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!

    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.

    Dining at Bouchon was a delightful experience . From Nicholas, the very knowledgeable and attentive server, to the excellent food and exquisite desserts, we could not have asked for more.

    The outside dining on the street just doesn’t cut it for a high end place. Zero ambiance. The food and service is great, but this Covid holdover dining space has to go. Won’t return until that’s gone
