Everyone enjoyed brunch. Sons had the pancake special. Wife had the mash substituted sausage for ground beef. And I had tuna melt with grilled onions. Next time we are in Santa Barbara we will return

They gave my burritos away. Then said they couldn't make them or do anything to fix the problem they created. F**k them and their shit service (I'm talking about the brunette lady, you know the one who sucks the life out of you because she hates her job). Go to Litos for good service and amazing burritos

A real hole in the walll taco spot., it shared its property with some batting cages.. All their food is delicious, you can't go wrong with the triple play, 3 tacos any style $10. Quick n friendly service. Wife got poke taco.. loved it so much ordered another. I tried, asada, pollo, Thai, tacos. Delicious. Chips come with every order. Their house salsa is spicy and delicious. Also got ceviche.. delicious. A few beers there. The have extensive menu, burgers, salads, out door seating. Place is clean. Friendly staff. Quick service..Can't wait to go back!

We've been coming here for almost 40yrs. Although the food is excellent, the portions are 1/2 what they used to be. They used to give you 3 large slices of Carne Asada with the dinner. Now it's barely one. (see photo). We will come back but won't expect to be stuffed or have to go boxes any more.

Sooooo.... We had high hopes for this spot. Here on Saturday wanting a good Bloody Mary and brunch food. The signature Bloody Mary is trash. They tried dressing it up with shrimp and a slice of bacon, but the flavor of the drink itself is LACKING. Total bummer. The lobster Mac n cheese was literally soup! The flavor was bland and the sauce was SO watery. They have the audacity to charge $24.95 for that garbage. Unbelievable!! Lastly, the cured salmon plate was yet another let down. The dill cream was decent, but the entire entree was beyond basic with zero flavor. The capers didn't even help and it isn't served with red onion, which it desperately needed. This entire meal, including our drinks, were a waste of money. Disappointing.

Recommended to us for lunch today and we realize that they were busy , but we sat for 20 minutes and obviously no one told them we were seated. We finally got a waiter and waited another 20 minutes for one drink. We asked for clams and they were out. Just not our day to eat here. So we tried for a second time to eat at Brophy bros, except in Ventura. It was an hour wait, no problem we sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine. We got a great seat facing the water we ordered a wine and vodka cranberry which came quickly and they were delicious. I ordered a bowl of clam chowder and my husband ordered shrimp and fries. The clam chowder was delicious and the biggest bowl I have ever had. The shrimp and fries, no picture, because they gave my husband's lunch to the table beside us. It was a good thing that the person didn't have a shrimp allergy. We flagged down our server and asked where the rest of our lunch was and he explained it was given to the table next to us. I asked for a second spoon so I didn't have to wait to eat until my husband got his food and we both loved the chowder. We were not going to complain, but we watched the manager go to the table beside us and apologize for the wrong order. Really because we are still waiting for my husband's lunch that she was eating. We asked for our check and my husband told our waiter he was not happy. The manager came over and explained he didn't know we were waiting awhile for the shrimp. Okay, no problem though he didn't offer anything to make up for it. He brought our check 94.00! Excuse me wrong check lol Finally he brought the correct check and removed the drinks. It really was good food, and I chalked the experience up to inexperienced staff. I don't want to feel like I am complaining constantly when I go out to eat. It takes the fun out of it.

Somehow Yelp review on Mandarin Palace was not super, but I was in he mood for Chinese food, so we went. Very much impressed, by their Chinese menu, the one even without any English translation. This is usually a good sign that they serve authentic Chinese dishes. We tried dry cooked string bean(?????), a very basic dish in Chinese restaurants, and theirs is one of the best we've ever had, with the fine balance of different spices and texture. Also tried Japanese style tofu in Szechuan sauce (??????). The soft silky tofu gently fried and then covered by the spicy sauce is absolutely delicious! The third dish we had was stir fry sliced noodle (????). It's kind of average but definitely authentic. We're so glad we stopped by! Will come again on our way home!

My go to Indian food place in Goleta for sure. I always get the chicken tikka masala and it is SO good. I will say, the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the chicken does tend to be pretty dry. I've only ever gotten take out so my guess is that it has something to do with the warming plates they use, but honestly the flavor of the sauce is so good that I don't mind the dryness that much. The garlic naan is so delicious too. The prices are pretty high, but I always get two meals out of one order of the tikka masala. Over all, this place is quite good and I find myself craving it often.

