Not vegetarian friendly, but food was okay
We went for dinner on the hotel's recommendation - it was okay. They were a little off-putting when we got there - not overly welcoming, and the service seemed forced, not genuine. Food was good, but it was a little off too - like the tuna was more like a niçoise forced into a dinner option. There were also no options for a vegetarian.

The staff really “rose” to the occasion with the petals on our table to celebrate my best friend’s birthday. We both loved our dinner choices: me, the scallop trio and she, the pacific snapper. Wine choices lovely and the ambiance was chic and inviting. Merci Bouchon!

This was our anniversary trip to Santa Barbara and heard about this restaurant from the hotel staff. Glad we went on their recommendation as it was wonderful. Had escargot and venison, very delicious. Great local and French wine selection.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the top 3 in Santa Barbara. Always superb.
For ambience, quality of food, and level of service, Bouchon is among the very best in town. Owners Mitch and Amy run a very tight ship here, and their attention to detail is evident throughout. The venison is superb. As is the duck. Highly recommended dining experience. Just go.
Be the first to ReplyQuaint and Elegant Dinner
We came here for my sister in law’s 50th birthday. Our table was set with flowers and some rose petals, it was a pleasant surprise! The atmosphere was relaxed and quite enjoyable. The mixed greens salad was very simple but full of flavor! I will have to figure out their dressing because it was that good! We all ate something different and we all loved our dishes. I will definitely go back.
Be the first to ReplyA very Memorable Dinner
We celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary and could not have picked a better place. The atmosphere, food, wine were all over the top. We all ordered something different and tasted each other's dinner...WOW. The chef and kitchen prepare dishes like those we've had in Paris and Lyon. We had two small children with us and the restaurant made sure they were taken care of.

Food spectacular and beautifully executed. Great and varied menu with a wine-enthusiast’s wine list, supported by waiter’s deep knowledge of local makers. Friendly, engaging and professional service. Relaxed atmosphere and nothing to much trouble. Loved it.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent Fine Dining at a reasonable price
Restaurant was closed b a great location off of State Street. Sat outside in the ‘Street Parklet’ they created. It was a very well done parklet. Food was EXCELLENT! Wine list was EXCELLENT and reasonably priced. My only minor issue/complaint was that they had all of the shades down, so it felt a bit claustrophobic. The next night we walked by and the shades were up and very open. Not sure why they were closed for our dinner?
Be the first to ReplyThe Dinner That IS Worth A Thousand Words….Bouchon
Finding the perfect place to celebrate friends, incredible food and unsurpassed service…Bouchon! From the moment we arrived I knew my research had paid off. We were seated at Table 1 right by the kitchen…and the master of the creations Chef Nate. Everyone on the team took part in providing us a magical epicurean journey. Telling you what we dined on would ruin the experience. You have to dine at Bouchon. It is a must when you are in Santa Barbara. If you make a reservation tell them the Greens sent you!
Be the first to ReplyGreat French food
I had special meal, venison.excellent food, service and atmosphere. We sat inside because it was chilly, but they had the heaters on outside and it looked comfy. Pricey, though.
Be the first to ReplyGreat experience
Booked this place on a Monday evening for later Monday night. Managed to get in but I’d say it’s busy towards weekend. Extremely nice setting. A variety of inside and outside seating. Attentive and professional staff throughout. Food excellent, good choices and nicely presented dishes. Service great. Good wine and drinks choices.
Be the first to ReplyGood but expected more from this restaurant chain
Great service from the hostess, our server was very nice, knowledgeable. We’ve been to different restaurants by the same owner including the bouchon in Napa. In general we liked our meal but was very disappointed with the onion soup. I ordered it because it is one of my favorite and it is featured on their page. It looked burned, where is the cheese? The soup tasted watered down and no flavor. This looks like the frozen onion soup I get from trader Joe, even that has better flavor. The scallops trio was very good, the duck and venison were good to, definitely recommend these other dishes.
Be the first to ReplyNot sure what happened
Starting with the positives, lovely ambiance, nice service & beautiful cutlery. Rarely give an ave. review but the meal was underwhelming & expensive for what was served. Ordered crab cakes, butternut squash soup, mushroom appetizer, two lamb entrees & the brussel spout side. Nothing food wise stood out or warranted the price, definitely not the crab cakes. Entrees took a long time, more than 30 min, after finishing appetizers. Most of the reviews are fabulous & wanted to try - not sure what happened.

Great food, service and atmosphere. I had the duck which was superb. Others had the pork venison and lamb all equally delicious. Did not disappoint
Be the first to ReplyThe Worst Dinner I Never Ate – Zero Stars
Do not bother making a reservation at Bouchon. We did and were sorely disappointed. My husband and I traveled to Santa Barbara to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. About one month in advance, we made reservations for dinner on a Sunday at Bouchon using Open Table. We noted that we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and would appreciate a special table. We reconfirmed our reservation through Open Table two times as the date neared. We arrived 5 minutes prior to our reservation time of 7PM. There was one couple at the hostess stand in front of us. They did not have a reservation and were given the option of inside or out. They chose inside. When we checked in next the only place they could seat us was outside in one of those make-shift wooden patios sitting on top of the asphalt street directly next to the road. When we mentioned our anniversary, how far in advance we made the reservation, and that we asked for a nice table we were told we didn’t request inside so there was nothing they could do for us. Open Table did not offer inside or outside so it appears Bouchon can’t communicate well with their booking app either. This is the worst customer service we have ever received from a restaurant. Had this restaurant been managed properly, they would never have given our table away to walk-up guests. Further, they did nothing to get us to stay. They didn’t say how long we would have to wait for an inside table, they did not offer for us to sit at the bar to wait for a table (and certainly no offer of a free drink for their screw-up). When we asked for a recommendation as to where we could go, they told us to go next door. We did go next door to Olio e Limone where we had a great dinner, great service and a terrific bottle of Flying Goat 2014 Pinot! We explained what happened at Bouchon and they were more than happy to accommodate us. This recommendation was the only thing Bouchon got right that night. I would definitely return to Olio e Limone but would never consider Bouchon based on their rude and cocky attitude. Clearly, they don’t care about their patrons. There are lots of great places to eat in Santa Barbara. Choose any one of them but here.

Great looking place for a date night, service was pleasant. Food honestly average, came out lukewarm, and it took about 45 minutes after apps for entrees to come out. We were just about to ask for the check and cancel the rest of the order, but I was starving. No apologies, just big plastic grins and placating “it will be right up”. We didn’t make an issue of it, but great places we frequent will offer a dessert or whatever as a gesture and I usually just add it to the tip, but this place just smiles and offers insincere canned replies when we did check on our dinner. Not horrible, but I’m going to assume there are better options
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely Fantastic!!
My husband and I took my mom to Bouchon for her 82nd Birthday and it was absolutely fantastic! The manager and waiter made her feel like a queen, they sprinkled the table with yellow rose petals, gave her a card and brought dessert with a candle. Our meal was excellent and service exceptional! I would highly recommend Bouchon for any special event or just a wonderful night out!!
Be the first to ReplyFantastic - don't fear the French!
When I hear 'French food' I shudder to think I'm getting weird sauces and strange animal parts ... well, not here at Bouchon Santa Barbara. The food is recognizable to all Americans - crab cakes, onion soup, wagyu steak and yummy salads. All delicious, all fresh and all delightful. This place is a must, you will not be disappointed!
