Bar Lou

French restaurant · Coast Village

"For the past 16 years, Warner Ebbink and chef Brandon Boudet have put their full effort into Little Dom’s in Los Feliz, later expanding to Little Dom’s Seafood in Carpinteria in 2020. With Bar Lou, they’ve taken a thoughtful detour from their casual Italian menu into a full-on coastal approach in Montecito, with Boudet’s roasted carrots, crab cakes, meat-and-cheese platters, spaghettini with Santa Barbara sea urchin, and a steak au poivre with fries." - Mona Holmes
