bouchon Santa Barbara Reviews from The Last Year
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.
While making a reservation via phone, we mentioned we'd
While making a reservation via phone, we mentioned we'd like something inside as this is a celebration. They mentioned they will add rose pedals as a nice touch which was so nice! As we arrived we were asked if we wanted to sit outside or inside - (we already discussed on the phone it would be inside? and you offered rose pedals lol).. I ignored and as we sat Mitchell forgets to sends us menus and a server double whammy. We finally get a server. The best part of this was the wine introduction. Started off with a delicious french onion soup - that was excellent. We ordered the rib eye & Duck that took a whopping 53 minutes to arrive but hey, as long it taste good we don't mind...However no one came over during that wait period to see if we'd like more drinks. We were so down for at least 2-3 more pours... The entrees arrived finally, cold at first bite. Both entrees were terribly cold. We waited all the time for this? The manager didnt even have the audacity to apologize in person. We had to leave and eat elsewhere-- We highly suggest checking out The Black Sheep "SB Brasserie" nearby. The serve similar foods but better and not cold! The ambiance is excellent and a great list of wine and cocktails. thank me later.
In Love with this place! Very nice and romantic environment.
We were going to celebrate a birthday. Everything was perfect, beautiful and astonishing. The service is wonderful.. all the servers are professional, kind and wonderful people. I was so impressed of the decoration and birthday wishes card for my boyfriend. The food was absolutely delicious and beautiful... I really can not express how amazing we were treated, served .... Everything was perfect! Thank you for everything and warm wishes again.. :-))
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 inviting. Merci Bouchon!
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 delicious! We then had steak au poivre. Wow! So tender, and the peppercorn sauce was incredible. Beautifully cooked asparagus and wonderful potatoes au gratin. Portions were generous. Wait staff was attentive, but not annoying. Our courses were perfectly paced. Overall, a wonderful dinner our last night in Santa Barbara. Thank you Bouchon!

We came here for a family dinner recently and we all really enjoyed it. The location and ambience itself is wonderful, and the food is great. We really enjoyed the mushroom ragout and the wagyu ribeye. The staff were really attentive and accommodating as well, and they fixed up an off-menu plate of pasta for our kid.
Amy & Mitchell.
.. "Thank You"! I recently celebrated my birthday at Bouchon and I cannot remember a more fabulous experience ever. The moment we arrived the greeting was warm and friendly. Nicholas, our server, was attentive and had fantastic suggestions for pairings and dinner selections. The music... ok let's just say the mix of Motown and 70's R&B classics made the evening even more enjoyable. I apologize for my singing! Our champagne, Lauren - Perrier, was the perfect starter and paired well with the Salade Lyonnaise. Please do not sleep on the Warm Pecan & Goat Cheese Tart. "It will change your life" is what the ladies who sat next to us said. They were not incorrect. It was a "pearl clutching experience". The venison & the steak were so well prepared a knife was just a prop. The seasoning on both were excellent. They both are a "must have"! The wine we enjoyed with dinner was absolutely amazing. Adaptation paired well with everything we enjoyed on the menu. Nicholas' suggested as we both enjoy our cabs. The blackberry upside-down cake was a great finish to the meal (it too went well with the wine). From the greet to the music to the food... this is an experience one should have. I plan to have it happen more often.
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 than I anticipated. Each scallop had its own individual setting and flavors. Each one was excellent. For entrees we ordered the filet mignon and duck confit. Each was cooked masterfully. The duck breast was lean and the thighs were shredding meat right off the bone. Excellent pairing with its veggies. The filet mignon was tender and juicy. For dessert, we finished with the molten lava cake. Wow heaven. Happy we choose the spot and would recommend for a nicer date night. Book in advance!

Had over a 6-month advance reservation and was seated in a tight corner table outside under a tent, seated within 12 inches of the host stand. A baby that could not hold its head up was at the table to the left, and a toddler was in a high chair at the next closest table. My sea bass was 1"x2" in size. This Santa Barbara native was not impressed. Will stay loyal to Brophy Bros.
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 Sea Bass: also well done. I like how the main courses come with heathy sides that are so tasty. Mushroom ragout: sautéed mushrooms with two slices of cheese sandwiches.
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
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 reasonable - I might go as far saying it's a bargain for the level of quality and overall experience Bouchon offers for a nice evening out. While everything was delicious, the standouts were the forest mushroom ragout, steak tartare, steak au poivre... and don't sleep on.. the bread! It's so fresh and warm, and we kept asking for more to sop up all the delicious sauces from the starters and entrees.
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 offering. We ordered the lamb and the daily catch. All were prepared exceptionally. I had a food allergy and it was accommodated easily and without incident. We had a local Rose' that was very good. 20 year port was also good. Crème brûlée and lemon cake were top notch. Dominic our waiter was excellent. All service was good and everyone who assisted our table was helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend this restaurant for visitors and locals.

This is my favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara! When it comes to fine dining this is my first choice.
Excellent dining experience! The duck was extremely tender
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 recommended dining experience. Just go.
Quaint 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.
A 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.
Spectacular
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.
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/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?

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
