   Both of us ordered the Branzino which was delicious. Their preparation was one of my favorites. Will definitely come back.

   Great gluten free menu. Service was exceotional, Manny took very good care of us. My wife had the lasagna and cleaned her plate. Chocolate Decadence cake was a little dry, good thing we had ice cream. Overall excellent and so nice to have a full menu of gluten free choices.

   Delicious! We really enjoyed our meal & our evening at Lilac! We were lucky that we stumbled onto Lilac on the Open Table website while visiting Santa Barbara. Would recommend Lilac to anyone as a traveler or resident

   My wife and I very much enjoyed our dinner at Lilac. We tried the sparkling non-alcoholic reisling wine, and it was very good. We shared the cauliflower as an appetizer, and both enjoyed the branzino for our main course. We substituted broccolini for the potatoes, and it was excellent. We shared the warm cookie and gelato for dessert. It was good, but not as great as I expected. Overall, a nice evening out and a great meal. We will return.

    Amazing! The food, service, and ambience. My favorite restaurant (along with their Patisserie in downtown SB). Their menu has something for everyone, and the staff is very welcoming and attentive. It’s heaven if you’re gluten free, and a delicious experience if you’re not.
