Blackbird Santa Barbara Reviews from The Last Year
Extremely overpriced for tiny portions.
Everyone at our table thought it was a tapas restaurant when our food came out.
We went there just for a cocktail, so we didn't have dinner
We went there just for a cocktail, so we didn't have dinner there i.e. I can't comment on the food. The bar staff had no clue what they were doing. I ordered a drink that was supposed to be a variation on an old fashioned, but both the way it was made and how it was presented was terrible. Also, both guys working the bar were constantly looking for stuff and seemed that it was their first time working a bar. Not something you'd expect on a Saturday night.
My mother and I came in to have coffee and dessert.
We waited a while for a server to come greet us. We informed the server that we came in for dessert and coffee. She informed my mother and I that they don't have coffee and they only have one dessert, an apple tart. How does a restaurant not have coffee? So my mother and I got up and left. We are visiting Santa Barbara for Mother's Day weekend, and it upset me that the server lied to us. I reviewed their menu, and they have more than just one dessert. I can say I couldn't find coffee on the menu, but the host informed us they do offer coffee and dessert I just felt as though the server did not want to serve us because we were not ordering dinner. Didn't have a great experience and will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Wow....The food, the service, the ambience. 10/10 Genevieve was absolutely fantastic! It was my brother's 30th birthday and they took care of us. I would order ever dish on this menu. We will be back for sure. Thank you!
I haven't written a Yelp review in ages.
The fact that I'm writing this should suggest some serious thought--both by the restaurant and any potential diners. Putting aside the fact that a "Michelin listed" restaurant had some of the worst service I have ever experienced, the food was lacking in nearly every way imaginable. There was no wow factor, The mussels were chewy due to being overcooked. The only thing saving the mussels were the chorizo broth and buttery sourdough bread served with it. Our waitress was too busy chatting with the bartender to advise us that the $75 short rib entree wasn't a traditional braised short rib, rather a bland "steak" version of short ribs that was lacking in flavor. The only saving grace as the risotto that is really hard to mess up to begin with. The ambiance can be described as trying to be Los Angeles, but without anything worth writing home about. The intimate restaurant was nothing special. Truly very disappointed. We were hoping to include Blackbird in our rotation for exquisite dining experiences. I wonder who at Michelin accepted the bribe.
service was amazing, drinks were great.
very cute vibe,and the servers were so accommodating--especially Kaija and Axel. definitely great for family dinners or date night
Absolutely amazing!!! Kaija, Axel, and Kerrie gave us the
Absolutely amazing!!! Kaija, Axel, and Kerrie gave us the BEST experience we have ever had at a restaurant! Food is outstanding, prices are great, the ambiance is amazing and the drinks are well poured and well priced.
This place rocks.
We came in on a Saturday night, and got a table right away! We were greeted by Kaija who was the kindest, and most hardworking host I've seen here in Santa Barbara. The manager, V was so kind, and gave us several amazing recommendations, and even comped one of our apps! Thank you also to Carrie for the drinks. Overall, we walked away obsessed with Blackbird. Thanks guys!!
A hidden gem in the heart of Santa Barbara.
Best sazerac cocktail I've ever had! Hardworking staff always makes the experience enjoyable. Highly recommend it you're looking for food, a glass of wine, or night cap. Ambience and service is 5 stars. A big thanks to Ray and the entire bar staff for accommodating us late night.
Really, extremely disappointing - but saved by the good
Really, extremely disappointing - but saved by the good steak and incredible dessert. We came to Blackbird for dinner for NYE. First of all, even though we had a reservation, we had to wait more than 40 minutes for our table. So we decided to have drinks while we waited. It took more than 15 minutes to get our drinks - so clearly they were severely understaffed. Then, dinner. 1. There was no indication on the website or on the phone when I made the reservation that it would be a prix fixe menu. However, the menu looked pretty tasty so we went with it for 5 courses at $150/person. 2. 3/5 courses were moderate in taste. The amuse was a bit bland - not amuse at all. The carpaccio was said to be served with caviar. It was not. The risotto needed more salt to balance the (very good) sweet port wine. 3. Aside from the clear lack of staff, our server/the kitchen could not figure out timing. When our first three plates arrived within 10 minutes of sitting down, I asked if we could please slow down a bit because I was still eating soup when they took my plate away to bring the next. Well - that caused a domino effect of the server not bringing our paired wines with our food, and the remainder of the meal we received cold plates. Cold udon, cold risotto, cold vegetables. When we left, we agreed that it was amongst the most disappointing experiences we've ever paid that much money for. At $600 for the 2 of us, I would have really expected better management of the place. The mismanagement definitely hurt the experience of the food. But I will say it again - credit to the chef that cooked the steak, and whomever made the chocolate gallette. Delicious.
Very underwhelming experience.
Food was wildly overpriced. Burrata salad, lobster ravioli, truffle risotto and duck all sound amazing! However, burrata was astonishingly bland, lobster ravioli barely had any lobster, risotto looked like a pile of mush but was the only dish that actually tasted good and the duck was over cooked and under seasoned. I get the location being the draw, but everything else about the restaurant was pretty much terrible. Service was about as bad as you could get. Made a reservation for inside, but they insisted we sit on the patio. Finally sat us inside, but Service was rushed...only after they waited 15 min to even serve us our non-tap water drinks. Don't come here if you care at all about quality of service of food. Good tourist trap restaurant with great branding and heavily curated online presence.
The food was excellent.
The duck was super tender and moist. The steak was like butter and absolutely delicious. Kudos to the chef and the bartender for the delicious cocktail drinks

Here for dinner, not too busy at 6pm, but decent amount of couples at the bar. Server was great, very helpful and did not hover. Cervichie with salmon chicharrones was delicious, scallops for my date, cooked to perfection and giant. Rack of lamb for and it was delicious as well. Citrus salad was prepared very good, nice wine and drink menu, only let down was the beer menu, it was only ok with brewery list, mixed, just needed a few more. Enjoyed and will be back to see what's next on the menu.
It would be a mistake to come here
The service here is terrible. We reserved an outdoor table and it was chilly asked to be seated indoors and were told no due to reservations. During the 85 minutes we were here 4 open tables inside were open. We even asked to be moved to a different outdoor table because our table wobbled. Again told no for the same reason. Three outdoor seatings remained opened the whole time. I ordered a second beverage when I was midway through my first. It never arrived so finally cancelled and asked for the check. They gave us a wrong food order and then added something to our bill we didn’t order. The food was brought out in order this place is absolute garbage. So if you want to go and have a really frustrating ask for Geniveve to be your waitress. Actually just get up and go eat somewhere else if that happens.
Wonderful experience
We had a great meal and a trendy location with great atmosphere. The staff treated us wonderfully. We also enjoyed the cocktails very much.
