Le Cafe Stella - Santa Barbara

Excellent food, cocktails, and service every time we have dined there. A gem in Santa Barbara.

We had an excellent experience at Le Cafe Stella. The service was excellent, the food delicious, and the ambience lovely. The birthday gelatto dessert was a nice surprise. Our party of three each ordered different entries which were beautifully plated and equally good. We are so happy to see Le Cafe Stella thriving once again. We won’t wait for a special occasion to return.

The beet salad was excellent! Amazing that not all French restaurants offer beef bourguignon, but theirs is so flavorful! The appetizer meatball portion was very small, too small. The service was perfect. The atmosphere is very simple and so nice for a change. Loved this local restaurant and would definitely return.

Service was slow for not being a busy evening. I have eaten here before and the food was great, this time it was overcooked.

We chose to dine outdoors which was unimpressively on a white picnic table that wasn’t very clean, had stickiness uncleaned silverware. Server was very pleasant accommodating. Chicken cordon blue, filet mignon artichokes were great. Cocktails tasty.
