What Brian Coker likes about Dutch Garden:
This is definitely an acquired taste decision. If you have never eaten before I suggest you try it. Beers are good and the tucked away restaurant is very cool. If you have been here before than you know what I'm talking about. I like the food Dutch, German, maybe some other inspiration in the food. This guy has been here for a long time. Also check hours before stopping by. Not always open. View all feedback.

The German cuisine here is excellent. However, it may not be the best choice for families with children. The service was outstanding.

What a gem of a place in Santa Barbara. Limited hours and days so check their schedule. Very authentic cuisine and excellent selection of European beers.
