We are delighted to have added additional outdoor seating but Santa Barbara nights are chilly so bring a sweater or light jacket!

Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care. Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine. Warm, inviting ambiance, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace. Santa Barbara ‘Wine Country Cuisine’ means we source our ingredients using an ‘as-fresh-and-as-local-as-possible’ approach, with fish from the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from the surrounding countryside. We then take into account how these flavors can be presented in concert with our local wines. We believe you’ll taste the difference. Bon Appètit!

    Bouchon provided a meaningful and special dining experience. All staff were polite and attentive, food was expertly prepared and absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was pleasant, especially with holiday music playing in the background. Santa Barbara is fortunate to have this treasure!

    The food was good but not great. I had the chicken and it was unbelievably salty and I like salty food. My friend had the Salmon and she liked it. The service was good but not outstanding. I had heard amazing things about the restaurant and it let me down as I was expecting more. As a Santa Barbara local, I would think twice about going back.

    Dinner was lovely. Our server, Dave, was great as was the entire staff! They have a vast and varied wine list. there are plenty of starters to chose from. The entree selections are limited but everything we had - the duck, the pork and the steak - was delicious. We are local and always enjoy eating here. We will be back - soon!
