A five star dining experience.
Nothing else so far can hold a candle to this, and it helps that I love sushi. 17 course omakase, nigiri style, we were 2 of 4 people in attendance so it was a very intimate, near private experience and we were celebrating a special occasion. I cannot even begin to describe how phenomenal the presentation and taste was for each piece. Each cut of fish was delicately and elegantly dressed up with the most mouthwatering combination of toppings. The chef's were all very attentive and personable, making us all laugh throughout dinner. Apparently this location is the only one with regulars and I can clearly see why. I'll be talking about this place for a while.
Be the first to ReplyThe best sushi experience ever.
The atmosphere is lovely and intimate. Omacase selections are plentiful, simple, clean and delicious. Especially when paired with a Sake or wine flight.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best omakase experiences that I've had,
One of the best omakase experiences that I've had, hands-down. My boyfriend and I went to Sushi by Scratch: Montecito to celebrate our anniversary, and first off, the restaurant did an amazing job personalizing the experience. Before our arrival, they noted any of our allergies/dietary restrictions and took the names of my partner and me. When we arrived, the counter was already set up with name cards, along with a little "Happy Anniversary" card at the center. Food - Amazing. The fish is extremely fresh, and the 16-course omakase offering also features a variety of fish. My favorite on the menu was probably the Bone Marrow bite, simply because it was unique and I had not tasted anything like that at any other restaurant. If there is time at the end of the experience, the chef can also make bites at your request - nigiri, handrolls, etc. My boyfriend and I both opted for another bite, chef's choice. Service - Fantastic. Sushi by Scratch: Montecito offers a very intimate dining experience, with only a counter-full of patrons in a dimly-lit room alongside 3-4 sushi chefs and the waitstaff. My glass of water was never empty, and the timing of each course was perfect, ensuring minimal lag between each course, but enough time to allow you to truly savor the flavors of each course and digest. Ambiance - Once again, a very intimate setting, perfect for date-night or any celebratory event. 10/10 recommend Sushi by Scratch: Montecito for anyone that is a sushi-lover or looking for a place to celebrate a special day :)

Be the first to ReplyMy friend made a reservation for Sushi by Scratch via Resy
My friend made a reservation for Sushi by Scratch via Resy and we were so excited to try the Michelin-starred omakase. It was $25 for a non-refundable deposit. The restaurant is conveniently located inside Montecito Inn with valet. Guests check-in at the lobby and get a complimentary cocktail (yuzu, ginger, and sake) before getting seated. The sushi bar is extremely intimate and exclusive with only 10 seats. Our names were written on a little chalkboard, so we had to find it and sit. Unfortunately for my friend and me, the other 8 people were from the same party and they were extremely loud. I get it, it's a birthday celebration, but I wasn't prepared for all the yelling and screaming and loud chattering for 1.5 hours. Not calming nor zen. Regardless of the noise, the 17-course meal was absolutely spectacular. Every nigiri tasted tasted so fresh and melted in my mouth. My favorites were the hotate and albacore. Even all the cocktails I got to try were delicious and refreshing. The chef and bartender were extremely attentive and so fun to chat with. Can't wait to come back (but I'll make sure that I'm not stuck with a rowdy big party)!!
Be the first to ReplyWOW! Absolutely mind blowing-ly good nigiri-style omakase
WOW! Absolutely mind blowing-ly good nigiri-style omakase experience crafted in front of you with the addition of deliciously creative flavors to the individual bites of the freshest fish you have ever tasted. It is no surprise they have been recognized with a Michelin star. The experience is complete with equally delicious cocktails, and wonderful people on the chef team. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Definitely! I will be back.

If you're like me and scanning the Yelp reviews and comparing between option A or B, just stop. Don't even think about it, just cancel whatever you have planned. This place is 11/10. Unreal service, high quality sushi, just do it.
