Oh my sugary goodness, I'm salivating as I am writing this review. LOL. Portion size was quite generous for the price. I recommend eating them fresh! 10/10 recommend! | 2021-12-02 00:22:55 | Fernando's Churros | 827 E Montecito St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.424337 | -119.683244 | Desserts, Restaurants, Food, Breakfast & Brunch, Delis, Food Trucks |
I_QntOPor0itTsvrRoqTwg | VlOGj5YjxU5c8S5n-ChBPw | nYPzsOjvida-ne7swSPHpA | 5 | We ALWAYS stop here when we are in Santa Barbara because the food is so good. I usually go with the Pulpo a Las Brasas, an octopus dish that is bursting with flavor. The octopus is always perfectly cooked, tender, and salted just right. The sides it comes with complement the flavors and texture of the octopus - garbanzo bean hummus and salad with orange vinaigrette. My daughter ordered Camarones al Mezcal, a shrimp dish with a delicious creamy sauce and equally as yummy as my octopus order. Seafood is definitely not an afterthought at this restaurant; they take great care in preparing their seafood dishes. Their cocktails are amazing, especially the margaritas!! Service is always prompt and the servers are happy to offer recommendations | 2021-12-02 00:46:48 | Santo Mezcal | 119 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.413456 | -119.691322 | Latin American, Restaurants, Mexican, New Mexican Cuisine |
7l5qr6hKIqzc5dsh4KYPxw | wnQfKxYF2GIUex8jd6lugg | 4IqrY1mXK65HgrrgkpE-cw | 5 | One of the best Sushi Experiences I've ever had. It's a small intimate setting with young talented chefs who know exactly what they're doing. If it's your first time get the A5 Wagyu as an upgrade. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten. For cocktails go with the Pairings or the Lilly ponf. You will not be disappointed. | 2021-12-02 01:15:16 | Sushi | Bar Montecito | 1295 Coast Village Rd | Montecito | CA | 93108 | 34.421245 | -119.640407 | Restaurants, Nightlife, Whiskey Bars, Japanese, Bars, Sushi Bars |
cZEu_oS3p3ZV0ll1fa_zBg | 43U31EvPbXTjis_CFpm5zQ | PUDTWmMzevJdvsueEmnYqw | 4 | I really like this place. It reminds me of boba places in the South Bay and OC areas. It's also a nice spot for studying and the drinks are good. The only inconsistent things are their boba and customer service. I still think this place is worth trying if you're in the area! | 2021-12-02 02:29:43 | Hochaya | 7060 Hollister Ave, Ste 101 | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.431191 | -119.874063 | Restaurants, Food, Bubble Tea |
jKpTUzuBcdUpYIJO7GBCCw | e4A1LmX9QXhwnw7w138jBw | DqVpNtgFCP47n6frh-LREA | 4 | Talk about a hidden gem. This review is based on their taco Tuesday deal. $10 for all you can eat buffet of tacos, beans, rice, veggies. Homemade flour tortillas, juicy chicken, carnitas, and shredded beef. Thank you! | 2021-12-02 03:13:23 | El Paseo Mexican Restaurant | 10 El Paseo | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.420769 | -119.699168 | Restaurants, Mexican |
hqRf743TMLViFrq88HjDeQ | A0LJ9YNmtyd-3Bxl-zkG5A | i5C6RVgr03HSrgCl8oa1Fg | 1 | I'm from 2 of the most expensive areas in the US and this side salad and 14" pizza for $50 is ridiculous!! I'm not sure how anyone returns to this place unless they're drunk, stupid or a first time visitor. You're staff was awesome but I imagine you probably don't even pay them enough that they are able to eat here themselves. | 2021-12-02 04:16:49 | Patxi's Pizza | 515 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.417115 | -119.696243 | Salad, Restaurants, Pizza, Sandwiches, Italian |
jOfFMhmBTeKrlXBxgjysdQ | -heVK9UGHXcL-HyiLBfddQ | pUeTnGsnVi-H8RJ6prFFgw | 1 | This will be the 5th time I have gone here for crazy bread and they tell me that they don't have any. Pregnancy hormones are to blame for this craving. There is no reason why they shouldn't be out of their menu items all the time. Tonight I got lucky and had " the last one". I saw the cashier guy who had just counted back my cash, go straight to them with no gloves on and not washing his hands. As I waited two different customers came in to order some pizza, and the same cashier told them that they only have thin crust. Customer walked out. The other one looked and me and said that they are always out of items or they are just to lazy to bake them. I stood there watching the lady in the back prepare a pizza without gloves on. This place needs a new manager.... Oh and btw I did get my crazy bread and the breadsticks where harder than a rock ...... and cold.

