Parking is shared with beach access. We came on a Wednesday morning so plenty of parking. However we can see that it can get busy during a weekend or holiday. Service was great and prompt. We would definitely come again. | 2021-11-10 18:06:40 | Boathouse at Hendry's Beach | 2981 Cliff Dr | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.403257 | -119.743752 | Seafood, Restaurants, Hawaiian, American (New), Breakfast & Brunch |

They sat us and we ordered wine. 15min later a manager came and asked us to leave as we didnt have a res and they needed the table.

Will never come here again. I hope this particular restraunt either trains her on her customer service skills because she will not go far with that attitude or find someone that will run the drive thru and window better to bring customers back. | 2021-11-10 19:00:41 | Jack in the Box | 3747 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.440179 | -119.744172 | Restaurants, Fast Food, Tacos, Breakfast & Brunch, Burgers, Mexican |
FCQr-Dei2uAVzqBxLXqnOw | Ht1OROATWNP9u_KyY_Sn3Q | 4FdsX3MbkcdBRAr1aymF6A | 3 | Just read about your new happy hour hours and prices . your happy hour glass of wine will still be $14-$15 ! that's really high when some of your competitors like the courthouse Tavern has six dollar glasses of wine! maybe you should buy a less expensive lower quality wine and offer just that one for real happy hour prices for six dollars! And only at the bar?? Some of us are still not feeling safe dining /drinking indoors once everybody has their masks off! vaccination efficacies are fading and not everybody has had a booster! locals don't enjoy paying those prices! I think that contributed I to Somerset closing and the subsequent restaurants that have gone in there.
Just a local giving you an honest opinion. Best of Luck to you! | 2021-11-10 21:05:45 | La Paloma Cafe | 702 Anacapa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.42004 | -119.696856 | Chicken Shop, Desserts, Food, Breakfast & Brunch, Barbeque, Mexican, Bars, Nightlife, Cocktail Bars, Restaurants |

After walking along the pier I wanted a nice cold drink and this cute little bakery caught my eye. I am so glad we decided to stop by! I ordered a iced matcha latte with oat milk. The staff was incredibly polite and I was given two complimentary pastries that were absolutely delicious. The matcha they use in the latte is NOT SWEET but I LOVED IT. The young man that helped me selected the perfect pastries since they paired well with the drink. 1000/10 recommend and I will definitely be back | 2021-11-10 21:49:39 | Jeannine’s American Bakery & Restaurant | 1 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.412205 | -119.689592 | Food, Bakeries, Restaurants, Patisserie/Cake Shop, Cafes, Coffee & Tea |

bm4jrKtjTtBVvhr3_QNCeg | 1kdr8S6wJ6hcPWcbzFo2Ew | Qkg16mN-8QR66gjzg6gMyw | 4 | Quick update as I decided to return to Convivo night of after writing the review, craving the pizza ...
We ordered the same flatbreads, however the peach was replaced with persimmon for the season and when we got our Kind Veggie pizza, it had hardly any toppings. The persimmons tasted bland (not quite ripe) and maybe one or two "brussel leaves" promised in the menu, in which case we had to ask for more.
I called upon the manager, and not only did he replace our pizza, he was kind enough to take it off our bill after waiting so long (kind veggie pizza get it? Hah).
So the second time around- definitely less enjoyable. But the attentive Manager in the grand suit at least did his best to make us feel welcome and heard | 2021-11-10 23:04:56 | Convivo Restaurant and Bar | 901 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417321 | -119.672226 | Bars, Mediterranean, Restaurants, Nightlife, Moroccan, Event Planning & Services, Venues & Event Spaces, Italian |

