Best Cosy Restaurants in Montecito

The service was top notch. I made last-minute reservation, so we were seated outside, it was a bit chilly, they surrounded us with heaters and brought us a blanket. Our server was great, very efficient. The food was delicious! Looking forward to returning.

The Confit De Canard (crispy duck on stuffed French toast) at Stella Mare’s is probably my favorite dish of all time. The sweet and the savory are perfectly matched. We had our wedding reception there three years ago and that is when I discovered this dish. When I heard the restaurant was closing at the end of the month I was bummed. The wife and I made a special trip up there yesterday to eat at Stella Mare’s one last time. It was bittersweet. The food and ambiance is top notch, and the prices very reasonable. Santa Barbara is losing a real gem! Sad it won’t be around in a few days and sounds like the restaurant will not be resurrected anywhere else anytime soon, at least that is what our waiter said. 😢 Cheers to the chefs Roth Ironside and Heriberto Munoz for some great memories!

Lucky’s is our “happy place.” Celebrated our anniversary there last night and as always, perfection!

Good food, good value for money, fast service, and we’re accommodating to us bringing our dog. Would happily go back!

We stumbled upon this charming restaurant on a layover night in Santa Barbara and were pleasantly impressed by the welcoming, friendly and professional staff. Impeccable service and a creative menu complemented by a well curated wine list.
