Very friendly and welcoming, our photos are ready within minutes. Be sure to ask for a couple of each salsa, both were delicious! Prices in portions were fair, the tortillas are made in the house and some of the best around! One of our favorite cheap and completely satisfying meals when in Santa Barbara! | 2021-11-19 00:17:43 | Taqueria Rincon Alteno | 4414 Via Real | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.40519 | -119.52958 | Restaurants, Tacos, Mexican |
_gf1Aukm6sBqUm8sw749XQ | 5MOocjdb0_R2HfLXdgbLaA | NORF647ibBQ4U-VNMgzSLg | 4 | Love this place for a quick lunch or a pick me up! There are plenty of choices for toppings and they have gluten free options. I like adding coconut, peanut butter, bananas, strawberries and granola. My reasoning for the four stars is i feel it is a little overpriced. | 2021-11-19 00:38:41 | Oakberry Açaí Bowls and Smoothies | 819-B State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.419682 | -119.700302 | Coffee & Tea, Restaurants, Cafes, Food, Acai Bowls, Juice Bars & Smoothies |

A more timely response to what people want to eat for breakfast. Healthier choices are important options for your dining wake up coffee and eats!
Let's keep improving, better quality = taste better. Enjoy-o-matic!
Hopefully the restroom has been improved. | 2021-11-19 00:47:33 | Esau's Cafe | 507 Linden Ave | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.396445 | -119.521744 | Burgers, American (New), Diners, Breakfast & Brunch, Fish & Chips, Restaurants |
P0ru82fnd2wIZsgvWVBoHA | 5MOocjdb0_R2HfLXdgbLaA | zeAfmYy9b1gfUJLRBHm6vQ | 5 | I have always loved this place! Great food and portions. My kids share the meatballs and buttered pasta. They love getting their toy from the machine. My husband and I order the chicken piccata with linguini and Alfredo sauce. The garlic bread is delicious as well. You order at the front counter and choose a table. Staff bring your order to you and anything else you may need. Great for families! | 2021-11-19 00:51:11 | Presto Pasta | 2830 De La Vina St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.437063 | -119.725682 | Restaurants, Italian |
5t-tK2QhMIdcMQx7IWZmQA | Mn2SQiPpPeviRCYTnUUuOA | ycbmvmBYk4w_ZmdrPL0tBQ | 1 | Not good, not good at all. Got here for a late night snack and ordered the nachos, carne Asada fries and the wings. The nachos looked like they were microwaved on a paper plate... no blacks beans just black bean juice out the can AND they forgot guacamole. We told our waitress and she just looked at us and asked us what we wanted to do about it???? Literally anything at all please??? The carne asada fries were good but why were the fries so small? Made it so hard to eat. My friend ordered a drink and it never came... food was overpriced, underwhelming, and a pretty terrible experience. The older long haired guy who sat us seemed like a guest and it made me super confused, and kinda creeped me out tbh | 2021-11-19 01:15:53 | The Cruisery | 501 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.416748 | -119.69577 | Breweries, Nightlife, Food, Cocktail Bars, Bars, Restaurants, Brewpubs, Gastropubs |
aVDOSEPw6unSRApP_LeDNA | naVeViC4P4juyW4oA-g1ow | eCnHSfwrco1Vs3m-iRcavw | 4 | Had lunch, party of 4, today, arriving before noon. Two of us had the French Dip prime rib sandwich, one with fries, one with salad. Sandwiches were excellent with lots of very thinly-sliced beef, toasted roll and a good dipping sauce and horseradish on the side ($22). The fries were large cut and seasoned, very good. The salad was 'meh,' with very watery blue cheese dressing that resembled ranch. Another had a fried chicken sandwich and fries - very good, and large. Fourth person had the prime rib soup, which she was happy with. Also a side of roasted brussels sprouts, which she reported were very good. Drinks are a bit pricey, at $8 for a common brand beer, but not outrageous.
Server was Jessica and she very good and attentive. Atmosphere is nice, and the dining areas spacious. Parking is easy, and they did fix the pot-holed lot of the past. Overall, nice experience and we'll return for dinner. | 2021-11-19 01:35:04 | Timber's Roadhouse | 10 Winchester Canyon Rd | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.433072 | -119.899549 | Restaurants, American (Traditional), Barbeque, Steakhouses, Sandwiches |
D0ZK3hdQCZBgDYDhO0-TPQ | Xp5Hj2SGl0eDp3Ine9a_vg | XyYsl2OyoMi6OMvzsdcVoQ | 5 | Hubby picked out some new glasses at Urban Optics next door and they were able to cut the lenses and have his glasses ready in about 20 minutes! Of several cafes/wineries in La Arcada, we chose Mizzza because it was a great little spot for people watching and checking in at the opticians.
It was around 3:30 on Halloween afternoon. Neither of us was hungry for a meal, so he had a coffee and I had a cup of Earl Grey and we split the limoncello cake. I didn't have any expectations that in the heart of the tourist district, this cake was going to be particularly special, but holy cow!!! There was a mango syrup drizzled on top and fresh whipped cream and strawberries. The cake itself was really light and moist. We enjoyed hanging out for about 30 minutes, watching all the kids (and adults) passing by us in wonderfully creative costumes. Our favorite was a big goldendoodle dressed as a very convincing Star Wars AT-AT Walker. Now, there's something you don't see everyday!
We are local and don't usually hang out downtown, but we will definitely dine in at Mizza again. I already know the food is great, because the owner treated the local Yelp Elite crew to some incredible appetizers when she first opened. Also, my friend Brandi Rose is performing at the restaurant fairly regularly for Mizza's guests and what's better than pizza, limoncello cake, and live entertainment?!!! | 2021-11-19 01:38:54 | MIZZA | 1112 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.422807 | -119.703594 | Restaurants, Salad, Sandwiches, Italian, Pizza |
qhJVgA68z9Te_H8O41flOQ | __kcOMaj55LFSsjSAS_0-g | eCnHSfwrco1Vs3m-iRcavw | 1 | Well we've been to the Timbers... Not sure we'll be back.
My review is going to echo all of the other ones that said the service was slow and service lacking and food is overpriced, You could get a better meal at Kyle's kitchen!
It makes me wonder about these five-star reviews that say this place was fantastic, makes me wonder if they are paid reviews. The owners used to have the Woody's over on Hollister and Patterson, but apparently closed that down so they could open this place. That place had been there for a really long time, so obviously they've been in the restaurant business so not sure what is going on with Timbers. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, it was dry and like eating sawdust. The other person in my party ordered the Timbers burger and it was just okay. The fries were very good though, as was the pretzel. We were so excited to have a restaurant open on this corner, it would serve so many neighborhoods in this area. A lot of us could walk. We did go about a week or so after they opened, so we kind of thought we needed to give them a little time to get their act together. But review after review says the same thing, overpriced, poor service, bad food. Draft beers are $8! Menu is ok, but should be more casual. Not sure if this place is going to last. I sure hope the OWNERS and MANAGEMENT are reading these reviews, and hope they make some improvements to food and service. | 2021-11-19 02:05:56 | Timber's Roadhouse | 10 Winchester Canyon Rd | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.433072 | -119.899549 | Restaurants, American (Traditional), Barbeque, Steakhouses, Sandwiches |

