with their sweet-and-sour sauce. Beautiful cozy spot in Santa Barbara with a nice outdoor patio in the sunshine☀🌊🏖”

“Great ambiance and like that you can sit outside and people watch. Everything tasted good at the time but my stomach felt uncomfortable and bloated about an hour after eating and pretty much all through the night. Dog friendly.”

“We had an incredible romantic dinner here for our anniversary, and the entire evening felt really special. Everything from the atmosphere to the service was exceptional. The highlight for me was definitely the steak with the port reduction. It was absolutely out of this world and easily one of the best dishes of the night.

The drinks were also excellent and really added to the experience. The duck was good, but it was probably the one dish that didn’t completely blow me away compared to everything else we had.

Overall, it was a beautiful anniversary dinner and a memorable evening. The food, drinks, service, and romantic atmosphere made it a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion. We would definitely come back.

4 course meal. And added some extra..”
