Best Family Style Restaurants in Santa Barbara

Everything about this restaurant is excellent. We ate here two nights in a row!

Food and service was great - highly recommend the prime rib special (Sundays), deviled eggs, Caesar salad, and catch of the day (Snapper). Super tasty food and attentive service. We sat at the communal table at the bar since we had a dog with us and it was too cold to sit outside.

This was our first visit and we were blown away with the service and the atmosphere. I can’t believe the flavors of everything we ate. So much so that we reordered a couple of dishes. Our server RJ was on his game. We will be back….

We came for the 3-course Apero dinner. We added the marrow bone, which was amazing! My only complaint was that the stroganoff was too salty. The flavors were great, otherwise.

This is the 2nd time I have dined at Arnoldi's since it reopened, and both visits have been fantastic. The food is superb, and the waitstaff very attentive. I loved sitting out back in the garden. The music is from the 30's-50's and perfect for the setting.