Be the first to ReplyCame here for my best friend's birthday & it was such an
Came here for my best friend's birthday & it was such an amazing experience. The service is top notch. We came early to enjoy a very small welcome drink, they offer alcoholic & non-alcoholic versions. We got the alcoholic one & it was a delicious start. Seating is intimate with only 10 seats at the bar. We had a 17 course omakase for $185/person. It is pricey, but that's expected & you should already know you're going to spend a lot of money here. The experience was very personalized, your name is written at your seat & they make sure to address any allergies. Every bite during the omakase was amazing, some of my favorites were the bone marrow, king salmon, & wagyu. They also have an extensive drink menu, I opted for a mocktail & the bartender customized the drink since I was feeling something on the sweeter side, it was perfect. My friend ordered some cocktails & had also asked the bartender for something sweet, they all tasted amazing! We loved that the bartender was able to customize a drink based on what we wanted. We also finished off with a small dessert, which was some kind of bar with ice cream & other stuff mixed in. This was so amazing & has been the best dessert I've ever had at any omakase. It was apparently made by the owner's wife who is a pastry chef. Overall, we had such a great experience & will come back again on a special occasion in the future.
Be the first to ReplyThis was mine and my fiancés first omakase experience, and
This was mine and my fiancés first omakase experience, and wow it was so incredible. We were in town for the weekend, and wanted to celebrate our engagement/late valentines date. We did some research on tik tok and came I came across this spot and heard it was a must try and is Michelin! I was reading other reviews, and since I can't compare this experience to other omakase spots, I will say that the omakase was one of the best things I've had. EVER! Checking in- checking in was nice and easy. You need to go to the lobby, and you'll see a section where you'll check in with someone and they'll ask you questions about allergies, if you want to add in supplements (such as caviar), etc. They also offer you a nice welcome refreshment with a choice of alcohol or non-alcohol. It was such a nice refreshment and definitely cleansed the palette. Highly suggest arriving early as they typically start right on time! Service & Area- You are seated with 8 other folks, 10 people total in the space. The ambiance is so chilled, and it gives you a speakeasy feel. The chefs introduce themselves, and there is a bartender or beverage specialist that goes over the beverage parings and drinks. I honestly don't think you need to be pressured to order a sake or wine paring, it is another 100+ each person for the pairing. We just opted for a mock tail and a beer and that's totally fine if you don't want to drink. I think people think you HAVE to order a drink, but it's really not necessary. All the 3 chefs were friendly and very attentive. They have a good assembly going when crafting each omakase piece. I wish we were able to sit more in the middle, but all in all it was amazing service!!! They also congratulated us on our engagement and future wedding, super personable. Food- There was not one thing I didn't like!!! Their fish and seafood is imported from all over the world! Spain, Canada, parts of Japan (mostly Hokkaido). Everything was so fresh, buttery, and melts. It is so hard to choose a favorite, but my top choices was the Tess in, toro, hotate, escolar, unagi. I'm not even a fan of unagi but the flavor was just something else! I was so pleased. They offer additional pieces for an added fee, we opted out because I think everything we already had was super satisfying. Each person is $185 and they also add the 20% automatic gratuity. It is pretty steep, but I still recommend this to folks who are looking for a great experience with delicious omakase.
Be the first to ReplyI am somewhere in the four zone but will give them a five
I am somewhere in the four zone but will give them a five for my husband. The sushi was excellent. We did opt for the add on truffle/ caviar. I would absolutely not do that again. At over $100 per person it did not elevate the experience and in fact, overwhelmed the delicate flavors of the fish. Additionally, we ordered the saki experience and the mixed drink experience, I would also not recommend doing so, frankly, it was just too much alcohol. If talented Kevin is the bartender and you are in the mood, split the cocktails, there is enough for two and you want to stay sharp for the entire dinner. Kevin is a skilled bartender, but all of the sakis were not so outstanding I would need to revisit them. One or two were pretty tasty. Sushi bites: the tessin, scallop, escolar, spotted shrimp and toro were terrific. I prefer classic omakase honestly but I did love the nigiri. The sushi was delicious. We did the add on. The service was warm and friendly, the meal extremely good. Slices not so large, rice not so warm, but flavors beautifully balanced. Everyone was very young, either we are getting super old or everyone was super young, however everyone was nice. It was a great experience. I do think the costs are out of proportion, but it was very yummy and I am glad we joined them for a Tasty meal.