r61Q33FfCQflWCpUyY6D6A | uo3RSQRMyXPCOrB_8CN3ow | Y57sylYCgq2VQJuBCnjPfA | 3 | Came for a dinner and we were lucky to have arrived a bit earlier, because the line never seemed to go away during the dinner service. They have indoor and outdoor patio services and they offer Asian fusion cuisine with a dominant fusion with American and Japanese.
Our server Amanda was very professional and despite running several tables at the same time, followed up with us adequately and handled the busy night very well. Kudos to her professionalism and good work that night.
Ambiance-wise, I liked the outdoor seating more than the indoor as the indoor area was very loud. Despite the cold, there were several heat lamps outside so it wasn't too bad until it reached later in the night.
Food-wise, we ordered a mix of items from their menu. Sushi bar Nigiri - Hon Maguro, Kanpachi, Hotate, Ebi, Tamago, Ankimo, Unagi. Hot items - Saigon wings, XO grilled shrimp, Miso Yuzu fresh wild salmon, and handcrafted gyoza: shrimp and crab w/ ponzu. To me, I thought the food was pretty average. While visually appealing, the food's quality did not amaze me that much.
To start, the gyoza wrapper barely had a textural crunch to it. It was just a soggy wrapper wrapped around a piece of shrimp with crab meat filling. While a nice piece of shrimp and crab meat, the soggy wrapper made the appetizer a bit unappealing. The Saigon wings were nicely sauced and moist, but the exterior crunch was also not as crunchy as one would have wanted. A bit too soggy from the sauce or not deep fried enough. For the XO grilled shrimp, this was quite nice. The noodles used were ramen noodles made in the style of garlic noodles. The seasoning of the noodles and flavors were nicely developed and the shrimps provided were pretty adequate. Not the XO sauce I was expecting, but at least the flavors were interesting to have. For the Miso Yuzu fresh wild salmon, it wasn't bad. The yuzu gravy sauce was critical for the item. The salmon itself was on the plainer side and without the yuzu gravy sauce, it was pretty boring to eat and not as delectable. The salmon was moist and a decent size was provided. For the accompanying mashed potatoes and vegetable sides, they were nicely done and can hold themselves up in the entrée. For the sushi bar items, I think I can avoid most of them in the future, because the quality of the raw items was more average than I would have expected. The kanpachi and hon maguro were brushed with their special sauce on top and hotate had Himalayan sea salt on top which kind of accentuates the food, but due to the lack of freshness/quality, there wasn't as much to accentuate. The Ebi was plain as is, unagi was made as expected, and the ankimo had green onions on top which didn't really cover the strong fishy taste. I didn't mind the ankimo and it was interesting to have, but the wife couldn't handle it. Not a negative on the restaurant part, but the ankimo also wasn't as fresh hence the strong fishy taste. The tamago was a miss for me, because it tasted really bland. There wasn't a strong sweet taste to it and all it had to offer was a thick slab of egg on top of rice.
Desserts-wise, we had their yuzu cheesecake and their Lemon Meyer Tartlet. The cheesecake wasn't bad, but it wasn't absolutely amazing. I totally thought the yuzu was going to be incorporated into the cheesecake, but it was a glaze on the plate instead. As such, it wasn't as spectacular, because it was just an average cheesecake slice. Visually, it was a bit more on the unappealing, because the edges had the appearance of a yellow cake and not a smooth cheesecake. For the Meyer Lemon Tartlet, the lemon sabayon mousse had a nice texture, but overbearing tartness to it that the wife couldn't stomach to finish it all of. To me, it was nice, but I do agree that too much isn't preferred. For the lemon curd bottom, it was surprisingly lacking in lemon flavors. Despite palette rinsing, the lemon curd lacked in lemony flavors compared to the mousse.
All in all, average food all around. Nothing absolutely spectacular based on what we ordered except for the XO shrimp and salmon. The rest I could forgo and probably won't suggest a try unless you really want to. Worth a try for a date night out, but for serious eats or foodie adventure, I wouldn't suggest this site as it has a stronger emphasis on drinks and alcohol than food it appears. | 2021-11-10 23:24:21 | Oku | 29 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.413204 | -119.688437 | Bars, Tapas/Small Plates, Japanese, Nightlife, Restaurants, Sushi Bars, Cocktail Bars, Asian Fusion |
VYVsaoT2o2hpwq2cZFmuPg | WWnhqRnWWjutMqh-2SzEuQ | sj2o49ZCq2iJlZxDNrHDaA | 5 | Matt B. and I visited Institution Ale for baby-is-asleep-at-Grandpa's drinks one Saturday night last month. We'd been planning to go to Shaker Mill, but we walked past this place on the way and turned around when we saw the crowd at the cocktail bar. It looked so appealing from the street, spacious and invitingly lit, with plenty of available seating.
The vibe was comfortable and vibrant, with several people enjoying their beers, including a big group of UCSB students celebrating what was probably a 21st birthday--they all looked so fresh and young. It had been a long time since we'd gone out on this stretch of State, and we enjoyed the atmosphere, especially with the street outside cleared of car traffic. Service was good, as far as I could tell. I held our seats at the bar while Matt ordered our beers.
The draft selection was large and enticing, featuring a wide range of Institution brews, which we could order in a few different sizes. We got 8 oz. pours of three IPAs--the Institution IPA (West Coast IPA), the White Walls (citra IPA), and the Hope Unknown (double IPA)--plus a 5 oz. taster of the Frantic, an oatmeal stout made with coffee. They were all excellent.
I'd never tried anything from this brewery before our visit and am now eager to get their beer whenever I see it available. I suspect we'll be back to Institution Ale before long. It's an easy place with great beer on tap, perfect for a casual night out. | 2021-11-10 23:41:35 | Institution Ale Company | 516 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93108 | 34.417402 | -119.695893 | Nightlife, Breweries, Restaurants, Food, Pizza, Beer Bar, Bars |

We sat outside at one of the fire top tables, which kept is warm and cozy on a cold Sunday morning. Their Bloody Mary, beignets & truffle pizza was all very tasty, and the staff was very nice and attentive. I also love that their patio is dog friendly! | 2021-11-11 00:17:22 | 1114 Sports Bar & Games | 1114 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.422822 | -119.703402 | Beer Bar, Sports Bars, Pubs, Bars, Restaurants, Cocktail Bars, Gastropubs, Nightlife, Tapas Bars |
1LNKDKmmhgYgiJmfJ-aUSA | JGkW3G8xqNBxkRQe5XgEAA | eX7o_-s5TmDT-DMfTV4cmw | 4 | Steaks were amazing! My dirty martini was perfect. The fries were just ok, and the steak sauces could definitely use a kick. They were creamy in texture with not much flavor. Dessert was ok. Service was excellent though. I definitely think they are overpriced for what you get. Holdrens is just as good and you definitely get more bang for your buck (and better fries I may add). Glad we tried this though. | 2021-11-11 00:17:39 | Luckys Steakhouse | 1279 Coast Village Rd | Montecito | CA | 93108 | 34.421239 | -119.641027 | Restaurants, Seafood, Nightlife, Steakhouses, Bars, American (Traditional), Cocktail Bars, Wine Bars |

I really enjoyed the greyhound vodka cocktail. I also enjoyed the crab and lobster ravioli, but honestly was pretty full by the time it arrived so I didn't eat very much of it. However, it did make for some great leftovers. My husband had a lobster entrée and absolutely loved and demolished it.

