Seafood restaurant
Restaurant
Bar Le Côte is a trendy restaurant located in a former hardware store built in 1901, offering modern seafood dishes inspired by the Central Coast and coastal restaurants of Spain and Portugal. Managed by the team behind Michelin-starred Bells in Los Alamos, this French-farmhouse-meets-mid-century spot serves European-inspired cuisine with a focus on fresh Central Coast seafood.
Let’s start with atmosphere, we have the opportunity to sit in a booth, which creates great privacy and environment is aesthetically pleasing, giving you for view of the kitchen. Service is above and beyond from host to busser to server to weight staff. Everybody is cohesively on the same page. Our server Kate knew the menu from front to back, my wife and I enjoyed every highlight on the menu ever. Each item was delightfully thought out, each bite felt unique. The item that’s going to stand out to me most for the night is going to be the CRISPY SKIN BRANZINO

I've lost count as to how many times I've been to Bar Le Côte. It is "my place." If anyone who knows me wants to take me to someplace I will love, or if I take anyone to a place that I want them to experience something special...it is this special place. The attention and respect for the meal and the guest is unsurpassed. The entire staff is incredible, however we do always request Kate. We've come for lunch and dinner. Each is it's own unique experience. We just don't want it to end!

Delicious restaurant with farm to table ingredients and seafood focus. Came here with my parents and boyfriend for a nice dinner and we highly enjoyed ourselves. We ordered the Pacific Gold reserve oysters,boat scallop crudo, patatas bravas, BL Caesar, pan con tomate, Santa Barbara halibut, arroz verde, duck a la plancha, and the BLC snack pack (we were going all out). They portioned out the plates and there was a good rhythm. My favorites were the patatas bravas, the pan con tomate, and the BL Caesar. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The duck in particular was robust and had a nice crisp. Parking was easy and free on the street. The booth we were sitting in was on the smaller side, so we had a cozy time. Our waitress was friendly and personable.

Was recommended to check out this place for lunch and get a reservation—we did both—and wow! Terrific food on the wine tasting trail in Los Olivos. Cool vibey place with outstanding service and well executed food. We got sandwiches which were fab, and the vermouth cocktail. Can’t wait to come back!

This is a wonderful place to have lunch. The service is impeccable (they add a gratuity to the bill, but it’s well deserved) the food is wonderful. We both loved our sandwiches with the crispy chicken on the brioche bun being our favorite but we loved the crispy skin fish sandwich. We also ordered the signature fries, however, we would probably skip those next time. They were a bit salty for our taste and overhyped. Other than that we had a wonderful experience and will be back

Great spot. Fried chicken sandwich for lunch is their go-to. The hamachi and Caesar salad were also good, and the strawberry tart dessert was great. I’d definitely go back and recommend if you’re in town.

We stopped by for happy hours after our lunch up the 101 at Bell's. Greg from Bell's strongly recommended the chicken sandwich. Picture this, we just finished lunch 2 hours ago. By the time we rolled into Bar Le Cote, we were still fairly full. We ordered the sando thinking that we'd bring it for the drive back to LA. Well, we each got a nibble and next thing we knew we couldn't stop eating until it was gone. Yup, Greg was 100% right about the chicken sandwich. It was that addictively good and definitely a candidate for my food hall of hame. We'll have to come back to ascertain if it belongs in the HoF. (Sorry no picture on that sando. Feeding frenzy kicked in before we realized it... ) Oh yeah, the peel and eat shrimps were pretty good too. But it's hard to stand next to the sun and shine. You know what I'm saying...

Overall an enjoyable meal. Caesar salad with the anchovies was especially good. The uni was bland, the halibut was overcooked, and the sashimi carpaccio was overpowered by the odd sauce. The oysters were great, especially after they brought out the mignonette. Emily was especially gracious for accommodating us. Please consider my constructive feedback to make this great restaurant closer to perfect.

