"Bar Lou, recently opened by Warner Ebbink and chef Brandon Boudet in Montecito, offers a coastal dining approach diverging from their casual Italian roots. The menu features local seafood and produce, with dishes like roasted carrots, crab cakes, and spaghettini with Santa Barbara sea urchin. The beverage program emphasizes local wines and classic cocktails using local ingredients. The venue, redesigned by Isabelle Dahlin Design and Mahte Design, includes a tree-lined patio and vintage decor. Located in a celebrity-favored neighborhood, Bar Lou aims to provide a high-end dining experience." - Mona Holmes