Ordered the agave enchilada, and it was the best enchilada ever. It was a seafood enchilada with fish and shrimp with a creamy chipotle sauce. Amazing. I could really taste the fish and shrimp. It was very well balanced and not overpowered by sauce or cheese. The side of rice was lovely, and the many different salsas were so good and so fun. I'm a little obsessed. | 2021-11-11 00:54:06 | Los Agaves | 600 N Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.427494 | -119.686624 | Mexican, Restaurants |

It's mostly just fast food or heavier sit down places. The Natural Cafe is an amazing place to grab and quick bite to eat that is healthy or make a sit down meal out of it!!! The quality is fresh and clean! THE side CHICKEN is fresh and moist, And SUPER GOOD. Tuna Sandwich is also great, and the Caesar salad is bomb (the dressing is really good). HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Qop8ocxH5fRt2C9Aj4UpeA | a-FYVRTz54nqx-94fVouBw | ejqpFQ0dwO7AZhxTO9fySg | 4 | Stopped in before a concert - overall, the food and beer was very tasty.
Minus a star because we intended to order fries with the burgers but they ended up adding an additional plate of fries... so just be super clear with the person up front about what you're getting since we were basically drowning in (admittedly, delicious) fries. Also, you'll pay extra for the buttermilk aioli (or their menu didn't display accurate prices, who knows).
And, it took longer than we expected (~30 mins) to get the food after ordering -- we missed a bit of the concert opener, but c'est la vie. | 2021-11-11 03:43:29 | Bossie's Kitchen | 901 N Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.429949 | -119.690791 | Farmers Market, American (Traditional), American (New), Food, Restaurants |

Ykb95hutThlZ0IQ9vDuudQ | ApZ4dtWpJurcFzLrhNLlbQ | 6HTGlttrzCMsuGBHO1ZGiw | 2 | Overall, the food was average at best along with the service.
Ordered catch of the day which was yellow fin rock fish. Had very little flavor, was cool when served and was over priced at $35.00. Nothing comes with it so you have to order a side which was suppose to be grilled veggies but was also not very good and served cold.
Grilled Avocado was not actually grilled but served cold with way to much sauce.
Best part was the bread which took forever to get.
Waiter was average and lost interest when we told him the app was not that great.
The patio was very nice and overall atmosphere is good.
Save your money and go some where else. | 2021-11-11 04:40:46 | Barbareño | 205 W Canon Perdido St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.418045 | -119.702953 | Restaurants, American (New), Barbeque, Food, Sandwiches, Wine Bars, Diners, Bars, Specialty Food, American (Traditional), Nightlife |

I went there two times, both not so crowded, but made me wait more than 40 minutes before the food came. The food overall is okay, but definitely do NOT order pork ribs because it stinks!!!!!!! Terrible restaurant overall, hope it will improve soon. | 2021-11-11 05:02:04 | TAP Thai Cuisine | 7060 Hollister Ave, Ste 106 | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.431147 | -119.873774 | Thai, Restaurants |

They weren't busy at 6:15pm on a Friday, but had sold out of a few items by then since they were closing in less than an hour. Luckily for me, they still had uni available. I tried their Prepared Scottish Salmon Poke ($8.48) & Uni/Sea Urchin Tray (40 grams/$15.95) [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=iURbl4KvMkAqUV8umcE-Cw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg]. While their poke was very fresh and flavorful (I would order this again), their uni was the star of the show. Sweet, briny, nuanced, this uni was fresh from Santa Barbara, and A MUST ORDER! You can also purchase fresh sashimi, and customize which fish(es) you want.
I would definitely come back here for more seafood (especially their uni!) if back in Santa Barbara. No indoor seating is available, but there are a couple of tables for outdoor seating. Parking in this area was easy to find since there is a large parking lot for the pier restaurants. | 2021-11-11 05:11:07 | Santa Barbara Fish Market | 117 Harbor Way, Unit A | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.403749 | -119.693561 | Seafood, Specialty Food, Seafood Markets, Farmers Market, Restaurants, Food |

We were there to celebrate our 36th anniversary, and were seated to a table covered with rose petals, a nice touch! We started with the scallop appetizer for 2. 3 large sea scallops, each prepared differently, all delicious. Our entrees were the Lobster Pot Pie, which was off the hook delicious, and was perfect and, the Wagyu Rib Eye, cooked mid-rare and served over spot on vegetables. | 2021-11-11 05:24:23 | Bouchon | 9 W Victoria St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423983 | -119.70586 | Seafood, Bars, Wine Bars, American (New), Restaurants, French, Nightlife, Mexican |

It was our first time here, went with a friend that raved about it and it didn't disappoint. Tasty food and really helpful staff! The seafood is fresh and very tasty and the sangria is great.
Beer at a great price, beer towers too if you have two friends to share with!

FVjiyPKhU8lW0urRNaG_kA | LOoX9XNGot2yf1lf395Gfg | v5jxpGnKbx3vVxs28dgokQ | 4 | An unusually spacious and quiet Vietnamese restaurant situated in the middle of a rather large suburban mall with everything from TESLA supercharger along with other big anchor tenants like CVS, multiple other restaurants offer some of traditional Pho, rice vermicelli dishes, combination fresh spring rolls and fried egg rolls and huge vegan dishes and also tons of wine and beer etc.
I had a huge combination Phó soup with thick beef, tripes and other mysterious meatballs with the best tasting broth and large portions of rice noodles and usual lime slice, bean sprouts, unexpectedly awesome tasting fried fish! The fried noodles with vegetables were excellent. I also ordered a fresh coconut juice, which was a surprise how it came out in a plastic wrap and big plastic straw, not keeping up with no plastic social norm.
For sure I recommend this place out of nowhere for a decent Vietnamese meals; however, it's little pricey but portions are big.

