    Overall out standing experience. Arrived earlier than reserved and were able to be seated on a busy Friday evening. Waiter was both knowledgeable and helpful as well as very pleasant. All 3 entrees were exceptional, I don’t think any are less than superb. Enjoyed the energetic but not overly loud ambiance. A definite go to when in Santa Barbara.

    The gem of West Beach if not Santa Barbara. Elegant without being stuffy, a wonderful culinary experience. Beautiful ambiance, right on the beach, great staff, inviting bar, always a pleasure to be there. Great for locals and tourists alike.

    Love, love, love this place. Service was off a little, but we are loyal fans of this magical spot. Arugula salad was superb, as was the short ribs. and fritto misto.
