Viva Modern Mexican

We spent some time in the courtyard just enjoying the shade of the outdoor umbrellas and sipping delicious drinks by the fountain. Only reason 4 stars is we didn't try the food.

My husband and I recently hosted our son's rehearsal dinner for about 80 people at Viva Santa Barbara & it was absolutely perfect!
Dina helped us from beginning to end. She was so easy, knowledgeable, & pleasant to work with and was always available to guide us with planning for the party and the menu. She could not have been more helpful. She was present for the entire party and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Dina's wonderful suggestions and ideas made the whole party so easy for us.
Our private room & terrace were decorated beautifully. The hors d'ouevres, main dish buffet, & desert display were all absolutely delicious and plentiful. The open bar was perfect and the drinks were fantastic. All of the servers and bartenders were amazing, friendly, and made each guest feel so comfortable.
I can easily say that our rehearsal dinner was a huge success. We are so happy that we chose Viva Santa Barbara and can recommend them wholeheartedly and without any hesitation.

Definitely worth trying. the food was fantastic for my brothers engagement party. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone to eat there at least once.

It's a very good restaurant. Good food and great service. I make it a point to stop in every time I'm going through Santa Barbara. Public parking just to the north is free for the first 75 minutes, so you have incentive to order and eat quickly! ????

This special place will not disappoint you. Deliciously crafted modern plates fill your mouth with flavor. Thanks to the experienced cooks and staff , your experience will be unforgettable. Nice restaurant.
