Reviews for Tydes Restaurant in Santa Barbara, CA

Not the latest in ambience but the food is awesome thanks to his Michelin starred chef. Stunning view of the Ocean from the... terrace. Read more

Really nice ocean views. Food and service were outstanding. Good local beverage selection. Overpriced by a lot for lunch.

Lovley evening with delicious food and views.

We have dinner at Tydes each year as part of a conference and while the location is quite nice the service was a disappointment.... Dinner took over 4 hours on a fixed menu, which was different from the menu we were promised. Our waitress was nowhere to befound throughout most of the meal. The other table (our group was splt between two tables - the other table was served by adifferent member of the wait staff) was served appetizers before we were asked for our order. The other table was almost donewith their entrees before we were served ours. It seemed the restaurant was short on wait staff however an army of staffappeared to bring our check and clear the table at thr ebd of the meal. It took over 4 hours to get our complete meal yet tookabout 5 minutes to rush us out the door. The wait for the meal has been consistent over the past three years but being rushedout was new this year. There seemed to be a lack of attention to service, patrons' needs and comfort during a $300 meal. Read more

Fantastic location basically on the beach. Very nice bar with tropical aquarium. The menu is interesting and the execution... excellent and n sone cases while just fair in a couple of servings. The table setting is a bit cold and some small attention ismissing (e.g. Mise en Bouche) overall given the price you pay it doesn't go above a round four. Read more

Great atmosphere, good food, and great service! The waiters were nice and attentive, the food was amazing, light and totally... worth the money! Their desert was definitely a ten out of ten, and the drinks as well! Read more

Came here for drinks and they were delicious! The aquarium bar is mesmerizing to watch. The bartender and servers here were so... nice! Read more

5 star food, drinks and service. As far as I know you have to be a either a Yacht club member or guest at the 4 Seasons across... the street to dine here. Their main bar is a tropical fish aquarium where tropical fish swim around under your drinks. Theocean views are great for sunset dinners. Read more
