Caruso's Montecito Reviews from The Last Year
Loved loved loved the liberty duck.
The center pieces are worth more than 3,000$ on each table, incredible
Michelin star is well deserved
We had a great experience at this restaurant in Santa Barbara. The 4 course menu was more than enough for us. The chef sent a couple of free samplers that were all delicious! My wife was impressed with the service. One waiter in particular was very knowledgeable about the dishes and also had the patience to explain them to us. It is very frustrating when you go to a fine restaurant for a tasting menu and the waiters seem to be in a hurry. They blur the name of the dish and when you ask them to repeat it they just impatiently blur it out again! Now, if you insist in wanting to know what you are eating, then, they treat like you are some sort of moron. Thanks to the help of the staff I was able to savor sea urchin and oca, which in other restaurant it would have passed as simply good tasting food!
Extremely disappointing.
We had dined here in October and were enthusiastic to return. The experience could not have been more different. The evening started off as expected with a pre-fix two courses that were excellent and attention from our waiter and the wine delivered as requested. And then nothing... for forty five minutes. Not a visit from any of the waitstaff let alone our waiter. We figured something had gone wrong in the kitchen but no one bothered with us to confirm. The couple at the next table was seated about 30 minutes after us and was hovered over as they tried to select a champagne (it appeared that they returned a few selections). I believe they had a special arrangement, maybe celebrities or frequent diners, however they had a steady stream of waitstaff, management and the chef himself. We were finally served our third course and it was horrible. The halibut which was so wonderful when we had it before was floating in an unpalatable concoction and the fish was not poached properly. The tenderloin was average at best and not served with the black trumpet accompaniment. Dessert was worse... the chocolate decadence was dry and crusty and not the marvelous texture and superb flavor we remembered. We still did not receive a visit from our waiter and asked support staff to please send him over. The manager (had to ask her who she was) showed up and asked what we wanted and to asked us to describe what our dissatisfaction with the meal entailed. She did not offer any remedy and left. We waited another fifteen minutes for our waiter who did not show up. We had been insulted enough. We went to the hostess and asked for our $750.00 bill. We paid it and were told how they had comped a $24.00 glass of bourbon. It was never about the money. This was a special occasion evening. We had ordered flowers for our table. For one hour it was lovely. For ninety minutes it was disrespectful and at best... a culinary nightmare.
Great food.
We loved the pastas and burrata cheese especially. Cod and steak were good too. Very helpful server who gave us great advices about the food. We got to see beautiful sunset from our table too.
I recently dined at Caruso, the Michelin-starred restaurant
I recently dined at Caruso, the Michelin-starred restaurant nestled in the Rosewood Miramar Beach, enticed by promises of a culinary journey amid the stunning Pacific views. The ambiance, service, and most of the dining experience lived up to the lofty expectations, earning my applause. The al fresco seating over the sand and the stylish interior indeed provided a glamorous backdrop for an evening on the American Riviera. My server, with an A+ attitude and attention to detail, elevated the overall experience. However, the hiccup arose when we requested a simple adjustment to my girlfriend's halibut dish - a dairy-free sauce. While our server eventually convinced the chef to accommodate this request, it left a lingering disappointment. For a restaurant of this caliber, where a prix fixe dinner menu costs $165 per person, one might expect more flexibility in meeting dietary preferences. In the grand scheme, it may seem trivial, but when investing in a five-star dining experience, the expectation is perfection in every detail. I applaud the server's efforts in resolving the issue, but the fact that it occurred in the first place left a blemish on what could have been an impeccable evening. In conclusion, Caruso is undeniably a culinary gem, but my experience prompts me to give it three stars. It is a reminder that even in the world of Michelin stars, there's always room for improvement in the pursuit of perfection.
I am so happy to have been able to experience dinner at
I am so happy to have been able to experience dinner at Caruso's. From the ambiance, beautiful views, top-notch service, and delicacies that are an explosion of flavor in your mouth.... my girlfriends and I left full and could not stop talking about the whole evening! Compliments to the chef and the whole team for such an incredible experience.
It deserves all 5 stars.
Exceptional views, cuisine, and service. The courses were well executed. The seasonal & local ingredients in each course were heavenly. Thanks to everyone that made our evening so special.
Befitting of a Michelin star, everything is magnificent, including the prices.
