    Truly spectacular. This wasn't just dinner, this was an experience. Not only was this dinner fresh, flavorful and a very new sushi experience for me (I've had omakase before but this was next level); this was a night I wont forget. This dinner comes with a story and our chef was amazing. He even makes some of the gorgeous plates the food is served on! It truly felt like dining with family. Not only is the food and the service best of class but every detail in the restaurant is thoughtful and beautiful. Somehow they achieve a combo of pristine but also cozy and comfy. Highly recommend and very fortunate to have been able to experience AMA.

    Tucked inside the stunning Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel, this spot is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate. The setting is coastal luxury at its best -- ocean breezes outside, an elegant, high-end ambiance inside. We stopped here on our way home from a weekend in Carmel, a little road-weary and just looking for something relaxing. What we got was way beyond that -- easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Service? Impeccable. Jared was our server and he set the tone -- kind, genuine, and completely on top of everything (he even chased me down when I accidentally left my credit card at the table). Food? Next-level. We went for a mix of small plates, nigiri, and rolls. The Woman of the Sea Roll was a standout -- light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with salmon and a hint of lemon. For nigiri, we sampled uni, king salmon, red snapper, barracuda, and toro. Every piece melted in your mouth -- fresh, rich, and beautifully prepared. Even the "simple" sides like the seaweed salad, edamame, and miso soup had us impressed. And don't skip dessert. The mandarin chocolate dish was unique, bold, and the perfect finish to the meal. Between the food, the service, and the atmosphere, this place nails it. Absolute 10/10. Can't wait to come back.

    The host team and our server, who helped us with the menu, were absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed every single bite of our meal. We're already looking forward to coming back. Thank you so much to everyone for such a fantastic experience!

    Such a great evening with Chef Scott! The ambiance, service, and everything was impeccable. Chef Scott was personable, knowledgeable, and it was truly such a great experience getting to sit and witness him at work. Every single sushi and food offered had such intention and flavor - he didn't overdo the fish with any sauces like other places do. Instead, Chef Scott allowed each fish to be the star by bringing out the most of its own flavor. Oh, and every single ceramic that he served our food with was also handmade by him - talk about attention to detail! We had such a fabulous time and will recommend AMA to all our friends. thank you again!

    Honestly I'm always skeptical of Michelin starred restaurants but my god did this DELIVER. Best sushi I ever had (we did a la carte and got 4 of their specialty rolls). The lobster and jalepeno one was the best I've ever had. Their service was impeccable with our server bringing me all of the hot sauces he had when I told him I eat everything with hot sauce lol I was also craving Brussels sprouts so they made a special appetizer option for me and brought me my Brussels sprouts! Vibe was also so nice, in the rosewood hotel underneath tree/lights lit up at nighttime. Super cute patio. They also brought us complimentary matcha eclair type dessert when we told them we were celebrating! I don't always give five stars to places but this one really deserves it bc not one thing was off. Everything met our expectations :) def coming back when we come back to montecito/santa Barbara.

    Ambiance is beautiful but the sushi feel short for me. Sushi was unfortunately fishy and that was a disappointment for me. We also had the teriyaki chicken which was deliciously delightful! The drinks were phenomenal! The mochi cake was heaven!

    For the sushi enthusiast or just someone who love great food, I highly recommend the omakase AMA Sushi dinner. The other night we went out and from start to finish the dinner was an amazing experience. Hats off to Chef Daniel for taking care of us and the delicious he prepared. Every course was amazing from the appetizers to each roll. The rolls had a fresh ocean taste and were unique in their own way. The two desserts to end the meal were even complimentary of the meal as well. The setting was intimate with only 8 people in the room and getting to talk to the chef and asking him questions about each dish. 5 stars and would definitely go back again!

    Pre Fixe: sushi and 1 cut roll (Dungeness crab roll)

    AMA did it again. Second visit this year but went for the pre fixe menu this time and WOW! This might be the best sushi restaurant, maybe even best restaurant, in town. I love the prefix menu because it gave me a little taste of everything. We started off with the seared tuna and king salmon and the quality of the fish is unmatched. Next round was the large plates. I ordered the sake cod and was appalled that my husband ordered the chicken teriyaki, but let me tell you, I'm so glad he did. The cod was cooked to perfection and you could taste the premium sake marinade. I don't know what he did to this chicken teriyaki, but it was as if I was eating high-quality picking duck. It was so juicy while the chicken skin was crispy. I literally could cry over the chicken. Service is always on point. We will definitely be back soon since they changed it over to their spring menu.