Cha siu questionable, everything else is dank. Would revisit every other day if I were not a poor college kid. | 2021-12-02 04:32:32 | Red Pepper Chinese Food Express | 966 Embarcadero Del Mar, Apt C | Isla Vista | CA | 93117 | 34.411727 | -119.856795 | Restaurants, Fast Food, Chinese |

You know it's authentic when the chef mainly speaks Mandarin! Also budget friendly and super convenient. | 2021-12-02 04:34:48 | Red Pepper Chinese Food Express | 966 Embarcadero Del Mar, Apt C | Isla Vista | CA | 93117 | 34.411727 | -119.856795 | Restaurants, Fast Food, Chinese |
12uTYMl57LhdCgAgQBcbHw | 76jGHQrUADrCGpECQisOKw | VOcGcN0bvGU_nzxbJgR5jQ | 5 | Just wonderful. Julia was our friendly and attentive waitress. We ate outdoors and the maitresse d' was very kind in ensuring we had enough heaters to fight the misty cold. We had arancini, polpette, and a pepperoni pizza with basil and honey. Everything was fabulous. This place is special. Delicious food in a homey atmosphere. The pizza certainly equaled the best we've ever eaten. Highly recommended. | 2021-12-02 04:36:19 | Bettina | 1014 Coast Village Rd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93108 | 34.422562 | -119.651716 | Restaurants, Italian, Pizza |

Here I am, just a pig on a date with a smoking hot Bachelorette, Emma and let's just say....we felt the Heat of our Passion Central Location, great Communication, best vacation! Walkability is a MUST in my book...needless to say, they delivered. Are the sweet potato fries in the bubble bath together while drinking cocktails. The rest? History.

l4hxrIIxpBSgVeHa2MpkTA | g104_apL-HRXqZ83DYuMkw | EPkF-beh6gg_s3HtlAdfiw | 2 | I'm sorry to have to leave a bad review but this place was extremely disappointing in terms of sushi quality and EXTREMELY overpriced. The entire meal for myself (ONE PERSON) was almost $40 after ordering one roll, 2 pieces of nigiri, and a California roll. The flavors were off and just left me wanting much more. They also need to be more transparent on pricing for the rolls as it's nowhere to be found on the menu, they don't tell you your total when you're calling in your order, and the receipt isn't itemized. | 2021-12-02 04:42:44 | Goleta Sushi House | 5744 Hollister Ave | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.435917 | -119.824844 | Japanese, Sushi Bars, Restaurants |

Adam the bartender was AWESOME!!!! We would come back here just to see him again.

