Lulio at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara

Wonderful spot for breakfast. We ate breakfast here 3 mornings during our stay and it was wonderful. Patricia and German took such good care of us, so wonderfully kind and accommodating. And Niraj, the manager, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everyone made us feel very welcome with our energetic 2 year old. Food was delivered very quickly and it was all flavorful and fresh. My husband had the huevos rancheros, breakfast sandwich and shakshuka and he raved about everything. They were able to substitute a vegan sausage instead of meat for all the dishes he ordered. I had the breakfast bowl twice and the crab and avocado omelet. The breakfast bowl was so fresh, light and flavorful with perfectly poached eggs. Everything I want in a breakfast, hence ordering it twice! And the views and

Shakshuka was our favorite, duck confit hash was a bit heavy due large chunks of potatoes inside, not my favorite. Oatmeal and acai bowl was nice. Service was lacking. They brought my duck confit with poached eggs and the server said he'll be right back with my bread. For me, right back is literally within 30 seconds. Instead, he came out 5 minutes later with full tray of entrees for the next table and my bread was on that tray so he brought me my bread after he gave the other 4 people their food. We were sitted outside so of course by the time I got my bread, my dish was already cold, so so dissapointing to eat cold poached eggs. Asked for coffee and again, he did not bring it until we flagged down another waiter to ask. For a restaurant inside the 5 star resort, this place is not up to p

My husband & I were looking for a restaurant at the Ritz Carlton Bacara Santa Barbara (where we were staying) that possibly served steak and lobster, for our anniversary (something we like to do each year). We stopped in the Luliu Restaurant and spoke with the manager Kyleigh, she mentioned that they had steak and other seafood options, but not lobster, so we moved on. Later that day we got a pleasant call from Kyleigh who said she spoke with Chef, and he said he would get lobster and to invite us. So we made a reservation for the next night. To our lovely surprise they had a beautiful ocean view table waiting for us with rose petals and an anniversary card, and a custom menu for us. Alana the General Manager came over to meet and welcome us, bringing over a complimentary bottle of champa

They were slammed the day we came so the wait was long, but the Manager Alana Hidalgo was so thoughtful and aware. Took great care of us and everyone else in the restaurant. The breakfast menu was so good. I could’ve ordered anything. The food was super fresh and hot! We are definitely coming back.

Delicious breakfast options! I enjoyed the Protein Breakfast Bowl, a decaf latte, and gluten free bread. Beautiful touches to the tables and plates, etc. There was an amazing looking breakfast buffet I wish I could've tried one morning too, but ran out of time. Complimentary coffee for guests waiting to be seated near the hostess desk. Both indoor and outdoor seating options available.
