Barbareño

I have gone twice in a month! The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. Tonight we had the lamb flat bread appetizer and the grilled avocado appetizer, both were excellent. Bread, entrees, and desert were all delicious. A little pricey but I think it is worth it.

Great food and awesome service! They were very accommodating to my fiancé's dairy and gluten allergies. We'll definitely be back!

Great food, service and atmosphere! The duck bao bun is a real treat--as good as any i have ever had. The chicken and ranch was delicious as was the plate of pork. The wine list is extensive and reasonable and the Eucalyptus desert was over the top perfect. Can't wait to return.

Barbareño is an interesting mix of high class dining and relaxed Santa Barbara style. The interior is lovely while the patio feels like you're eating in a dolled up parking lot—because you are—but it still works and feels classy. They do a great job of building story behind their food and sourcing locally and they have some really great flavors. I'll be honest that I don't quite feel like I received the quality I was paying for on the food (and because of the small portions) but the service actually does make up for it. Overall it's a nice place to go and splurge.

A place to go for upscale dining and a very friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff. An extensive line of local wines and also beer from local breweries. A great dining experience! Oh, and great food I might add. How could I forget that? You gotta order the Tri-Tip.