Sandwich shop
PANINO Los Olivos is a part of a small chain of lunch spots that offers Italian-inspired soups, salads, and sandwiches. Located in the heart of Los Olivos, it's a popular pit stop for those exploring the Santa Ynez Valley. Whether you're looking for a casual lunch or planning to pack a picnic, PANINO is the go-to spot.
Enjoy a half sandwich/salad combo:) I had #16 sandwich with the salad with tomatoes, pine nuts, raisins, and goat cheese. The dressing was a thick and creamy balsamic and was delicious on the salad! Prices were fair and staff was friendly and professional as we placed our order at the counter and waited for sandwiches. Very clean and well organized little place. I don’t recall if there was indoor seating, but there was a few tables outside.

Stopped by for a Monday lunch and had a great experience. We ordered the Roasted Turkey and Italian sandwiches—both were incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. The restaurant was reasonably busy but not overcrowded, and our food came out quickly. A perfect spot for a delicious and efficient lunch. Highly recommend!
Michal W — Google review
Rude service and the food was not at all what we expected. My curry chicken sandwich should have been called a curry apple sandwich. There were very few pieces of chicken and mostly apples and raisins. My husband had the Tuna salad and it was very dry and difficult to eat. The shop itself is cute with outdoor seating. It would have been nice to know that the outdoor tables associated Paninos had white umbrellas and other tables belonged with the business next door. We waited close to 20 minutes for our order, I finally went up to the cashier and retrieved it. The chunks in the photo aren’t pieces of chicken, they are hunks of apple. Just call it an apple curry sandwich.

A must needed pit stop in between wine tastings! Will be back to try their other sandwiches. The #4 Roast Beef & Horseradish Cheddar on focaccia bread was phenomenal and the ingredients were so fresh and flavorful. There is plenty of seating as well as an abundance of parking spaces nearby. This place is hate to miss, as it's in the center of downtown Los Olivos. Definitely so stop by to either dine in or pick up as a snack/meal after a wine tasting!

We decided to stop here on our way from solvang to Santa Barbara. Very quaint little town. It was good sandwich but nothing remarkable about it. I had the roast beef and horseradish cheddar. Good flavor. The honey mustard was good and you could really taste the horseradish. My wife had the curry chicken salad which she enjoyed as well. I would go again for sure.

Stolpman Vineyards in Los Olivos is renowned for its commitment to natural and dry farming, sustainability in employment practices, and minimal manipulation during the fermentation process. The vineyard's exceptional Syrah and Roussanne grapes are used to produce a range of outstanding varietals including Grenaches, Syrahs, Petite Sirahs, and the highly acclaimed Angeli Syrah.
We arrived there early for our reservation, and since it wasn't busy we were seated right away. Mary provided the best service ever, presenting multiple wines to compare and contrast with those on our flights. A very well rounded tasting experience in a cozy yet comfortable setting. Will be back for sure...we have wines to pickup.

My girlfriend brought this home from a bridal shower (gift) she attended. I can say without any hesitation it was without question the worst bottle of wine either of us ever tasted. Mind you you my Italian import dad made his own horrible wine in the 70s and it tasted like gasoline. 2 sips and down the drain. Can't speak to the restaurant but this was truly aweful.
Joe B — Google review
This place was recommended by our wine distributor in San Diego. He hyped them up pretty well, but they exceeded it by far. We loved every wine we tasted. I don’t think they have a bad wine! The staff is amazing as well! Thanks for a great tasting and great wines!

My friends and I went wine tasting for our Bachelorette weekend. Matty was amazing and knowledgeable about the wine. He was super nice and provided us with amazing recommendations. The wine menu was presented to us on arrival. The wine tasting had 6 different wines from rose to white and red. The wine was delicious and the atmosphere was very relaxing! I would highly recommend Stolpman Vineyards and ask for Matty because he is amazing!

