The Greatest Schnitzel I have ever had. Authentic German cuisine!! Large beer selection. I definitely dig the hole in the wall decor, definitely my go-to spot. By the way the reason it's called Dutch gardens is because it was open in 1925. They changed the name during World War II because Germans were kind of frowned during the 1940's in America.

Thought is was amazing food and vibe. Stumbled on it by luck as I was driving through on a road trip. Would definitely make it a stop when going through Santa Barbara. Not located in the touristy part of State Street made it even cooler in my books. A unique dining experience.

The Dutch is such a sweet spot of humanity. Great food, great beers, great staff, excellent vibe and amazing music. The Dutch is always a top choice whenever we go out to eat.

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.

I made a quick stop for lunch on my way to Oxnard. I'm glad I did, the ambiance is adorable, food is pretty good. The place is a lot bigger than it presumed to be.

Great German food. Not very kid friendly. Service was very good

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.
