We came for the 3-course Apero dinner. We added the marrow bone, which was amazing! My only complaint was that the stroganoff was too salty. The flavors were great, otherwise.

Service was friendly, but 3 of four starters and entrees (for our party of four) ranged from bland/disagreeable to uneatable. "Pickled" dishes (crudo, risotto) were so acidic as to be offensive. Recipes mostly poorly conceived. The cassoulet was passable, and apple crumble dessert the only tasty dish. Overall poor value. We won't ever eat here again.

Simply must try the 4 course meal, Chef’s choice. We were greeted like old friends and handed a wonderful refreshing champagne to settle in. Mais attends, Il y a plus (but wait, there’s more) nine dishes were beautifully chosen considering the amazing variety of flavors. Fantastic ! There’s no rush and you’ll feel content instead of overstuffed. Next time we’re in Santa Barbara we’ll be back. Cheers!
