El Encanto A Belmond Santa Barbara

Service!!! Food!!! Views!!! Tucked away in a beautiful hilltop location with views of the Pacific. So relaxing.

Wonderful stay, staff super efficient and friendly. Highly recommend staying here! A short distance from downtown but worth the views! Truly spectacular!

This property really has to be experienced. It is above the city and the main beachfront shopping areas of Santa Barbara, but worth at the very least one night of your time in SB. The property is so classic and over the top on staff attention. The views, the cocktails and food were exceptional. I cannot wait to return. I call this relaxed luxury don't miss it.

The food and the view at the restaurant was superb! Highly recommend for a quiet date night up in the hills.

**ORIGINAL REVIEW:** This is one of the top restaurants in Santa Barbara, particularly for its stunning view. Unfortunately, due to a few drops of rain, the patio was closed, and we were seated in the back room, which wasn't ideal. However, the food was delicious, and the service was incredibly attentive. The whole roasted chicken for two was expertly cooked and packed with flavor. The ice cream desserts from Rori's were outstanding, and the bread was a delightful surprise. The charcoal apricot bread may not sound appealing, but give it a try—you'll love it!
