FsIsYVvCW1R_Bfn0TsK07g | zOjmOrewdYpgFItpFitrIA | 1U8Kt44FIkC7RnJsNjaMTA | 2 | Picking this restaurant on the last day of our Santa Barbara trip was a sad ending. The sashimi, excluding the uni which shouldn't go wrong since we are in SB, was horribly cut and didn't taste as fresh as it should. The oyster on half shells had lots of small broken pieces of shells. The uni tempura with uni sauce and the lotus root tempura with shrimp paste has no seasoning at all. The tempura sauce was as bland as water. Ordering was confusing as well. Chefs and staff seem to be Japanese but everything was badly executed. The 2 stars goes to the uni sashimi. | 2021-11-28 02:41:02 | Teru Japanese Cuisine | 1305 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.424406 | -119.70606 | Japanese, Restaurants, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Food, Sushi Bars |

So now I have to seat here and order from somewhere else and wait another hour to eat. That is ridiculous, & I'm tired of it. Get it together!!!! I'm tired of wasting my money on this restaurant. Never again! | 2021-11-28 02:42:21 | Baja Sharkeez | 525 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.417179 | -119.696384 | Mexican, Bars, Tex-Mex, Nightlife, Dance Clubs, Sports Bars, Restaurants |
OqGkiytjdByb_9hy8NuL8A | 2PD7IbDirOleZ2tZq2Iz5w | COSC9JC0Vjr89CaTZuPkUA | 4 | Decided to try this place out while I was walking on State Street looking for something to eat. I was sat pretty quickly in the patio area. I tried their SB Craft Ramen with extra Pork Belly Chashu and egg. You get your choice of pork shoulder or belly but I always go for pork belly. The bowls were deep and the pork belly slices were big! You don't need extra honestly. But it was grilled or seared on a flat top and the outside got caramelized and yummy. The broth was rich and I love the cabbage in the soup. I got a side of grated garlic with it. The noodles were thick and chewy and so so good.
I also got the takoyaki to start and it was yummy! Smaller than what I'm used to but they loaded up on bonito flakes which I like.
I loved the ramen but I just wish they had condiments on the table like togarashi or chili on the table for me to add to my soup. Definitely will be back next time I'm in Santa Barbara. | 2021-11-28 02:48:43 | Santa Barbara Craft Ramen | 436 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.416725 | -119.695235 | Ramen, Japanese, Restaurants |

Two of us remarked to each other how long it had been since we both had been there. Over 35 years for both of us. We sat outside on the patio, it was very nice! The service was reasonable. The menu was on the sparse side. The prices were on the high side. The food was underwhelming! Nothing horrible, but nothing extraordinary. | 2021-11-28 03:17:11 | Moby Dick Restaurant | 220 Stearns Wharf | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.40921 | -119.685451 | Seafood, American (Traditional), Breakfast & Brunch, Restaurants |

The food tasted home made and the hand made tortillas were some of the best I've had in many years! This place is dog friendly which is what we were looking for. | 2021-11-28 03:20:26 | La Guerrerita Mexican Food | 5698 Hollister Ave, Ste A | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.435905 | -119.823068 | Mexican, Restaurants, Breakfast & Brunch |
rjjm9HBGBMT1dA_joP8Tow | 0T8Kj5UdAFc7QhDFNt5XvQ | lZ44dxn1TCzJaVBa8Ze8DQ | 1 | Sushi Teri Goleta what an experience ! If you are looking for slow service and unpresentable rolls this is your place. Girlfriend and I were looking to grab some quick rolls and didn't feel like driving down to Santa Barbara for the Sushi Teri on Bath St. So we decided to try out this location. I'd like to start off with the appetizers. Miso soup (with no seaweed!) had to be at least at room temperature and spicy edamame was more
of a garlic edamame For our rolls we had ordered one "Baked AF" and a "Broken Heart." The only "baked" part about the first roll was the tin foil. It had gotten stuck to our roll which eventually lead to the roll falling apart after we tried to grab a singular piece. I understood why they had named the second roll the "Broken Heart" because it had broke my heart when I saw how poorly this roll was presented. Noting back to the slow service, We were checked on once by our server and once she had heard about my experience another server attended to us one to drop off the check. So thank you Sushi Teri Goleta, will stick to supporting the location down town !

KwK0QyTlTOy3MJEMkGySPQ | I4gvBwNYmc7xKLav-Dq2rQ | Y57sylYCgq2VQJuBCnjPfA | 2 | Not impressed at all. My daughter ordered take out and she came home with very bland, overpriced food. Spicy shrimp fried rice had no taste and even my daughter had to drown it in soy sauce. The $19 Piranaha Roll was nothing special. Maybe okay place for tourists who want the ambience but I suggest locals stay away and go elsewhere for sushi. | 2021-11-28 03:56:34 | 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 |