vLgVuZ2q24YPE50kQACNAg | 34qY1joYVC7-zVL_RAbOzw | 0c28ysQJ_M1fVToTFV-FWQ | 5 | I was skeptical due to the bone-in wing prices, but the reviews convinced me to splurge.
Kale Cirtus salad with Thai peanut bone-in wings (came with 3 wings) was incredible. Kale is fresh, whole leaf Kale. Oranges (cuties) were fresh cut, not canned. Tots did not really belong, but hey, it's a topping!
Strawberry Arbol Boneless boneless wings are incredible. Large, moist, and crispy boneless chicken + sauce on the side. Hot and worth it.
The Rodeo Fries were are as well. Crispy fries, tender Buffalo boneless chicken, chewy bacon. This should come with at least an option for blue cheese - not sure if this was overlooked on the online menu or just not an option. Will make sure to order a side next time. | 2021-12-02 05:10:12 | Wingman Rodeo - Montecito Street | 235 W Montecito St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.411709 | -119.696053 | Salad, Sandwiches, Vegetarian, Restaurants, Chicken Wings |
AIV7-a12bt6WDAYUvOm5cA | valndLpEbeOpIdKzWDYsXw | 4FdsX3MbkcdBRAr1aymF6A | 5 | Tonight's experience was divine! I met a friend there and we shared 3 dishes that were incredibly delicious. We were dining early so had the pleasure of learning about the history of the cuisine before it got too busy. That was thanks to the 5 star service we got from Bobby. He was friendly, knowledgeable and obviously enjoys being part of the La Paloma/Acme team.
I haven't had that pleasurable of a dining experience in a long time.
Really looking forward to going again soon! | 2021-12-02 05:11:58 | 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 |
bh33EkLpieJpqc7wY5tdtg | oflJ4dBt_EZHuOCqQL8QUw | MJI-bNIn3QDgiGggm9Wp1w | 3 | Good to support local community businesses.
Atmosphere: It was very cozy outside in the patio near the waters.
Food: I believe I was just hungry driving all the way from Los Angeles. The food was alright, nothing special.
01. Seafood Mac n Cheese: It was good and cheesy, my only issue is that they used the cheap small shrimps, I barely got and lobster or crabs.
02. Seafood Pizza: Same deal as the Mac n Cheese, also barely any sauce, I think a white sauce would have went well with the pizza. I loved the dough.
03. Fish Tacos: Portion could be bigger as far as protein goes, it was a bit dry for me and they should have had some kind of sauce or creamy aoli to go with this.
04. Clam Chowder: This was a little too thick for me, but it was decent, again nothing special.
Service: The service could use a little more attention to details, but what can you say when it's a bunch of high school students doing the work.
Tip: Probably eat out on the main strip instead? | 2021-12-02 05:51:53 | Moby Dick Restaurant | 220 Stearns Wharf | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.40921 | -119.685451 | Seafood, American (Traditional), Breakfast & Brunch, Restaurants |
Sx4VlqCJskGYMnIsm9AFyA | GX8yx48WihvpaOYWCG3L5Q | cZ6sHHLv7VSmuFSxP6sQLg | 5 | I was skeptical to try another Asian restaurant in IV as I'm so used to high quality, truly authentic Asian cuisine. Surprisingly this place hit the spot with their noodle dish! The Mala Tang dinner was perfect for me as it served a good portion size, warm, packed with flavor, & fit the description for what I specifically ordered on doordash. I truly recommend this, it was a perfect way to end my night after studying for finals! I'll be back to try other dishes. | 2021-12-02 05:57:13 | Lao Wang | 6530 Pardall Rd, Ste B | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.413272 | -119.85478 | Noodles, Restaurants, Gluten-Free, Creperies, Chinese, Asian Fusion |

(Kudos to Al Vafa). Stayed for much longer than we anticipated due to Guido's hospitality and excellent drinks and dessert pizza. Definitely going back for a full dinner experience.

Not only was the staff attentive and nice, but they sport a great happy hour everyday from 4-6 with some good eats and drink specials.

ddwhjrTKBT0HmBaEdCw8wA | -nlvzH2pSr8mTPahX1YIAA | cOoTIQ0RcudE1R5aRVZzdw | 5 | I love the garden market because it's a lovely cafe and breakfast spot that's misleading from the front entrance. When I first came here I assumed it was just a small cafe with a few tables inside, instead what I found was a lovely boutique and cafe with a huge garden back patio! Simply fantastic.
The food is typical morning bakery items and some hot dishes. I like to stick with a bagel or avocado toast. They also have breakfast burritos and sandwiches. I thought those were just okay but otherwise any bakery food has been great. A huge assortment of teas and coffees. Easy to please any guest.
From my experience the service has always been great and friendly. You order at the counter and any food items they'll bring to your table. I feel like the service is super quick here, I've never had to wait long for food and the outside is so spacious that even when they get busy they can fit many.
My other favorite thing about this spot is their small store/boutique on the inside. They always have the cutest little dishtowels! There the secret is out. Love all of the small home and garden goods. A great little treat to be able to shop while brunching. | 2021-12-02 14:17:12 | The Garden Market | 3811 Santa Claus Ln | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.406428 | -119.547282 | Delis, Restaurants, Grocery, American (New), Cafes, Coffee & Tea, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Food |

