Barbareno is consistently good and has been for many years. Their menu is creative and interesting and I've never had a bad service experience. Their prices are very reasonable for the caliber of food they are serving.

Barbareno is a quirky restaurant. The food is excellent, fresh and beautifully prepared, with the caveat that there’s not a lot of choices—a very small menu. The staff knows its product but seems like a bunch of haughty grad students with a bit of attitude. We were seated outside next to a very large, obnoxious drunk group and literally could not hear each other. Despite plenty of other open tables, the staff would not accommodate our request to move for reasons that were murky at best and also would not talk to the loud table to quiet them down. Portions are not large, which is not a problem for us, but may be for others. The wine list is so-so and they are always out of selections on their menu.
We will hesitate on going back as there have been other odd experiences with the staff, and there are too many other choices in Santa Barbara.
Solid meal, great outdoor seating area, and good service
We had a nice welcome from the hostess and everyone else kept that level of attentiveness and warmth. Noteworthy to feel welcome by everyone. Drinks were good and we ordered the Santa Maria BBQ and Animal Potatoes. The tri-tip was cooked perfectly and had a very interesting flavor. The animal potatoes were good in theory, but didn't quite make it on flavors. Some sort of spice, salt, or other flavor would have been great. The Ojai Hive and honey dessert was very interesting. Probably good for 2 but would not have been much to split with a group. It was different and offered a sweet end to the night. There are two separate outdoor seating areas which look as though they were added during COVID. It was a great night to dine outside and the two areas were well-spaced.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent service. Well done outdoor seating for Covid concerns. Food is well prepared and presented.
I commend the exemplary service here but the food was not as good as on earlier visits. An esoteric wine list with lots to choose from lesser known regions of California, and none from Paso Robles.

Everything was delightful for our dinner at Barbareno! The outdoor patio is very pretty and well shielded from the road. Service was efficient and friendly and the waiter was great about describing the entrees and the ingredients. Most importantly, the food was fantastic! We started with the grilled avocado which was a perfectly ripe avocado with a unique, savory sauce. It was unlike anything I’d had before but absolutely delicious. We also had the Santa Maria BBQ and the fried chicken, both cooked to perfection and each with a unique and complex flavor profile. We will definitely try to visit again when we’re in Santa Barbara!

Tremendous high quality, masterfully prepared and served meal. Tastes were authentic, nuanced, rich and delightful to the palate. We had grilled avocado, black cod and the tri tip with beans with baked California for desert. All were fantastic with great sauces and seasoning. Wait staff was efficient and friendly and worked really well as a team. Training and good management were evident throughout the restaurant.good choice of wines and desert wines. We will Most definitely eat here again on our next trip to Santa Barbara.

We were so looking forward to a meal at Barbarino. When we arrived, we were seated with our masks On and then told that we need to keep our masks on if our “wait staff talked to us for any period of time at any point during our meal”. Our waiter then proceeded to talk to us from more than 6 feet away even though there were no other people present. It was difficult to discuss the nuances of the menu and have a pleasant experience from that distance. This was odd, especially since the CDC today issued guidelines so that people “ can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic.”This was a drastic change from our dining experiences in other restaurants near home in Orange County even prior to vaccine availability where waitstaff happily served us without requiring facemasks. The manager was empathetic, saying that he was trying to balance customer needs with the wishes of his employees who were “in the process of getting vaccinated”. But when we explained that since my wife and I are both vaccinated AND have had COVID, his employees were safe in our presence, it became apparent that Logic and reason would not win the day, so we decided to take our business elsewhere. Since the beginning of the pandemic, our family has made a deliberate effort to support local restaurants by ordering out much more than we did in the past. However, Our feeling is that business’s policies and decisions need to have consequences when they don’t follow reason and common sense. Barbarino’s treatment made us feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, and unwanted.

We decided to go to SB for the weekend. Found this restaurant on my Opentable list. What a treat! Great service! Sat on their real patio under the heat lamps. Delicious brussel sprouts & chicken!!
