- FFrankLos Angeles •571 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoI’ve been here many times over the last 15 years and it’s such a beautiful restaurant. The food was amazing and our waiter was fantastic. Valet was terrific too. The hostess was a little stiff and standoffish which was surprising. We’d definitely return again hoping for a perfect dining experience. Thank you Chef!More infoStonehouse at San Ysidro RanchPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Santa Barbara•4.8
- PPenelopeVIPCalifornia Central Coast •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI have to honestly say I almost didn't write this review because I want to be able to get into this restaurant. Our of the kindness of my heart, I have to share. This is the best new restaurant in Montecito in our opinion. We go out to dinner every night, We went to the former restaurant in this space, Cava, many times. We loved it. We missed it when it left. This restaurant is wonderful. First of all, the remodel is great; by one of my favorite architects, Jeff Sheldon. Fabulous. Wonderful ceilings, love the mural, the bar, the lighting all. of it. But the FOOD. My favorite dish on the earth my whole long life is a Lobster Salad Roll. The only good ones I have ever had are on the East Coast. Massachusetts...Maine, There. They do it all wrong in California. Too much bread. Wrong roll. (a hot dog roll? NO! It has to be a small roll, sliced on the sides, grilled with butter....NOT TOO BREADY!!) Absolutely no one does it right here. I am sorry to say. I have tried them ALL. Not enough lobster, Hot lobster, not cold, drenched in butter (that is the "Connecticut style" you can have it.) Heartbreaking (if you have had one in the East on Martha's Vineyard, anywhere in Massachusetts, Maine...wherever.). I just gave up. Clark's has nailed it. So astonishing. They have their own baker who makes the rolls.....just right. She also makes the sourdough bread, and all the bread and desserts.....Lord have mercy! I didn't even mention the shoestring fries.....crispy. Heavenly. So. We have made a weekly reservation.....but, I have to say. The chicken Paillard is out of this world also. Enough already. This restaurant is such a winner. (If you are really lucky, you will sit outside and get Drea for a server). The heaters are great.......even when it is cold!More infoClark's Oyster Bar - MontecitoPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Montecito•4.5
