This has become our special occasion restaurant. The food gets better and better. The service is wonderful especially the last time we went. My drink was a 10/ 10. Everything we ordered we loved we left nothing on the plate.

We went here the other day to celebrate a birthday. We ordered the Hummus and veggie plate 5/5 Side of naan 5/5 Oliver's burgers with the house made Pattie's 5/5 Key lime pie 5/5 Chocolate cake 5/5 A heads up, if you're celebrating here, don't expect a free dessert. They only gave us a candle and wrote on the plate. It's kind of weird they don't give a dessert for a birthday or celebration. Otherwise the food is always great. The staff is always nice. We usually see celebrities here.

Even several of our non-vegetarian friends have claimed this to be their favorite restaurant in Montecito/Santa Barbara! We couldn't have had a nicer meal last night. The environment is perfect; a bit hip and very classy, but never trying too hard to be casual and comfortable either. Their soups are among the best we've had anywhere in the world. Love it!

Their Kung Pao Cauliflower was delicious, and so was the Montecito Mint cocktail. I did not have luck with the Brussel Sprouts. They tasted like a salt shaker had fallen into the sauce.