The service was very quick Arboles came out in about 5 to 10 minutes. The fruit was fresh and sweet. They also ask if you'd like to drizzle honey on top of the açai bowl. Which we of course said yes too! The balls were refreshing! And the serving size is quite large!

WyQbiZpcsq3DlsoNilmybQ | nPSgirkqGx1bAb6_W8bZWw | skY6r8WAkYqpV7_TxNm23w | 5 | This is an amazing little restaurant located right on the beach. Every seat has a beach view as all the windows are quite large. you have a wonderful view at the beach anywhere you are seated. We requested to sit outside which meant there was a little bit of a longer wait. But it was so worth it! It was a little cold and drafty to sit outside but between each table were warming heating lamps. Which were amazing! Our server was wonderful and he was very attentive and had great recommendations for the menu. The clam chowder was amazing! We also had the lobster bisque which was very good! The lobster mac & cheese was amazing! I almost passed up on it but the server said if you had to choose one dish, always go with the lobster mac & cheese. The pasta was al dente, not Soggy at all. It was one of the best lobster mac & cheese dishes I've ever had. They had a good amount of lobster in there while the pasta itself was able to maintain its form. It was not drenched in cheese but just had a wonderful and perfect amount on it. We also had a seafood pasta which had an amazing taste and great pieces of fresh seafood in it we also had the CIopanni, Which came highly recommended. This was a wonderful experience and we receive such great service. As per previous reviews, we did come early as there is a wait. We got there at 4 o'clock, ask for an outdoor table, and were seated by 5 PM. They do not offer RSVP. We just enjoyed our time walking around the beach and watching the dogs play on the beach. The server then gave us a phone call on her cell phone and let us know when our table was ready. | 2021-12-02 14:49:12 | Boathouse at Hendry's Beach | 2981 Cliff Dr | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.403257 | -119.743752 | Seafood, Restaurants, Hawaiian, American (New), Breakfast & Brunch |
XUmp52-Oi27oOKTms5AK6Q | nPSgirkqGx1bAb6_W8bZWw | vj6AetpADpHOYtMRZsXX3g | 5 | Small little parking lot in the back probably fits about six cars. You'll have to search for free residential parking around the area but the streets are very small and cramped. You order at the cashier register. And they have a large menu option. They also have a salsa bar that you can help yourself to. We order the Kearny Asada nachos and it was amazing! It was a very large portion and could be shared by multiple people. I had chosen it as my entrée and did not want to share it with anyone! Although I did give my husband a few bites! They used high-quality Kearny Asada that were taught on the nachos. They were not bits and pieces of leftover meat. The guac was fresh. They use black beans. And the amount of cheeses used was just perfect not too much that was overtaking the dish. My husband had the shrimp fajitas on a sizzling plate. Please be careful as the black sizzling plate it's quite hot! They had large shrimp that were well marinated perfectly cooked. The tortillas it came with were fresh and one of the best that I've had. This was a great experience to be had. The restaurant has multiple seating areas indoors and outdoors. And it's decorated beautifully. | 2021-12-02 14:56:50 | Los Agaves | 2911 De La Vina St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.437451 | -119.727383 | American (New), Mexican, Restaurants |

The first time I tried going there were some issues. I reached out to Executive Chef Jeremy, and he was extremely receptive and graciously resolved the situation. I really appreciate that he cares so much about customers' experiences.
I will certainly be back soon!