VlMScPAB8ve3HSRCSPxGqQ | ZDCWEctaQHfJQT1sH_rMmA | zZrDoiQIUmiVkifJx0h_KA | 5 | So excited to have my favorite coffee spot now within walking distance of my home.
I was a big fan of the Goleta OTC location and would frequent it often as my office was a half block away. Then Covid hit, my company transitioned to WFH, and I do not go out to Goleta nearly as much as I used to. Santa Barbara does have a handful of good local coffee shops in the downtown vicinity, but none quite compare to how OTC is.
I've come to love this place not only for the amazing coffee and competitive pricing, but also for the incredible service. No matter the time or day, the staff here treats you like family. It has been such a pleasure watching this business blossom into the thriving spot it is today.
The Mosaic Locale is the ideal spot as fresh empanadas are sold here as well - along with a wide assortment of baked goods. The venue is small but very well laid-out and refined. There's a great front patio and even more seating on the State Street parklet. Sitting out here with coffee in hand is the perfect place to watch the world go by.
All of OTC's coffee and espresso drinks are carefully crafted with love and passion. I'm a big fan of their iced coffee and feel that I could consume cup after cup. Now that they are in my neck of the woods, I think I'll have to visit more often! | 2021-11-28 04:19:23 | Old Town Coffee Downtown | 1131 State St, Inside Mosaic Locale | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423056 | -119.704515 | Coffee & Tea, Cafes, Restaurants, Food |

The food was hearty and we were very full. It's a very spacious and clean pub. They also had outdoor dining. We had very good service. | 2021-11-28 04:38:03 | Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant | 18 E Ortega St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.419097 | -119.697455 | Restaurants, Bars, Irish, Nightlife, Pubs, Gastropubs |

As much as we liked the Chilaquiles we won't be coming back because the girls attitude in the front needs to change. I seen a girl drop a cinnamon roll over that got stuck between the rack and glass. She touched it with her bare hand and placed it back on the pile of rolls. Cold cinnamon rolls for the win huh. 4 stars on the chilaquiles but that customer service is weak sauce. Don't roll your eyes at us when there is a substitute available and it's requested. | 2021-11-28 04:38:55 | Crushcakes & Cafe | 1315 Anacapa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.42572 | -119.705241 | Bakeries, Cafes, Coffee & Tea, Food, Desserts, Breakfast & Brunch, Restaurants |

88SU6B_zQhEtXWlVf6590w | KPNvbt7JC4J0iBWR7tuZ7Q | nnn78cplvQGZSMVblpI5gQ | 1 | HORRIBLE EGGROLLS!!! I've been eating here for 20 years and the food was reasonably tasty for the price. HOWEVER, they have changed their eggrolls dramatically from what they previously served. They are now deep fried with mush in the middle. The filling is nasty. It tastes like vegtables that have been boiled for hours. There's no flavor or quality. Seems like they are using frozen egg rolls. Their previous eggrolls had a crisp thin exteror that flaked off and the cabbage vegtable filling was substantial and crisp. Do yourself a favor and do not order the eggrolls! | 2021-11-28 05:52:46 | Mandarin Palace | 3955 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.439103 | -119.752671 | Chinese, Restaurants |

certain things are pretty consistently annoying though. the deep fried cinnamon rolls in particular i thought were great with the icing they came with, but the next 2 times i ordered, having asked for "extra icing please :)", they came bone dry :( spiteful almost. | 2021-11-28 07:47:08 | SB Munchiez | 4427 Hollister Ave | Santa Barbara | CA | 93110 | 34.439706 | -119.770838 | Restaurants, Nightlife, Burgers, American (Traditional), American (New), Fast Food, Sandwiches, Food Delivery Services, Food |

Really Really good
Chicken is cook perfect, moisture inside and
Crispy outside. Also inside has kimuchi slow
I guess but not sure.
Definitely recommend try their sandwiches.
Adam he is the owner, I know him long time.
He has a passion for the cooking.
That's why he can make good sandwiches.
Not only sandwiches. He can make many good
Foods too.
Thank you, Adam! | 2021-11-28 08:25:41 | Matty's Hot Chicken | 38 W Victoria St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423608 | -119.707054 | Restaurants, Pop-Up Restaurants |
vXUaXccHC51O2Lj4biRbyg | KJaRarjadBH1qyWLF9t4yA | PUDTWmMzevJdvsueEmnYqw | 4 | I go here frequently as it is one the few boba places in Santa Barbara. My usual order is either the passionfruit green tea with boba, the boba milk tea, or the mango pomelo sago with boba. I usually order at 70%-50% sugar since I find this place to be on the sweeter side, 100% would be way too much.
The boba is pretty good here compared to whats offered locally, but it is a tad pricier. I'm not sure but i think their boba changed since opening because their pearls reminded me of Yi Fang but now their rounder and bigger, not a bad thing but I did prefer them to how they were before. | 2021-11-28 08:42:42 | Hochaya | 7060 Hollister Ave, Ste 101 | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.431191 | -119.874063 | Restaurants, Food, Bubble Tea |

The garlic knots were kind of bland bread bites as well. Pretty disappointing. If i knew what to expect maybe that wouldn't be the case.
Wouldn't recommend coming here if you don't know what to expect, and keep your expectations low. | 2021-11-28 08:46:16 | Gino's Sicilian Express | 12 W Figueroa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.422101 | -119.703701 | Italian, Salad, Pizza, Restaurants, Sandwiches |

Inside it's incredibly unassuming, but the pho here is definitely the best in town, and believe me, I've tried them all.
They give great portions for the price and the eggs rolls are always crispy. I don't prefer the spring rolls, but I don't care when the pho is that good. You can definitely taste the freshness in the broth. I don't think I've had one bad experience coming here, and I come a good amount. | 2021-11-28 08:53:36 | Noodle City | 5869 Hollister Ave | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.435791 | -119.828303 | Food, Vietnamese, Restaurants, Noodles |

You must try the truffled ravioli. The house bread is worth breaking your diet. We had the Branzino fish...also very good, should have requested side of pasta instead of potatoes. We also had the burrata salad and warm octopus with potatoes, yum yum.

