bouchon Santa Barbara

Authentic French fare. High quality, top-notch food. You will pay and you will be thrilled.

We didn't eat in their formal dining room, we reserved their special events room, The Cork Room. We had excellent service from a designated server for the evening. Before our event, I was able to talk with the manager about the table linens, the menu, the wine selection, place setting options and the room decor. We did not feel rushed out or rushed through the courses, and the service was very nice.

Average food (had salmon and sea bass). Nice waiters. Terrible coffee (burn espresso in metal cups). Nothing delicious. Only risotto was tasty.

Skills of waiters are also average.

Absolutely do not understand why so much people so in love in this place.

Perhaps it is wow for American standards. For people from Europe - total disappointment.

And toilet. Why so dirty and dusty?! We are not in train station in public toilet, but feels like that....

californian food here - very tasty. i love eating here. i had a brother come into town and asked me to take him back here. this place has a nice design. not so close to my office, unfortunately.

Beautifully prepared, fresh wine country cuisine. The trio of seared scallops is a revelation, the salad was a great mix of flavors and textures, and the salmon on a bed of warm german potato salad was perfectly cooked. The service is friendly and attentive without being over-bearing. The dining room is warm and inviting, and the tables on the entry patio are especially nice on a warm evening. The wine list, with a few exceptions, focuses on top producers from Santa Barbara County and did not disappoint.
