I migliori ristoranti che valgono il viaggio a Montecito

My son and I went to Bell's last summer during a road trip up to Northern California on the 101 and loved it. We originally considered taking the 5 for the same trip this year but when we realized there's nothing remotely like Bell's on that route, we rerouted-- even though it's at least an hour longer trip than the five. That turned out to be an excellent call . Despite the fact that we'd only been there once before, and that my son has grown about a foot since then, we were recognized and warmly welcomed back (we did order a LOT of food for the two of us the first time, which may have helped). The food and the service was as good as we remembered. Our favorites were the pana cotta uni, escargot and the sardines, but everything that everyone else was eating looked amazing too. My son had the mussels for his main and I had the salad with steak, which was the best salad I've had in a long time. The mussels were great, but the fries that came with them were next level. For dessert we were treated to a complimentary pavlova, which was refreshing and light after a fairly filling meal. We also found room for the cookie plate-- chocolate, oatmeal and almond. They were all excellent (and we're kind of cookie snobs). Wish this place wasn't three hours from home, but well worth not just a stop, but a detour!

Amazing creative fresh food and service that felt authentic — like more than people going through the motions. Awesome vibe !!

A lovely evening out on the patio. Service was very attentive, but we weren't rushed in any way. We enjoyed two of the chef's special appetizers and main courses from the menu, all excellent, including the lamb chops and the Pasta Bolognese. The wine menu has a couple of bargains but otherwise is mostly overpriced, so you might want to bring your own bottle and spring for the corkage fee. We hadn't eaten here for four years and it still was as good as we remembered it.

After missing Chase Bar and Grill during the restoration after the fire and the Pandemic, it was wonderful to spend our 47th anniversary dinner here. We have been coming to Chase since their beginning and find the service, food and class, superior to anything in Santa Barbara or Ventura Counties. Congratulations on coming back and keeping the same top-quality chiefs we have come to expect. The Fettuccine Alfredo and Chicken Piccata are fantastic. They treat you like family and the service is always perfect. Thank you.

Beautiful interior, very good attentive service, full menu with lots of choices. For Mother's Day presented all mothers with a red rose. They need to work on the parking lot as it can get crowded quickly.