So many health code violations... workers aren't wearing gloves and not wearing masks. The man is touching the raw meat with his hands and then continues to make the bagels with no gloves on. He doesn't wash his hands in between either

I was really excited to try this place for my after birthday brunch. They were pretty busy but they set up a temporary bar outside with mimosas, Bloody Mary's, redbull vodkas and such. It's a beautiful location but the parking is kind of a pain. Anyway, everyone loved their drink and the service was great... until we sat down at the table. We waited over 40 minutes for our food, tables came and went before us. We were only a party of four so it's not like we overwhelmed them with orders. No body checked on us or apologized for the wait in anyway. When we finally got our servers attention, he didn't even acknowledge the amount of time it had been, just said he'd check the kitchen. About 10-15 minutes later, out comes our food with no apology or explanation.... My friend and I both ordered the "Chads huevos rancheros" it sounded amazing and I like a bit of spice. However, when they finally came and my friend started in hers first, she almost gagged. There were sooooooo many tiny cut up jalapeños! She is really used to spice, she even ordered an extra spicy Bloody Mary; but this was too much. She was starving after waiting so long so she tried to pick most of them out so she could continue to eat it but she was literally sweating halfway through. I was forewarned so I was careful to remove the jalapeños from the first bite that I wanted to take. It STILL burned the crap out of my mouth so I stopped. My husband did the same thing, to make sure it wasn't just my friend and I, and he told me to send it back. I hate being that person so when we were finally able to get our server's attention again (the rest of my party had already finished their meals, mind you) I politely explained to the guy that I wasn't able to consume the dish because it was simply way too spicy, even the bite I scraped off the jalapeños still had the juice and I couldn't eat anymore. He "sort of?" apologized and asked if I wanted more water... then set the bill on the table and started to turn around....?!? I was so shocked I was speechless. My husband and our friend were like "wait what? You're not going to take it off the bill or offer her anything else? Really?" And the guy proceeded to argue with my husband about how the menu says the item comes with jalapeño! I've never had a server behave like that. When we brought up the fact that we ALSO saw 6 tables of the same party size come and go while we waited over 40 minutes and nobody acknowledged it. He eventually said he'd talk to his boss. He came back and started with this "I was able to take 50% off your meal because it was eaten" I just about lost it and decided to excuse myself and let my husband deal with it. My husband was trying to question that and tell him we literally took two bites... the server interrupted him before I could get up and out, and the dude THEN decided to say "if you would let me finish, I was just about to say that we took 20% off the entire bill for the wait." I left. The server was completely unprofessional, unpleasant and doesn't belong in the restaurant/service industry with that attitude. The outcome of the situation was good being that, whoever he talked to adjusted our check accordingly but that server was terrible and the sheer amount of tiny cut up jalapeños was laughable. Here's a picture of the beautiful presentation, one of the jalapeños and the one after our total of two bites that he said "was eaten"

Since visiting Carpinteria, have always noticed how busy it is at Teddy's By The Sea. The food here is amazing (I truly enjoyed the Shrimp, Chorizo and Grits. My wife enjoyed the cedar plank salmon and our daughter loved her fried chicken sandwich. Dog friendly too so Tater Tot (our Corgi) enjoyed being with us. The service was terrific! Strongly recommend eating here when in Carpinteria or visiting nearby!

I never write reviews but after leaving this restaurant, I was so depressed. The food isn't great and it's definitely too pricey for the quality. If you want Asian food, go to another town. Or just eat a different cuisine. (We got chicken fried rice and chicken hot pot).

We tried to go to a recommendation restaurant, but the service was terrible waited 20 minutes to be waited on, 20 minutes for one drink and the 2 things we tried to order they were out of. We ended up here and we were blown away by the fish tacos! They are delicious! The staff was super friendly. The truffle fries were delicious too. I had a key lime martini delicious, but not much alcohol. My husband had a vodka tonic which was perfect. We received our drinks so fast I thought they read ou mind as we entered ! Delicious food

Oye my fiance and I went here today for the first and last time. I felt bad for the girls trying to run the dinner rush because they were so overwhelmed. There was only two people in front. We ordered two bento boxes and edamame. We got the boxes fast but my fiances was wrong. The girl took it back without giving me any utensils. We finally got my utensils and his food and she walked away without giving him utensils. We also purchased edamame, reminded the girl and still never got it. (We did get a refund for that). But while I was waiting for 10 minutes for the refund, 1 person came up to say 3 things were missing for their order and another woman came up saying her teriyaki was cold. There was also a ridiculous amount of togo orders that they were super behind on. The manager/ owner needs to pay more people to work. I dont know if someone just called out or they are extremely under staffed but be careful coming here on a rush.

