Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Santa Ynez Valley

Great food and top service. Only thing was it took a while to get our main courses, but again, the food was top and as good as a restraunt in Beverly hills.

My girlfriend is allergic to garlic, and the chef and staff accommodated her dietary restrictions; the chef even prepared a special mussel dish for us. It was a memorable experience, indeed.

What a wonderful place! Our compliments extend to all staff and in particular our server who allowed us to enjoy our dinner with peace and quiet. The guitar music was phenomenal, We will absolutely be back many more times!

Beautiful day, perfect setting, great food and service! We even got to witness a proposal(she said yes!)which added an element of special meaning to our experience.

I’m not usually one to write reviews, but Bouchon definitely earned its stars last night! My fiancé and I came for Valentine’s Day dinner and were expecting the typical “lower quality service and rushed atmosphere” but were extremely impressed with all bouchon had to offer! From start to finish, the service was impeccable. I cannot stress enough- if it weren’t for the adorable heart-shaped balloons and rose-petal covered tables, we wouldn’t have even been able to tell it was Valentine’s Day (in the best way possible). On top of the incredible, friendly, and warm service, the food was also top-notch. Starting with the fresh sourdough bread, rounding out with the delectable French-onion soup, to the perfectly cooked surf and turf, this truly was one of the better meals we’ve had. My fiance even said the Warm Lemon-Berry cake was probably in his top 5 desserts ever! So thank you, bouchon, for your incredible staff, delicious food, and giving my fiance and I a new favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara!