Be the first to ReplyUnique omakase! Make sure you arrive 15-30 minutes early
Unique omakase! Make sure you arrive 15-30 minutes early for the palate cleansing welcome drink. They have an alcoholic and non alcoholic option, both of which were light and delicious. The seafood is flown in from Japan and is super fresh. The accoutrements are top notch with a few little somethin' somethin's in every piece of nigiri (ie: torched bone marrow drippings, freshly grated wasabi, etc). My bf also got the beverage pairing ($115) which included 2 sakes, 1 wine pour, 1 wine and 1 beer. I opted for a yuzu mocktail which was sweet and delicious. Additions: For an additional charge (over $100/pp but I forgot the exact price quoted), you're offered either truffles or caviar to five of the nigiri pieces. At the end of the meal, you're also able to add on chef's creations for an additional (unknown) price too. There's three sushi chefs, a host and a drink specialist on staff for up to ten guests each seating. For the most part, we were taken care of, but one big miss was unfortunately, after the warm towel for our hands, we had zero napkins. That was very much needed. 20% auto gratuity. This is the location that won a Michelin star in 2022.
Be the first to ReplyIve been looking at this menu for two years wanting to go.
What Im reviewing today is their decision to raise their prices FIFTY PERCENT in the two years they've been open. Omakase menu started at $125 in 2021 and now it's $185. In two years. Has the price of fish gone up 50% in 2 years? Has rent? Has the staffs salary? Nobody should support this kind of unwarranted inflation. It's not about the money - I eat expensive meals - it's about the insanity of this. I know inflation is through the rough and the cost of everything is up but this is gross.
Be the first to ReplyIt seems like stating the obvious, but this is the best
It seems like stating the obvious, but this is the best sushi we've ever had. It is far and away better and more thorough than the best of the ordinary sushi. I highly recommend the house drink pairing. There's some magic here. They should advertise the two extra bites as two menu options in advance so it doesn't become a hidden end cost though.
Be the first to ReplyI had been wanting to try this place for while and was
I had been wanting to try this place for while and was taken on my birthday. The whole experience was great front start to finish. I would highly recommend coming here. The whole experience is outstanding. It's omakase style and every pick was exceptional. At the end you do get a choice to get extra pieces made by the other chefs which will be their choice on how to prep the fish you pick.
Be the first to ReplyLast night three of us went to Sushi Bar Montecito.
This was my second time, having gone a few years ago after they newly opened. The core concept was largely the same (16-17 pieces of nigiri over a few hours) but the experience was very different. They still have to meet in the lobby of the Montecito Inn for a welcome drink. This time they were ready and offered a non-alcoholic option. Last time, we had to call in a special request and it seemed kind of out of their way to specially make this drink. They also had mocktails available for dinner which I think shows how progressive the industry is becoming. One complaint I had about my first visit was how over the top and "car salesman-y" the dish presentations were. I was glad they shuffled some people around and now the descriptions are still fun and energetic but toned downed and shortened a lot. We also had new chefs this time and the one that served us was great and struck a good balance between letting us converse but also interjecting with questions and comments.The meal was overall very good. I love all types of sushi so I am happy if I am served very traditional pieces or super fusion-y nigiri. I think if you are a purist, you might be turned off by the different accompaniments to the fish. But that's the thing, I think this is what works in SB an what people think of when they think of expensive sushi places (you can blame Arigato, Sakana, etc for that). I don't think there was a single bad bite except with one piece I experienced a really strong bitter flavor. I am not sure if it was the powder they topped it with or because I had a sip of my shiso lemonade before the bite and it interacted poorly with an ingredient.The meal lasted over two hours which is both surprising and not. 17 bites sounds like a lot but each piece of nigiri is tiny. I didn't leave hungry but I certainly wasn't stuffed. I could have probably eaten the entire menu again. The pacing was pretty good too. Some periods between bites kind of went long but never terribly so.What left me with a really bad taste in my mouth was how they chose to handle their price increase. My friend made our reservations almost 20 days before our meal. On Tock they announced they would raise the price of the meal 18% on March 1st. Our meal was exactly on that day. You would think they would charge the new price for reservations moving forward, not ones that were made pre-announcement, nearly three weeks prior. But no, they charged all of us an additional 18%. We emailed them before the meal, but they didn't make any adjustments. They also had just one seating that night (the late seating was canceled or people just didn't book it). So they could have easily done the right thing and honored the original price. It would have affected ten seats?It's hard to say if the experience was worth it at the original price of $140 but it's an even harder pill to swallow at the new price. I enjoyed by food but I am not sure if this is a place you visit yearly or even every 3 years. Or not at all? With Yochi's and Ama in town offering omakase/kaiseki there's stiff competition at a lower price point. If you just love rolls and nigiri and like the interesting flavor combinations, you can eat a lot of it by going to Arigato and spending less money.
