Reviews for Holdren's Steaks & Seafood in Santa Barbara, CA
Best steak I’ve had in Santa Barbara (and one of the best I’ve had ever!). Being from steak-capital Chicago, I have pretty... high steak standards. I was quite disappointed with Chuck’s (locals say it’s the best) and Lucky’s is good but overpricedfor quality. Holdren’s is delicious, cooked correctly, and the cowboy cut is just mouth-watering. Best yet - all steaks comewith soup or salad plus a side. This is so rare for a high end steak house! Read more
My husband and I went here for put wedding anniversary. He got the New York strip and I got the seafood linguine. His steak was... great! But my food was very bland and sour the waitress came by and saw I didn’t eat much of it and told us she would take itoff the bill. They were all super awesome and sweet Read more
Kinda dark inside. Ordered a Rib Eye well done and it came out on the rare side so had to send it back. Had to ask for table... bread. My wife ordered a seafood dish that needed a spoon and we had to ask for one. Steak tasted good though. Niceatmosphere. Read more

Super good service and food. It is in the very popular State street with lots of other busy restaurants nearby. Specifically... recommended the full rack of lamb. You will get 8 chops of lambs, one salad or soup, and one another side. Another recommendeddish is the sea bass. Read more
Easily the best meal I've had dining out in months. Our server Melissa was so tentative, we never had to ask her for a thing.... The food was absolutely incredible. Everything was so flavorful and the steak was perfectly tender. We don't often get to dineout so I am glad we went here! Read more
We had a birthday dinner for our daughter here. Food was delicious and our steaks were cooked perfectly medium rare and rare... plus. Don’t recall any vegetarian entrees, but there were some appetizers, sides and salads that amounted to a good meal forone of our vegetarian guests. Service is quick without feeling rushed. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the food theyserve. Cocktails were quite good, strong and very tasty. Highly recommend coming here. We’ll definitely be back. Read more
