- EELSAVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoOne of the very best restaurants in Santa Barbara. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. It’s easy to label the food as Californian or New/Contemporary American, yet there is a uniquely local vibe that permeates the entire menu. Each dish showcases its primary ingredients with often interesting and playful flavors and textures. Standouts from the current menu (December 2024) include the acorn papardelle, crispy pork belly with bbq beignets. The persimmon salad with Urfa vinegraitte perfectly balances out the richer dishes. Don’t skip the bread, which is made with an 11 year-old starter and is served warm. For dessert, the Baked California is never to be missed and should probably be trademarked. The Chamango, with its spot-on blend of Tajín, mango and chamoy is a celebration to and a tribute of the humble Mexican fruit stand that I really hope stays on the menu.More infoBarbareñoPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.8
- MMarionVancouver / British Columbia •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoEverything about this restaurant was top notch. One of the most impressive aspects of the experience was how a number of times we were asked about the quality of our food/ experience and how the staff there worked as a coordinated professional team. A restaurant staff obviously working as a team is rare to see. We were lucky enough to have met the owner-Tina, and from our conversation she appears to have a leadership style which is respectful and encourages excellence. Many of these staff will do well in the future.More infoOKUPrice: Expensive• Asian• Santa Barbara•4.8

- CCynthiaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMy son and I had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at a lovely table by the front window. The special menu items were delicious and reasonably priced and the service was warm and attentive. My son said his martini was one of the best he’s had and the wine with dinner was perfect. Even though the restaurant is small and lots of people were there to dine, we never felt rushed. A truly delightful experience.More infoOpal Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.8
