EXCEPTIONAL. Food service our waiter Chris was beyond expectations. Being Italian , we thought our grandmother,s were in the kitchen . Chris was so friendly , sincere and attentive . we have tried several restaurants in the Santa Barbara area over the years and Tre Lune is probably the best of all. we would drive to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles again just to have a meal at this restaurant.
