We are delighted to have added additional outdoor seating but Santa Barbara nights are chilly so bring a sweater or light jacket!Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care. Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine. Warm, inviting ambiance, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace. Santa Barbara ‘Wine Country Cuisine’ means we source our ingredients using an ‘as-fresh-and-as-local-as-possible’ approach, with fish from the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from the surrounding countryside. We then take into account how these flavors can be presented in concert with our local wines. We believe you’ll taste the difference. Bon Appètit!

Contemporary Asian American Restaurant from Chefs Peter Lee & Felicia Medina. "Consider the bao. Chinese in origin, it’s most easily described as a steamed bun filled with something savory. Yet, like the American concept of a sandwich, the bao exploded into a flexible format of untold bounds — served at any meal, filled with you-name-it, completely closed or wide open, with endless regional variants from across Asia and far beyond." - Matt Kettmann (SB Independent)1 Block From State Street, Easy Parking, Public Lot Nearby, Free 75 Minute Parking, Walking Distance, El Pueblo Viejo Landmark District, Superior Court, Spanish Colonial Revival Courthouse, Santa Barbara Museum Of Art, Courthouse Gardens, Bell Tower, Bao, Food, Restaurant, Asian, American, New, Modern, Fried, Chicken, Octopus, Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo, Friendly, Dog Friendly, Outdoor Patio, Heaters, Warm, Inviting, Hospitable, Modern Design

    Peter was amazing, accommodating to all of my parties needs. Knowledgable about the menu and the different offerings of the sushi bar! Great upsell on the hamachi and salmon belly. Made my birthday experience one for the books. Oku stands out thanks to its phenomenal location and extensive menu. Again thank you Peter and the rest of the support staff that made the evening a great one!

    Another outstanding dining experience at Bouchon in Santa Barbara. From start to finish, both the service and the food were exceptional. We began with the classic French onion soup and a fresh arugula salad—both beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Three of us ordered the lamb chops, and they were cooked to perfection. The generous portion included four perfectly prepared chops, tender and flavorful with every bite. For dessert, we shared the profiteroles, a stunning presentation featuring three different varieties. They were as delicious as they were beautiful and provided the perfect ending to the meal. The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and consistently excellent cuisine are what keep us coming back. Simply superb.

    What a perfect place! Great vibe, delicious food, excellent service. Our server, Chloe, was top notch. She handled my dietary restrictions with ease and her recommendations couldn’t have been better. All staff were friendly and welcoming - the host, the bartenders, the wait staff. Not only was the food incredible, they had an impressive selection of wine and spirits. We will definitely make this a staple for every visit to Santa Barbara.