Free muffins while we wait? Yes please!
Food? Awesome! Probably the best chocolate chip pancakes on planet Earth, or at least Santa Barbara.
Any criticisms? Sort of... The place is very popular and service can lag. We sat immediately at 800a on Sunday and the line kept building until after we left at 915a. It took a while to order and much longer than expected until our food arrived. Was I bothered in the slightest? Not really.
Chad's owns prime real estate and offers a great meal at a great value.

DT4MJLvZ0IJH8Uva8TJ_nQ | wVhd99Kl7mIxVMQ_8L210g | VAIOtbsxdNmuhUKkQZFRlA | 4 | One of the best patisseries I've been to outside of France. Whether you get the plain croissant, the almond-studded one, or the pain au chocolat, all their pastries choices are delicious.
Renaud's can be found in Loreto Plaza along State Street and Las Positas. It shares parking with many businesses such as Gelsen's and Chaucer's, but there's plenty of spots.
The bakery menu consists of muffins, macarons, cookies, quiches, chocolates, cakes, pies, petit gâteaus, meringues, and other breads and packaged sweets. Their drink selection is extensive, serving various cold beverages and coffees.
They also have a bistro menu if you're planning to stay for breakfast or lunch. You can find everything from omelettes to Croque Madame. A few Yelpers have expressed some disappointment with the food, and I can echo this sentiment. Their sandwiches tend to be hit or miss, and I've had a few inconsistent experiences that convinced me it's best to go elsewhere for brunch.
But their croissants are consistently solid. Renaud's almond croissant is generously encrusted, and they don't skimp on the filling. On my most recent visit I opted for a regular croissant, which was just as amazing. The outer layer is beautifully golden, while the inner layers are perfectly buttery, flakey, and puffy. | 2021-11-28 18:30:25 | Renaud's Patisserie & Bistro | 3315 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.439429 | -119.73589 | French, Cafes, Restaurants, Breakfast & Brunch, Food, Sandwiches, Bakeries |

RUBEN was so kind and welcoming this morning as I entered to get a veggie breakfast burrito to soak in the 90 glasses of red wine. He has fabulous energy and took pride in his work and love for this city. I love people like him cause positive energy is contagious and started off my day beautifully!

I drink a lot of water and they were always quick to refill, my glass never went below halfway. The food came out quickly and tasted delicious. We had pancakes which were nice and fluffy, bacon that was very thick, which is how I like it and hash browns that were perfectly buttery/crispy! I forgot to take pictures of the food because I was so busy stuffing my face lol. Great place for a breakfast date or for traveling families that want a quick but delicious spot to stop with options for everyone! Also the bathrooms were very clean! They also have lunch options that I will be returning to try. My first time eating here but won't be my last. Great prices especially for Santa Barbara! | 2021-11-28 19:04:47 | SB Sunshine Cafe | 3514 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.440656 | -119.738781 | Restaurants, American (New), Breakfast & Brunch, Diners |

This unassuming quiet spot on upper state does a good job. Huge menu with reasonable prices and when we went it was super quiet and slow = easy to get a table.
The food was good, the order of French toast some of it was not all the way cooked through, but otherwise everything else we got was good. The service was very quick and attentive. | 2021-11-28 19:06:30 | SB Sunshine Cafe | 3514 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.440656 | -119.738781 | Restaurants, American (New), Breakfast & Brunch, Diners |
HjRKwWDLV4V6Pfh3w9X9_g | aTuDbXY-pFpefy5M8OlZ3g | Ss6f5v_t5Vddiaz4ZOxL0g | 5 | The cutest bakery in all of Santa Barbara. We came here right before they closed; totally not on purpose, but we were wandering this area of State Street when the sweet tooth cravings hit. Even though we came in at the last minute, the staff was so patient and beyond kind.
We were warmly greeted, and were in awe of the pastries in front of us. Everything from cookies to decadent cakes to marzipan bites. I really contemplated buying everything, but my waist line said no.
We ended up buying cheesecake bites, cinnamon crisps, peppermint cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and a decorated pumpkin cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious.
I will definitely be back earlier in the day to see their full selection and dine in! This is a totally a must see bakery in Santa Barbara!! | 2021-11-28 19:13:14 | Andersen's Danish Bakery & Restaurant | 1106 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.422719 | -119.703303 | Modern European, Nightlife, Bars, Restaurants, Bakeries, Wine Bars, Food, Scandinavian, Breakfast & Brunch |

Sticky ribs were tender and super tasty. Uni shooters were pretty good, however, not quite on the level of Arigato's uni shooters. The most expensive item we ordered, kung pao cauliflower, was a very large portion, and tasted exactly as advertised, like kung pao.

