- SsallyVIPCalifornia Central Coast •91 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoA casual but elevated neighborhood gem. Start with a selection of the freshest, brightest oysters I've had in a very long time. Lobster roll was filled nicely with claw meat and came with generous stack of addictive shoestring potatoes. Lime tart great finish. The bar works magic with the spritzers. Our server Michele was knowledgeable and attentive and helped make this a lovely evening for us to catch up with our friend.More infoClark's Oyster Bar - MontecitoPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Montecito•4.5

- SSierraSan Diego •1 review4.0Dined on Apr 5, 2025We came here to celebrate our first anniversary together. The food was amazing the views were beautiful. The staff was okay but did not ask anything personal, why we were there, what we were celebrating, etc. Just very minimal contact/conversation. Had to flag down the server a few times and we got our wine during our meal so we had to awkwardly finish after we already ate.. A little bit of a bummer when celebrating and paying a decent price for a nice meal. Just didn’t feel very warm or intentional. But overall a good experience, everyone was nice enough. Would go again for the food. Probably not for a special occasion though.More infoThe Harbor RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Santa Barbara•3.9
- LLisaCalifornia Central Coast •52 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 13, 2024The Caesar Salad was fresh and the dressing was a tasty surprise. The Veal Milanese breading was crispy and paired nicely with the buttery, cheesy fettuccine. My friends both enjoyed their Spinach Ravioli and Pappardelle Vodka. Topped it off with us all sharing the Warm Lava Cake...delish!More infoChase RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Santa Barbara•4.1