Sorely disappointed after reading all the raving reviews. It's a sushi take-out counter kind of place with fine dining prices but not fine dining food quality. It was also really slow -- took us like 30 minutes to get our food. The miso soup was cold when we got it and not a good flavor. I actually threw it away and I never do that with miso. All of the sushi rolls were mediocre at best. Thought about getting a sake but it was like close to $20. We got 3 rolls and a miso and that was over $50. Place is a huge rip and none of the quality you'd expect with these prices. If it wasn't for the high prices, I'd give it a 3 star because it is just whatever blah kind of place but taking into account value, it's definitely a below average place.

Super interesting place. I think in large part you are paying for the interesting ambiance. Our dinner was pretty good though and definitely a unique experience. Service was good and I was able to find veggie options. A little pricey but I've never had anything like it. I enjoyed the grilled portobello ratatouille.

Holy smokes, this place is seriously good. My wife and I split the Hot Chicken Club and the Baby Beets salad. I love a good sandwich and the Hot Chicken Club hit the spot. I'm looking forward to going back soon to try the California Philly. Great addition for Carpinteria!

Excellent experience! The duck confit and the beef cheeks were absolutely stunning. We ended up with some profiteroles that capped a great evening at this restaurant. I would highly recommend it!

Julia Child's favorite place to eat in her latter years, who knew??? I didn't, until I found time to do some research while waiting in line for 30 mins and another 15 mins waiting for our food to be made fresh to order. The homemade tortillas are the seller and super reasonable pricing for Santa Barbara. Good find if you love Julia Childs (and I do) for pure historical icon and nostalgia. Just be prepared to wait in line for quite sometime but really great for iconic Taquerias!

The food here is just immaculate! Everytime I go and order what I always get, they never disappoint! I most of the time add something into whatever I get and they always kill it! Taco dog with hot Cheetos crumbs unreal! With tater tots! And finish off the meal with deep fried Oreos or churro Oreo bites! Just unreal!

Bro. I have quite literally never had food this bad. I kid you not I had a more enjoyable time hating on every aspect of this place then eating it. The hummus was probably grocery store hummus and the lettuce tasted like it wasn't washed. How in gods name do you mess up lettuce. And the rice was somehow under cooked. They actually served me raw rice. On top of everything The hookah is actual dog water. Save your will to live and don't ever step foot in this place. The girls working the bar were really nice so I'm not gonna off myself.

we had ali as our server and she only came to our table once. i have never been ignored this much. i usually am so chill about it and i understand it's the weekend but she was so inattentive and absent the whole time we were there. this lovely girl asia helped us out at the bar at wine therapy/unbearable afterwards and she was 10x more attentive which speaks volumes since she's at a bar. thank you asia for the great service!

The first time we were not satisfied with the food to the point where we didn't want to take left overs home. We ate maybe 1/3 of the jambalaya and a pasta with steak dish. The flavor was overwhelming, and the musicians were just blasting in our ears. The server was okay, had to wait a while for our dessert, which was just okay too.

Complaints from everyone in our party about their food but the biggest problem was that the $40 fish of the day came with 2 bite sized pieces of fish, some sauce with a couple slices of overcooked onions/red peppers and that's it. Yes it was tasty but there was no rice or potatoes, broccoli or anything else on the plate. Other dishes had something more than just the piece of meat. For that price for two mini fish pieces I'd expect exceptionally impeccable service (not that good otherwise we would have been warned to order some carbs with the meal). And the fish was medium temperature, not hot. All but one person at the table was served and they waited a few minutes for their dish while we awkwardly ate since we didn't want our food to get colder. Chef came out to explain that wait staff and kitchen staff were not fully trained due to COVID staffing issues so we gave it a pass but we could have gone to Montecito for a nicer experience, more food and professional service at the same price. If you like meaty foods, it's a place to try. Menu was beef cheeks, pork belly, duck, antelope and one fish and one veggie dish. Bathroom arrangements had a line of people next to the bar since there was one tiny unisex toilet for the entire place. Sorry but we will only come back after exhausting all other options in town.

We were looking for some Asian/Thai food and this place was perfect. I had the hangover noodles with Tofu, and it seemed to hit the spot. The service was quite fast and we also had a nice spot outside to enjoy the food. A great place.

