“Incredibly fine dining comes to Carp,” wrote food critic George Yatchisin in a blurb about our opening.
The Daily Sound
John Dickson’s posting in the blog section of our wonderful free Santa Barbara paper, The Daily Sound on Friday, March 6 called “Favorite Places” is part of a new series where John asks locals where they like to eat and drink.
The same information appeared as a part of John Dickson’s Santa Barbara restaurant blog, “The Restaurant Guy.” It was nice that in interviewing 12 local columnists, more than one mentioned great restaurants like Los Arroyos, celebrating a 10 year anniversary soon. Great food and great people, Los Arroyos has put its stamp on the community in that time. It was nice that another restaurant, a new comer, came up mentioned twice — Sly’s.

The Santa Barbara News-Press “Scene” section saw fit to review us in their January 9 issue. They loved the filet mignon, hamburger sandwich, and spaghetti carbonara, among other things. Link to follow! (We wish they’d noticed that we are a seafood restaurant as well as having great steaks and pasta …)
