Sushi Bar Montecito Santa Barbara Reviews
An epic experience from start to finish.

First timers here, awesome experience celebrated our anniversary. All the chefs were great, we had Chef Haluk on our side and his protege Kaden who just started that week. I was nervous in the beginning because Haluk was very serious haha, then he tu

Nope. Not it. Unless you're ok sitting next to naked babies (no clothing except diapers) who get breastfed right at the omakase counter. Then the mom just stands up for 45 minutes shaking the baby around. Wild experience at an omakase place. Bes

Made a reservation for a Saturday evening at 9pm to celebrate our anniversary. We were surprised when we realized that it was just us eating that evening. My wife and I really appreciated the personalized nameplates and warm welcome. Nice ambient lig

This place was amazing and one of the best sushi places I've ever went to, they had great fish, rice, and palette cleansers. But their service was out of the world, the bartender made great drinks. The chef Haluk was relatable and such a nice gu

Sushi By Scratch: Montecito is, by a WIDE margin, the best dining experience I've ever had. Their omakase course selection and design is so clearly crafted with attention to fine detail, balanced flavors, dedication to traditional Japanese cuis
Loved every single minute of my experience.
It's absolutely delicious! Great intimate setting. The chefs were incredible and the drinks were phenomenal. A must try.
Lots of kinks to work out in this pretentious palace of problems
The food was blah, not up to the standards of their more humble but honest Little Dom's in Carpinteria. There are only 3 entrees, two fish, one steak. The wine list is shockingly devoid of French varietals .... though they claim to be a French r
A five star dining experience.
Nothing else so far can hold a candle to this, and it helps that I love sushi. 17 course omakase, nigiri style, we were 2 of 4 people in attendance so it was a very intimate, near private experience and we were celebrating a special occasion. I canno
The best sushi experience ever.
The atmosphere is lovely and intimate. Omacase selections are plentiful, simple, clean and delicious. Especially when paired with a Sake or wine flight.

My friend made a reservation for Sushi by Scratch via Resy and we were so excited to try the Michelin-starred omakase. It was $25 for a non-refundable deposit. The restaurant is conveniently located inside Montecito Inn with valet. Guests check-in

I am somewhere in the four zone but will give them a five for my husband. The sushi was excellent. We did opt for the add on truffle/ caviar. I would absolutely not do that again. At over $100 per person it did not elevate the experience and in fac

Unique omakase! Make sure you arrive 15-30 minutes early for the palate cleansing welcome drink. They have an alcoholic and non alcoholic option, both of which were light and delicious. The seafood is flown in from Japan and is super fresh. T
Ive been looking at this menu for two years wanting to go.
What Im reviewing today is their decision to raise their prices FIFTY PERCENT in the two years they've been open. Omakase menu started at $125 in 2021 and now it's $185. In two years. Has the price of fish gone up 50% in 2 years? Has rent? Has the s

It seems like stating the obvious, but this is the best sushi we've ever had. It is far and away better and more thorough than the best of the ordinary sushi. I highly recommend the house drink pairing. There's some magic here. They should advertise

Last night three of us went to Sushi Bar Montecito.
This was my second time, having gone a few years ago after they newly opened. The core concept was largely the same (16-17 pieces of nigiri over a few hours) but the experience was very different. They still have to meet in the lobby of the Montecito
The sushi here was amazing.
Every single piece was made to perfection and I enjoyed every bite. Besides the spectacular food, what makes this place one of the best is the service and ambiance provided by the staff. Every one of the chefs and the bartender made this experience f

Connect with users posting reservations for Sushi Bar Montecito Santa Barbara
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Sushi Bar Montecito Santa Barbara. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
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
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
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 Sushi Bar Montecito 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 Sushi Bar Montecito 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
* FluffyStar64, 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.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Sushi Bar Montecito 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 FluffyStar64 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, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64'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 Sushi Bar Montecito 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.
