About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

Bar Le Côte is a stylish seafood tavern located in Los Olivos, California. Inspired by the daily catch of the Central Coast and the modern cuisine of Europe’s seaside capitals, our team prepares thoughtful maritime fare in a casual, social atmosphere.

We have very limited patio seating and do not allow dogs to dine indoors. If you would like to reserve an outdoor table please email us at info@barlecote.com and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

We hold a portion of our tables for walk-ins, however we do recommend a reservation to guarantee being seated. We give all reservations a 15 minute grace period before being released to other guests. Thank you for your understanding!

* Please note that ride shares and taxis can be hard to come by in the valley, especially later in the evening. We will always do our best to assist in getting you a ride, but please plan accordingly *

Sister restaurant to nearby Michelin star Bells. Specializes in local sourced produce and Santa Barbara seafood. Highly creative menu. Outstanding front of house staff. Highly knowledgeable and provide excellent suggestions. Very intimate space yet surprisingly quiet even with a full house. No bar but tremendous wine list full of hidden gems for the Santa Ynez Valley. Perfect spot for special occasions. If you luck get John C. as your waiter.

In all of our times in Los Olivos this was first time at Bar Le Côte. It was recommended by a co-worker so we wanted to make sure to check out during or visit. The ambience and decor were great and our server, Henry, was attentive and friendly. His recommendation for wine was spot on. We started off with the yellowtail crudo which was tasty and refreshing. To counter the healthiness of that we decided to try their BLC Spiced Fries. They were perfectly fried and seasoned and included a dipping sauce that made me forget about ketchup. For the entree my wife ordered the Crispy Skin Branzino and I selected the Heritage Pork Chop. Both were expertly cooked and delicious. We loved the fennel sides that accompanied both dishes, but the puree for the pork chop was far too salty for my tastes. We capped off the dinner with homemade ice cream soaked in brandy. It was simply awesome. Overall we really enjoy our experience at Bar Le Côte and we definitely plan to go back. We appreciated that Henry clearly announced that a service charge had been included in the bill (even though this was also printed on the menu). Henry provided such great service we added a little more. If you like seafood, this is definitely the place to go in Los Olivos. And if you don't, you'll still find plenty to enjoy at this gem of a restaurant.