Established in 1994, Beckmen Vineyards is a family-owned and operated winery renowned for producing premier Rhone varietal wines. Their vineyards take advantage of limestone subsoil, resulting in grapes with intense flavors. Visitors can experience their impressive wine collection at the tasting room located near the winery just outside Los Olivos. The estate vineyard is situated in the Los Olivos District AVA and is certified Biodynamic Purisima.
It was such a welcoming drive-up to the tasting room. The sight and sound of the vineyard was very inviting and the serenity of it kept us "girls" in awe! We had a lovely time at Beckmen's. My friends did not have a reservation however, the young man did not turn them away. I was the designated driver while my friends were wine tasting hopping that morning. I had to say that the sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and patient with my friends who were a bit tipsy. I had a lovely chat, very brief, with Mr. Beckman. As promised, Mr. Beckmen, the drinks were exquisite, per my son's reviews. He truly enjoyed all of the flavours. Also, it was lovely to have your amazing vineyard as the backdrop of my van😉😉

4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up just because they asked if we wanted still or sparking water with our tasting! (I'm a sparking water fan, but that option is offered more often in Europe than in the US, so yay Beckmen!) Besides that, the setting was lovely, with lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. Service was also excellent (thanks, Alia!) and the wines were quite nice. Well worth a stop when you are in the region!

Absolutely fantastic winery with beautiful grounds and great wine! Bring snacks ;) or picnic style.. These were taken in November. Now everything is likely green and vibrant. I love their Syrah.

Nestled along one of the most picturesque roads in the region, Beckmen Winery is a hidden gem that boasts not only stunning outdoor views but also a charming indoor tasting room. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by the beauty of the surroundings, setting the stage for an unforgettable wine tasting experience. The outdoor seating area offers panoramic views of the vineyards, providing the perfect backdrop for savoring a glass of wine on a sunny day. Meanwhile, the cozy indoor tasting room exudes warmth and hospitality, inviting guests to relax and enjoy the company of friends and loved ones. But it's not just the ambiance that makes Beckmen Winery stand out—it's the exceptional wines they offer. During our visit, we had the pleasure of sampling a variety of their offerings, and each one surpassed our expectations. However, two wines truly stole the show: the 2022 Purisima Mountain Vineyard Viognier and the 2021 Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines were a testament to the skill and dedication of the winemakers, showcasing the unique terroir of the region. Our tasting experience was made even more memorable thanks to our bartender, Carols. His charisma, extensive knowledge, and genuine passion for wine elevated our visit to Beckmen Winery to new heights. His attentive service and personalized recommendations truly made us feel like valued guests. During our time at the winery, we were fortunate enough to witness the beauty of the grounds in various weather conditions, from the tranquility of a clear day to the ethereal atmosphere of a light rain shower. And to top it all off, we were greeted by a sweet little kitty who added an extra touch of charm to our visit. In conclusion, Beckmen Winery exceeded all of our expectations, and we can't wait to return. From the breathtaking views to the exceptional wines and outstanding service, this is a destination that we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable wine tasting experience.

Great vineyard and tasteful wines. The estate Grenache was a favorite, as well as the Syrah Block Six. The grounds are beautiful and very peaceful (no road noise as it’s a bit off the road). Tom was incredibly informative and personable and was the cherry on top for our visit. We’re already looking forward to visiting again in the future.

This is a great place to taste. Good wine, reasonable prices, unpretentious and a great outdoor tasting area. The servers are pleasant, engaging, and down to earth. There’s a great pond area for the kids to explore. Our tasting fees were waived with bottle purchases. This is definitely on my list of wineries to revisit in the future.

What a special spot! A beautiful drive from Santa Barbara. Tom was a wonderful tour guide--he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer questions!

Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Cafe is a charming and casually elegant cafe located in the rolling hills of Los Olivos, a small town known for its wineries and vineyards. The cafe offers a variety of local wines for purchase, with over five hundred varieties available on their shelves. It's an ideal stop for those looking to sample the best of the region's wines without visiting each winery individually.
We had a party of four for dinner and were seated quickly. We had a wine tasting appetizers and then dinner. Service was friendly and prompt. We had the zatar flat bread, pizza, a salad and steak. Everything was well prepared and came out of the kitchen quickly. Food was delicious and the wine was good. Fully recommend a visit here if you’re nearby. UrbanCowgill December 2024

We visited Los Olivos for 4 days and found this gem on day 1. After a few popular restaurant visits we found ourselves dining here for the remainder of our stay. The food is incredibly and consistently delicious. The portions are perfect with larger portions at lunch which provided the energy needed for walks. The homemade focaccia is addicting. The street corn and wedge salad is a must try! The staff is amazing!

