- DDarcyvipPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •22 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOne of my absolute favorite placed in Santa Barbara! If you care about what ingredients you put into your body this is the place for you! Homemade breads, dressings, sauces. Locally sourced. All the dishes are truly unique and special. They change the menu so currently my favorites are the Hamburger, lamb dish, persimmon salad. I do miss their smashed crispy potatoes so I DO HOPE they bring those back!!More infoBarbareñoPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.8
- DDebLos Angeles •85 reviews5.0Dined on 9 Nov 2024We 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.More infoTerra at The Steward HotelPrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Goleta•4.1