gGZPfae-RCxLxXJJCQg6DA | d8PuSihxQINKP-8Z3lFAWA | CTmAWi-W8_Id00EjHF5Uwg | 4 | This pizza place was recommended by the hotel personnel. When he said his family always orders and it's the best in town. I just had to try.
They did not disappoint. Pizza crust was soft and the crust had flavor on the bbq chicken pizza was so good just the pizza sauce was just the right tangy We also got chicken wing plain and ranch dipping sauce. I was disappointed on the size of the wings but it was well seasoned even without ranch dip it was very good.
They also impressed me by verifying my order with a call back since i was staying in a hotel near by.
The pizza was promised 45 min but to my surprise it even came earlier. | 2021-11-11 06:49:51 | Rusty's Pizza Parlor | 5250 Carpinteria Ave | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.397265 | -119.515989 | Restaurants, Salad, Sandwiches, Chicken Wings, Pizza |

WKYVMWQBNqGpOROupQo49g | 06yMiyPZCcNVIJcWWpjuag | Y57sylYCgq2VQJuBCnjPfA | 2 | Walked in, we were lucky that we were set up for a table. They told us that we have to get out within 1 hour 15 mins. The server took our order once and never came back to ask if we needed anything else (we needed to add more items).
At the beginning they asked if we could finish our dinner and return the table within 1 hour 15 mins. Agree! But the food took forever to come out. And the server never come back so that my sister, who arrived later, could order for herself. We asked a random server if my sister could order food, she said she couldn't help but would tell my server to come. Our server never came back until we had to wave our hands from distance. Me and my dad finished our food, waited for another 10 mins, even before my sister got help with ordering her food. And took another 20 mins for her food to arrive. How could we finish a meal within an hour 15 mins when the speed of the service was that slow?
We my sister's food arrived, she had to even rush eating it so that she could check out by 8:15 pm. Poor my sister.
The food was ok, not that worth for the price. The ramen was sweet. Chicken yakisoba was like fast food, tasteless. Sea urchin sashimi was ok. The only special thing that bring them the 2nd star was their Carpacio with truffle sauce (+1.5$), pretty good. Never was there one time that our server truly come and check on us, except they stop by to clear up our table, trying to kick us out. | 2021-11-11 07:25:05 | Oku | 29 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.413204 | -119.688437 | Bars, Tapas/Small Plates, Japanese, Nightlife, Restaurants, Sushi Bars, Cocktail Bars, Asian Fusion |

I would give 4 stars for burgers and sandwiches, but 10 starts for their appetizers.
BUFFALO CAULIFLOWERS and COCONUT SHRIMP are the must !!!
Although the place was super busy, our server took great care of us.
Minus 1 star for the parking.

_KZ1yjTPCGC02UZMelMCsQ | cs1GMqTt5eGmLqQyPijYcw | r926yelr_EJAKQCjdD6AWA | 5 | I've made a lot of terrible decisions in my life, but choosing State and Fig for my wedding reception totally cancels them all out. And I made some BAD decisions.
From the very beginning, Patrick was a dream to work with. He's kind and warm, he's also responsive and efficient and above all he knows how to cook, run a restaurant, and throw a great event! He took care of everything, food-wise obviously, but also event-wise because he's thrown so many events at his restaurant and in his previous job.
He was super patient with all our many changes. Originally we were supposed to get married April 2020 but had to cancel due to COVID, then we had to keep canceling or next dates due to some personal tragedies (our first baby was stillborn in June 2020 then 2 weeks later my mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, then 7 months after that our second baby was lost at 11 weeks, all this happened during the pandemic that decimated my husband's small business in the hospitality industry).
Patrick was very accommodating of my brother, his wife, and their daughter who did not want to sit inside with the rest of us. He was more than happy to set up a table on the patio and make them as comfortable as possible. We ended up renting 4 heat lamps to keep them warm and it was super nice on the patio, they were not miserable at all and they didn't look like "pariahs" as they claimed they would. It was a great setup out there, and Patrick even did the cocktail hour with passed appetizers out there so they felt more included. It was perfect.
Not only was Patrick patient with all the switch-ups, but he was also incredibly warm and kind and empathetic about all our trauma and grief. He worked extra hard to make sure we had the most perfect wedding possible because he felt we deserved one happy day. And he pulled it off! The food and ambience at our wedding reception was PERFECT.
It was hard to make our menu selections because all the options he sent us looked delicious! He curated a menu based upon our many conversations and he really took the time to get to know our likes/dislikes and childhood memories. All the options he created looked amazing so it was hard, but we finally narrowed it down to 3 tray passed appetizers (which people are STILL raving about, especially the salmon poke spoon and the battered halibut with tater tot and malt vinegar aioli).
My husband is allergic to fish, but we still chose 2 fish appetizers because we felt our guests would really enjoy them. I felt bad for my husband that he would only be able to eat one of them. However, when we arrived at the restaurant (we missed cocktail hour because we were off taking photos), as soon as we sat down after our first dance, the server brought us each a little plate of the passed appetizers! Mine contained 2 of each of the 3 passed apps and they were SO GOOD. My husband's plate contained 2 of the vegetarian appetizer (it was a warm brie and mushroom crostini, to die for) and they even made him some special little sliders too! Not only did they remember he can't eat fish but they went out of their way to make him something different that he could eat.
The salad and the entrees and even the dessert were impeccable. They tasted delicious, were plated beautifully, and everything was served at the exact temperature it was supposed to be. I will post a photo of the custom menus our florist (Brooke with Burlap and Bordeaux) printed so you can see how drool-worthy our menu selections were! It was legitimately the best meal of my life, and I'm kind of a foodie and have pretty high standards when it comes to food. I've had a lot of really good meals, but this one beat them all!
The service was wonderful too! The staff were super attentive and professional, and they all really went above and beyond to give us a special day. It was perfect. We are so glad we chose State and Fig for our wedding reception and highly recommend it for anyone who wants to host a nice meal and really wow their guests. We're still hearing compliments from our guests about the food and service and ambience of the restaurant! It looked so beautiful too! I will post some photos so everyone can see how gorgeous it was. | 2021-11-11 17:15:52 | State & Fig | 1114 State St, Ste 18 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423044 | -119.703208 | Restaurants, American (New), Delis, Breakfast & Brunch, Tapas/Small Plates, Cafes |

