There have a pool table and lounge area to chill out away from noise( live music at the patio) I didn't get to try the food because I was the a little late. But what really got my 100% approval was the service and knowledge about their beer selection because in case you are indecisive on what kind of beer to get, do not worry they got you!

I had the apple pie mood lifter it was perfect for a warm summer day. It tasted like apple pie! And my hubby got a Negroni, which was very good.

After a sweet drink, at a bar nearby, I was seeking something less sweet- thus we headed over to…read moreCutler's for a drink or two. This location is in the heart of the Funk Zone near the pier in Santa Barbara. When we approached the location, we saw that they were only offering drinks outside on the patio- as the temps were ok on Saturday in early September, we felt ok sitting on a small patio on lounge chairs with relaxing music in the background. The patio is in the back of Cutler's that can be entered around the corner (map on the front door of Cutler's shows the directions). The patio is next to other tasting room patios featuring wine and next door to Lark's restaurant. When we visited the tasting room at about 3pm in the afternoon, we were the only individuals there but started to fill up with other small groups. When a large group entered, the waitress said you will need a reservation as she was only wait staff there. Perhaps a sign is needed to notify people, that groups need reservations. The drinks were spot on- the drinks started at 14 dollars to about 16 dollars for cocktails. The tasting room also offers tastings of their products too. The tastings looked small. The cocktails were well poured. I was just disappointed to find out that I could not get a Bloody Mary on a Saturday- only Sundays- the Bloody Mary looked really good. If you are done with wine, and seeking something different, come relax on the patio here if your vibe is a low key environment with solid distillery cocktails.

We had a great time here, where we sat enjoying a tasting for over an hour. There is an outdoor and indoor area, and both were enjoyable. The person at the tasting room today was very friendly, and explained everything in detail. We ordered one mixed tasting and one rose tasting. Both were delicious. The place is very nice, and they even had the Dodgers game on tv. They have an attached small cheese shop, where you can also pick up some snacks to go with your wine. I would most definitely return again in the future.

My husband is a member after we were referred by a friend years ago (almost 10 years ago). The wine is excellent, and the staff is knowledgeable, welcoming, personable and makes you feel right at home. In particular, I'd like to shoutout Brad who is gracious, and provides excellent service and care for us and all patrons. Funny, smart, and shares updates on the winery, the wines, and every time we drive up from LA, makes the experience that much more enjoyable for us. Thank you, Brad. Truly a wonderful tasting room and winery you'll be happy you came to experience (especially the "Chapel View"and "Blanc de Blancs.") From me: We've been coming to Riverbench since our very first trip to Santa Barbara and while the wines brought us in, it's the staff, and more specifically, Brad who keeps us coming back. Brad has been a constant and remains welcoming, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in our experience. He doesn't just pour wine; he truly elevates it and guides us through Riverbench's excellent Chardonnay and outrageous Pinot Noir with insight and enthusiasm that make each visit memorable. Plus he likes my Pommard. What really sets him apart is the connection. He remembers us, tailors the experience, and creates an atmosphere that feels both personal and relaxed. Riverbench makes fantastic wine, but Brad is the reason it feels like a tradition we keep and pass on to others.

It is a great area, and boy does it get busy on the weekends. There are plenty of places to sit both indoors and outdoors. Because we had a reservation, they had reserved a table for us outdoors. Although, we ended up finding a different place inside, which was not a problem for them. We did a wine tasting, and we had one rose and three reds. The choices were great, and we enjoyed them thoroughly. We did end up buying two bottles of the rose, which did waive the tasting for one of us. We were assisted today by Kat, and she was such a pleasure. She explained each of the wines to us, and went above and beyond in helping us with other things as well. A great time, and we would definitely return again in the future.

Maybe Syrah is not their top wine varietal? Space was nice, next to a cheese shop, small but quaint. Maybe a little louder on the music we be nice. Well here was the issue, the staff! There was an older gentleman, he looked like he was in outer space, mumbling his words, seemed confused, shaking, didn't say hardly anything about the wine, just mumbled, poured and walked away. Also, we had to keep reminding him we needed our next pour. There was also a younger (ish) guy there, super awkward, weird eye contact, not very friendly and didn't seem to know much. First time here and a bit put off. We went to 2 other wineries in the area and did not like the wine and much, but the vibe and staff were pleasant and seemed to like their job and know what they were talking about (for the most part) Mixed feelings on this one, need better staff?
