As a solo diner, rushing to the bar before closing after a long day of travel, I'm transported to a time of elegance and peace at the oceans edge. The crashing waves blending their relentless rhythm with the tinkling tones of the piano. A well-c

Some of the best food I've ever had.
The whole experience was a 10/10 (a little pricey, though), but we were celebrating a special occasion and wanted something memorable. The vibe was amazing, super fancy looking hotel with a beautiful garden you have to go through, then you're h
Exceptional across the board.
Service and ambiance (you're right on the beach) were perfect. Yacht formal energy with the best view you can imagine. Cocktails were creative and tasty, but not in a "just add a ton of sugar" kind of way. Wine selection was mind blowi

Wow! This was incredible! We came here to celebrate our anniversary and part of a baby moon. Our server, Mauricio, whose presentation was warm, elegant, and expert, went above and beyond to make sure my food was pregnancy-safe. Yet, I did not feel th

One of the best dining experiences.
From the moment you’re greeted, the staff make you feel like the most important guest in the room. They’re attentive without being overbearing, gliding in at just the right moments to refill your glass or offer suggestions from the menu. Every qu

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 k
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.
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

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
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 backgroun

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. I’m so happy that Caruso’s got on our radar because it was the best dining experience ever and absolutely perfect for our milestone celebration

What a charming and delicious evening! We walked through a rather shiny, fancy hotel..Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel…then along a beautiful lawn surrounded by flowers. To our surprise we had to cross RR tracks where a train would barrel through at hi

I'm a guest at the rosewood Miramar. Came to Caruso's after dinner for a drink around 730pm. An employee said we can sit down. After about 5-10 minutes another employee comes and says they already did last call. I get it if you guys are closed but up

Connect with users posting reservations for Caruso's Montecito
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Caruso's Montecito. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Caruso's Montecito at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Caruso's Montecito page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Caruso's Montecito to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Caruso's Montecito!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
