"Fancy a glass of wine? Or perhaps a bottle but can't commit? Intermezzo serves up local wines on tap, so you can have as much or as little as you want. And the regional, wine country-inspired cuisine is scrumptious, whether you choose to indulge in only an appetizer or an entire meal."
"Upscale and intimate, Intermezzo features temperature-controlled wines on tap and a delightful small menu in a cozy fireplace setting."

"Schedule in some time for a flight of wines at Intermezzo, its selections scrawled in colored chalk above the bar. The wines are local...and served on tap, and the food is meant to be matched with said wines. Think a starter of beef tartare with juniper dust, or ten unique flatbreads (like the Orchard, with peaches, salami, goat cheese, and pepper preserves). Save room for clever desserts like chocolate and chevre doughnuts or warm chocolate-chip cookie pie."
Fodor's Travel
"The small space is designed as a cozy quick stop for small plates, flatbreads, artisan cocktails, and local wines on tap. Dine alfresco on the Anacapa-facing portico or, as fall rolls in, enjoy the warmth of the indoor fireplace."