    OUBAITORI cocktail (lychee, plum, chamomile, vermouth, Japanese vodka)... heaven! So light and delicate.

    Excellent service, excellent food... loved sitting at the 4-seat bar for an intimate date night (with secluded ambiance). IMPORTANT NOTE -- restaurant seating is always on the outdoor patio (thankfully they have heaters and blankets) UNLESS doing the omakase chef tasting menu, or if you can snag one of the 4 chairs at the small indoor bar. Bartender Justin had exquisite rapport (knew when to converse and when to let us enjoy our dinner). He gave excellent food descriptions + customized cocktails to our liking, and was so knowledgeable when we asked questions about Japanese whiskies, vodkas and sakes. Having relocated from LA/Palisades, I am so happy to find a sushi restaurant that is a cross between Katsuya & Nobu Malibu (quality and vibe wise) without being egregiously overpriced, which I was fearing with the restaurant being at Rosewood Miramar hotel. $28 for a spicy tuna/amberjack cut roll (8pc) not bad for an upscale sushi spot, IMO. Can't say enough good things and will absolutely be back, especially with Justin as our server/bartender. Note: Valet was free with validation from our server

    Went to AMA while we were staying at the rosewood. I honestly found it to be a very average type of meal. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything great either. We went during nye so it was a little elevated experience at $275 per person but I thought it was very average. The app course the osechi was not very good it had different items on it but I only liked the lotus root. Some of the nigiri options were great but some just fell flat! The chutoro, uni and toro with truffles were def the highlight of the meal. The soups course was also very average. Dessert also fell flat. The service and drinks were great! The head chef was also great with his attitude and the way he was preparing the sushi! I def think that AMA has potential but the flavor of the food needs to be enhanced!

    I'm so glad we chose to eat at AMA Sushi. We did the 4 course meal which included zensai, mein kosu, sushi, and dessert. The price was very reasonable for the amount of food we got. I got the Maguro No Tataki which was good if you're a fish lover. I ordered the prime filet as my main dish which was delicious. It was cooked perfectly. For the sushi options, you get to select from nigiri, sashimi, or a veggie sushi roll. I got the Kani and the Yasai which I loved! The roll tasted fresh and delicious. For dessert, I tried the cheesecake which was okay, I wished there was a chocolate option! The service was outstanding! Sean and Chikara took great care of us. Sean took his time explaining the menu to us and checked on us throughout the entire night. He provided outstanding customer service and made our experience very special! The restaurant itself is really cute and cozy. I loved the vibe and ambiance. This is the perfect spot for a date night!

    I came here for omakase, and I'd say it's not your traditional omakase where it's mostly nigiri pieces. There were a lot of extra courses such as soup, tempura, and veggies as well. I liked the nigiri course the most, which consisted of eight nigiri pieces. The fish was fresh, and the chefs took the time to explain each fish in detail, highlighting their unique qualities and advising us on how best to enjoy them. I also enjoyed the sashimi course, featuring red snapper, bluefin tuna, and kanpachi. The freshness of the fish was evident, and the addition of fresh wasabi was great. Each piece had its own distinct flavor profile, making it a memorable dish. I loved the creativity and uniqueness in the other courses as well, and the desserts were especially good. Note that most things were already seasoned and not intended to be consumed with traditional soy sauce and wasabi. Personally, I would have preferred a more traditional approach to sushi. For drinks, I tried the Yugen cocktail, which caught my attention due to its combination of yuzu and champagne. However, it ended up tasting predominantly like sake, with an overwhelming rice flavor. It was a bit too strong for my liking. The interior of Ama Sushi exuded a fancy ambiance, and I enjoyed the overall vibes. The pace of the meal was well-maintained, with a suitable amount of pauses between each course. It lasted about two hours for us. Overall, Ama Sushi provided a great and very unique dining experience. The variety of courses was impressive, although I did wish there were more traditional nigiri and sashimi offerings. Considering the amount of raw fish provided, I found the price to be a little on the higher side, despite the exceptional taste.

