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!

    Dinner was lovely. Our server, Dave, was great as was the entire staff! They have a vast and varied wine list. there are plenty of starters to chose from. The entree selections are limited but everything we had - the duck, the pork and the steak - was delicious. We are local and always enjoy eating here. We will be back - soon!

    A great place for a good meal and cozy ambiance. Our server Tom was the best, engaging and informative. I wasn’t keen on where the restrooms were but can’t have everything. Overall it was a good experience.