Be the first to ReplyThe sushi here was amazing.
Every single piece was made to perfection and I enjoyed every bite. Besides the spectacular food, what makes this place one of the best is the service and ambiance provided by the staff. Every one of the chefs and the bartender made this experience fun and worthwhile. Not only were they amazing chefs but they were personable and descriptive. I will definitely be coming back again when I visit Santa Barbara.
Be the first to ReplyMy first Michelin star experience!! My partner reserved
My first Michelin star experience!! My partner reserved seats for our anniversary through their website. You were required to deposit $25 per person that gets reduced at the end during check out.Sushi by Scratch is a part of the Montecito hotel, but across entrance of the hotel lobby. When you enter, there is someone in front that does valet for your car. It is recommended to get to the restaurant 15-30 minutes before your reservation. A worker welcomes you into the hotel lobby across the bar and presents you with a small story and cocktail. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, your choice! I opted for the alcoholic drink, which was ginger, lime, sake, and whiskey and it was so interesting! I tried my partners non-alcoholic cocktail, which was similar but the alcohol was replaced with honey. Once everyone trickles into the hotel lobby, the worker brings us into the sushi bar! We started our 16 course meal, and ended with one dessert. Each piece was fresh and curated interestingly, but packed with a bunch of ingredients. There were so many ingredients on each piece, I can't recall anything LOL. The ones that definitely stood out to me was the Spot Prawn, Kanpachi, Shima Aji, , and the King Salmon. Best presentation goes to the unagi piece.. this had bone marrow juice melted on top, which looked so cool!! Drooling just thinking about it... One of the details I liked about this sushi bar was that the menu/fish was displayed on the wall, so we can keep track of what we were eating. I always forget what I eat, and it's always great to have a menu to see what we're eating! Overall, this is a more modern approach to omakase, but still delicious!
Be the first to ReplyI enjoyed every moment of my experience and the sushi was
I enjoyed every moment of my experience and the sushi was "beyond"! Every single bite had me doing a little happy dance - amazing flavor profiles. Chef Ricardo, Chef Ryan and Chef Ryan and bartender Jamie prepared our eating & drinking "experience" with the utmost care and attention. The atmosphere was relaxed and approachable, which is something that appealed to me - not stuffy or intimidating - just relaxed, delicious and fun. I personally enjoy engaging with the people who serve me, and I found everyone to be very friendly and accommodating. And let's not forget the sake pairings - coming from someone who is not typically a sake fan - they were delish!Overall - thank you Sushi by Scratch for giving me a memorable evening with delicious food and kind, attentive associates! Bravo!!