The dinner experience was absolutely delightful. I will dream about the chicken liver mousse and the special pasta dish we had which I believe was short rib. Honestly I can't remember; someone else ordered it for the table and I could have ordered 6 more. Shoutout to Mitch our server both mornings at breakfast. He was so lovely, helpful and on the ball.

Got the croque monsieur which was so delicious. Crispy and fluffy bread with a bechamel sauce and finely sliced, very tender ham. Not too salty, not too cheesy. The side salad was also surprisingly wonderful with a lightly sweetened dressing and lots of Parmesan. My only criticism - and this is kind of a big one - is that they don't have a bathroom.

I like that it's a very casual place with lots of outside seating. The menu isn't as fancy or unique as some of the places around it, and I'm totally good with that. I like that it's quiet, tucked away and not super loud or chaotic like many other places to eat (especially along State Street). I especially like this bc we usually have our dog with us and she can chill on the patio with us at our table with no fears of getting trampled on. AND hello they have a menu for dogs!!!! On our most recent visit we ordered eggs and rice for Twinkle, and it was served in a paper bowl type thing. I loved that she got to have her own yummy food, and we enjoyed traditional breakfast things. They even made a customized vegan breakfast for me and it was SOOOO good!
I definitely recommend Breakwater for casual, quiet dining when in SB Harbor. | 2021-11-11 18:14:40 | Breakwater Restaurant | 107 Harbor Way | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.404278 | -119.694053 | Restaurants, American (Traditional), Seafood, Breakfast & Brunch |

I feel like we barely finished paying for our meal at the cash register before the tacos magically materialized at the service counter next to it. It really was that fast.
The salsa bar had anything you would want to top your tacos. I tried the adobada (my personal favorite), asada, fajita chicken, and the cabeza. All were delicious in their own way.
Definitely recommend coming here if you're ever craving tacos! | 2021-11-11 22:30:32 | Lilly's Tacos | 310 Chapala St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.414316 | -119.694449 | Mexican, Restaurants |

That should have been my first clue. Ordered the lunch special - Italian sandwich and salad with drink. Asked to have it untoasted and sure enough it was toasted. There was about a teaspoon of diced tomatoes and by actual count 6 small pepperoni round slices, 1 slice salami, and a small slice of ham cut in half. The salad was ok and they were out of tea so I just had water. Sandwich bun was all but burnt so I just took off the other parts and put them on the salad and left the bun. Small run down place but at least it was pretty clean. | 2021-11-11 22:47:25 | Cali-Forno Pizzeria | 905 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.420614 | -119.700947 | Sandwiches, Pizza, Restaurants, Italian |
LewtvDXRnm_s1-lNJbvB9w | sgTfNFdR7tMH2G-ni0tCNA | TzNk1TcWLZn0JCpO83hBAA | 4 | Took the day off so went up to Santa Barbara for some day adventuring and chose Stella for lunch as French food is a personal fav of mine and I have already been to a few other restaurants in the area. To start I really like the look of the place as it feels like you're eating in a large greenhouse. Parking is also really easy and free so coming from LA that's a wonderful change for me. Our server Amber was also polite, attentive, and quick with the refills she very pleasant.
I started with the grilled artichoke which was very nice. A taste of spring in winter. It was fairly heavily seasoned but I like that and the size was decent as well. For my entree I chose the salmon almandine which was a nice dish overall with just a few issues. The salmon was cooked well although I prefer a more crispy skin on salmon but the green beans on the bottom could have been cooked longer as they were very tough so overall I would give the experience a 4/5. The crowd was a bit older as well so if you're in you're 30s you will most likely be the youngest there. I would give it another shot for dinner though as dinner service is always the true test; this review is for a late lunch around 2. | 2021-11-12 00:37:49 | Stella Mare's | 50 Los Patos Way | Santa Barbara | CA | 93108 | 34.422504 | -119.65809 | American (Traditional), American (New), French, Restaurants |

No size difference, really, but all in all. The worker had a mask on, covering just his mouth and his shoulder length hair flinging free-er than a bird. They get ONE star because their Chipotle Turkey Sandwich was good. It was good until I found a piece of hair buried in my lettuce!!!

The coffee is some of the best around ( if you like dark full bodied brew). We had an omelette, eggs Benedict and the chicken and waffle respectively. All were very on point for what this is. An American cafe. Small change to the ham on the eggs Benedict. My friend missed the old way just a bit. My omelet came with hash browns instead of the potatoes but they fixed that right up. The bad; the cream cheese frosted cinnamon roll should have at least been warm to the touch. BUT, totally worth getting either way.

