Bella Vista - Montecito

This place is in Montecito off of Chanel Dr. near the ocean. The atmosphere here is amazing. That's what you're really paying for. The outdoor dining experience is truly memorable. The ocean view is delightful and the beautiful sun in the background is breath taking. The service was impeccable. The food however, was a little sub par for a place such as this. The presentation is wonderful, I just don't think they use the highest ingredients as the flavor profiles were a bit off. I've only been here once, so I can't say all of their food is the same. I just left a little disappointed.

Such good food .. more than just sweets n bread .. tortas are amazing.. posole on the weekends!! Great service .. enjoy something authentic

The finest of the finest. The service is impeccable and the food is amazing. If you want to treat yourself squeeze into Bella Vista. The veiw from the patio any time of day is so-cal at it's best. One of Montecitos best restaurants.

A beautiful setting, and boy, do you ever pay for it. Brunch, with tip, was $110 per person. The food was good, but nothing extraordinary; the service was very good and our server, Alex, was very attentive to us. The view is to die for and we couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous day it was so clear you could see all of the islands a rare occurance. I will return, but at that price, probably just once a year and for a special occasion.

Fabulous, kind thoughtful service. Food was delicious.
