This Euro-chic addition to the downtown Santa Barbara dining scene is owned by husband-and-wife restaurateurs Tara Penke and chef Jaime Riesco. The menu reflects Riesco’s global kitchen experience and passion for sourcing ingredients in dishes like Shrimp Croquetas with lemon parsley aioli, zucchini with haloumi cheese-stuffed blossoms, and Crispy Coca Catalan Flatbread with raclette cheese. Mains include a chef’s cut steak with bone marrow butter and Argentinian chimichurri, Duck Confit made in house, mushroom risotto, and a daily local fish. A highlight among dessert offerings is a Basque-style cheesecake with local berry compote. Select premium wines range from everyday to celebratory. Local beer is available as are craft cocktails, like the fresh Turmeric Gimlet and the signature Gala Beet Margarita.