Chanel the chef met us the day before and did a taste test, she was open to all of our ideas and was such a pleasure to work with. The day of our wedding the staff was beyond kind, helpful and extremely attentive. The food was amazing!!!!
We got so many compliments on the food, staff and ambiance of it all. The bar was close to our area that was just for my guests, it made the night blend well.
I can't wait to visit Santa Barbara again just to go back to eat and say thank you !
Chanel good luck on your future adventures! | 2021-11-19 02:14:33 | Bluewater Grill - Santa Barbara | 15 East Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.412758 | -119.688965 | Seafood, Venues & Event Spaces, Cocktail Bars, Restaurants, Nightlife, Breakfast & Brunch, American (Traditional), Event Planning & Services, Bars, American (New) |

lwr2xoden45kC7eXiEKBog | GQr9KhkjQMnoEuJJBkIhEA | nnn78cplvQGZSMVblpI5gQ | 1 | Mandarin place is usually pretty good- however the customer service is ridiculous. They are not appreciative of their PAYING customers. My wife ordered food over the phone and when we got home we noticed a foul smell. When we were serving the food the chow mein smelled delicious, the orange chicken and fried rice were just as good; however the Kung Pao shrimp smelled horrendous- and I am not talking about your typical sea food smell that tends to be released from cooking shrimp. When I called the restaurant to politely inform them about what I imagined was a mistake the lady on the phone was extremely rude. Her name was Guendyn the manager (I am assuming) and she completely went off and expressed how I was wrong and the food was "fine". I was not calling to get my money back or even complain for what it's worth - I was really hoping to simply inform them so that they could take the necessary measures to ensure another paying customer did not take home spoiled food as well. What a shame - we were regulars - never returning - hope I don't get sick from trying the shrimp. | 2021-11-19 02:17:13 | Mandarin Palace | 3955 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.439103 | -119.752671 | Chinese, Restaurants |
q0F7XiFz26_qD0ZEJS4HRg | KHjWxA4w3j7DqqWuDyqexA | 2xxkaRy7rP5EUyjFt2J5kA | 1 | They screwed up my take out order. Went back to get the correct order, got home (for the second time having driven an EXTRA 20 minutes) and it was the wrong order again! No refund or even apologies given from them, and when I tried to call back I was on hold so long I finally hang up. Not happy with the take out tonight. | 2021-11-19 02:35:21 | Nikka Ramen | 5701 Calle Real | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.440885 | -119.823523 | Restaurants, Japanese, Ramen |