Food is sublime. Our group of four had a spectacular dinner with wine pairings with each course. Everything was artfully prepared and professionally served. And delicious. And as you might expect with a Michelin star, frightfully pricey.
Great location and food.
Totally worth the price. Service also excellent. Really good pairings
We recently dined at carusos while staying at the rosewood.
We had a really good time. While we waited for our table we got a drink at the bar and I had the best margarita I have ever had! It's called the causos margarita and it's made with clase azul it's simply amazing! The service was great both in the bar area and main dining area. The food was fantastic and the ambience was great! I can def see how this place has 1 Michelin star! It's fantastic! Highly Recommend: Carusos Margarita Mascot 2014 Wine Chefs Welcome Bites Hand Pulled Burrata Bread Service Cacio E Pepe (This is amazing!) Hibachi Grilled Tenderloin We will def be back at Carusos next time we are in SB for dinner!
Exceptional service.
Detail to attention. Friendly non-pretentious staff (which is refreshing for a Michelin star restaurant). Mixologists at the bar are superb and wine pairing list perfect for each course. Sommelier did excellent job explaining each wine, its background and why it's being paired with each dish. Overall a wonderful experience.
Was staying at the Rosewood Miramar for a work trip and
Was staying at the Rosewood Miramar for a work trip and popped in for dinner one night with some coworker. There were 5 of us total and service was impeccable. Our meal was 4 courses with a couple added on treats like chef welcome bites, and additional dessert bites, I chose to have burrata for my first course. Creamy and delectable with a fall flare and flavor pallet. Next was the cacio y Pepe and I added black truffles which is truly the only way to experience that dish. It was truly devine. Next I did the tenderloin and veggies. The meat was cooked fine, but I wasn't a fan of the sauce... but it was still great. Finished with the honeycomb dessert... amazing! If you are in the area and wanting a Michelin Italian experience with a gorgeous view of the pacific, stop here. Be sure to make a reservation with a view and go around sunset.
Incredible location. Outstanding sunset. Great service. Overrated food. Left hungry.
We did the degustation. The location and setting just doesn't get any better. The staff are wonderful (except for one rather odd guy that never blinked) when talking with you... The food is good but not exceptional. It's all about the location - not the food (sadly). Pricey which is fine and you expect to relish every dish but it's more showy than delectable. Several nearby guests turned down the rabbit as did we. The sunset is outstanding. The people watching equally so. Would go again but prefer an a la carte menu.
Run, don't walk
If you want fine dining in a beautiful location, this is the place. The venue is beautiful, the food magnificent (with an amazing wine list) and the service was perfect.
Exceeded Expectations - and Our Expectations were High!
My husband and I visited Santa Barbara for our 25th wedding anniversary combined with a business trip. Iโm so happy that Carusoโs got on our radar because it was the best dining experience ever and absolutely perfect for our milestone celebration. The location is spectacular, with the sound of waves crashing adding to the ambience. The staff are attentive, warm and friendly and they truly made us feel welcomed and special. Every detail was perfect. The food is next level - both as far as presentation and the beautiful combination of flavors and textures. There is so much attention to detail. Itโs truly the most delicious art youโll ever eat. The Michelin star here is no joke. Carusoโs is in a completely different realm compared to the many fine dining experiences weโve had over the years and on our travels. Chef Massimo is so gracious and talented and everyone we encountered during this elevated experience was a total pro. We look forward to dining at Carusoโs again when we are in the area.
Welcome to california!
What a charming and delicious evening! We walked through a rather shiny, fancy hotel..Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotelโฆthen along a beautiful lawn surrounded by flowers. To our surprise we had to cross RR tracks where a train would barrel through at high speed in a matter of minutes. We went down stairs to the lower level which landed us at the restaurant. We sat outside under heaters as we were in the midst (or mist) of June Gloom. Attentive and efficient staff, delicious food with fun names (a dessert called โour bees went to Ojaiโ. I had strawberry gazpacho which was ok but not memorable. Then ridgeback shrimp cofenetti..fantastic. Cod for main course..excellent sauce and flavoringโฆdessert as mentioned above..delightful! All the while the tide was advancing and the waves were crashing, kissing us with salt spray. Wonderful!

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been โmatchedโ with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
