Dutch Garden - Santa Barbara

Great German food. Not very kid friendly. Service was very good

The Dutch Garden is BACK! Pretty much the same menu, nice selection of Belgian German beers, (prices increased, as expected) but they didn 't mess with a good thing. Slightly updated dining room, patio garden improved still with the charming original little seats at the lunch counter. Will update with pics and more thoughts on food next time. Oh yeah, thought we 'd arrive at 11:45 on a Thursday to beat the rush but that didn 't work. Parking is an issue, but glad to see the place busy.

I made a quick stop for lunch on my way to Oxnard. I'm glad I did, the ambiance is adorable, food is pretty good. The place is a lot bigger than it presumed to be.

Unsatisfied service, me and my dad came here a while back and he asked for his food to be cooked a little more because it was still raw, the person making is good then went up to him aggressively and stated that my dad was wasting his money and then proceeds to raise his voice causing a whole seen, I never seen my dad so hurt and embarrassed, we will never come back here again, get more better staff cause you guys obviously need to get railed or something

The Greatest Schnitzel I have ever had. Authentic German cuisine!! Large beer selection. I definitely dig the hole in the wall decor, definitely my go-to spot. By the way the reason it's called Dutch gardens is because it was open in 1925. They changed the name during World War II because Germans were kind of frowned during the 1940's in America.