9TE9DHSmOw3iUOXCNl3V9g | KqKq4pDWrvQZapKfDWjIcA | RiOcLw__HPf_rTOTpYKnHQ | 5 | omg there are robot waiters. adorable but they didn't serve our table sadly.
the waitress who helped us was patient and friendly especially hearing our dietary curiosities. She came to check in on us a few times and we took on her great recommendations.
I appreciated both dishes because they were massive in portion size, despite price, and were nostalgic of the Chinese food my mom makes. The mapo tofu was cut so that it did not lose its shape in the minced pork sauce. Well seasoned and savory. Love the crumbling textures balanced by the silken tofu. The fish dish was phenomenal, quite powerful, smacking numbness into our lips and tongues. A pleasant pain. We drown ourself in fluffy rice as well. | 2021-11-19 03:49:10 | Meet Up Chinese Cuisine | 2251 Las Positas Rd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.42653 | -119.734437 | Szechuan, Chinese, Nightlife, Karaoke, Asian Fusion, Restaurants |
Py6TFhQHeI4ZgR-oV-Lvyw | FWs_GQ0rvjzXgJvQVbUqGA | SZU9c8V2GuREDN5KgyHFJw | 4 | I cannot leave Santa Barbara without visiting this popular seafood restaurant. The wait time was over an hour. While waiting, you can walk around the area.
There were plenty of parking spaces, and you didn't need to walk far.
I had to deduct one star because they don't have Dungeness crab that day. They only have lobster. I ended up ordering rock crab. They do provide the crab cracker. Even if they already cracked the crab for you, it was still hard to crack the rest of it. I almost cut myself. This is why when it comes to crab, I prefer Dungeness crab. I did it enjoy their delicious chowder and bisque. I love their Uni shooter. I am so glad they have this on their menu. | 2021-11-19 04:25:57 | 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 |
Zs0f8508eZcvOfk3X3ZspA | ENm-kPLqGvbYIe3PcMSQ9g | fAiPD2OIEm9wtS7uJqzu5Q | 5 | If you are tired of heavy, greasy food, try Natural Cafe. It's located in a spacious area with easy and free parking. I've avoided coming here because I thought it was a hippie vegan place, but, boy was I wrong by Judging a book by its cover! Natural Cafe serves salmon and chicken, and non-vegetarian items too. For the vegans, there are items to choose from...but for those craving clean and fresh protein, you can also be satisfied by dining here. Basically, everyone in your family can be happy, no matter what their diet may be.
They have quite a large menu of items to consider, from soups, salads, sandwiches, bowls, salmon, and even, enchiladas and burritos. I like their variety. There is a commonality between all the dishes: you won't have to suffer from a toxic food coma because the food I've experimented with so far, is served fresh and the food is pretty clean. (Little grease, no deep fried stuff, not overly salted, etc.) The service is also very quick and the portions are quite generous. The prices are average for a casual, California restaurant.
If I were to describe classic California cuisine to an International friend, I would probably refer to Natural Cafe to describe the kind of various and healthy food that Californians gravitate towards. Come here if you don't know what to eat but want to leave without feeling guilty! | 2021-11-19 04:31:54 | Natural Cafe | 6990 Market Pl Dr | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.429462 | -119.871241 | Food, Vegetarian, Salad, Restaurants, Cafes, American (Traditional), Burgers, Juice Bars & Smoothies |

I can't believe the transformation of this spot, this has become a super classy bar downtown and who knew that they are also open late, so thankful to have a great spot for late night drinks and food. Yea I did say food. Eight girlfriends and I were celebrating two of their birthdays, we were right away seated at our tables when waitress came and gave us our menu, and since it was bunch of us we just started ordering drinks as we were arriving, and I did say they have food, right? Well we got tempura green beans and potatoes chip, and fries (few orders) to nibble and share between us all they were all so good, the tempura definitely a must. Service was great all along, and waitress super friendly. We left after 10 and on a weekday that's late for a place to be open. Will definitely be back soon, also couple of the salads with sardines were amazing! !! | 2021-11-19 04:56:25 | Riviera Bar | 20 W Figueroa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.42186 | -119.703964 | Cocktail Bars, Wine Bars, Nightlife, Bars, Beer Bar, Restaurants |
Dube1WQREKg8vo-rAqYYUg | 22TNcX0Z7lWabVUyZDKdbg | q36uZc2hQml10YGHazJaoQ | 5 | I'm honeymooning in Santa Barbara, staying at the Ritz Carlton which has appallingly unsatisfying food offerings (especially for the price). We decided to have dinner on/near State Street and found many restaurants via Yelp that looked promising. Secret Bao attracted me with its delightful name and we chose it because of its unusual offerings (not hard to find good Mexican or Italian or French food in LA/OC).
Secret Bao is a spiritual relative to Momofuku in the best possible way: a reimagining of favorite East Asian dishes evolved with western culinary influences. I am half white and half Chinese so the concept was inherently appealing... but how was the execution?
The food is excellent--conceived with imagination and the perfect blend of textures and flavors, where each part of each dish is executed lovingly and respectfully, to make a whole far greater than the sum of parts.
The brisket lumpia (more like a spring roll!) was my favorite. It was brought to our table piping hot from the fryer, crispy paper thin spring roll wrapper around sweet and beefy brisket with the right amount of sour crunch from pickled carrots and daikon. The charred scallion salsa is its soulmate and never shall the two be parted. The salsa has delicious deep smoky green onion flavor and subtle hints of citrus and sweetness that pair perfectly with the rich and fatty brisket. I already know this dish will haunt me.
We loved the KFC bao. The fried chicken was juicy and well paired with a crunchy coleslaw with a blend of mayo and vinegar that somehow works really well (and I'm from the south where mayo coleslaw is king). The KFC bao is crunchy, spicy, creamy, juicy, and inspired.
We also got the udon carbonara, pork belly bao, and hamachi tartare. The first two are less surprising but still executed very well. The handmade udon at Secret Bao is as good as udon I've had in Japan and the more famous udon spots in LA: pillowy with the slightest bit of chew. The furikake on the carbonara is a nice addition. I normally don't love it but the sour note elevated the rich creamy dish. The pork belly bao was satisfying, as good as the original popularized by David Chang. As for the hamachi tartare, I wanted so badly for this to be excellent because of the brilliant concept but was a little disappointed. The ponzu overwhelmed the delicate flavors of avocado and hamachi; but texturally the dish is superb.
All told, if Secret Bao opened a location in Orange County I would go every week. It's a special unassuming spot with alarmingly delicious and well executed food. We will be coming back to Santa Barbara just so we can eat here again. | 2021-11-19 05:02:19 | Secret Bao | 1201 Anacapa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.424477 | -119.70351 | Pop-Up Restaurants, Korean, Restaurants, Asian Fusion |