You're immediately greeted by a very friendly order-counter server; Megan was awesome. Once you order you're escorted to a nice covered patio area...very nice vibe!!
Everything we saw and everything we ordered was excellent! Besides the delicious toast, we had the "Like-a-Tiger"...all very good. The grits were a nice surprise.. fluffy, cheesy, and delicious!

UAMRGZwss5r-cBpLitLvZw | hMCWxm6KMpMv3iT8BaVaGw | E7RtIisUoRMcADSebBgNAA | 3 | Good location, greeter not friendly, and definitely not baby friendly restaurant. But manager is very responsible to take care of our food order problem.
We checked in with a baby and they assign us seat on the side with the high bar stool. I have to request for indoor seating, they put us in a very corner table and didnt offer a high chair at all.
After requesting a high chair, the high chair is broken and not steady so i have to put my baby in lap the whole lunch time.
No baby changing station here too. So the whole dining experience is not convenient.
Food came was cold, and took super long time due to system error. The manager came apologize and took care of the whole bill, but we ended up wasting quite a time in the restaurant after driving so far to santa barbara. | 2021-11-28 20:44:21 | Santa Barbara FisHouse | 101 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.413603 | -119.688076 | Tapas/Small Plates, Desserts, Restaurants, Breakfast & Brunch, Food, Seafood |

I've always enjoyed the sandwiches from Sam's. Unfortunately, my wife and I just finished eating their turkey sandwich and in all honesty, it' was just, Ok, more like disappointing...
We were disappointed because it appears the quality and taste of the sandwich has digressed to a "point of no return"... The sandwich was sloppily made, poorly wrapped, and importantly, the man behind the counter (usual guy) seems to have gotten cantankerous over time. He chastised me for not ordering both white and wheat bread sandwiches the way he wanted, getting perturbed for asking for olives in my sandwich and, he had a smart alec - bad attitude demeanor about him - poor customer service.
Suffice it to say, we will not be going back to Sam's. There are too many good delis in the Cliffs Dr. area to be subjected to poor quality sandwiches and an unpleasant customer experience... | 2021-11-28 21:43:45 | Sam's To Go | 315 Meigs Rd, Ste I | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.400863 | -119.722647 | Sandwiches, Restaurants, American (New) |

Staff is super friendly and helpful (Don't let the neg reviews about customer service fool you, the couple in front of me were a TOTAL pain with ordering and I have never been more impressed with a servers patience).
I don't know why they don't use a Santa Barbara local roaster for their beans... but the coffee tasted great. the barista was super talented and made some super amazing latte art for all of our coffees. She chatted with us a sec after she brought the drinks and even offered to add more vanilla to my latte if I thought it wasn't sweet enough.
The food was cheaper but better than a lot of the overhyped places in SB id say this is a total hidden gem if you want good food and drinks at a decent price. | 2021-11-28 22:16:09 | Crushcakes & Cafe | 1315 Anacapa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.42572 | -119.705241 | Bakeries, Cafes, Coffee & Tea, Food, Desserts, Breakfast & Brunch, Restaurants |

We used the Yelp waitlist to put ourselves in line, walked around Funk town for ~45 min before our party of 2 was called (Saturday night around 6:30pm). We ordered the enchiladas ensenada and the Mole Poblano. The chipotle sauce on the enchiladas + the cheesiness of the inside + the shrimp/fish was amazing but the star of the night was the Mole Poblano!! I previously haven't really liked Mole sauce because I found it on the bitter side, so we did our research and found that Mole Poblano is slightly sweeter than Mole Negro and it was perfection!! Somehow slightly sweet + savory + smoky + with a slight kick all at the same time. Totally agree with the other reviews that said this place nails its Mole sauce. We also got a hibiscus margarita which was nice. Wait staff was very nice. Felt mildly pressured to order extra items (i.e. the guac is actually $12 extra) but we just ordered what we needed. Overall incredible experience!!!!!

Got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict (the hollandaise sauce was DIVINE) and the kahlua banana french toast (was ok, but not too sweet which was great). Went during Saturday brunch time (11am) and the line at the front was daunting but moved quickly (only waited maybe 10-12 minutes) and we didn't have to wait at all to find empty seats. Also ordered hot chocolate - yummy! Went back later for an iced latte - also yummy!

We had reservations for 7:00 on Saturday night and we arrived a little early, but they were able to seat us. We sat outside and thankfully they had heat lamps.
The service, the ambiance, and the food were on point! We started with the tuna cones which were delicious! For dinner we had the ravioli and the salmon dish...both were so delicious and beautifully plated.
Definitely recommend Toma and we will make this a "go to" when we return to Santa Barbara. | 2021-11-29 00:31:00 | 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 |

We got the bbq chicken pizza... solid 4/5.... Only docking it one point because I'm a saucy girl and the pizza was not saucy. Obviously that is just a personal preference, I just didn't feel that the bbq was presented as much as chicken/ cheese ratio.
We also got the calzone- the price isn't on the menu but it's BYO. The calzone was HUGE. Def could feed two. The crust is great... i wish the veggies were chopped a little more? They came out in long pieces. But none the less it was good! Huge portion of veggies/meat too. It really filled the calzone.
Both were delicious. I will definitely try the Nutbelly again! | 2021-11-29 01:47:28 | Nutbelly Pizzeria and Deli | 915 Linden Ave | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.398644 | -119.519186 | Delis, Sandwiches, Italian, Pizza, Restaurants |