I tried the Thai tea Oreo ice cream based off a recommendation
The first several spoonfuls I was like "whoa"
After I ate more of it it
didn't really scream out at me.
So this is what I have to say
It's good as a taste or
As something I tried.
Not really my thing
I think the banana Oreo would have more appeal
So next time that's what I will order.
Does this make it a bad choice no
They did a good job getting the tea flavor to work together with Oreo.
It just so happens I'm not an ice tea kind of guy.
So yea, banana Oreo up next | 2021-11-12 02:00:05 | Your Choice | 3404 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.440627 | -119.73678 | Restaurants, Thai, Food, Chicken Wings, Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt, Desserts |
vWbzxJNGkyB41GDkYO5zEQ | 2Ajwle6egT9nWq2VaTVxiA | L6nIOUwcTGgQKExGHmvTzQ | 4 | Super fast service!! First time getting pho; I've always gotten chicken vermicelli noodles at Viet places before. This time I tried the House Special Pho! It was so delicious. Filling, warm, and packed with a punch of flavor. The perfect meal on a cold night, and I walked away still feeling good even after putting down the entire massive bowl of food. The broth is a bit salty, but according to my friends that's how many pho restaurants are, and it was tasty nonetheless. Just made you a bit thirsty afterwards...
Tip: make sure you use the basil!!! Rip it to shreds and top the pho with it; it lends this awesome fresh and delightful wave of flavor to the soup. | 2021-11-12 02:02:24 | Noodle City | 5869 Hollister Ave | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.435791 | -119.828303 | Food, Vietnamese, Restaurants, Noodles |
ncD2lhH9dxgFovSXZvpT8A | 9LuVqMLtICqyDpBtJBPsRg | LuPK46HMxRYEVTXVbBCR1g | 5 | Came here on a Thursday Night (Veteran's Day) a couple minutes before they opened at 5p. Was seated by the hostess, and the server took my order a little past 5p.
I ordered the Mie Goreng, the Hot Chicken Bao, and a Sauvignon Blanc.
The Mie Goreng was amazing. It's definitely got a bit of a kick to it. The texture and the consistency on the noodles were absolutely perfect. There was plenty of egg, and the yolk was cooked medium well. Most "traditional" noodle dishes only come with a tiny bit of overdone egg yolk. This dish was an absolute homerun.
The Hot Chicken Bao went even beyond that. The fried chicken was crispy, yet the batter also had a nice flakiness to it. You can also taste the chicken skin underneath the batter. The sauce and the pickles were a perfect compliment. My only complaint has to do with the structure of the sandwich. It gets pretty messy pretty quickly, as there's not enough bao to encompass the massive piece of chicken they give you.
The wine selection is very well done. They have a lot of European wines, as well as a couple local choices. I chose the local 2019 Ojai Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, which I highly recommend if you're looking for a bit of acidity to complement the rich flavors.
The level of detail that they give to their food and wine selection deserves all the praise, and I'd give this restaurant 7 stars if possible. With the amount of food, the price point (especially considering the surrounding area), and just the level of attention given to the quality, I feel that this place is an absolute steal. The Michelin guide seems to think so as well. | 2021-11-12 02:24:14 | Sama Sama Kitchen | 1208 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423701 | -119.704638 | Cocktail Bars, Farmers Market, Tapas Bars, Food, Desserts, Nightlife, Asian Fusion, Restaurants, Tapas/Small Plates, Bars, Indonesian |
6JFoIp4nMbCACMnEGzJvtQ | 9LuVqMLtICqyDpBtJBPsRg | SZU9c8V2GuREDN5KgyHFJw | 3 | Come here early. I came here around 11:15a on a Thursday and it wasn't long before all the seats were taken.
I ordered the seasonal bisque (crab, at the time) and the crab cakes.
Seasonal bisque was good. The bisque was great, although didn't feel like I got much crab meat out of it. They give you the top of the bread bowl, and it felt slightly stale, and didn't taste that great. Noticed that most people who order the bread bowl don't really bother trying to eat it.
Crab cakes felt unbalanced. A bit too salty. The cole slaw that came with it was a good complement, but definitely felt like there wasn't enough to balance it all out. Onion rings and the dip were amazing. Really wish it came with more of that. In fact, I probably should have just ordered the onion rings.
Overall, service was great, and seems like a lot of people come here for the fresh seafood. The items I ordered felt like a bit of a miss for me, but wasn't a dealbreaker. Happy to give it another shot, but not sure if I'd recommend this as a "must visit" destination. | 2021-11-12 02:41:36 | Santa Barbara Shellfish Company | 230 Stearns Wharf | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.408715 | -119.685019 | Live/Raw Food, Restaurants, Seafood, Beer Bar, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Bars, Food, Nightlife |

Once I waited inside, after letting them know I was there to pick up a to go order more than once, for 27 minutes. They seem to hire very young employees that aren't quite the most professional.

I can forgive slow service due to covid and I was in no rush but as nice as the server was, he wasn't on his game....he forgot to put our order in and in a rush to get us our food, the kitchen wayyyyy overcooked the sea baas and burned the cedar plank which overwhelmed the salmon flavor.
The complimentary soup while we wait for our food as others who arrived later ate their dinners was a nice gesture but yummy food is what I really craved.
Our less than half eaten entrees should have been a clue that the food was sub par, but it went completely unnoticed by our mostly absent server. | 2021-11-12 03:12:49 | Jane At The Marketplace | 6940 Marketplace Dr | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.42975 | -119.87028 | Pizza, Wine Bars, Restaurants, Venues & Event Spaces, Sandwiches, Cocktail Bars, American (New), Event Planning & Services, Burgers, Bars, Nightlife, Beer Bar |

