bouchon Santa Barbara Reviews
We reserved the Cork Room and it was perfect for our family
We reserved the Cork Room and it was perfect for our family dinner after our SB courthouse ceremony. Staff was amazing to work with from beginning to end- made our entire experience seamless to plan. Even the pickier eaters in our family enjoyed the

If you don't care for venison, lamb and duck you might as well pass. There is a $60 ribeye, but I would pass on this too. The menu is just too limited for my liking. No full bar and the atmosphere seems a bit crowded.
Service was not great.
Let us sit at our table for 15 minutes before we got up and left and that was with an appointment on the books. The table next to us stated that they had a delicious meal but we're also waiting for the check.
Absolutely wonderful experience.
The last time I had been to Bouchon was over 10 years ago, so I was truly happy to discover this place was still here, and still going strong. If anything, it's gotten better. The service is impeccable - knowledgeable, professional and warm;
Took the wifee for her Birthday the last 2 years.
She had the duck again and I had the roasted chicken. Both we excellent. The barrata salad was a little disappointing. The chocolate soufflé cake with ice cream is the bomb. The waiter is also fantastic. Thanks again for making my decision where to

My first choice "Special Occasion" restaurant in SB - they have great local wines, pair them well with the specials of the day, and the staff is 100% there for creating ambiance. In fact, the host added rose petals to our table after learni
I've been dining at Bouchon for 20+ years.
The food is always highest quality and service is professional and attentive.
Perfect family event in the private dining room
We shared a family reunion dinner in Bouchon’s private “Cork Room” a couple days ago and it was perfect! The spacious room and table fit our party of fourteen very comfortably, and we had complete privacy behind a curtain separating us from th

Excellent all around! From the service to the food, this is the place to eat when in Santa Barbara, with attention to detail, superb customer service (thank you Christian!) and incredible food, make Bouchon a must visit. The fish of the day, pacific

Family Celebration
We had a family gathering in Santa Barbara over the weekend and we booked a room at Bouchon. We were a group of 16 people and we were given a private room with perfect ambience. It was perfect size and everyone was seated comfortably. The set menu co
Yum! We had a lovely dinner at Bouchon.
The food was exceptional. The atmosphere is laid-back and refined at the same time. In the tradition of fine dining, timing was well paced with plenty of time to visit and enjoy.

We were so impressed with the service, the ambiance and the food! We were greeted by two very friendly men at the front door and from that moment on we felt like we were the only customers there (which was not true, the restaurant was filled!) We e
Had dinner reservations to dine at Bouchon.
When we checked in, we didn't wait very long to be seated. Our server was very nice and attentive. We started with escargots and the scallops - both were amazing. The escargot was in this wonderful pastry- haven't tried it prepared that way
Beautiful restaurant, impeccable service, and delicious
Beautiful restaurant, impeccable service, and delicious food. Highly recommend. The only suggestion that I would make is more options that are not containing meat. There were very few of these. Otherwise it's a great place and very good service.
By far the worst experience I've ever had.
I have never had a truly horrible service experience until I came here on 8/25/25. Where to begin I have no idea, our waiter was rude, condescending and even mocked us. The another server was rude and even raised his voice at us while we waited outsi

Good atmosphere.
Well mannered servers but looking back, they were a little pretentious. Appetizers and entrees were arranged beautifully like all their other photos. Not as authentic as one might think. The wagyu was not melt in the mouth tender, however, it was fla

Disappointed on this visit
Food quality did not justify the price we paid for our meals. My wife had roasted chicken which was dry and not much seasoning. We had high expectations based on Trip Advisor ratings and were disappointed.
A very tasty dinner
The food was really good. The service was superb. You won't go wrong the menu has something for everyone. Enjoy a nice romantic dinner and it also has great local wines which was nice of the restaurant to support their local wines makers. We h
Really Good
Great food and scenery (outdoors). Convenient location too! The staff is nice but I don’t know why they made us wait outside instead of seating us a few minutes early.
Amazing dinner at Bouchon
My husband and I had a lovely dinner at Bouchon. The mixed organic sweet greens salad we chose for starter was delightfully refreshing and light. Bouchon’s maple glazed duck breast and confit, we heard, is their signature dish and was awesome , as

Special family celebration
The food was perfection and the surroundings were so lovely, its a special memory for our family celebration that we will always remember fondly.
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 l

Perfect birthday dinner choice
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
A perfect dinner there tonight.
Loved the outdoor seating...relaxed and friendly. We started with the Mixed Organic Sweet Greens salad and escargot. The salad was refreshing. The escargot was a large number of snails, extremely tender and the garlic was restrained. Totally deliciou

Excellent dinner at Bouchon for our anniversary.
We decided to try several items and were satisfied with each plate. To start we had their recommended Cabernet and house passion tea. Both were excellent choices. To start we did the scallops trio for two. Glad we shared because it was much more th

Gosh I love this place.
This Bouchon is not the same as Chef Keller's Bouchon. Tri of scallops: AMAZING!!! loved every bite. Duck: cooked perfectly and well executed Venison: I would order it again. I like how it comes on a bed of yummy healthy barley Fish of the day
Anniversary dinner
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.

An amazing meal at Bouchon! High quality, seasonal ingredients perfectly executed. Attentive, friendly service and elegant yet still cozy ambiance made dining experience really enjoyable. Definitely a higher end restaurant but pricing is very reasona
I thought food wasn't that great but Price was reasonable.
Ambiance was not what expected. We were set outside in a tent with heaters next to the side walk. It was a rainy evening. Service was ok and the waiter was pleasant and helpful. Would I go there again? No
Outstanding experience.
What a delight to visit this restaurant while spending a couple days in Santa Barbara. Found this restaurant on Open Table. Food quality, taste, and presentation, were all top notch. The scallop trio was delicious. Especially like the tomato offe

Excellent dining experience! The duck was extremely tender and so full of flavor. Highly recommend.
One 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 recomm

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
Excellent 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/complain

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to bouchon Santa Barbara at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the bouchon Santa Barbara page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at bouchon Santa Barbara to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at bouchon Santa Barbara!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
