The best!

From the tastings to the final execution Artisan by Santa Barbara was excellent! Our guests raved about the food and loved the family style dinner. Even our vegetarians were happy! You MUST order the chipotle mashed potatoes. Their onsite staff moved about the event effortlessly and kept all of the guests happy and well served. The bartenders remembered the guest’s orders and kept the bar lines moving quickly. They are a must have for your next event.

The Best Dining Experience Your Guests Will Ever Have

When my now-husband and I first dined at one of Santa Barbara Catering's restaurants, we immediately knew we had to have them cater our wedding. The variety of delectable food items made our mouths water and the taste is like nothing we’ve ever had before! Every hors d'oeuvre and entree we sampled had outstanding flavor and was displayed beautifully, even as a buffet. The vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, and the tortilla and parmesan crusted chicken breast was to die for! Our guests are STILL texting me saying how much they loved the food we had at the wedding!

Not only was the food delicious, but Santa Barbara Catering’s service and attention to detail was second to none. Our tables, linens and decor were laid out exactly as I envisioned. The beautiful colored napkins and fruitwood chairs really classed up our event and made the reception all the more gorgeous. Nobody was ever without food or drink in hand thanks to the fabulous wait staff who was working our event. There was even a gentleman who came all the way out to where we were taking photos with our photographers (which was a several minute walk from the reception) just to bring my groom and I water and hors d'oeuvres to make sure we weren’t getting faint or too hungry to continue.

We had the most beautiful, delicious dinner we could possibly have hoped for and we cannot recommend Artisan by Santa Barbara Catering Company enough! If you’re having an upcoming event, you’d be making a huge mistake by not hiring this company!