Come early leave happy. Second time trying Cajun kitchen but first time at this location. The service is great all waiters and staff are very friendly. The food is even better. Quick service and delicious meals, savory OR sweet. I recommend the crab cake Benedict. Could be some of the best crab cakes I've ever had and full of real crab. The hollandaise is not overly tangy and is just the right consistency. Belgian waffle also was heavenly. Beware though!...of the wait that quickly develops outside. If you come before 8:30am on a weekend you should get right in. Thank you Cajun Kitchen for delivering on breakfast happiness! Look forward to exploring more of the menu next time.

We had a good experience. They accommodated our party of 8 easily on the patio with short notice. I think I think it was a good basic bar and grill. Nothing I tried was spectacular but the service was good and it's a comfortable place to spend a meal with family and friends. I'll be back at some point.

I attended UCSB years ago for one year and NEVER went to freebirds. Took a trip down memory lane with some old college roommates and decided to finally try Freebirds... YUM!!! So there's a line almost like always but it moves fast! I must have waited a total number of like 6 minutes standing but it moved. Workers are fast and listen to your orders with precision so that's always good!! I ordered carne asada nachos with cheese and sour cream and that was it. Also ordered an horchata. Def a place to try! Def a place to come and eat

I really want to love this place. So far I like it okay and I'm coming back one more time at least. Actually the first time I got the Banh Mi sandwich and it was pretty good. So that might be set my time back for any time. This most recent time I really wanted to try the shakshuka. I just found a really good but it was so disappointing. Maybe that's what it is but it tasted pretty much like a marinara sauce with supposed to eggs. And the bread was just some sandwich roll. Nothing like in the menu pic. The Chicken Alfredo pizza was pretty bland but luckily I packed along some hot sauce and ended up scooping the shakshuka on top to make it much better. Since going last I've been toldbby others that the Pho bowls are really good. I'll be back to try that and update and hopefully move more toward really liking this place.

We were a group of 4 college mates that gathered here for dinner. We did not have a reservation, so they made us wait outside for nearly 25 minutes. They only have tables inside. The food is pricey, but quality seems to be good. We had grilled paneer and Baingan Bhartha with garlic naan and it was great. We found mostly non-Indian clents seated in the restaurant, which to me is a good sign. The food here seems to appeal to all of them. Give it a try if you want to taste Indian food, especially for the first time.

Chaotic experience. The first (and probably last) time trying this location. I ordered carry out from here last night as a means to use a gift card I'd been holding onto. The online ordering process was very easy and straightforward. The site offers a live tracker which will list exactly what stage your order is at in their kitchen. Nothing like good transparency. I drove over to the location within the 10 minute window my order was to be picked up. I noticed that the tracker hadn't updated and can contest that this was accurate. When I walked in, there was an awkward bickering between two employees. An employee with dreadlocks was yelling and cussing at another employee which made for a pretty awkward experience. All the while, the phone was ringing off the hook. There were four others who entered after me, all of whom had been waiting on hold for 30+ minutes or had an incorrect order delivered. There were a few employees busily preparing food, but the dreadlocked, dramatic staff member was just standing around arguing. He eventually left the room and then came back and just stood there while everyone else was working away. My food was finally ready over an hour past the 10 minute window I was instructed to pick it up. Luckily, the kitchen here is completely transparent so I could see as my order made its way to the screen and watched as it was being prepared on the spot. When my order was ready, the employee whom had assisted me apologized and allowed me to pick a free soft drink from their beverage cooler. The food itself was good, but the overall chaos between the employees was ridiculous. Next time, I'll cancel my order and walk three doors down to either Petrini's or Giovanni's.

"Walk in" (without a reservation) is nearly impossible so make a reservation! The seafood paella was great (server will tell you 30 min to make) which is accurate according to my phone timer. Worth the wait and large enough to share in my opinion

