Best restaurants near me in Orcutt / Santa Maria

From the owners to the chefs to the servers to the hosts, BLC consistently provides a top notch culinary experience at every level. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for the food permeates, from the boquerones to the cute little shrimp that holds down your bill. The menu is limber, so it is easy to craft many different meals, each journey just as exciting as the last. The wine list is a mix of local and foreign wines that is as fun, approachable, high quality and as intriguing as the restaurant itself. The Peruvian scallops are divine, truly a dish I crave often and my wife plans her work schedule around the fried chicken sandwich, making sure our reservations are early enough that it won’t have sold out. We love this restaurant. The paella, the Secreto (please keep it on the menu!) try it all, you can not go wrong. And do not skip dessert. Huge shout to Roy, your warmth and hospitality always brightens our day.

Excellent staff!! Excellent Cocktails, appetizers & meal- Can’t wait to go back!! I would love to add a photo but the app isn’t cooperating-

We just loved our lunch at Belle’s!! Food was perfect. Egg salad is a must, and the fries!! our server was amazing and so knowledgeable about the area and the local wines. The garden was inviting, just the perfect lunch stop.

Far Western Tavern is by far my favorite steakhouse. The quality of the food was amazing and the service was impeccable. The value of the meal is also amazing since it comes with everything (beans, bread, salad). I cannot speak highly enough of the Far Western.

Order the spencer steak! The real wood smell of the steak is amazing. The beans, bread, potato, veggies and chilled salad all delish! Oh, and the pickles are so tasty! Monica our server was outstanding! Luv this place!!