Be the first to ReplySushi by Scratch is an innovative, decidedly untraditional
Sushi by Scratch is an innovative, decidedly untraditional sushi restaurant. Matt B. and I went for a late dinner the night after Christmas and had an absolutely wonderful time.We booked our 9:30 Monday night seating almost two weeks in advance. The place is small and popular, one of only two restaurants in Santa Barbara with a Michelin star, so plan ahead if you want to visit. Reservations are through Tock and require a deposit of $25 a person, which gets applied against your check. The meal itself will cost you $145 a person plus alcohol and a nondiscretionary 20% service fee with no additional tip line, a model I always appreciate.Dinner takes about two hours, and it's a delightful experience. We were told we could arrive up to a half hour in advance and enjoy a welcome cocktail in the lobby of the Montecito Inn. This served as a pleasant waiting area for the restaurant, which is a tiny space on the hotel grounds, across the valet stand from the lobby. We were greeted with a fragrant, refreshing cocktail of Japanese whiskey with yuzu and sake, then led to the restaurant when it was time to for the show to begin.The sushi bar was lively and intimate, with ten seats arranged along a counter, behind which three guys named either Brian, Ryan, and Brian or Ryan, Brian, and Ryan prepared our dinner. A fourth guy named Jaime served as host and bartender, and everyone was super friendly and energetic.The food was all omakase, sixteen pieces of sushi with optional add-ons at the end of the night, plus one dessert course. The main decision we had to make was what to drink with our food, and Jaime strongly suggested the beverage pairing, a combination of sake, wine, beer, and cocktails for $110 apiece. This was fun. We got a junmai sake, a creamy dry nigori, an Alsatian white wine, a Japanese-style lager from Goleta, and three cocktails: the Bee's Japanese with smoked honey, yuzu, and Japanese gin; a drink with pomegranate juice, Japanese whiskey, and Portuguese port; and warm sake and matcha tea steeped with umeshu. The pours were so teeny tiny, though, that the pairing ended up feeling like a rip-off. I liked trying different beverages throughout the night, but the total amount of alcohol was about two full drinks. I don't regret doing the pairing, but I'd probably skip it in the future and just order a bottle of sake.The sushi was fantastic, each bite a thoughtful, delicious little creation that highlighted the main ingredient with interesting combinations of supporting flavors. First, there was a neat little tessin hand roll, made with the tail cut of bluefin tuna, ponzu, matcha salt, lemon, and wasabi, with ikura, avocado, and scallion on top. Then, hamachi with sweet corn pudding, sourdough crumbs, and wasabi. Buttery otoro came with pineapple brûléed with brown sugar, as well as a brushing of house soy and wasabi. The scallop with yuzu kosho, poblano peppers, and ponzu was phenomenal. The madai was simple and elegant, finished with sesame chile, ponzu, and scallions.I loved the prawn and the shima aji, which played with the flavors of al pastor and aguachile: the Canadian spot prawn was torched and served with pickled pineapple and ponzu, the shima aji with pickled red onion, lime, and jalapeño kosho. Ora king salmon was meltingly good, with lemon juice, ponzu, matcha salt, and kizami, or pickled wasabi stem. Albacore was dry aged in nori and garlic then topped with crispy onions and ponzu. Kanpachi came with tamarind chile jam, garlic chip, and ponzu. Akami was dry aged and served with soy, salt, wasabi, and a bit of caviar.Matt doesn't eat uni, so I got a double portion of the beautiful Santa Barbara uni with lemon juice, wasabi, and nori. Team Brian/Ryan noticed and gave Matt a nigiri with nori and caviar on the house, which was really nice. Escolar got a hit from the blowtorch and a topping of house-cured ikura and wasabi.The omakase ended with three meatier bites, starting with lightly torched A5 Hida wagyu draped over rice, with pickled white asparagus and chive on top. Then a glistening glob of bone marrow with soy, salt, and kizami. Finally, there was unagi with soy, ponzu, matcha salt, Bali salt, and poblano kosho, as well as a coat of that bone marrow melted on top.This was plenty of food, but we decided to keep it going, letting the chefs try out a couple of newer nigiri instead of revisiting favorite pieces. There was salmon with chili, ponzu, fried onion, yuzu zest, and pickled serrano, then kanpachi with jalapeño, ponzu, serrano powder, jalapeño relish, Bali salt, and lemon juice and zest. Dinner ended with a nigiri-sized dessert of makrut lime ice cream with sesame shortbread cookie, and coconut in a white chocolate shell.Sushi by Scratch feels like a special occasion place, but I'll be tempted to go whenever we're in town and have someone else to watch our kids. It's an extraordinary spot with excellent food and a zestful energy, and I can't wait for our next visit.
Be the first to ReplyMy husband and i got a last minute reservation and we were
My husband and i got a last minute reservation and we were very excited to try sushi by scratch. This was our first Omakase experience and my first restaurant with a Michelin star. There are 17 "bites"/courses and the pacing of the meal was perfect. They have a great cocktail menu as well. My husband and I each tried two cocktails. I really enjoyed the "bees Japanese." The flavors of each bite were fun and unique- all nigiri. Per the chefs, 6 of the sushi pieces are standard across all their sushi locations and the rest are up to the chefs to create. I'm knocking a star for two reasons. One, they started serving the sushi courses prior to getting drinks out. Two, at the end of the meal they offered two additional bites but they were not transparent that this would cost additional money (2 "bites" per person = $75 added to the bill). They should do away with the extra bites for extra cost ASAP. Overall, this was a fun experience for a special occasion. Next time i would ask for the seats in front of the chefs as we were on the side and could not see the prep!