    Every time I stay at Rosewood Miramar, I book Omakase at AMA Sushi. I love the cozy lighting and the atmosphere feels calm. You feel taken care of as soon as you are seated with the diligent care of the staff. Each dish served has unique and memorable flavors. I enjoyed talking with the chefs every time, they're kind and bubbly.

    How do you make reservations for omakase? I used the online option and got a regular reservation instead and noted that there was only three reservations for the slots.

    How much is their omakase? And are they very strict on the dress code? Also do they let patrons order to go?

Had reservations for 7 pm dinner on Friday. The place wasn't busy during our entire dining experience. Aside from a larger table of ~10 people and 2 smaller tables, the place was empty, which was nice and quiet for date night and anniversary celebration. The 9-course Kaiseki was plate after plate of flavor. Highlights: - Course 4: Somen with sweet broth, grilled beef, and grilled green onion. THIS. The beef was so good, I refused to swallow, so I could savor the flavor. Fatty in flavor. Lean in cut. Somen cooked to perfection. - Course 7: Chilean sea bass simmered in bonito chicken broth with daikon and green beans ~ THE SEA BASS WAS GAS. Marinated in miso before grilling, the tenderness and juiciness of the sea bass is locked in prior to simmering in the broth. Chicken broth with the bonito added depth to the dish. - Course 9: Black sesame pudding with tangerine jelly ~ THIS. This dish embodied the level of black sesame I expect for any dish. Tangerine jelly cuts through as a nice refresher for the next bite. Perfectly not too sweet. All in all, I had the best experience. Each component of a dish adds its own flavor that completes the dish as a whole. Ultimately, one of my favorite culinary experiences that took my taste buds on a journey! Would return!

Every bite tasted clean and high quality, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to enjoy a range of seafood in one dish. I also ordered the Ultimate 10, which features ten pieces of premium nigiri. While the fish itself was certainly fresh, I found it difficult to justify the $80 price tag. There was nothing wrong with the quality, but the overall experience didn't quite feel proportionate to the cost. If you're looking to maximize value, I'd probably steer toward some of the other menu offerings instead. I love uni (sea urchin) and it was particularly fresh, creamy, and rich without being overly briny. Another surprise was the Gold Shot, featuring quail egg, uni, chives, and ponzu. The combination works beautifully, delivering a burst of creaming, savory, and bright flavors in a single bite. The Popcorn Rock Shrimp was also a winner, crispy and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. The Wakame salad (seaweed) was also refreshing making it a great palate cleanser between some of the richer dishes. The Wokked Edamame was also quite yummy with the garlic chile sauce. The restaurant was bustling during my visit, creating a lively atmosphere that reflected its popularity. Despite how busy it was, the staff remained friendly, and welcoming, and attentive. Be sure to make reservations. Overall, Arigato delivers on freshness and quality, which is ultimately what matters most at a sushi restaurant. While I wasn't completely sold on the value of some of the higher priced items, there were enough standout dishes throughout the meal to make it a worthwhile visit. I'd happily return and explore more of the menu on a future visit.

We were drawn in by the happy hour specials, which were advertised until 7:30 p.m. We arrived at 7:15 p.m. and ordered a couple of appetizers from the happy hour menu, along with miso soup and sushi rolls. At the time, we were the only two customers seated in the dimly lit dining room. As soon as our appetizers arrived, gnats began swarming our table. One landed on my water glass, and another ended up in our soy sauce. After dealing with a couple of them, we felt rushed to finish our meal before more appeared, which made for a very unpleasant dining experience. The food itself was decent, but nothing memorable. The miso soup could have been served hotter, though I did appreciate that it wasn't overly salty. Our server was friendly, attentive, and our food arrived promptly. One aspect that made the experience uncomfortable was that the four staff members stood nearby watching us eat, which gave the impression they were waiting for us to finish and leave. Finally, despite ordering multiple happy hour appetizers before the advertised cutoff time, only one item was discounted at the happy hour price. Overall, the service was good, but the insect issue, uncomfortable atmosphere, and pricing left us disappointed. Unfortunately, this isn't a restaurant we'll be returning to.