Great Latte at Corner House Cafe! Childrens books by Henry Schulte a bonus!

Breakfast Review: limited selection and out of all pastry items by 9:45. Good choice if you want something simple or quick but not if you are looking for a hearty breakfast. Coffee is good and the place is very quaint and has a pleasant porch to sit on and people watch. A little over priced for what it is though. Perhaps lunch would be a better choice- lots of flavors of ice cream there as well.

Cute setting on a corner, in Los Olivos. Inside and outside dining, sunshine or shade. Food was delicious, drinks were yummy, too. We got the turkey wraps and iced chia tea lattes.

i payed 10 dollars for a sandwich, that is the size of a car key. let me repeat that, a car key. absolute Robery. glad to see I'm not the only one complaining about prices. For this amount of money I'd expect something the size of a bagel at least. They don't require masks yet again close the restroom in the name of Covid, which is why they told my poor mother to walk all the way to the nearby church to use the restroom also eggs were over cooked. do not come here.

Brothers Restaurant at the Red Barn, founded by the Nichols brothers, offers a delightful dining experience with its open kitchen and a focus on good food and family. The restaurant is known for its made-from-scratch cuisine, refreshing wine selection, and warm hospitality. Guests can savor traditional American dishes like prime rib, hearts-of-romaine salad with roasted garlic dressing, and baked horseradish-dill crusted salmon.
If there’s one thing I can’t pass up in Santa Barbara county, it’s THIS restaurant. We do a trip to wine country every year or two and we stop here for dinner. Amazing wine list, fantastic service, and the food… incredible. You know those meals that every single bite is as good as the first? This is one of those places. My husband and I both ordered the lamb, and zero regrets. So incredibly tender and juicy. They make their own breads too and the focaccia is seriously the best bread I’ve ever had from a restaurant. The vibe is always spot on as well. Great for a date night, birthday, graduation, or just because. Do not overlook this place!!!

Reservations are a must and you can get there a bit early to grab a drink at the bar. Super friendly staff and the food was 10/10. You can split entrees for a $10 fee (the portions are huge so not a bad idea). The best part of the meal was the bread options - unreal how good their breads are!

The food and service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant for all steak lovers. The house special prime rib did not disappoint. The mix drinks and dessert was also excellent.

My deathrow meal is made here. 6oz Prime filet! But I also order in tacos on Thursdays:) .. I suggest you try the trout, pork chop, stuffed chicken, and the lamb. The desserts are superb and seasonal. This place has earned its stars and I hope its around for decades to come.

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Brothers Red Barn with my wife, and it was nothing short of fantastic. The ambience was super cute and intimate, with soft lighting that created a cozy atmosphere. We started with drinks—my double Pendleton and Coke was impressively strong, likely closer to a triple, while my wife’s double Gentleman and Coke was equally delightful. Both cocktails were perfectly mixed, setting a great tone for the evening. Now, onto the food, which truly stole the show. My wife ordered the 6-ounce filet mignon, cooked to perfection, beautifully complemented by potatoes au gratin with sautéed onions. I went for the 8-ounce New York steak, paired with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Each bite was better than the last, showcasing expert seasoning and cooking techniques. One of the best parts? Brothers Red Barn is just about 2 miles away from Chumash Casino, making it the perfect spot for a date night before or after some fun at the casino. Overall, Brothers Red Barn offers a memorable dining experience with its charming setting, excellent cocktails, and outstanding cuisine. I can’t wait to return!

Too expensive for what we recieved. Dated decoration, dark lighting, and a general feeling like the restaurant is stuck in the 80s. The food was fine, although my daughter didn't eat her burger because it was too greasy. Service was good. I don't think we'll be back anytime soon.

What a wonderful place to relax and celebrate and eat amazing dishes. I think their rib eye is the best I've had in years. The creme brule was sensational. I highly recommend this spot. Even being an out of towner, I felt like a local.
