Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Santa Paula

One of the very best restaurants in Santa Barbara. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. It’s easy to label the food as Californian or New/Contemporary American, yet there is a uniquely local vibe that permeates the entire menu. Each dish showcases its primary ingredients with often interesting and playful flavors and textures. Standouts from the current menu (December 2024) include the acorn papardelle, crispy pork belly with bbq beignets. The persimmon salad with Urfa vinegraitte perfectly balances out the richer dishes. Don’t skip the bread, which is made with an 11 year-old starter and is served warm. For dessert, the Baked California is never to be missed and should probably be trademarked. The Chamango, with its spot-on blend of Tajín, mango and chamoy is a celebration to and a tribute of the humble Mexican fruit stand that I really hope stays on the menu.

Another incredible meal & time at Lulu. The staff is always friendly and prompt. The dishes are all cooked to perfection. The ribeye is exceptional. Can’t wait to return again.

Seline offers a feast for the senses. The flavors of the dishes are exquisite, the presentation and plating are visually stunning, and the aromas are wonderfully inviting. The service is flawless, with each course perfectly timed for an exceptional dining experience.

Very pleasant dinner on Christmas Eve. Enjoyed the experience from start to finish, from delicious food, friendly and efficient wait staff, and yummy drinks. The owner/chef came out to greet us after our meal and struck up a conversation with our adult son about the local restaurant industry and wholesale auto stuff. Very friendly, down-to-earth guy, and easy to communicate with. As far as the food goes, the steak skewers were a hit! You must try these! Everything else was tasty as well, the chicken, branzino, and lamb breast. Very creative menu with unique flavors - not your run-of-the-mill seafood and steak restaurant.

My sister and had had a lovely brunch seated outside.
