Dutch Garden Restaurant Description:
Tucked in a quiet section of Upper State Street, the Dutch Garden is worlds removed from the Santa Barbara most people know. With its old-world ambience and old-guard regulars, it's a far cry from the hip eateries and nightclubs downtown. In spite of the name, Dutch Garden serves German food. Traditional entrées such as pork jaeger schnitzel and beef roulade are robust, of course, and come with a simple salad, fresh bread and a choice of potato salad or potato pancakes. Patrons quaff steins of Spaten and Kostritzer at the narrow lunch counter or gather outside on an overgrown patio. If you have time for a nap after the meal, pair one of the many German beers with the Strammer Max, an open-face ham sandwich topped with a fried egg. While the service is friendly and familiar, dining here seems to take longer than expected.
