El Encanto, A Belmond Dining Room

Excellent food and service on Tuesday night. Crab cake starter and blacked divers scallops main dish. Lovely organic vegetables and bread. Finished with chocolate raspberry dessert. Splendid evening again. Our 3rd time this year!

We are very fond of dining at El Encanto. It is an elegant Santa Barbara landmark, and we find the food and service very good. On our last visit, the wait staff went out of their way to help us find just the right table and to make our evening special and enjoyable. We're also fond of the live singer/musician playing soft background music.

Each experience at this beautiful restaurant is truly unique. Our server, Alfred was amazing and made us feel welcome and at home. Can't wait to return!

My friend and I very much enjoyed the Thanksgiving Buffett! Champagne was included but we both prefer wine with our dinner and it was quite expensive at $28.00 a glass. We had already paid the $165. per person excluding tax and tip so all together we had a $300. dinner each. The environment was extremely beautiful and we felt unhurried and very pampered so would do it again in years to come.

Service and food was great! Would recommend... We will be back...
