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!

We started our meal with excellent cocktails. Well-made and delicious. I had the kale salad as an entree. The dressing was so good. My husband had the salmon. Very moist and the accompaniments were interesting and tasty. Josiah was our very accommodating waiter. Nothing we asked was too much. He even had an adffogato concocted for our dessert. The restaurant is bright and airy with a fun ambiance.