4Yh1A8jkVmJVVZtZLUgdHw | GgsqX1GD0XrsZGEbqm584w | KSYONgGtrK0nKXfroB-bwg | 1 | I was very excited to try this place - I had several other choices bookmarked from Eater and decided to prioritize this one. Unfortunately the hostess completely turned us off from eating here at all.
Showed up at 5 to see what the seating options were if I wanted to come back at 6.
Me: we're not hungry now, but would love to come back in an hour
Hostess: yeah, that's not going to happen. We're fully booked but [x and y areas] are first come first serve.
Me: oh ok, i guess we'll come back later and try out luck
*comes back later and sees 2 open seats at the bar*
Me: hi! are those 2 seats open?
Same hostess from earlier: no there's a waitlist for that
Me: you didn't tell me there was a waitlist earlier
Hostess: you didn't ask
Me: Ok how longs the wait list
Hostess: one hour
For a second I thought we'd do the standing bar but this interaction put such a bad taste in my mouth we decided to leave.
My husband: that was very rude of you to not tell us about the wait list earlier
Hostess: rolls her eyes
Hostess is the girl with long wavy brunette hair.
We went to the Lark after and the hostess there was much more helpful. | 2021-11-12 03:29:43 | Loquita | 202 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.414204 | -119.691644 | Event Planning & Services, Nightlife, Tapas Bars, Spanish, Modern European, Bars, Cocktail Bars, Seafood, Venues & Event Spaces, Restaurants |

They use a real chilie pepper and it is not canned. I loved the green verde sauce they poured over it. It comes with sour cream and delicious guacamole. It is served with Spanish rice too as a side. I devoured all of it. The why there is no photo. So now you will have to order one ro see what it looks like. Mmm good. I could eat another one!!! The employees arw nice and welcoming.

gcVvw1MJn3rsQlSVcbO6iA | 76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg | U3grYFIeu6RgAAQgdriHww | 5 | 4-4.5 stars, but rounding up for their reasonable prices and fresh seafood. They were super busy at 6:30pm on a Friday, but we lucked out with the last table outdoors. They will only seat you once your whole party has arrived, but you can at least put your name down on the waitlist. I tried:
-Hot Combo (8 Shrimp, 4 Steamed Clams, 2 Oysters Rockefeller, 4 Steamed Mussels, 2 Baked Clams, $22.95, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7SqdqiQwy5YQ28RfWqRYUw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Solid combo to order if you like to try a little bit of everything like me. All the seafood was really fresh and cooked well, but there wasn't anything that was amazing for me. This is still worth ordering if you want to eat a variety of seafood.
-Oyster Shooter ($4.25, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xYOUI4MUKVQrhgWew4hedg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Solid, and the oyster was very fresh. However, there was too much horseradish.
-Brophy's New England Clam Chowder (Cup/$6.25, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mt3w61teWhAPXcCFF6iTFg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): DELICIOUS, and one of the best clam chowders I've had in a while. The chowder was creamy and flavorful, and full of clams- A MUST ORDER!
-Beer Battered Fish & Chips (Served w/Coleslaw, $15.25, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ElLWHOq10iGVcsDYV1TqfA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): This was a great version of fish and chips. The pieces of fish were sizable, and cooked perfectly. I liked that the batter wasn't too thick. The fries and coleslaw were solid, and their tartar sauce was really good- highly recommended!
They had a lot of indoor seating available as well as a few tables for outdoor seating. Service was solid and our server was very friendly and attentive. I would come back here for more seafood dishes if in the area (especially to try their fresh oysters). Parking in this area was easy to find since they have a large lot available for the pier restaurants. | 2021-11-12 05:04:11 | Brophy Bros - Santa Barbara | 119 Harbor Way | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.403759 | -119.693992 | Cocktail Bars, Fish & Chips, Nightlife, Seafood, Restaurants, Bars |

Her parents saw an article in a magazine about this place so we had to try it out! The tortillas are homemade and they're constantly making fresh ones. By far the best tortillas I've ever had. They're thicker and chewier than store bought ones but they're just perfect for tacos quesadillas, and the other items on the specials menu.
There's a nice enclosed patio area for eating and it's well spread out enough where no one is in each other's space. You can tell there's a lot of regulars that come here, but that's a sign of any good food place.
I ordered one of the tamales and it was the second best tamale I've ever had, and I'm a San Diego native so I've experienced some really good Mexican food. I would definitely recommend coming here because the food is great and the prices are cheap!! | 2021-11-12 06:48:46 | La Super-Rica Taqueria | 622 N Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.427943 | -119.687284 | Restaurants, Mexican |
fzdNb3_ghJD_glOZnPESvQ | sELU-fl1hqaLaiYLWRz7CQ | 6EizP0XyqITuGZ8GZMI9Lw | 5 | I generally don't write reviews about places, but my experience at this restaurant was very well deserved for a review. I came in right on a Saturday when the restaurant was opening and sat at the bar. I was greeted by Tyler the bartender who was very open to being social and making cocktails at same time. Served me a nice glass of Pinot Noir for my dinner. My favorite dish hands down was the grilled octopus appetizer. It paired very well with the with the ahi tuna cones and the rest of the meal. The seared scallops was also a very exceptional dish a bit pricey but presentation wise it got A+ and was cooked to perfection. Crème Brûlée you can never go wrong with. The next time I go to Santa Barbara I won't hesitate at all going back to this superb restaurant. | 2021-11-12 09:29:28 | Toma Restaurant & Bar | 324 West Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.408633 | -119.693496 | American (New), Italian, Bars, Restaurants, Nightlife, Food, Beer, Wine & Spirits |

