Service was friendly, but 3 of four starters and entrees (for our party of four) ranged from bland/disagreeable to uneatable. "Pickled" dishes (crudo, risotto) were so acidic as to be offensive. Recipes mostly poorly conceived. The cassoulet was passable, and apple crumble dessert the only tasty dish. Overall poor value. We won't ever eat here again.

The back patio was a cozy, warm hidden gem. We felt like we were dining in a charming alley in France.

Simply must try the 4 course meal, Chef’s choice. We were greeted like old friends and handed a wonderful refreshing champagne to settle in. Mais attends, Il y a plus (but wait, there’s more) nine dishes were beautifully chosen considering the amazing variety of flavors. Fantastic ! There’s no rush and you’ll feel content instead of overstuffed. Next time we’re in Santa Barbara we’ll be back. Cheers!

Wonderful food for a special Bday night out! Our server was well versed in all dishes & wine pairing & had good suggestions and answers to our questions. We also enjoyed talking briefly with our hostess and she served us complimentary champagne spritzers with lemon rind for our Bdays. We thoroughly enjoyed our Coq au Vin and Ricotta Cavatelli dishes! Hope to return soon!