z1Q2WZ4DfN4t4DasPn9i0Q | XmBm3C-Y7TKHuMoEMO5AtQ | omnCKxL0f_akh0eYeJxjDg | 5 | In a town that closes down fairly early midweek it's nice to have SB&K for late night vittles.
And right in the middle of the Funk Zone, it's always fun to be amongst party-people who are out having a fun time. Right across the street from Test Pilot, and around the corner from Figueroa Mountain Brewery.
The inside bar area was a buzz of activity, and we headed out to their outside patio area for a nice table. Under the stars and with heaters full blast, it was pretty comfy cozy as the night went on.
Server Hilary was very helpful with recommendations for both drinks and food items, and got us started with the oh-so-tasty Westside Gin Cocktails. And then with all the possible food choices, she recommended the Beef Sliders, Mac Daddy (incredibly delicious), and Chicken Bites.
Still so much on the menu to try, and looking forward to being there for their Happy Hour. Nice to have SB&K as an option for late night dining. Thanks again Hilary for taking such good care of us. | 2021-11-19 07:53:01 | Seven Bar & Kitchen | 224 Helena St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.415237 | -119.691744 | Lounges, Art Galleries, American (New), Bars, Shopping, Nightlife, Restaurants, Music Venues, Gastropubs, Cocktail Bars, Arts & Entertainment |

But like I said, the customer service has been fantastic and the store is very large and clean with a variety of options.
I also really enjoy the great coupons they send us in the mail.

My husband got a delicious smoked chicken pizza which had a nice crunchy crust and a perfectly cheesy, smoky flavor on top. I got the roasted veggie napoleon which was eggplant, peppers, portobello mushroom and zucchini layered with a romesco sauce and a pesto. We both got tasty, reasonably priced glasses of wine and enjoyed the Christmas decor.

cnFDg1oQS5S9ueHwQKdcdA | ldxxhIxReuzYfIlDIgH79Q | EZc2myE2mYk2h9JK9qu8gw | 3 | Heard that Finney's was a good place to eat, so we walked down State Street to check them out. This was a Thursday evening and they did not appear to be too busy at the time. We were told that the wait was about 25 min. which was fine but after about 30 min, we inquired about the wait and we were told that they had given away our seats because we were not there. Guessing that being 20 feet from them and watching for them to call us for the last 30 minutes was not good enough for them? The two girls at the hostess desk really did not seem to know what they were doing. A bit on the brain-dead side if you will. This kind of service will always reflect on the overall rating of the establishment and the main reason for the less than stellar rating they would have received. After about another 20 minutes, we were seated.
We ordered a bottle of Line 39 Central Coast Cabernet as we had been drinking beer earlier and wanted something different. The beer selection was very good and wish we had tried some of the craft beer Finney's had to offer, but the wine was very appealing and we chose a very tasty bottle.
My wife and I ordered some Bacon Cheese Tater Tots with parmesan garlic aioli to start with. These were absolutely delicious. For out entrees, I ordered the New York Pastrami Reuben; hand-cut pastrami, swiss, slaw, Dijon and Russian dress while me wife ordered the Prime Rib Cheesesteak; thinly sliced jack, peppers, onions and horseradish aioli. Then sandwiches came with a few really good homemade potato slice fries and we ordered a small basket of Truffle fries to go with them. Both sandwiches were done extremely well and tasted delicious. Some of the best sandwiches we have had in Santa Barbara. The fries were tasty as well.
Over all, a very, very good meal. I do recommend trying Finney's Craft House out when in the area, I can only hope that they do get their act together when taking reservations and dealing with potential customers as this could be something that really damages a restaurant's reputation. | 2021-11-19 18:38:09 | Finney's Crafthouse | 35 State St, Ste A | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.412764 | -119.690339 | Bars, American (Traditional), Gastropubs, Nightlife, Cocktail Bars, Restaurants, American (New) |

We sat right at the bar, which is pretty much the kitchen area. We watched them prepare meals. The gentleman doing the majority of the cooking was amazing to watch. It was like dinner and a show! We were there for my birthday and our server was so friendly and kind! The food was great, atmosphere was fun, and it made for a memorable birthday! We even bought one of their long sleeve shirts to commemorate the experience! This was our first time in Santa Barbara! We would love to come back to the town and would definitely come back to this restaurant!

