Dining room at bouchon, Santa Barbara, CABouchon has long been the talk of the town. Proprietor Mitchell Sjerven and chef Greg Murphy work with the best of the region, from Santa Ynez Valley wines to locally farm-raised venison, rabbit and ostrich. Look for an intriguing array of dishes, including bourbon-and-maple-glazed duck breast, coriander-crusted venison loin, and tangerine-seared sea scallops served with local ridgeback shrimp risotto, sautéed organic pea tendrils, shaved fennel, crispy prosciutto and tarragon crème. Seasonal specials may include local spiny lobster or roasted kabocha and butternut squash purée with toasted pumpkin seeds and sage crouton garni. The wine list is comprised exclusively of Santa Barbara County vintners, and the glasses are Austrian Riedel crystal. California’s finest cheeses are available, too.

Unprofessional service. Average food.

We went to this restaurant a year ago and it was ok. So we decided to give it another try. Unfortunately, our waiter was surprisingly unprofessional and managment was indifferent. We eventually decided to just go next door to Olio e Limone where (as usual) we had a wonderful meal and were treated like family. I will never go to Bouchon again nor will I ever recommend it. At this (or any) price point there are so many other places where they actually care about their customers.