Absolutely love the subdued tomato basil.... It's my FAVORITE. I've had a lot of bagels in my life, but this one takes the win. Soft. Seems like they are baked every morning. Never ever had a stale one. Always have gotten the veggie cream cheese- delish! Portions of cream cheese varies daily. Sometimes I pull my bagel apart and there's cheese on both sides, then sometimes there's cream cheese on both sides.... If you're like me, ask for extra cream cheese to be safe.
I've tried the garlic bagel- those burn easily and everyone I've had the garlic is kind of burnt so I don't recommend that
My husbands a huge fan of the jalapeño cheddar (it is actually spicy) and the blueberry bagel.
Today we got actual bagel sandwiches and I don't think there is any turning back.... They were SOOOOO GOOD. The egg'l is to die for. The bacon one is absolutely perfect, egg, cream cheese.... Freaking delicious.
My husband got the protein one and he loved that one as well. I usually don't like bagel sandwiches but I LOVED this one.

Great food, taste very much like American seafood place.clam chowder served in a cup was delicious. Special uni was super fresh, the sea urchin was still moving on the plate. The lobster roll was pretty good, very different than previous lobster roll ive had before. The meat here is still in clumps compared to like a lobster salad roll, it was good. Shrimp taco was surprising good, usually don't like fusion food but the sauce is good, love the cabbage. Clams was steamed well but small, and also taste frozen. I do not think the clams were fresh. The shrimp/rice dish was okay, very sour. I think it would be better if it was creamier. The seafood bread bowl was okay, good if you like bread. But I think i prefer seafood pasta if marinara sauce is used. Overall good place for experience! Their fish tanks is dirty tho. I tried taking pictures of the lobster and crab. Cannot see anything. | 2021-11-29 03:27:08 | 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 |
ATKGbagMvYBjNm5liml7wA | 4DyMRBKrokax6d8LCI3GAw | 304FY8qhcOpm9SIkrzmhoQ | 5 | My family and I were seeking out a restaurant that was open for an early dinner or Happy Hour before 5 pm. Surprisingly, not as an easy of a feat in downtown Santa Barbara as one would think! I had been wanting to try Reunion Kitchen + Drink since it is the "new kid in town" with a stellar location. I had heard positive things through word of mouth and via Yelp. Best Bonus: They happened to be open all day!
Since several of my family members were visiting from the Midwest, I was also excited to have spectacular sunset views of the Channel Islands given its location right on the beachside boardwalk.
Upon entering, they did a nice job with the renovations of the historic Cabrillo Pavilion that it is housed in (lower level; upstairs is a rental space). The size of the restaurant is much smaller than I had expected. One third of the restaurant is an outdoor patio with heat lamps. Since they didn't have same day reservations available via Yelp Reservations, we just showed up. They had an indoor booth that sat five of us but were accommodating to bring a chair for the sixth. Our waitress--who sadly I don't recall the name of--was extremely welcoming and attentive. So much that they accidentally made an additional cocktail and gave it to the table!
The majority of us shared a bunch of "Snack Plates;" all of which were perfection! These included:
- Coconut Shrimp: Nice and crispy without being over cooked, paired with a crunchy delicious Thai Peanut Salad
- Short Rib Sliders: Nice comfort bar bites with a soft bun hugging crispy onions, marinated pulled short rib, and horseradish kick
- Avocado Wontons: Satisfied all senses of being colorful due to greenery and watermelon chunks, crunchy, and all-around fresh plus healthy
- Miso Garlic Noodles: My least favorite item that I would not recommend; instead go to Oku for their butter noodles dish. This one was over miso'd causing it to be soft and soggy
- Handcrafted Cocktails: All were fan.flippin.tastic! While the prices are quite steep ($14-18), they offer a variety of unique mixologist-quality drinks of all liquors. Thankfully they had a decent amount of booze to offset the price (in comparison to the Rosewood Miramar). We particularly enjoyed Strawberry Lemon Drop, Jalapeño Margarita (if you love some spice) and Sunburn.
I was surprised to learn that Reunion Kitchen + Bar is a small California chain with locations in Anaheim Beach, Laguna Beach and now this one. Given this fact, I was not too shocked that everything from service to food was spot on. Yet, it still says a lot since it is sooo shiny new. Nice work Reunion!
My one criticism would be to have more dessert options since it was limited to two types of cupcakes; neither of which sounded appetizing. I definitely plan to reunite with friends for their weekday Happy Hour served 2-6 pm (side note: menu in Quick Tips)! | 2021-11-29 03:31:03 | Reunion Kitchen + Drink | 1118 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417019 | -119.668975 | American (New), Restaurants, Salad, Burgers |
ERpAICrrPODnfJflxmYT3A | QZL4XXDVu1IBgjbHkp6kqw | 2bxZhBk8JZkJ1GqfTB0cUQ | 1 | Very sad to write this review because I used to love this place. I ordered a Cajun pasta and it tasted sour like vinegar, as if they had poured a whole bottle of Tabasco. I double checked and asked to see if it was Cajun sauce and was reassured it was. I asked if I could get something else because it didn't taste like Cajun sauce. The lady went to ask the manager who said I could buy a new meal with a 10% discount off. Not sure who taught them how to fix a meal.... I had barely eaten it. I asked for a side of sauce because they wouldn't take it back. They brought me a side of Alfredo sauce and it tasted worse. It tasted putrid and awful.