The udon carbonara was a interesting fusion, the thickness of the noodles made the carbonara more complex and a bit messier.
One special that I loved was the salmon Bao, it was flavorful & melted in my mouth. I had never thought to put the two together.
Their deserts were also delicious, we ended up getting one of everything to try and the matcha creme brûlée was my favorite. The creaminess of a creme brûlée meets the semisweet match flavors. They also had a date cake and fried Bao, both were tasty the paired with a vanilla ice cream.
I've only ever had their dinner menu so I know I'll be back for lunch soon! | 2021-11-19 19:25:06 | Secret Bao | 1201 Anacapa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.424477 | -119.70351 | Pop-Up Restaurants, Korean, Restaurants, Asian Fusion |

Bouchon turned out to be the perfect place for a celebration!
The atmosphere was lovely and the service was impeccable. The staff was wonderfully attentive without being in any way overly obtrusive :-)
Over and above the service and the ambiance, the food was the unquestionable star of the evening. Our soup was simply Devine, the Duck was sheer poetry, and the wine our server recommended was the perfect pairing for an outstanding meal.
The prices are decidedly on the high side, which is what you'd expect for a high-end white table cloth venue, but the quality of the dining experience you'll get here makes it more than worth the freight :-)
Highly recommended!! | 2021-11-19 21:02:42 | Bouchon | 9 W Victoria St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423983 | -119.70586 | Seafood, Bars, Wine Bars, American (New), Restaurants, French, Nightlife, Mexican |

I was in town for the day and this spot seemed to have great ratings and it appears they weren't wrong!

Luckily to my utter surprise, there's one in the valley for me to endure world's worst traffic to have me some of their pressed paninis.
I had the hamperini and swapped brioche for baguette. The baguette really gives the panini an extra crunch for those who love having crunchy foods (ie wonton strips in salads anyone??)
Price is just about right, I would say the only thing I recommend is coming with a lot of patience. They're good and busy, which is great!

BekpypKJBgkkP04ozSATLg | WrBj5pBtfus7uVjhb3zwkg | eGI_WepIIjYahIrMVRknfw | 5 | Continuing my Sizzling Lunch reviews, I decided to try some new dishes:
Sweet Potato Fries: The fries are fried very crispily, moreso than other places, and then tossed in sugar. Served with ketchup, this is leaning toward a traditional french fry dish, which is interesting, but I prefer the softer sweet potato fries with sriacha aioli.
Takoyaki: It is essentially an octopus ball topped with mayo, takoyaki sauce, and bonito flakes. Here, I think they hit a textbook takoyaki as it is gooey in the middle and cridpy on the outside, yet flavorful and not heavy.
Salmon Udon: Crossing off another one off the sizzling lunch bucket list with the Salmon Udon! Salmon here is very tricky because theres a fine line between cooking and overcooking salmon. I think the sizzling plate is too hot here and overcooks the salmon, or perhaps, I did not apply sauce fast enough. Either way, I think beef here works the best because Shabu Shabu meat is the most forgiving in terms of cook. Perhaps if the salmon were thicker, that would help it be less overcooked.
Chicken Katsu Curry: This chicken katsu rice with curry sauce did not disappoint! The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside but still tender on the inside. It came with a pretty good serving of rice topped with corn, green onion, mushrooms, and red onion. The curry sauce added a lot of flavor and paired well with the other components. Overall a very tasty and filling dish!

Compared to Hochaya, I think Kaiju does an excellent job with teas as they are consistently good with friendlier service and my favorite topping, aloe, which is a more healthy and refreshing version of boba basically. Additionally, if you read your receipts and rack up 20 points in Clover, you can get a free egg roll (or 6?) which is a really nice bonus as well. The egg rolls are your standard crispy vegetarian egg rolls that come out hot from the kitchen with carrots, yam noodles, and cabbage. Overall, really great place for tea and (free) appetizers! | 2021-11-19 22:06:59 | Kaiju | 901 Embarcadero Del Mar | Isla Vista | CA | 93117 | 34.412924 | -119.857338 | Food, Asian Fusion, Bubble Tea, Restaurants, Japanese |

Fried California Roll: Tried the Fried California Roll at Sachi Ramen today as I was craving it from my post yesterday! I think the premise is there, but missing the much needed sauces to elevated this bland fried roll. Also, the roll is a bit too hard for my liking, which was unfortunate. Priced at $11, this is just an unfortunate dish here.
Shrimp Tempura Roll: A beautiful happy hour special for $8! This is a simple roll filled with shrimp tempura, avocado, and cucumber, topped with eel sauce and sriracha mayo! The simplicity of this works, and it tastes great! Could've definitely gone a bit better to make the dish have more of a wow factor though.
Spicy Miso Wings: $5 happy hour wings at Sachi Ramen! The sauce uniquely combines miso and sriracha and originally didn't have me convinced that this would work, but it certainly tastes great with a big spice kick. The wings were cooked well and correctly, and overall was very tender. Very good find for me imo :) | 2021-11-19 22:10:46 | Sachi Ramen And Robata Bar | 721 Chapala St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.418033 | -119.699965 | Ramen, Vegetarian, Sushi Bars, Japanese, Restaurants |