Similar to how The Nook is to Lama Dog, M Kitchen operates separately from M Special. If you have an open beverage tab at the bar (where they hold onto your card), be prepared to pay for your food using a different payment method, or close your bar check and then come over and order. A little awkward.
When I was here last night, I noticed that menu prices all went up $2 from last year. The food is decent but nothing cutting edge. I ordered their Loaded Fries with pulled pork. It was flavorful but pretty soggy at the bottom. The fries were seasoned well and the chunks of pork were delicious. My friend ordered their Wings and was satisfied.
I felt that the woman behind the counter did a great job. She was friendly and upbeat. One thing I noticed was that the credit card machine doesn't appear to inform you when to remove the card from the slot. The customer in front of me had walked away with their card still inserted - oops!
I'd come back and give this spot another try. | 2021-11-12 16:24:09 | M Kitchen | 634 State St, M. Special Brewing Company | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.418731 | -119.697693 | Restaurants, American (Traditional) |

The bagels are fantastic. Burritos are a solid choice. Veggie burrito just needs a little more spice. Coffee is great. Outdoor dining includes umbrellas. Service is five stars. | 2021-11-12 16:56:03 | Jack's Bistro & Famous Bagels | 5050 Carpinteria Ave | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.398598 | -119.517515 | Sandwiches, Salad, Bagels, Coffee & Tea, Breakfast & Brunch, Food, Restaurants |

Over everything else, there is something special about this place as it feels like time just stands still. Maybe it is because it is out of a wine bar it almost feels like a speakeasy coffee shop. Perfect spot on a quiet Saturday morning to come inside and find a bustling coffee shop off of state street. No one is in a hurry and everyone is happy, it almost felt all too natural to pick up this weeks print of the independent and read through the current local musings.
While I do have to note the coffee is significantly more expensive than other places it was really good. Everything is done by hand in a made to order basis using exact temperature controlled water and precise grind sizes.
You can always tell good people by the libation that they furnish. Whether it be a bottle of wine for dinner or a cup of coffee in the morning. | 2021-11-12 17:13:11 | Golden Line Coffee Bar | 618 Anacapa St, Ste A, Villa Wine Bar | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.419541 | -119.696359 | Pop-Up Restaurants, Coffee & Tea, Food, Restaurants |

The reason for 4 stars is there are two locations on State street. I placed my order at the wrong one (my bad). However, when I got to the new beach street location, the waitress checked on my order (twice) and said it would be ready soon. So I waited and waited for 20 mins, then stopped the manager (?) showed him my order and he informed me I was at the wrong location. That would be ok, if I had a car...and hadn't been waiting 20 mins already after being told my order was there. He put a new order in, gave me a free coffee, but a said he had to charge for breakfast...good thing I was hungry. On the way back to my hotel I called the other Jeannine's and they said he should have not charged, this happens. There will be a refund, with a free a cup of coffee, and am enjoying delicious avocado toast...but was late for a meeting (minus the star). Just putting this out there for others who order before having coffee...make sure you have the correct location!

2CKBWDvqVBM16EfMGUX9uA | FVudPMIsyUDCXZuF6QC8qA | EtM079Cj7-B3G7jPsGYb_Q | 1 | If I could give it ZERO stars I would. Went there on Veterans Day 2021. I walked up to the hostess who didn't even greet us. Santa Barbara being a college town, it wouldn't surprise me if this girl is some little rich chick who doesn't even need a job. She proceeds to seat one couple down then starts cleaning tables at a turtle's pace and completely ignores us and another couple that had just walked up. Not sure if she gave the white couple she sat down better service and this was a race thing because we are Latino and the other couple was Indian and we got zero respect and attention! When she's done cleaning one of the tables I told her can we have that table and she tells me "hold on!"In a super rude tone. Then she starts lollygagging walking around and finally decides to attend us and tells us "I'm so sorry guys but our system just went down so we're not gonna be able to take your order". I was like "what do you mean" and she's says "we can't put our orders into our system to get them to the kitchen in the back". I said "well why don't you write the orders down and walk it back there?" I said "at some point your system Has to come back up and then she's like yeah but I don't know and can't help you". Meanwhile, the couple that had just been seated is getting their order taken! I asked to speak with a manager. She asks for someone named Dustin over her headset and needless to say he never shows up. Horrible customer service! Don't know if it's a race thing but completely inappropriate. | 2021-11-12 17:53:33 | Sandbar | 514 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.417371 | -119.695827 | Nightlife, Arts & Entertainment, Restaurants, Dance Clubs, Bars, Music Venues, Mexican, Sports Bars |

Returned for lunch. Impressed with spit roasted chicken surrounded with olives, roasted cauliflower, and grilled almonds. Dude harissa and romenesco condiments were a great compliment. Accompanied by charcoal avocado salad that included pineapple infused guava. Polished off the crispy potatoes as well. | 2021-11-12 18:32:54 | Convivo Restaurant and Bar | 901 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417321 | -119.672226 | Bars, Mediterranean, Restaurants, Nightlife, Moroccan, Event Planning & Services, Venues & Event Spaces, Italian |

ipoyVQgIykJ1zD78QugIoQ | TcIoNctIRGBCfyyF63Tolw | DV0BJwh9qzPqcxufrA_7ag | 4 | Good food at great prices. They have a huge selection of sandwiches from a single size all the way to a family size all made right in front of you.
My Family often goes for the burger special which is a cheeseburger, fries and drink for about $8 they also have a veggie burger YUMMY! Staff is always nice but sometimes orders can be a little slow but since they make the food in front of you I never mind. The place looks the same from 20 years ago when I was in high school so it can use a remodel for sure but its clean and good. | 2021-11-12 19:08:44 | Sam's to Go - Milpas | 726 N Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.429039 | -119.688642 | Delis, Salad, Restaurants, Sandwiches, Burgers, American (Traditional) |
