The Roundhouse At Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

The service here was wonderful. The restaurant is very clean and updated and the food was fresh, hot and tasty.

We had an Open Table reservation for December 27th, Thursday. Dressed up. Took Uber. RESTAURANT CLOSED!!!!

The staff was very nice but has no control over the menu or food preparation. The kitchen was very slow, which it always was. So slow, the man at a table next to us walked back there to complain. The holiday limited menu didn't have old fashioned turkey, maybe not enough interest. I ordered medium rare prime rib that was served medium almost medium well. The asparagus and hollandaise sauce covered half of the prime rib, The was no horseradish sauce or au jus, only sauce that I thought was sweet. After the slow kitchen, I wasn't going to send it back. My wife had the fish which was also over-cooked, but the vegetable on both of our plates were excellent. $95 prime rib is in our budget, but it was not a value. We stayed at the hotel and it is beautiful, staff gracious, and the food was excellent (moules-frites were the best I've had in along time). We'll be back next year, but we'll eat at another restaurant on Christmas night.

We went to celebrate a birthday. We had reservations. About 7 or 8 tables of the maybe 20 tables in the restaurant were being used so not even half full. It took forever for someone to come and take our drink order. And it took forever for the drinks to be served. My martini glass was only half full when it was served. Did most of it spill? And the olives I requested were at the bottom of the glass no toothpick. Had to get them out with my fingers. Salads were good. Steak and mashed potatoes came both at room temp. Had to ask for a steak knife. Asked to have the potatoes reheated. The bowl was hot when the potatoes were returned but the potatoes were still at room temp. Didn't send semi warm steak back thought I might not ever get it back if I did. Bouillabaisse was good but no seafood cocktail forks were available nor did they bring a bowl for the empty shells. Had to go to the bar to get the wine we ordered. It never did show up because they lost the order. The food tasted good but the service was a disaster. The servers were very nice and polite but it seems like the restaurant was very understaffed or the people were not trained to serve. The manager apologized and did comp things but this is a hotel restaurant and not at all that busy so things should have been better. The evening was very disappointing.

Unfortunately Reodney’s was closed. They have decreased the days they are open. HOWEVER, THEY HAD NOT NOTIFIED OPEN TABLE OF THESE CHANGES AND RESERVATIONS WERE BEING BOOKED. Very disappointing situation...