First, I love the concept - chicken strips, cheese fries, even a box that mimics fast-food fried chicken. The main issue is the chicken - which is a big problem since it's the main focus of the restaurant. I don't know who their supplier is but the chicken was definitely suffering from Woody breast. Look this up if you're not familiar. It was chewy and stringy and tough. You can even tell when you tear it apart with your fingers that something was wrong. The coating didn't adhere and the pieces were so thick and the coating was so thin (and flaky) that there was not much flavor. You had to dunk the strips in sauce to get any flavor. My partner and I both requested 1 sauce with our meals and we got none. My favorite part was probably the cheese sauce. I love cheese fries so it was nice to find a place that serves them. But even they were not great. You get so little fries in a combo (equivalent to a McDonald's small) and the cheese sauce was lukewarm. If they can't pull off this one item, maybe this location should switch back to a Kyle's Kitchen and serve burgers and salads. | 2021-11-19 23:29:33 | Kyle's Isla Vista | 900 Embarcadero Del Mar | Isla Vista | CA | 93117 | 34.412966 | -119.856886 | Restaurants, Burgers, Food, Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt, American (Traditional), Salad |

J_5c5q-GoTwALwJZiTQbng | oHwvzTeN8bHmqWJg24c2zA | syuKX2pH3JJhOOppzNI6SA | 4 | Quick Summary
Cozy Japanese restaurant that offers Kaiseki (prix fixe) with excellent service. Try to book reservations a few weeks in advance. The service and atmosphere were excellent. Appetizers were excellent. But the entrees and dessert were average. Was very excited to try this restaurant, but was disappointed, probably due to high expectations
Food- 4 stars
The Kaiseki was 7 courses. Started out well with the appetizers but flounded towards the finish line
The appetizers prior to sashimi were all very good and thought out. I would give it 5 stars to start
The sashimi and sushi that came before and after the grilled and steamed dish were good and fresh. Slight compliant that the fish was slightly colder than desired
The grilled and steamed dishes (which you have 3 options each) was when things began to somewhat unravel
-Grilled lobster with tama miso sauce- the lobster was cooked perfectly, but the miso sauce was overly sweet. The balance was pretty off, which was disappointing because the lobster tail was cooked perfectly
-Wagyu- I can see why a few reviewers mentioned it tasted like sausage. It was pretty disappointing
-Seafood steamed in citrus bowl with miso bechamel sauce- it was interesting seeing this plate served in an orange bowl. However, the sauce was so gelatinous and heavy that it was not an enjoyable experience
-Fresh water eel and monkfish liver- was really disappointed that there was bones in the eel and that the monkfish liver lacked any flavor. The whole dish was overly sweet
Dessert- it was a mochi crepe with fruit sort of dessert. It was good, but would've better if served hot or warm
Service- 5 stars
Phenomenal service. Very accommodating without being too overbearing.
Ambiance/Value- 5 stars
It's a small neighborhood restaurant that makes for a great date night
Bottom Line
Perhaps Yoichi's catered too much to Western tastes, as the food ventured towards Fusion Japanese and didn't satisfy. The appetizers were great, but it went downhill when it got to the grilled and steamed dishes.

YpkfZBcZrstruorygE0hog | TK8pra2GRcsvkCHMGRFagQ | sjWf71VmU5HIwqX8RGCLJw | 1 | As a local resident and business owner, had been completely offended by the rudeness of the Owner (Mr Kevin Boss) who acted like a totally teenage schoolkid by deliberately muttering as he walked past our table on a quiet evening how we were spread out too far across two tables (with 2 small trainer service dogs that we showed the government ID) and gossiped to his GM about the situation. After confronting him whether there was an issue, he apologized for offending us and only continued to make us feel totally uncomfortable and for the medical reason why we need our dogs, his behavior as a business owner was not only unprofessional, but immature.
Somebody like Mr. Kevin Boss should not be in the service industry especially when you can see just how uncomfortable his staff are and how he made us feel - We recommend if you want to be treated well, without any attitude, go to the Good Lion a short walk away.
As a business owner myself, in times like this, it's a terrible shame such poor service stems from the owner of the establishment. | 2021-11-20 01:59:41 | Riviera Bar | 20 W Figueroa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.42186 | -119.703964 | Cocktail Bars, Wine Bars, Nightlife, Bars, Beer Bar, Restaurants |

Had a wonderful return to the Belmond. Excellent service, food and ambiance throughout the night. The El Encanto Dining Room is back!
Food- 5 stars
They also had their Free-range chicken and tomahawk displayed to the table before bringing it back to being cut (we didn't have that experience when they restaurant first reopened earlier in the pandemic, but it's returned!)
Roasted beet salad- very good. plated well and they even separated and plated two individual dishes for my girlfriend and I
Maple Farms Duck Breast- this was pretty good, but the star of the show was the California Surf and Turf
California Surf and Turf- everything about this dish was phenomenal. I usually prefer ribeyes over filets, but this was one of the best filets I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and so buttery. The oysters along with the spinach were mouth-watering as well. This was ridiculously good
Goleta Lemon- I liked this dessert more than the Floating Island and the tacos. It's good but not memorable
Tres Leches Chocolate Tacos- I would pass on these tacos in the future. It's a good idea and good ingredients. But it's very sloppy to eat and your hands get all sticky because the chocolate shell melts on your fingers
Service- 5 stars
Phenomenal service from our waiters. Really appreciated that they split our salad into individual plates and even nicely plated each of them. Very helpful without being overbearing. Had a wonderful birthday dinner

I ate mine like I hadn't eaten in days. I'm sure I embarrassed myself! Mom loved hers too. She is a slow eater but was enjoying the atmosphere so much it was hard to keep her attention on the food.
Now let me tell you about the fries! There was a lady that mentioned to me they were the beat fries she ever had. I had to try for myself. I was not disappointed! They are! Yum to the max! They are comfort to the max!