Rooftop bistro and Bar with great Mountain View in search of decent management. We stopped in to attend a gathering for a co workers retirement. The rooftop is spacious with a couple fireplaces and some sofas. It was a great place to relax, have a drink and still be able to move around and visit. Drinks were ok and food was average for the prices. Erin our server was efficient, friendly and did a fabulous job waiting on us. However, that is where we have to end our compliments. I could not give more than one star due to the management of this Bistro. Victor Cortez approached us with an attitude from the minute we arrived and although I understand businesses need some policies let's listen to our customer base and evaluate situations. We did have reservations for a large group. We could not split the bill in anyway, it all had to be tallied together and paid with one credit card. This makes things very difficult with a large number of coworkers and people arriving at different times. Our coworker also brought a retirement cake and was informed by Victor that (we don't do cakes) and if you expect to have that cake it will be an extra charge of $4 a person. Victor also told one of our party they should leave immediately when they tried to approach him to discuss the situation. All of us at this gathering work in the service industry and have dealt with many customers. We were all appalled at the lack of effective management and his lack of management training. Because of this I cannot recommend this place for any party over two and not sure if anyone should come back here. What I discovered here: although a great rooftop with an awesome Mountain View it turns out to be just another mediocre poorly managed hotel bar.

Say yes every time to eating at Sama , you will never be disappointed. A great varied menu has something for everyone. Everything arrives small plates immediately when ready out of the kitchen. This atmosphere makes it a great experience for group sharing. Staff waiting on us were fabulous, listening and explaining everything on the menu and answering all our questions. We had a wonderful time enjoying our food, visiting and relaxing. This place is great for couples, groups and families but be sure to make a reservation as they can be very busy.

What a gem of a find. My wife and I came up for a friends b day and we got into town early so we decided to get lunch and the 1st place we ran into was The Cruisery and thank god we did. This Beer brewer with an amazing food program hit the spot. From the baked Brie to the shrimp po boy the food was presented great and tasted just as good. Now the beers I loved especially since they are the oldest brewer in the area the decor feels warm and inviting and between the two beers I had their IPA and Hazy I think I found my new go to beers. The owner Hakan was so nice and was engaged and proud of his place and rightfully so. I can't Wait to come back and do a full beer Review with the rest of "The beer dads show" crew.

Went for Brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Food was delicious. We had Norwegian Benedict, egg white farmers omelette and bagel with salmon. It is busy so you wait in line and have to jockey for a table but definitely worth it. We also ordered a pumpkin scone and they gave us an apple scone. They melted in our mouths!

Got the tbone steak as the special and thought it was ok. Not too much flavor in the steak for some reasons. I also got the scalloped potatoes as an upgrade and it was just ok as well. This place gets such rave reviews but everything was just ok and I wasn't astounded. I'll pro baky try another steak place next time.

Seriously impressed! We are visiting SB for the weekend and happily stumbled upon Jeannine's. Yesterday (Saturday) morning we grabbed some brunch and it was all 10/10. Huevos Rancheros w/ Bacon (VERY YUM!) Florentine Benedict (yum!) Arnold Palmer (so yum!) Mango Iced Tea (yummm!) It was so good that we came back today (Sunday) and it was all just as amazing!! All of the servers are so friendly. Megan helped us out yesterday and she was so friendly and personable. Ervin helped us today and he was awesome as well!

Great atmosphere. It is a fusion type of food. Better to have make reservation. We just stopped by without reservation on the way back home to norcal and didn't get proper dining table. We enjoyed our meal. Pricewise it a bit up from regular japanese sushi restaurant.

Took nearly an hour for bagel sandwiches. Then they didn't even make one of them. Offered no refund for inconvenience. Food was just so so. Mixed up the coffee orders too.

I've been coming to this great spot for a few years and decided to finally put a review thanks to a Great experience I had recently: Patrick helped me out on the phone and in-person. He went above and beyond and reassured me everything was okay and helped me with some complications that came up with my order by using the mobile app. Had I known Islands restaurant had a mobile app, I would've used it to build up my points for a while already, since any time I pass through Santa Barbara, I make sure to stop by here every time for a great meal made the way You want it. My go-to is the Kilauea burger (with the veggie patty) and a cool Breeze smoothie...and maybe some wings!

Great spot to start your day. I enjoyed my Earth Wind & Fire Bagel, which is a breakfast bagel with eggs and chorizo. This will fill your belly, it's BIG. The cost was about $8.50, the place is busy so your order could take between 10-15 minutes. PRO TIP, you can call your order in. You can either eat in their little outside patio area, or there is a quaint park right outside.