Everything was wonderful. All the dishes was nicely flavored. The grilled Spanish squid was delicious, love the little pasta balls on the bottom if it. Very interesting taste, i love it. The lasagna was very hearty and meaty, great portion. Everything was nicely portion for the price. The truffle ravioli is seasonal i think, had a bit of butternut squash taste to it, fabulous.

I will say, I think they are understaffed and overwhelmed. It's completely understanding as most businesses are experiencing the same thing during / post pandemic. We got in line to order and it took almost 30+ minutes before our sandwiches were ready for dine in. Within the time frame of us waiting and enjoying our food, we witnessed multiple angry customers giving workers such a hard time about their orders. We felt a little uncomfortable but understand staff is doing their best and people just need to be patient and understanding. With that, if you're looking for a quick in and out - this probably isn't your spot (right now) but if you have time to be patient - their sandwiches are great! | 2021-11-29 04:40:50 | Pickles & Swiss | 811 State St, unit E | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.419602 | -119.70015 | Delis, Gluten-Free, Fast Food, Salad, Sandwiches, Restaurants |

Our server forgot our beverages multiple times (we had to ask two additional people until we finally got water - whole other tables seated after us were getting their drinks order). The seafood stew we ordered was tasty, but I had mouthfuls of small broken shells. However, my husband's seared ahi tuna was bang on!

I have a gluten allergy and I had so many dishes from Lilac that I haven't been able to eat in years. I highly recommend their puff pastries - don't miss their quiches! They are heaven in a pastry. Orange chocolate scone is absolutely delish, as well as their bread loaves and fruit tarts! We went back three times in 24 hours when we first stumbled upon Lilac.

Food was decent, though personally feel the lobster role at Broad Street Oyster Company in Malibu is better. Here, the lobster role is served cold with mayo. Shrimp ceviche was just ok - needed more flavor. | 2021-11-29 04:49:42 | 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 |

My husband and I shared the coconut shrimp (5/5), the wings (4/5).
I ordered the Moroccan salad with prawns. Salad was very good, maybe one of the best salads i had. Slight problem with the prawns being too salty and i wish i said something about it. Mixing it with the veggies helped masking the taste. Would definitely order it again tho!
Hubby ordered the cheesesteak sandwich and it was amazing!
We ordered the butter noodles for our 1 year old and it was too bland, i would suggest adding a little bit of salt and maybe having an option with cheese since the Parmesan doesn't melt?
The service and staff were really nice but we were first seated on a super small table on the side, the baby was in the stroller even tho we asked for a high chair (i assume we didn't get one for lack of space). Everyone kept bumping into us and i had to move multiple times to make space until a server was nice enough to move us to a bigger table.
I would totally go back, just wish they had a better option for kids pasta and not so salty shrimp :D | 2021-11-29 08:51:17 | 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) |

I don't mind waiting but they don't have a way to text or buzz you so you have to hang around to hear your name. However, when I arrived, it was a 45 min wait & the hostess was really nice & told me that we could walk around and if we missed our name, we could be put back at top of list so we could enjoy the beach across the street during our wait without stressing out. Zero parking so my boyfriend did spend most of the wait time parking lol
I wish I could remember the name of our waiter as he was super cool and attentive!!! And the outdoor seating view was super gorgeous!!

40vrPho5ZPY-lOrioMnSmg | itWw0l4PObx_DZz9QArYtg | tyt3pz0x3ZB8GXsSx1a9Aw | 1 | We ate here on Thanksgiving Day. It was a disaster. They seemed like they were missing staff but the wait staff said they had brought in extra people. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation at 5:15 and could not get the person's attention- she was shuffling receipts like there was something wrong and ignored us, although we right in front of her. When we were finally seated (they first tried to seat us at a table for 6 in the middle and we knew they would add others to the table), we were seated in a booth and ignored. I finally got up and ordered drinks from the bar. After having wait staff pass by our table a number of times, avoiding our attempts to talk to someone, we were finally able to speak to one of the waiters. When the waitress came over, she said she didn't know she had our table. The food was okay - at least it was warm but nothing special. Not enough dressing- a couple of tablespoons. The pumpkin pie had caramel sauce but it was cold - not crackly, just kind of congealed. It was weird. Easily the worst dining out experience of 20 years of T-day dinners, pretty much the worst dining out experience in the last 20 years. We paid the full bill. | 2021-11-29 14:55:56 | Roy | 7 W Carrillo St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.421075 | -119.701956 | Restaurants, American (New) |

We reserved the restaurant in advance but when we arrived we were told that half of the menu items weren't available to order!!! How do you take reservations & not have food to serve?! It was a 8pm reservation on Thanksgiving & we couldn't go anywhere else since most restaurants were closed or booked. Ended up eating there only. Couldn't pick anything that we liked. Ended up ordering what was available only. I asked the server in the beginning if I should order the Apple pie with the dinner as well in case they run out but she said it would be ok but guess what! when we finished our dinner that was gone too!! Pretty disappointing experience on our vacation.
We were seated outdoors & told they don't have heaters for our table. Mind you this was a cold night & reservation was made for outside.
Only positive thing was our server. She was warm, friendly & very quick. She kept saying, "thank you for putting up with us". Hope they do better job on their inventory & service! | 2021-11-29 16:04:16 | Chase Restaurant | 1012 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.421931 | -119.702185 | Event Planning & Services, Restaurants, Nightlife, Caterers, Italian, Bars |

Beautiful setting with outdoor seating & plenty of indoor seating available to beat the heat. I ordered PSL & it was so delicious! Light, foamy & so yum! Loved their flavored orange whipped cream and their iconic red coffee mugs are just gorgeous to elevate your experience. My husband got a double latte which was good too. We also ordered jalapeño bagels, cinnamon rolls, & scones. They were equally delicious!

