Quiet, outside, dogs allowed & we split a Reuben sandwich - it was perfect!! We'll certainly return. But check their hours first if you go. So fun to see dogs sitting quietly with their owners - AND- they are each given a bowl of water!!!! Our new favorite place!!

Amazing! Great food and wonderful staff! An amazing long time restaurant! We have been going to this restaurant for over 40 years maybe longer. The grilled rare roast beef sandwich with Swiss is our favorite for lunch!

Great good, great location and service was amazing. If you want German this is the place for you! Seems like a good local joint!

The atmosphere both inside and outside is lovely. The beer selection is top notch. And the staff is so great. The food was fantastic. New date date night spot! Loved it!

Not only is this place charming and really cute, but it is spot-on right- on! From the moment you park and walk in, the tone is set. It is clean, tidy, loved, and taken care of. Pretty special; not many places like this. Heck, I don't really drink much beer or eat much meat, but the attentive, sharp, authentically nice service and upbeat energy of the cooks won me over. This is the kind of place to love and lunch with your loved ones. And then, especially good of you are looking for German food. They do a really excellent job with that. Open for dinner,Thursday, and Friday. Daily Different soups and specials Charming bar seating and ample, pleasant outdoor courtyard seating.

Excellent food! Great service--thank you Bridgette (or Bridget). Great Low-key, down-to-earth vibe. Lots of returning locals having a good time. If you want a fairly casual experience (mainly outdoors patio ambience) with great food (the Reuben is by far the very best in SB) and brew, this is your place to try. Cannot wait to return!

Seriously this is one of my favorite places to go. When I was at the bar and the chefs were singing to lion king and the waiter asked what kind of beer I typically like and found me the best one.... It was like a dream. Everything there is great but if you don't typically eat German food I would recommend the sausages.

My wife wanted schnitzel and a quick search through Yelp this place popped up. We were going to be in Santa Barbara anyways. Well let me tell you this was probably one of the best meals I have ever had. We got there about 20 minutes before they started serving dinner but we were seated on the nice patio and ordered some drinks. As we enjoyed our drinks we could hear the staff inside giving themselves a pep talk as if they were going out to play the Superbowl. Watched a couple of pretzels go out that were the size of a steering wheel. We ordered the tomato bisque, jaeger schnitzel and the braised short ribs. So freaking good. The staff was great and attentive. If you're in the Santa Barbara area do yourself a favor and check this place out.

THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE! Kind employees. Very welcoming. Truly and genuinely accommodating. I came here right after donating blood next door. Bridget was warm and welcoming even though it was almost closing. The chef (so sorry I didn't catch his name) assured me that they would love for me to place an order, even though I hate to do that to restaurant folk at the last moment at the end of the day. They could not have been nicer and more receptive. They truly made my day and I have to say, as a trained sommelier who knows good wine, food and service, these guys are to be commended. There menu is diverse and on point with traditional Dutch/Germanic cuisine. Aromas great you before you enter and the business is pristinely clean with a cut side garden.

I have not been to Dutch Gardens since High School most likely. Dropped by and had a great lunch! Food was delicious. Schnitzel was perfectly cooked and crunchy. Sat at the bar and was served by a wonderful Ms. Can't wait for summer so I can relax on the patio and enjoy a nice meal with a refreshing beverage