My family loves sushi so we always seek out what appears to be a good sushi place. Pro tip, make reservations. This was our first time here and we loved it! The atmosphere was nice and the patio seating was perfect, plenty warm sitting under the ceiling heaters. We had a good variety of food and generally thought everything was exceptional. Items that we really liked included: Crazy Rich Asiana roll, Way of the Dragon roll, Firecracker Shrimp, Garlic Noodles w/mushrooms' and the short ribs. Service from Sarah G was on point, thanks. Oku is a great place for fresh sushi and unique rolls, plus it's a fun social scene. I had to deduct one star for the lack of bathroom cleanliness. Even if it gets busy, someone needs to keep an eye on the bathroom with regularity (see picture).

Time to do yet another scathing (but accurate review). So Farmer ? Boy has this (new) feature where you can use an iPad at their entrance to check in. So I did the whole check-in situation and patiently waited. The wait time was about accurate, I have to say. It's the experience once we were seated that was less than enjoyable. First of all (and I know the staff had little to no control over it). In the corner table, there were about 10 super loudly obnoxious kids talking so loud that I could barely keep my ears from exploding. 2 parents showed up about 30 minutes later to hush them up. The damage was done. Things were too loud and went on for too long. The waiting for the food was what took really long (over 30 minutes to get our meal). I overheard the server blaming on something happening in the kitchen but I didn't buy it . Overall, the experience was nothing to write home about but it was to write a Yelp review about. I'm giving it 3 stars overall experience. I would give 2.5 stars if I could. Yelp does not allow 1/2 star ratings. Disclaimer: I am satisfied with the help of the server and the man refilling our coffee and water. They were very helpful and deserve kudos from the restaurant owners and a raise.

What a friendly morning breakfast spot chock full of locals with their families. Seating is available both inside and out. My bacon avocado cheese omelet was very good. The fresh mellon berry cup I asked for on the side was so full of fresh fruit flavor. The toasted sour dough bread was wonderfully crusty and lightly buttered, however it came to me cold. My companion asked for the salsa verde with his meal. Be careful. It's very picante! Apple Pay is taken. I used the restroom and found the toilet actively leaking. Apparently, it's an ongoing issue. All in all, there were a few issues, but no deal breakers here. Enjoy!

Came here for parents weekend while visiting my daughter and her roommates at UCSB. I liked the setting, it's a quaint Italian restaurant with a nice simple/elegant décor. I suggest making reservations as this place is popular and gets crowded. Your experience will start with olive oil and bread which was very good. In addition, their wine selection was very satisfying, although I did not partake. I got the duck ravioli, which had a super rich sauce, I found the flavor to be really fantastic, totally happy with my selection. Our table of 9 all were very satisfied with their food decisions based on their smiles and empty plates. I found the service to be just OKAY. The food pacing was off, I suspect they forgot someone in our group as one of the plates came out noticeably late. Aside from that snafu, I sat with an empty water glass for long spells and had to ask for more on a few occasions. The overall experience was good, if you are looking for a nice Italian meal out, Olio E Limone Ristorante will surly satisfy.

This is just what I needed on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. It's a bit hidden from IV's main drag but affords a decently-sized private parking lot. The place has a tropical décor theme and reminded me a lot of the old Kahuna Grill. There's ample table seating both in and out. Order, pay, and your number is called. They also have what looks like a stage inside so I gather this place has a night scene. I learned that this place makes their flatbread buns on the spot, after your order is placed. What a cool concept. I ordered the Malibu Chicken Sando grilled with BBQ sauce and a Sierra Nevada hazy Little Thing IPA. The beer was very good, and the sando was just heavenly with a side of fries. Perfectly seasoned with fresh ingredients and the aforementioned bun, it was all delicious. My wife got the same sandwich but deep fried - which was also delicious in a deep fried way. I checked in on Yelp, after ordering, and was awarded a 15% off coupon - check in before ordering, if not, this place is definitely worth visiting again to take advantage of the Yelp deal.

My daughters came here for a liquid lunch, they reported back that they Absolutely loved Blenders in the Grass! Service was quick and friendly, smoothies were done in less than a few minutes. They offer a free supplement which is nice. Per my 'local' daughter, the smoothies are always consistent, supper smooth, and not too sweet. FYI, the large is twice as large as the regular and its a MUCH better deal than Jamba Juice.

Santa Barbara Public Market is growing and filled with various food/beverage options. I'm a big fan of having multiple businesses under one roof, having gone to school in Boston I always enjoyed my visits to the famous Faneuil Hall Marketplace. This is far from that, but the feel is there. Big plus,  you can bring food from anywhere in the market and sit at The Garden. The Garden is a big bar area at the front entrance, relative to the hall, with various beers and wines. They also have a few televisions so it's a good spot to congregate and eat/consume. it's an easy spot to grab some grub and a beer, totally casual. There is a bit of a premium on the beer.

