What an incredible addition to the Montecito food scene! Huge menu with many fresh seafood options. Great staff and great service.

The food here is delicious, definitely different from and a cut above traditional Indian restaurants in America. The service was also very attentive. I really appreciate the number of vegan dishes and the fact that everything is clearly marked. My two caveats are that there’s a lot of heat in this food so if you can’t stand that this is not the restaurant for you. Even the mild chutney was hot rather than flavorful. It’s also a noisy set up with little thought given to sound management in the design of the space. The pink themed walls are kind of cute but also slightly nauseating. 

This is the 2nd time I have dined at Arnoldi's since it reopened, and both visits have been fantastic. The food is superb, and the waitstaff very attentive. I loved sitting out back in the garden. The music is from the 30's-50's and perfect for the setting.
