I’ve been wanting to go to visit the RH Firehouse in Montecito since they opened but it’s a 2-hour drive and I kept putting it off. I finally went and am very glad I did! It manages to be both elegant and casual. I was very comfortable. The menu was interesting and the food was very good. The best part was the waitstaff. They were so professional and welcoming. Our waiter, Blake, made our visit special. He was very knowledgeable about the food and was happy to share what he knew. He made me feel like one of his regulars. I highly recommend RH Firehouse and also highly recommend calling ahead so you can arrange to be seated at one of Blake’s tables.

I would like to provide some impute on "Blake Ayub"
Blake provides truly exceptional service and is an incredible ambassador for this restaurant. Blake is attentive, welcoming, knowledgeable, and consistently goes above and beyond to make my wife and myself feel valued. I have never encountered an employee who promotes a restaurant with more genuine enthusiasm and pride. Blake’s outstanding service made the entire experience memorable and is a major reason I would gladly return and recommend this restaurant to others. Any restaurant would be fortunate to have an employee like Blake!

I have been to several RH’s and the food is always good, albeit a somewhat limited menu. Fried artichokes are the bomb, green salad was very good too, and lobster roll was above average. This location’s ambiance is not nearly as good as others (NY, Chicago or Napa for example). The service was not great despite the restaurant being near empty. I had to flag the server down for another glass of wine and he never checked on us. But the most irksome is the fine print on the menu, a 4% service charge on my bill. For what? Just raise prices. Also, they charge a 20% service charge on parties of 6 or more. They state this is not a built-in tip but an actual up-charge. Again, for what? Does it take more resources to serve a table of 6 vs a 4 top and a 2 top? Probably won’t go back to this location, certainly not with 6 people.
Food was great and the atmosphere is delightful. Most of all, the service was unassuming and warm. Ask for Clinton. He’s amazing! And tip him well. He deserves it. Thank you for a lovely time.

We had an incredible experience at RH Firehouse Grill in Montecito! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was absolutely stunning—beautifully designed, elegant, and relaxing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with every dish prepared to perfection. The service was exceptional: attentive, friendly, and professional without ever feeling rushed.
Must go restaurant!!!