    Silvers Omakase is a dead serious omakase sushi restaurant helmed by Lennon Silvers Lee, a white…read moreguy from Van Nuys, the San Fernando Valley neighborhood where I happened to be born. Before opening Silvers, Chef Lennon opened several restaurants with his brother, including Sushi by Scratch in Montecito, one of the best places you can eat in Santa Barbara. Scratch is now a national empire, with dozens of restaurants in several states. Lennon branched off to do something just as ambitious, in a different direction: this beautiful, Michelin-starred, ten-seat sushi bar, where everything is honed and polished to his exacting standards. We booked Silvers for an early Valentine's Day dinner, a luxurious Thursday date night. Our reservation was for the second seating, at 8:15, but we were informed there would be champagne in the waiting room should we decide to arrive at 8:00. We had babysitting, so we were there at 8:00 sharp to claim our welcome drinks. The waiting room was comfortable, and we enjoyed hanging out and meeting the other diners. When Chef Lennon was ready, we were ushered in and led to our seats, which were designated with name cards. The chef introduced himself and his small, mighty staff. They were a wonderful team, and they took great care of us throughout the meal. Seems worth noting, too, that they all seemed to like each other and admire Lennon. The menu was 100% omakase, so the only decision we had to make was what to drink with our sushi. We went for the standard sake pairing, and this was excellent, a nice variety of sakes, each chosen to accompany two or three courses. The pours were about three ounces each, but we quickly learned that they'd get topped up if we finished them early. The food was outstanding, and I enjoyed hearing Lennon talk about where it all came from with such obvious passion and expertise. I guess most of the fish is sourced from Japan, though he gets some of it local, plus a lot of his produce. His rice comes from a very specific place in Japan that supplies no other restaurant in America, and Lennon and his team prepares it through a laborious-sounding process. The resulting rice was genuinely superb. But first, we enjoyed a few sashimi dishes. Kurodai in a citrus broth with bitter soy and a touch of yuzu kosho, then kanpachi brushed with soy sauce with a dollop of fresh wasabi on the side. Hotate came with daikon sprouts and navel orange zest in a light house dashi. Then we had kelp-cured buri cooked briefly in shabu broth, served with daikon and shiso flowers. At this point, we were given house pickled ginger then taken on a nigiri journey. We had madai, kinmedai, shima-aji, nodoguro, and saba--so much beautiful, delicious fish. Then we had three superb pieces of tuna: akami, chutoro, and otoro, in order of decadence. Finally, a uni hand roll with shiso, one of my favorites of the night, and sugar-dusted Japanese Amaou strawberries for dessert. This was a lovely omakase experience. Elegant, pared down, and traditional, just premium fish and rice, meticulously prepared by Chef Lennon. If you want top tier sushi in Santa Barbara, Silvers Omakase is hard to beat.

    I'm conflicted about my experience with this experience. There were some amazing things and some…read morevery boring things. I think that curation of rare fish is not enough. The creativity and was lacking. It was basically a rare perfectly cute raw fish tasting with no other culinary edge. Because this is rated a Michelin star, I have to disagree on every level from a food perspective,

    What a great little gem! We were craving seafood and oysters and Clark's was exactly what we were…read morelooking for, right in the heart of Montecito. The whole place honestly reminded me of a little piece of Greece. So cute, coastal and just a great vibe. We tried the Oysters Rockefeller, lobster roll, fresh oysters and of course a burger. Everything was SO good and the seafood was incredibly fresh. I had the Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc from France which was amazing, and their rosé did not disappoint either. The boys ordered the blueberry lemonade, fresh squeezed lemonade with blueberry on top, and loved it. Also...the sourdough! Really, really good. It comes room temperature, so we asked them to toast it for us and that made it even better. Creamy butter, radish and Celtic salt on the side. So simple but so good. The decor is super posh without feeling stuffy and I loved the whole vibe. Great food, great service, beautiful setting and somewhere we could all enjoy together. Definitely coming back. Clark's did not disappoint. Until next time!

    Adorable building with lots of character and old fashion beach side cottage vibes…read more We sat and the bar and did an OYSTER FLIGHT to try one of each kind which was at least 10 different EAST and WEST coast options !! My personal favorite thing was the complementary SOURDOUGH and butter which seemed freshly baked!! Handcrafted cocktails looked amazing with fancy garnishes but we did happy hour $10 wine which was light and drinkable as paired well with the oysters. The bar tender was very helpful and made the experience more enjoyable.
