About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
We are delighted to have added additional outdoor seating but Santa Barbara nights are chilly so bring a sweater or light jacket!

Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care. Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine. Warm, inviting ambiance, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace. Santa Barbara ‘Wine Country Cuisine’ means we source our ingredients using an ‘as-fresh-and-as-local-as-possible’ approach, with fish from the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from the surrounding countryside. We then take into account how these flavors can be presented in concert with our local wines. We believe you’ll taste the difference. Bon Appètit!

    The cuisine at Bouchon honors and give a true homage to the French cooking techniques and sauces. The dishes were delicate and subtlety was there, I had a true emotional connection with the asparagus as it brought me back to my grandmother’s kitchen. I have to also note that the service from start to finish was impeccable, with the attention to detail and the presence, all while to being overbearing. Great job!

    Dinner tonight was amazing! It’s been 5 years since I was at Bouchon and I am happy to come back to the delicious experience that is still over the top! The pan seared salmon was the most! Started with the crab cakes and a salad! Didn’t get to leave room for the lava cake, but will be back for it! Haha! Thank you for a great homecoming to Santa Barbara!

    Every aspect of our dinner exceeded expectations. Their hospitality skills were ideal through the entire staff. The menu was varied. Our duck and venison were prepared perfectly. The wine list is the star of the restaurant.

    We went for our anniversary. They had a nice card for us when we came in and rose petals on every table. Great wait staff and our server was very knowledgeable about the wines. We started with the goat cheese tart which was divine. Husband had the lamb which he loved and I had the salmon cooked to perfection. Dessert was the profiteroles. It was a great experience and highly recommend.