You place the order at the front counter where they give you a number & you self seat. Drinks & food was brought to the table by the servers. Drinks were great & food was delicious. Everything came quickly. We ordered Nachos & guacamole (not pictured), chicken Fajitas plate, tostada salad, & yum mushroom tacos with garlic & red chilies!

My half Mexican husband always says he judges a Mexican restaurant by their rice and beans. If they don't do this well, they aren't legit. He and the rest of us in our party completely agreed that the rice and beans are legit here. The main dishes were also superb.
Drinks - great cocktails. They even let us order drinks and brought them outside to us while we were waiting for a table.
Wait - for a Saturday night around 7pm, we only had to wait about 20 minutes. Not too shabby at all.
Service was wonderful. We had no issues. | 2021-11-29 18:04:33 | Santo Mezcal | 119 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.413456 | -119.691322 | Latin American, Restaurants, Mexican, New Mexican Cuisine |

It is more of a wrap and has some fries inside too (authentic street deliciousness!) The fries were crispy and abundant, the service was excellent and they even provided some complimentary samples of baklava and hummus with house pita chips. I felt like the shawarma and house condiments were slightly less flavorful than I had hoped and added some hot sauce to give it a little kick. I have read and heard the falafel and shawarma bread are excellent and look forward to returning here. They owners were so welcoming and I love this middle eastern lunch option.

The staff couldn't be nicer, service is outstanding, and I've never had a bad (or even mediocre) meal here. They also have the best espresso martinis in town...Some favorites:
Breakfast:
- Rose
- Sunrise Surprise
- Any of their benedicts
- Stone Crab Claws (a special sometimes)
- Ellen Salad
- Any of their cheese / charcuterie boards to start
- Fettuccine mare e monti
- Fusilli Aristocratici
- Linguine al Gamberi

It is $18 for all you can eat Indian food with a vast selection. I love the chicken tiki masala and they even had a bar making fresh Indian street food called vada pav which is like a deep fried potato between buns with some spices and sauce. Indian food can get pretty pricey with rice, naan, and a main dish sometimes coming out to $30 so I definitely think the buffet is worth it. You may not get exactly what you want but it definitely satisfies the craving. The first time I went for the lunch buffet during the weekday and I felt like the selection was a bit smaller but this time I went on a Sunday and it was extremely busy with maybe 6 curry dishes. Overall the service was great and the food was great. I would like to try their drinks next time however it was $5 more to add a lassi. | 2021-11-29 18:38:16 | Masala Spice Indian Cuisine | 5796 Calle Real | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.441667 | -119.825761 | Vegan, Vegetarian, Restaurants, Indian |

RUyolnvOhCD7pPevY0t1IQ | NS0vADRgnj-CM1NPhi8XZA | TzNk1TcWLZn0JCpO83hBAA | 1 | What a disappointment this place is. My wife and I made a reservation for our one-night Santa Barbara anniversary getaway without the kids (11/26/21).
First: they seated us in the back room which was very brightly lit, empty except for kids running around playing, and next to what appeared to be a restroom. My wife asked to be seated in the main room, which they allowed. It was cute, but still too bright, no big deal. There were plenty of open tables and we made our reservations well in advance (off a personal recommendation), so why seat us there in the first place?
Next, escargot was good. Frankly, tons of melted butter on something is hard to mess up, but give credit where credit is due.
Then the rest: I was looking forward to a nice steak with the classic French sauce and potatoes. I asked the server his steak suggestion and he strongly suggested the steak frites instead of the filet. Thanks, I'll give it a try. It came out paired with cold fries; again, not a huge deal. It was topped with a weird avocado sauce (at a French restaurant?), but most importantly, it was tough, tasteless, and literally inedible. I embarrassingly had to spit out every other bite I took because it was just tough tendons.
I politely inquired to the server if I could exchange this for the filet, because as you can see, its really tough and just not good. He ungraciously accepted. I explained I'm looking for the classic French filet with the brown sauce over it and he said okay.
The filet came out. It was about one-inch thick, think Denny's steak. It was crusted with a peppercorn something that was not good and certainly didn't taste like any French filet I've had. It was so bad that even my non-red-meat-eating wife was questioning, like what's wrong with that?
So, I ate a few bites and not much of the still cold fries. The server eventually came back and shallowly asked how it was. He clearly had no real interest in the answer. I said it was fine and we both looked at my almost untouched plate. He walked away.
Here's the best part... check comes, they literally charged me the extra $3 or whatever it was price increase from the steak frites to the filet! I don't care about the $3, but the idea of this was just crazy to me.
So that was it, we paid the check and left. No one came to check on us, certainly not any manager, even after sending food back. The story to me is that they just don't care and have no pride in their service or food. My biggest regret is wasting our one-night away at this joke of fine French cuisine.
Edit: how selfish of me not to mention: my wife's salmon was so overcooked that it looked like cat food; she too had an almost full plate at the end of dinner. | 2021-11-29 19:30:33 | Stella Mare's | 50 Los Patos Way | Santa Barbara | CA | 93108 | 34.422504 | -119.65809 | American (Traditional), American (New), French, Restaurants |

