Restaurants near Mission Plaza Shopping Center

My girlfriend is allergic to garlic, and the chef and staff accommodated her dietary restrictions; the chef even prepared a special mussel dish for us. It was a memorable experience, indeed.

Beautiful day, perfect setting, great food and service! We even got to witness a proposal(she said yes!)which added an element of special meaning to our experience.

Considering it was Valentine’s Day I think the restaurant did amazing overall! The food was amazing, the service was top notch. The noise was very loud but that’s understandable considering how many tables were in there. We will definitely be back.

I came here as a fan on the movie Sideways. My meal was excellent and the service was even better. I had filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. Lentil soup was superb! My server was Autumn and she was personable, professional, polite, and provided excellent service. The wine was excellent. I would highly recommend the Hitching Post II.

Bell's is, without a doubt, one of my favorite restaurants in the entire state of California. Along with its sister restaurant, Bar Le Cote in Los Olivos, it offers cuisine influenced by both the local products of the Central Coast (locally-farmed produce, Santa Barbara sea urchin, and the like), and both modern and classic European influences. I make it a point to visit at least one, if not both, of these two restaurants, whenever I am in the area, and I would consider them to be worth a trip or at at least a detour, when driving up and down the California coast. The food is fresh, innovative, and extremely flavorful, and the service is always top notch. The a la carte lunch menu at Bell's is extremely fun. I think it would be impossible to come here and not enjoy yourself.
