Restaurants near Montecito

“The food here was very delicious, I highly suggest their pork chop and trout. Very unique combinations and full of flavor. Everything was great except for how crowded it. Just believe it may be busy during rush times. I would highly suggest making a stop here and do not forget their dessert menu.”

“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.”

“Pro tip: get there when they open and avoid the line which will go down the sidewalk! We were greeted by the manager while we waited for them to open and he thanked us all for coming. He is a great ambassador for the place and set the tone right off the bat. You order your food and drinks at the counter then grab a table. (Thats why you need to get there early so you have a choice. Otherwise, you get whatever opens up. If your party is bigger than 6 you have to sit separate).
The atmosphere is very clean and the food is fantastic. The outside garden area is really nice and has a fountain. If you can grab a window table inside you can people watch as people walk up and down the street onto Stearns Wharf.
Food. Wow! You can taste the quality as soon as you take a bite! We had the special green chili chilaquiles, the lemon poppy pancakes and coffee. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Their coffee was very smooth, not bitter like a well-known coffee chain.
Overall, a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone!”

“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”

“If you want a posh, beach side cocktail experience, do not sleep on the Beach Bar. Yes, it is very expensive. If you go to the beach in Montecito expecting to find bargains, you are in the wrong place. The drinks were good but very pricy. We tried a variety of tacos and they were all good. The service was sharp and friendly. And of course the beach view is what you are paying for. If you are looking for an upscale cocktail experience to impress your friends, hustle your Bentley over to the Beach Bar and go nuts. We will return.”

“A very special place. My children went there everyday after school. When they come home now one of their first stops is Wine and Cheese. It was a wonderful event today. Thank you for all you do for this community �”

Great after meal dessert option.”

“This restaurant deserves 3 Michelin stars (based on my experience with Michelin rated restaurants, starting with Paul Bocuse in Lyon, Le Bernadin in NYC, and Le Pre Catelan in Paris). From the oceanside table, the Chef’s Tasting Menu, the Reserve Wine Pairing, to the wonderful conversations with the Chef, expert Sommeliers (with the most impressive wine list I have ever seen globally), highly knowledgeable and warm, caring, restaurant staff, everything was perfect for my birthday celebration with my wonderful wife!”

“Went here for lunch and mostly ordered off their specials menu where they were offering some Louisiana staples like crawfish and gumbo. Food is pretty good but overpriced, although most food in this area is. Waitstaff are about average. I would come back if I want seafood but don't want to leave Carp but not likely to go out of my way for it. Breakfast menu image added because I didn't see it listed.”

“The lightest, buttery moist scones. They also had hamburgers and salads that looked were very generous portions. All was freshly made. The silverware was REAL silverware.”

“good portions in the tacos. very tasty and fast service. the line seems overwhelming at first but moves fast. Will definitely be back, when in the area.”

“Our server,Cole R, was awesome-very informed and articulate. Food was amazing-cannot overstate the incredible preparation and presentation of the prime rib!”

“This restaurant is A M A Z I N G 😀 The tastes and creations are absolute delicious - they have wine too and all kinds of good food and drink, I highly recommend!”
