My Take
Our Take

Silvers Omakase is Lennon Silvers Lee's signature counter, and the framing is deliberate: the menu showcases not just fish but the whole chain of craftspeople behind it — farmers, fishmongers, potters, glassblowers, sake brewers — named and honored as part of the meal.

The Michelin star confirms what the philosophy implies: nothing here is generic, down to the vessel the course arrives on. Santa Barbara had good sushi. It didn't have a thesis about it until this room.

The Spot
Silvers Omakase is Chef Lennon Silvers Lee's signature restaurant, a Japanese tasting menu counter in Downtown Santa Barbara. The kitchen sources through relationships with farmers, fishmongers, and other craftspeople, and the restaurant frames its work as an extension of theirs — treating the meal as a showcase for the people behind the ingredients as much as for the cooking itself.

Michelin selected Silvers Omakase in its 2024 Santa Barbara guide, then awarded it one star in both 2025 and 2026.