Pay for what you want at the counter
Grab a number and a seat
An employee brings you your choices to the table
So what did I order?
Grilled salmon pesto..
Lightly seasoned with a tango of flavor..
I repeat,
Healthy cuisine on state street
And uh, I guess I got my cherry popped.
I ate the cherry tomatoes in the salad
( not something I typically do)
But this is the first time in my life
Where I've tasted tomatoes that actually tasted like a cherry.
It wasn't the normal watery stuff found in salads
Anyways,
The rice texture was real brown rice, "normal"
Salad was good with Italian dressing
The Italian dressing tasted like their was something special in it.. ?
A little dance move or two (two step?)
So clear the table from dinner
These people have "Real carrot cake"
Omg
The texture is that of a sponge and a gel
It's not cakey
Do yourself a favor...
Bless your appetite with a slice
I told them to warm mine up
So the frosting melted...( even better)

I should have known but we went to check at the hostess station. She took joy in telling us she texted and so we had to go to the back of the line. My complaint is primarily that their system failed to notify me but more importantly A business should not take joy in proving they are right then expecting a customer to wait an additional 30 minutes on top of the 30 minutes they already waited waiting for the restaurant system to notify. They're so damn busy they don't need me. And that's great until everybody doesn't need them. And it's not just me the lady in front of you is having the same issue | 2021-11-20 03:30:32 | Santa Barbara Craft Ramen | 436 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.416725 | -119.695235 | Ramen, Japanese, Restaurants |

I have the pork marinated in adobo and has pickled onions w homemade tortillas. It was amazing, my bf had the sirloin tacos which were also good. I had the margarita de fresa and it tasted perfectly balanced between sweets and strong. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is attentive and friendly.

I usually don't come on yelp and take the time to write these things but was so impressed by the service provided and character witnessed that I felt obligated. A man who seemed down on his luck sat next to me and my partner and Maddie handled the situation with such grace and tended to him like the person he was and managed to make him move despite two other male employees who took his manner in a more judging approach and neglected the situation and continued to let this homeless man sit in the middle of the dining space. We were impressed with her remarkable service before hand but after watching her handle the situation with such leadership immediately decided we would like to vocalize more how impressive she was. Go to finnys! Ask for Maddie! She will remind you of a time when service was filled with comfort and relationships versus convenience and separation. | 2021-11-20 04:26:37 | Finney's Crafthouse | 35 State St, Ste A | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.412764 | -119.690339 | Bars, American (Traditional), Gastropubs, Nightlife, Cocktail Bars, Restaurants, American (New) |

What is there not to love from a waterfront restaurant especially when they provide amazing food and cocktails. They have quite the variety of cocktails which I need to come back to continue trying. I had the pleasure of ordering the Dad's Ribeye which was cooked to perfection and accompanied with a delicious side of stacked potatoes and asparagus. The portions are large, the ambiance is great, and the service is spectacular. For only being less than two weeks since their opening, Reunion Kitchen is leaving quite the impression on me.

Sommelier was helpful and our waitress was amazing as well. More importantly the food matches their service. Try the ham croquette, Japanese sweet potato (although something I've never had in Spain it was my favorite dish.) i can have this over and over!!!, their kale salad also filled with flavors ;something I'd never order but my partner loves a good salad) and I was stunned it was my 2nd favorite dish.

Some notes:
We had the desert olive oil cake (I've had much better) and the cheese dip also good but not spectacular
Service was good, but i felt as the Servers explained the dishes it was in the "go" very quick, not much heart into it and because the company may have told them they have to describe foods... felt a bit bland. Besides that excellent wine selection but not somewhere I'd run and go back to. Regardless excellent service i thank you all for all your help and keep at it! | 2021-11-20 05:20:56 | The Lark | 131 Anacapa St, Ste A | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.414878 | -119.690279 | Nightlife, Bars, Cocktail Bars, Food, American (New), Desserts, Restaurants |

We had a party of six. All of our food was cold.
The shrimp/corn fritters were burnt(and cold) more like small hockey pucks
I don't think you could've cooked the Brussel sprouts anymore without them turn into dust.
The Cheeseburger was bland and tasteless
My wife's chicken wings were dead cold but she's agreeable and did not send them back, she did like the flavor.
Even if everything would've been hot and tasty we thought the bill was high
I really wanted to write a good review but sadly it wasn't possible
Goleta really needs a nice steakhouse unfortunately I don't think this is going to make it. | 2021-11-20 12:40:52 | Timber's Roadhouse | 10 Winchester Canyon Rd | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.433072 | -119.899549 | Restaurants, American (Traditional), Barbeque, Steakhouses, Sandwiches |

The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is because the guy that brought us our food literally stood there and made us do all the work.

Homemade corn tortillas, very tasty good quality meat, topped with onions, cilantro, and great hot salsas make up perfect tacos at Reyes Market. They do have a good size menu but only tried the tacos (carnitas and chicken) and my husband got chilequiles with eggs which were good too. Glad I went here before heading home.