I had high hopes for Santa Barbra Public Market. Having been to many of the major food halls I've seen how great this concept can be. My initial impressions is that it's a cool place to visit.  There are the things you come to expect from a food hall like: a bar, ice cream place, coffee and other eateries.   Walking around there were only a few places that I would like to try.  There was a ramen place I believe that was really popular, a Mexican food place and ice cream place seem to be the most popular, my wife and daughter tried the ice cream and said it was really good. My only con was that there were so few options to try.  We only ended up trying the ice cream place and I got a beer at The Garden.  Mind you, we came here AFTER going out to dinner. I believe this food hall is relatively new, so it may take some time before they get additional unique tenants, so for now I see the potential. I look forward to seeing this place evolve.

This is some of the best customer service and food you can get! I went for the first time today and I can't remember the last time I've been to such a busy restaurant and DIDN'T feel rushed or like an inconvenience in any way. They ran out of a special I had ordered but were incredibly accommodating to get me something else, and even gave us a complimentary dessert! Every staff member was so friendly, and the food was amazing. So fresh and the pastries are delightful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice brunch in SB!!

I was staying next door so I stopped in to appreciate the vibe and what the place had going on. I did not bowl, but did like the set-up and can see where this would be a good time. I also took a quick walk through their arcade which was lame. What I did do was test their beer selection, and it was on point. I watched the Saturday college football games on all the big screens and enjoyed the music while I drank my beer. I can see where this place would be fun with a big group.

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in town. Will eat there every chance I get and I always order the same thing because I can't bear not to! It's the ravioli with spinach and ricotta in a brown butter sage sauce. Melts in your mouth. The flavors and textures are perfect. Great atmosphere and not too loud. Also had the tiramisu as it was my birthday. Need I say more? What a wonderful experience and the service was perfect!

I live one block from this restaurant and have only eaten there one time. That should tell you enough. It's been a few years so I guess it's time for me to give them a second opportunity but usually when the service is really bad and the food is not spectacular especially in contrast to the high prices I don't give them second chances in Santa Barbara where there's so many other wonderful experiences to have. I will update us after I try it again but it may be a while

I haven't been here since Covid but I have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed with the atmosphere or with the service or with the food. They used to have entertainment I'm not sure about now. I really enjoyed their hummus and pita bread and other lame dishes. I would definitely go back and it's a wonderful place to have a celebration. Very festive

Kind of disappointed. We are locals and have been here before. It's overpriced (even for Santa Barbara) and service is slow, food is mediocre. Took us forever to even get an order in and a lot of the egg dishes were undercooked with runny white and such small portions. No music or ambiance this time around. I'm a little embarrassed I brought my out of town friends here. I expect way more at these prices and I'm no stranger to paying over 20 dollars for avocado toast in this town. Jeanines down the street is better

I didn't know that we had a Spanish restaurant in town but now that I have discovered this place it is my new top place to go for a drink and boquitas, tapas, And literally the best salad I have ever eaten in my life! And I'm not a big salad either either. Meat and potatoes girl. But I would eat the salad every day if I could. I don't know what these people put in their food but everything that you eat is an epicurean delight and your mouth will be celebrating for days! For my birthday I asked for gift cards to this place as it is a little pricey for me as a senior but it is my go to if anyone asked me where I want to go it will always be here! My brother is a gourmet from back east and he was impressed with their food. That says a lot as he is very particular. He told our brother that it was gourmet level. Again it is pricey so be prepared but he will not be sorry with anything that you. We also shared Patatas Bravas roots farm marble potatoes, brava sauce, hot pimentón emulsion, roasted garlic aioli, parsley. All I can say is "oh my gosh!" Every bite was a discovery of new flavors and textures he didn't think potatoes were capable of.

Visited this interesting little restaurant in the mountains above Santa Barbara for dinner. This tavern was once used as a stage coach stop and all the structures on the property have some history which can be found on the menu. Wish we had arrived earlier so we could have had a walk around the grounds. I like buildings that have the feel of history in them as this one does. We were seated at our reservation time (which is required for dinner). We both ordered the ribs which included a side of green beans and potatoes either roasted or garlic mashed. The sauce on ribs was just right, with sweet, tart and slightly Spicy flavor with ample amount of meat on the bone. Green bean freshly sautéed with a little snap to them. I chose the roasted potatoes, husband the garlic mashed, both were good. For desert we shared a Pecan pie which was not too sweet. Service was good and meal came out in a timely manner. We would recommend for a night out.

