“Keep it simple: use the freshest ingredients available and put them together in such a way that the flavors, colors and textures combine to bring out the best in each other.”
- Chef Bradley Ogden

That philosophy isn’t just a nice idea at Root 246– it’s a way of life. With Chef Ogden and Executive Chef Johnny Church at the helm, each item on the menu is crafted using only the finest, freshest ingredients available on the market at that moment.

Root 246’s prime location in Santa Barbara County along the Central Coast of California gives the restaurant unrivaled access to some of the freshest and most delicious produce, meat, poultry, and fish in the nation.

And if you need more convincing, ask for a tour of our kitchen. You’ll see that the only freezer there is for ice cream.
