The Bistro - Santa Barbara

Griffin was a fantastic server. One of the best we’ve ever had. Our food was delicious and the atmosphere was calm and beautiful. Will definitely go back!

Beautiful location looking over the sea. We sat on the patio. I had the caprese salad with crostini. It was amazing! They even brought a dish of water for my pup! Service was good. They did take a while to bring us a glass of water...pup got their water first!

The location is beautiful the weather was great. Unfortunately our dinner was horrible due to the lack of service and our server Luis. HE WAS TERRIBLE! No one refilled our waters to a point where we had to go and get the water ourselves. We asked for a sharing plates and our food got cold waiting for them. Food is decent but the lack of service is beyond I’ve ever experienced

This was an unexpected fantastic dinner. We came for the weekend to the Ritz Carlton for a special Saturday night chef dinner. We decided we would grab dinner at the Bistro to be convenient. The dinner was delicious! We were completely caught off guard. The corn chowder, fresh and even crunchy with kernels of corn. The frisée arugula salad with lemon and Parmesan, was Perfectly dressed and so good! We split the Cioppino, it was the best weever had! Fresh with a very very good broth. Which made it convenient with the hearty bread we were served. The polenta was creamy and white, again the best we ever had! Finished off with warm apple tart and caramel ice cream. One of the best meals ever. The Chef Adrian was passionate and John ,our server, was excellent! Tonight we go to a private chef dinner and we hope it is half as good!

Wonderful way to start a week in SB! Sunset dinner! You won't wanna miss this!
