Bella Vista

The finest of the finest. The service is impeccable and the food is amazing. If you want to treat yourself squeeze into Bella Vista. The veiw from the patio any time of day is so-cal at it's best. One of Montecitos best restaurants.

Bella Vista embodies the casual Californian dining experience. Situated just in front of a beautiful lawn (and beach just about 50 yards away), the service is casual yet attentive.

A well conceived menu gives diners many options (especially noted for good vegetarian and pescatarian options), and execution is good but not great.

Such a beautiful place for lunch. The food were great as expecting. We will back for sure.

Me and my wife had a wonderful evening at Bella Vista.Nice location,Friendly Stuff and most of all delicious food especially sea food.

Fantastic spot for a restaurant and the staff are so friendly. I hope it opens again soon, I love to drink champagne here

Best Brunch in Santa Barbara and Montesito. Mimosas, dessert and cappuccino. Excellent service.

We had Sunday brunch. It is very expensive but so worth it for a special occasion. The food is first class. All you can want. The ambiance is lovely. By the ocean. What stands out is the impeccable service. My champagne glass was never empty, our empty dishes were removed immediately and a nice touch of folding your napkins while you are getting your food. We would recommend it.

The location is great and the food is good. We had some issues with an appetizer tasting like straight mojito but other than that the food tasted great. It’s not cheap but the staff and location made it well worth it. In particular, Rose was the best waitress we’ve had in a while. She deserves some kudos from her management.

A Santa Barbara jewel, with excellent dining and drink options and most importantly the stunning coastal views that remind you of the best California has to offer, past and present. Enjoy lunch on the expansive patio with views of the Pacific ocean and Santa Barbara pier. Perfect spot to relax with friends.

A cozy afternoon was slowly unfolding as the white BMW 650i glided into valet at the Four Seasons Biltmore Resort. Spanish Colonial Revival architecture (circa 1927) casually enticed us into the spectacular lobby by architect Reginald Johnson. Valets were elegantly attired in plaid shirts and navy slacks/shorts.

Dinner arrived with the golden warmth of sunset and colored Fossati's contemporary Italian cuisine marvelous. We dined on charred grain spaghetti with pancetta, and local halibut. Both dishes are/were epicurean in taste, presentation and temperature.

Service by Harold were “temps chéri” with vistas of Butterfly Beach, and sensual dining---appealing to four of five senses. Bella Vista is a true gem in Mr. Warner’s portfolio. Ty Warner was (reported) on property. "Mangiare per vivere e non vivere per mangiare." So grateful for this dining adventure at twilight and our wonderful host.

Sterling Four Seasons hotel. What can I say? People here are VERY REAL. A dirty Aston Martin was parked out front. The valets said the owner apparently lived at the end of a dirt road, no doubt in a $27M mansion. Visit here in August. The brunch is to end all brunches!

Impeccable foods and service. We went here for both breakfast and dinner, and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and the views are incredible!

Beautiful dinner. Great setting, amazing food and drinks, incredible service. Definitely a dinner to remember. Will be coming back!

Awesome setup for a formal celebration. Very friendly staff. Felt at home. Being a veteran, felt like being served as if we were attending a military dining in night.

Good food and good views. I went for Saturday brunch and was pleased with the menu options and everything came out great.

Food was awesome all around from apps to desert! View and ambiance was perfect for an upscale Santa Barbara casual vibe!

Great food. Excellent staff and service. Ambience is wonderful, day or night.
