El Encanto and Miramar Elevate the Carryout Experience

Bring a taste of Belmond El Encanto home with you. The iconic hideaway in the Santa Barbara Hills offers a new takeout menu available for curbside pick-up from 11 am to 10 pm daily. Roasted butternut squash soup ($18) served with cornbread croutons, a Belgium endive salad ($19) featuring Point Reyes blue cheese, maple duck breast ($52) served with potato gnocchi, Bloomsdale spinach and raspberry gastrique; sweet corn cavatelli pasta ($28) sprinkled with cotija cheese, lime, padrón peppers, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and cilantro and a chocolate ganache ($14) with whipped vanilla mascarpone cream are just a few menu highlights. Each carryout order comes with a signature goodie bag of holiday cookies and chocolate bark.

Rosewood Miramar has unveiled Osteria Caruso’s as well as re-introduced its Miramar-To-Go services and Miramar Food Truck. Osteria Caruso’s features executive chef Massimo Falsini’s favorite recipes from his grandmother’s cookbook and from his time growing up in Italy showcase California’s finest flavors and ingredients. Dishes range from grilled gulf shrimp and risotto to rigatoni ragu (both $22 per plate) and a robust selection of chef’s signature Pinsa Romana, an evolved take on the traditional pizza ($15 to $18). Add seasonal cocktails such as The Monk’s Negroni ($28) or the Merry Old Fashioned ($28) to the mix for a jolly good meal. 

Miramar’s lunch truck offers a Cali Cobb Salad ($24), Crispy Fish Tacos ($18), Hank’s Double Diamond Burger ($28), and Dungeness Crab Fritters ($20), as well as inspired craft cocktails, beer, and wine by the bottle.

Lunch options from Rosewood Miramar Beach’s food truck are available daily from 11 am to 5 pm, walk-up only. Dinner options from Osteria Caruso’s are available Monday to Sunday from 4 pm to 8 pm by calling 805-881-2424.

One seasonal highlight is the Christmas Baskets To-Go, with aperitifs, charcuterie and cheese, salads and seasonal favorites such as herb-crusted rack of lamb and lasagna Bolognese. Dessert includes a butterscotch panna cotta.
