Bouchon is a beautiful restaurant. My long time friend brought my wife and I here tonight to celebrate our birthdays. The staff was very welcoming. We even joked around with one of the runners. Our server, his name escapes me right now but he was extremely friendly and his suggestions were spot on. For starters we had the Roasted Butternut Squash purée, I had the Escargot with Puff Pastry and finally the scallop trio. I LOVE escargot and the buttery sauce with the puff pastry was a perfect match. The purée was warm and savory. Finally the Scallops all had incredible taste profiles. For main courses we had the Steak au poivre, the Maple Glazed Duck confit of thigh as well as the Lamb Chops with risotto. These dishes were exemplary and the Duck has left a lasting impression on me. We closed out our evening with the Chocolate Lava Cake and the Creme Brûlée. We walked out slowly and completely full. Visiting this restaurant is a must when you’re in Santa Barbara.

Great place to celebrate something special. I was expecting to be crazy expensive but actually was fair because it exceeded my expectation. Make reservation and try the duck. Dominic our waiter did an amazing job. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
