Valle Fresh - Los Alamos

I was visiting friends in Santa Barbara and looking forward to this dinner. My friend secured the reservation as soon as it became available. It was worth the effort. We sat outside on a beautiful evening and had a delicious dinner. I had never tried uni before and was apprehensive, but I paired it with the caviar and found it delicious. The salad was excellent fantastic date vinaigrette and then had the tomato tart. Excellent. I didnt want it to end!! Had the steak frites main yum, and the chocolate dessert. All excellent. Did not drink but the wine list was comprehensive with many options at various price points. I really liked this place, found the service great, and the location charming. Would recommend if in the area..

I was told about this place from my family who know the chef. We stopped here on the way to Palm Springs. It is a small, cute and cozy restaurant with a polished fine dinning menu. Very casual with attentive service. All the plates were delicous. This is a splurge dinner and worth the experience. I would like to try lunch when I am back in the area.

We had a very enjoyable dinner here. Our server Lindsey did a fantastic job of taking care of us. She provided good information about each of the dishes. The food was outstanding. It was a fixed price dinner and was a good value. We had an excellent experience here. Thumbs up!

Unfortunately our meal at Bells, Los Alamos was a disappointment, although our waiter did a good job. Perhaps it is because we had such high expectations that we both came away extremely underwhelmed. The dishes didn’t meet expectations in creativity, nor flavour intensity and complementary ingredients. We found the dishes to be bland and, in the case of the desserts, very uninspiring. I wish I had more positive feedback, we were really looking forward to our visit.

We went to Bell's for a birthday dinner. Start to finish we had a great night. The service was excellent, very informative and helpful, and they gave us plenty of time to enjoy each course. The food was amazing. Thank you for the memorable, enjoyable experience!