3SSYhwq3lDzYtWxi7SoJ1Q | 5rXHqHy-uVR0M9t_G-E-Bg | 4FdsX3MbkcdBRAr1aymF6A | 1 | I have never walked out of a restaurant in my 40 plus years of living in this community until now. Our birthday celebration dinner started off very nicely by enjoying a drink in La Paloma's bar for an early Happy Hour. Our dinner reservations were for 5:00 pm for a party of 4. Originally, we scheduled our reservation online for a Monday night, but I was informed by a friend that the restaurant was closed on Mondays & when I called the restaurant, that was confirmed on the restaurants voicemail (thank goodness I called the restaurant) So, I re-scheduled my reservation using their online reservation service for Friday night. I received a phone call from (Kayla) confirming our reservation & at that time I reiterated that we requested "outside". When we were being seated for our table the hostess started to seat us inside, when I said, our reservation was for outside she quickly referred us to a superior (Rachel). Rachel immediately was on the offensive stating that she had no tables to offer us since all outside tables were "reserved" meanwhile, all outside tables were empty. I quickly responded, well, we reserved our reservation the Monday prior with confirmation with Kayla, no one is at those tables, so what are you saying? When I tell you that her attitude was less than accommodating that would be an understatement. Not only was she dismissive, rude & condescending, but someone that should never be working in a service oriented establishment. She needs to be schooled in "Customer Service 101. To her generous credit, she offered us a horrible outside table next to the hostess stand & we would have stayed possibly if her body language wasn't so rude when handing us menus. That was the final straw, no one deserves to be treated so nasty - we were actually floored by her attitude.
We got up from our table & drove down the street to "Playa Azul" who was also booked that night, but graciously accommodated us - a local establishment that has repeat clientele because they know how to treat their customers/patrons - Dang, I miss the Paradise! Good Luck Paloma Cafe, you will never have my business or any of the 3 other people in my party - | 2021-11-20 19:10:36 | 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 |

Well, the guy snapped angrily at me "you get 2 thighs, 2 legs, 2 wings, and 2 breasts" and proceeded to literally throw each piece of chicken in the bag. The other guy standing there chimed in "that's it - that's what you get." Well, if you can't be polite and reasonable, what YOU don't get is my business.

By that I mean, the right amount of attention without hovering over you. The majority of the dining room and the bar occupy the same space. During prime times it can get a little noisy (I was begging in my mind for the server to feed the table over my shoulder. Party of 4 and one guest was a "machine-gun" laugher). I started with the fried calamari which was perfectly done. We've made it before and been to establishments that can't get it done correctly. I then ordered the Lasagne which was really good and quite a large portion. I'm traveling and dining Single Pringle these days (widower) and the staff took great care of me.

IyaA4ke0a6MWPiTFK4_ugQ | WZpYPnLDrF9ZLD_oSVzJLA | c0p9TawJSQHchy5aL8NWgQ | 5 | Most delicious bbq chicken in town... under radar spot for locals. On Saturdays only they grill some delicious marinated chicken. Order a half plate comes with hand made tortillas and chow down. Just melts in mouth so tasty, flavorful and fluffy. Their tacos are also really tasty during the week. Very nice staff, a real locals joint no tourists here. Maybe one of very best Mexican spots around Milpas which is saying a lot. Forget chicken ranch too much sodium aka heart attack 101. This is healthy and extremely tasty. Seasoning perfection. | 2021-11-21 01:01:38 | Rosales Mexican Restaurant | 827 E Montecito St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.424308 | -119.683279 | Mexican, Restaurants, Breakfast & Brunch, Seafood |

I live in LA and go to many ramen restaurants but Nikki Ramen is the best by hands down. There is a reason locals wait in line for the restaurant to open.

$42 scallop dish (Trader Joes has better frozen scallops). Artichokes were from a jar.

7zBXAi_3chYbGpRHhrdPnQ | dhd-lKApN64t-ZuACHBA6g | yw3vRR7XLIjEnlhMnVzR7w | 1 | I'll make this short- our food was so bland that we couldn't even eat it. At other places we've been, shabu shabu is done with broth that is already seasoned so the meat will actually taste good... at this place it is only water! We asked for more options to season it but were only given green onion and garlic to put in the water. Asked for a partial refund since we ate less than half but were denied. Huge waste of $46 and had to go to another restaurant after. skip this place | 2021-11-21 02:54:51 | Kai Sushi Shabu-Shabu | 738 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.419763 | -119.698983 | Restaurants, Sushi Bars |

ctHLjVZKLz3tkHUcrYoQoQ | xdO093T71O_kgaeO9YIfCg | y4x_wAQvUxvTR8iV-JP4Jg | 5 | My family is a huge fan of Brophy Bros. Seafood. But sometimes we're on a rush or we can't find a parking spot, we like to order Brophy's food to go through On the Alley website. They don't have many menus but they have our favorites like clam chowder, fish and chips, calamari & chips, and shrimp tacos. Their online order is very easy and it usually takes about 12-15 minutes from the time we order to the time to be ready for pickup. When we drove by Santa Barbara to go yo Morro Bay, we picked up some food and they were great! I hope they'll carry more Brophy foods. | 2021-11-21 05:37:53 | On The Alley | 117 Harbor Way | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.403749 | -119.693561 | American (Traditional), Seafood, Sandwiches, Restaurants, Burgers, Breakfast & Brunch |