They have a nice looking selection of food to go. We were looking for coffee/beverages to take with us down to the beach, and were a tiny bit disappointed that they didn't have any fun coffee drinks. Also, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it seemed like there was one guy busting his butt to get our order (one coffee, one iced tea, and a baguette) while two other people just kind of stood around. Hoping it was just an off morning or something, but it definitely took longer than it could have. I'll stop by again when I'm in the area and try out some of the other offerings, but I wasn't as impressed as I'd hoped to be. | 2021-11-29 19:49:18 | Carp Kitchen & Grocery | 4945A Carpinteria Ave | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.399296 | -119.519016 | Grocery, Restaurants, Specialty Food, Sandwiches, Food |
EmuXRsgeFznZBB_ZjD0F0w | -nlvzH2pSr8mTPahX1YIAA | r2IhvKZQ_wLR5mLBnPOilg | 5 | The Honor Bar is perfection. I'd highly recommend this spot for brunch or an early lunch if your in the area. Relaxing outdoor patio for people watching, delicious cocktails, and a fun "upscale" lunch menu.
Came here for lunch on Saturday and I'd highly recommend coming when they open for an early lunch. Everyone seems to be a fan of the outdoor seating, pretty small as they have about 7 tables along the downtown sidewalk. Easily a 30 minute wait minimum if you come any later then 15 minutes after opening like we did. For those wanting to dine for lunch the wait for outdoor seating was easily an hour. However, totally worth it.
The menu isn't huge but everything looked and sounded delicious it was hard to pick. For lunch they have a handful of appetizers and the majority of the menu is salads and sandwiches. The burger on the menu also sounded amazing and we noticed a lot of tables were going with burgers and sandwiches.
I went with the French dip and wasn't disappointed! The bread is fresh & the prime rib was flavorful and medium/medium rare like we asked for. You also have to add the horseradish sauce, totally makes the dish! A side of French fries hit the spot, got to love when they naturally bring spicy Mayo as a dipping side.
Another reason to come is for the cocktails. I tried "the crush" which was a super refreshing cocktail of vodka, muddled grapes, and basil. Added some simple syrup at my request for some sweetness and it was the perfect afternoon drink.
Service was also 5 stars worthy. Polite and friendly, we were checked on frequently but also left alone to chit chat without interruptions. Our meals came out relatively quickly despite the rush and I will say I was impressed with everything from the atmosphere, to the food, and to the drinks. This spot is on my list from now on! | 2021-11-29 20:16:44 | The Honor Bar | 1255 Coast Village Rd, Ste 101 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93108 | 34.421044 | -119.641903 | Restaurants, Sandwiches, Nightlife, Bars, American (New), Cocktail Bars |

We were asked to take our pet away, while we were having our food. That was disrespectful and insensitive.
They shouldn't allow pets at the first place if they consider them inappropriate and misbehaved.
Also, the food was bland. The pizza crust was hard. | 2021-11-29 20:36:04 | MIZZA | 1112 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.422807 | -119.703594 | Restaurants, Salad, Sandwiches, Italian, Pizza |

The beef tacos would good and the tortillas were as well. Ordered queso fundido which was a tad on the salty side but still decent. The atole was delish. Would have liked to get more sides of salsa. | 2021-11-29 20:44:13 | La Super-Rica Taqueria | 622 N Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.427943 | -119.687284 | Restaurants, Mexican |

I keep ordering the burrito but everyone seems to enjoy their food. The one piece of feedback would be the Spanish soup seems to change - from not too spicy to spicy. | 2021-11-29 20:45:43 | Benchmark Eatery | 1201 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423358 | -119.704777 | American (Traditional), American (New), Breakfast & Brunch, Restaurants, Seafood, Vegetarian, Nightlife, Event Planning & Services, Bars, Venues & Event Spaces |

The boot of beer was pretty funny, too. Having the parking lot was convenient considering parking can be a pain in the area. | 2021-11-29 20:45:57 | Biergarten | 11 Anacapa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.41339 | -119.68894 | Nightlife, Beer Gardens, Restaurants, Pizza, Hot Dogs |

The food was good - interesting selections on the menu and something for everyone, but it was pricey. We realized pretty quickly that it was definitely an older crowd...we're guessing it had to do with the particular band that was playing. I could see this being a fun place with the right band. I was going to give Soho three stars, but realized they don't deserve a lower rating just because I didn't do enough research.
I'd liken it to a Belly Up Tavern in San Diego. | 2021-11-29 20:52:52 | Soho Restaurant & Music Club | 1221 State St, Ste 205 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423798 | -119.705293 | Music Venues, Bars, Nightlife, Arts & Entertainment, Restaurants, American (Traditional) |