I have to change my rating unfortunately. There's always an issue at this location lately. We ordered a mobile order the other day, and it took over 20 minutes. This time they're down 1 espresso machine. But of course! If it's not the espresso machine, the oven is broken, they're out of all teas, they're out of espresso all together... The list goes on and on with the mesa location. I miss the staff from last year!!

The location is great. The initial service and sit down took about 30 minutes but was fine. The muffins that they provided as appetizers was a welcome addition. However, we order a simple breakfast for a family of four and it took over an hour to get to us. Food was good would have rated better if the wait for food was not as long. Try again?

This place is not bad. I got the breakfast burrito and it was a nice size and tasty! The main thing for me is their salsa! Not spicy at all it's basically just tomatoes. If salsa is something big to you you won't be satisfied in that area.

We came to this restaurant today because of the historical value and ended up have a fabulous lunch!! The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is very nice and attentive. The food? Well it was flipping AMAZING!! We both had the Timber Burger and it didn't disappoint. If you are in the area you must stop in. Sorry no picture - I ate my scrumptious food before I could take a pic.

Good place but hours are not correct. They are closed when they say they're open. Very excited about coming here today, but they were not open and the men behind the counter stated they were on break. Disappointing and unreliable.

My wife and I are from Texas so we used to tex mex. That has a lot of seasoning. FLAVOR! I was very underwhelmed. The selection is very limited ... all they have is tacos. And the seasonings were not as robust as we would like. We spent $29. We possibly ate for tacos. And the rest...well... The staff was very kind!

This is the worst location. Took 30 minutes for them to make 3 sandwiches and we were the only two people in there. The guy taking our orders name was Gabe. He was extremely rude and even after all that time got our orders wrong. Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

We came in this Sunday morning and it was insanely crowded on state street because the finish line of a marathon was directly in front of the restaurant. It was a bad start because the line was out the door. It took a bit to get to the register to order. After we ordered I had to go to the bathroom but the place was a mess because of all the foot traffic due to the marathon. So I sat donn and waited for my food a little grumpy. The staff was very friendly despite being slammed with a crowd. The food came out pretty quickly and piping hot. I ordered a veganized build your own hash which was very tasty. I sat down in a bad mood but they had me impressed by the end of the meal.

After reading the high scores on Yelp and some of the reviews, we were looking forward to trying Olio e Limone. When we got there we found the room to be old fashioned and charmless and the food to be tasteless and lacking flavor. You know immediately if a restaurant is going to be good or not from the moment they set down the bread basked - and the bread that was delivered to us was coarse and bland. Even the balsamic vinegar lacked flavor. We ordered the caprese salad to start and the buffalo mozzarella and the tomatoes were tasteless and uninteresting. I ordered the chicken saltimbocca and the prosciutto was flavorless as well (likely not true Parma ham) and the pounded chicken was dry - and there was almost no sauce. Hubs had the lamb chops and they were lovely but the red wine reduction sauce had very little flavor and was not the deep, savory veal reduction demi glace sauce that we love with red meats. Daughter ordered the truffle risotto and we were surprised to see a plate arrive of white risotto with asparagus - not the earthy, mushroom-infused dish we were expecting. It was more like a spring vegetable dish - not a truffle risotto. Son ordered the seafood pasta, which I tasted, and was so disappointed in the small bits of drab, tired crab - definitely frozen or canned. Ridiculous for such a well reviewed and pricey restaurant. We found all this to sharply contrast with the glowing 2020 reviews from the local magazines that line the walls of the one and only bathroom in the place - clearly this restaurant is resting on its past laurels and that these previous reviews no longer apply. We're not really sure why our entire experience was so uninspired. Perhaps we had the 2nd string chef? Perhaps it's time for a visit from Chef Ramsay to help this lackluster spot regain some of its past glory by revising the menu and ambiance. But bottom line: it was a very disappointing meal in a dreary room. With SO many exciting and delicious options in the city, there is absolutely NO reason to return.

Great atmosphere, and amazing tri-tip sandwich. I love how Shalhoob is off the main road and is able to create it's own vibe. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for good sandwiches and beer.

The food is very good. It was a little on the pricey side for me. I feel like your just paying for the experience. Good size plates.
