    We were celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary. They showered our table with red rose petal and put us next to the fireplace. After that, they handed us 2 glasses of champagne to start the evening. It was such a kind gesture and my husband and I appreciated it very much. The food was outstanding. ! We both had Filet mignon and my husband had the French Onion soup to start. The Staff was very attentive to all of our needs! WE loved the intimate feel of the restaurant and will definitely be going back when we visit SB again. Thank you to all who made our anniversary special!!

    We went here for Easter Brunch and had reservations for the 9am seating although reservations were not needed as there was only one other table in the dining room. The brunch was not setup by 9am and the staff was busy getting the food out on the buffet line. The only food put out were the petite pastries, sliced fruit and dessert. Eventually the seafood and meats were brought out but the poke was put out just as cubed tuna but was shortly replaced as the actual poke. The pastries and desserts were store bought and the rosemary rub on the prime rib was too strong. We also felt the prime rib was too rare and probably cooked the day before. They did have an omelette station but discovered it only after an employee pointed it out. It would have been good to hear about this from our server. Overall, we feel the $95 cost of the brunch was high for the quality and freshness of the food. Also, coffee was not included and had to pay extra for it. We constantly had to request refills and to have our plates removed from our table.

    We strongly recommend Intermezzo - the staff is knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and consistently so. The food is well prepared and the wine list is extensive. As well, it has one of the nicest outdoor dining in town and you are always warm - literally and figuratively.

    Excellent food.  I would definitely go back. The shrimp and the mussels were the best I have had in Santa Barbara. You cannot beat old Paseo for location.
