    “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.”

    “Easily one of the best locations in California (and maybe the world,) to sit and enjoy drinks and food. There aren’t a lot of places in SB you can dine right by the ocean with unobstructed views, it’s really the cream of the crop, in that regard. All the staff are attentive and personable. The food is not the greatest ever, but it’s good enough, considering the rest of the experience.”

    “Feeling Lucky?! It is not time for Vegas…it is time to drive into Montecito for a memorable dining experience at Lucky’s! All sauces are housemade, which makes the appetizers excellent. The calamari is highly recommended!! Great alternatives include the Giant Shrimp and the meatballs. Brunch items are quite tasty. Their waffle is incredible and resembles those made to order at a high-end resort!! French toast is tasty too. Abalone is one of a kind and packed with flavor! The Chicken Sandwich is very good when paired with the housemade sauces. Delectable! For dessert, the COCONUT CAKE is out of this world!! The turtle sundae is very delicious too!! For drinks, the BLUEBERRY PATCH is highly recommended.”

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.”
