San Ysidro Ranch

San Ysidro Ranch is a picturesque paradise in Santa Barbara, boasting flawlessly beautiful grounds and a tranquil atmosphere. The restaurant, Stonehouse, offers a range of culinary experiences, including lunch, brunch, and afternoon tea service. While the food is generally adequate, the drinks are great, and the service can be inconsistent. Some reviewers have had excellent experiences with attentive servers, while others have encountered under-trained staff and poor service. The afternoon tea service, a new offering, has received mixed reviews, with some guests enjoying the experience and others reporting slow service, poorly set tables, and subpar food. Despite these issues, the ranch's beautiful grounds and peaceful setting make it a popular destination, and many guests are willing to overlook service inconsistencies to return for lunch or brunch.
