Stonehouse Restaurant Review

: Stonehouse makes sense of the oxymoron “refined rustic.” Housed in a squat building once used for packing citrus, the restaurant of the San Ysidro Ranch resort is on the short list of Santa Barbara’s most rarified establishments. (This is, after all, where JFK and Jackie honeymooned.) The regional cuisine may include artichoke spinach raviolis, whole roasted loup de mer with beluga lentils, and a Prime Kansas City steak with horseradish potatoes. The setting is wholly unique: an historic adobe stands nearby; wood smoke wafts here and there, mingling with the scent of herbs from the garden; a heated stone floor warms the ocean-view patio. It’s so peaceful, you half expect a Labrador retriever carrying a pair of slippers to greet you in the restaurant’s countrified foyer.

Made a reservation to celebrate several important family events BUT was disappointed not to be able to request outside seating --- apparently they don't do that for those making reservations using open table!!!!