Wonderful experience! Extremely fresh fish with well prepared sushi by excellent chefs. The 16 courses plus dessert was perfect amount for us, will definitely go back again.
Be the first to ReplyLet me first start off by saying I am not a novice omakase
Let me first start off by saying I am not a novice omakase go-er i basically go to one every month in different states because i travel for work. I've been to other Michelin star'd omakase and this seemed kind of mediocre to the award. Me and my bf went to the Santa Barbara location for a NYE dinner and he was extremely upset about our seating (there are 2 seats to the right side that basically face the chefs backs) so there's that to look out for. And on that note they weren't as attentive to us like the others. The lighting in there really sucks and they apparently won't allow flash which wasn't stated on their tock or email. When it comes to the quality of their food, most things i thought were good but nothing was actually that special or mind blowing. No rare ingredients were used just the basic dishes and ingredients you'd find at any other omakases. Also i didn't come starving but i definitely didnt leave full, me and my bf were already planning what to eat after half way in.What i thought was cool though was that they put the courses on the board and put the price for a la carte.Its unfortunate I can't give a better review because this is apparently the best in the area and I was doing hard research for a special Nye dinner.

Great -7 course meal with excellent drink pairings and service you would expect from a Michelin restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyThis wasn't my first omakase experience and the first one I
This wasn't my first omakase experience and the first one I had was absolutely amazing. With that plus seeing the price per person, I had extremely high expectations. Let me tell you, Sushi by Scratch surpassed them. Oh my goodness. I'm actually speechless just thinking about an accurate way to describe this restaurant.The description when you reserve advises you to come 15-20 minutes early. We arrived around 4:55 and it wasn't until 5 pm that we were greeted with the complimentary drink. So don't bother coming so early. There's complimentary valet parking and we wait in the hotel lobby, across from the restaurant.First of all, it's very intimate. They only allow 10 people in total to seat and we're all located at the sushi bar. Up close and personal with the chefs. They write your name where you sit so it's quite nice and welcoming when the chefs and bartender address you by your name. The menu of fish they serve is posted on the wall so you don't lose track. The chefs get to know you and the other guests. Because it's only 10 people, even you get to know each other.You eat with your hands here. No chopsticks! Which is actually how they do it in Japan. They provide a nice hot towel before serving so you can clean your hands.Okay now the good stuff... this was probably the best omakase, let alone sushi experience, I have ever had. The rice was the perfect texture. Each fish melts in your mouth. The flavors added, for example: cherry blossom salt (yes I was shocked too), roasted matcha salt, house soy, lemon, sweet corn, and so forth. Flavors and toppings you would've never thought of. We were served unagi coated with the oils of bone marrow. BONE MARROW. Truth be told I teared after almost every bite because it was delicious. Happy tears. I ordered a cocktail. I don't remember the name of it but it was the first one listed with yuzu. 10/10 recommend. So delicious! The bartender, Jaime, is what the chef described as a "whiskey nerd", so if you like whiskey, he can compare their Japanese whiskey to one of your faves. It comes with 17 servings and we got lucky. Our 17th one was a choice of either choosing one of the 16 fishes we had OR A5 wagyu. You best believe we got the wagyu and you best believe it tasted just as amazing as everything else.The dessert which is supposed to be 17th, but 18th dish for us was an ice cream that I wish we had more of. I forgot the description but it was also the best mini treat I've had. The dinner was concluded with a matcha beverage mixed with whatever lovely ingredients the bartender mentioned with some Japanese sake.My oh my if you're still here, stop wasting your time thinking and go for it. I was already looking for the next reservation and we still haven't left the restaurant. It's extremely pricey but well worth it. You're paying for excellent food and service. There's really no place like this. I really do believe the closest sushi experience I'll get to this is visiting Japan itself.Side note: the complimentary welcome and farewell drinks are alcoholic but they do offer non alcoholic options, as well as mocktails. They do it all!