zdgrSLey1sjgin1XuNRCtQ | 3rYu-baIaiK6EkgHsHdZEg | bPVPZeqMuYtU_yGCb4P-jg | 5 | This noodle bar is located inside Santa Barbara's Public Market. We stopped by here and didn't expect too much. We thought it was another typical Thai joint that's a tad bit overpriced ($16+ for Thai boat noodles) but we were blown away!
We absolutely loved everything we ordered
-Thai boat noodles (you can tell the broth was made with high quality stock, so good!)
-Tom yum noodles (never had something like this before, basically tasted like Tom yum soup on dry noodle form. Would come back for this!)
-larb lettuce wrap (if you like larb this is the perfect app for you!)
-Thai iced tea (solid tea)

TsxffR9I77bqllt5jojlPg | 3rYu-baIaiK6EkgHsHdZEg | Qkg16mN-8QR66gjzg6gMyw | 4 | This was right next to our hotel and had plenty of open reservations so we came by here for dinner. We ordered:
-octopus $18 (loved this! The pork belly added a hearty flavor to the octopus)
-zafferano $28 (absolutely loved this, tasted like paella and had so much fresh seafood)
-split roast chicken $26 for half portion (half portion was still huge and definitely can be shared)
-cosmic thing cocktail $16 (way too sweet, a bit disappointed in the cocktails for the price)
Overall we enjoyed the food and would come back. Restaurant is right in front of the water so if you can get seated outside it's beautiful. Would recommend! | 2021-12-02 15:46:30 | Convivo Restaurant and Bar | 901 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417321 | -119.672226 | Bars, Mediterranean, Restaurants, Nightlife, Moroccan, Event Planning & Services, Venues & Event Spaces, Italian |

Since he is a strict Vegan, I had to do some research on restaurants that had a good choice of Vegan dishes. *Oliver's has entered the chat* First, I was surprised to see an *all Vegan* restaurant. The reviews and the menu looked good, so we made a reservation. Let me tell you how good this food is! Everything we ate was delicious! The staff was very welcoming and answered all the questions we had about what was in the dishes. Our waitress, Heather, was awesome (we even made sure we sat in her section when we came back a week later). Also, the restaurant itself is SO CUTE! Patio seating amongst trees, hanging lights everywhere, and lots of heat lamps. The music was great too. We loved it so much, we made a reservation for the following week before we left. The menu items we had amongst both visits: Brussel sprouts, Thai curry, Pad Thai, Braised mushroom ravioli, the Veggie burger, and the chocolate fudge cake for dessert. Oliver's is one of our absolute favorite places now. We just wish they had a location in OC. | 2021-12-02 16:29:30 | Oliver's | 1198 Coast Village Rd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93108 | 34.421334 | -119.644981 | American (Traditional), Vegan, Restaurants |

The restaurant was just a short walk down the street from our hotel, so we checked it out. He is a strict Vegan, so he was a little limited to what he could eat. However, the Irish Oatmeal (without milk) was the perfect option for him because that's exactly what he eats at home. I had the California omelet the first time and the American Breakfast (no meat) the second time. Both times the food was delicious! The place DOES get very busy, but the entire staff busts their butt and still remains friendly and attentive. Inside, it's pretty tight-packed for seating, but still worth it. I personally love the outside patio. Good weather and people watching. | 2021-12-02 16:35:34 | Jeannine's Bakery & Restaurant | 1253 Coast Village Rd | Montecito | CA | 93108 | 34.421043 | -119.64219 | American (Traditional), Coffee & Tea, Breakfast & Brunch, Food, Bakeries, Restaurants |

Reunion Kitchen + Drink fit the bill. Online there were no reservation spots available but a quick phone call and a reservation was made. It was a chilly, extremely foggy night, we chose to sit inside. Although in hindsight, sitting outside under the heaters would have been fine as well.
We chose a table in the corner, and it took a little longer than expected to be noticed, but once we were the service was great.
My husband and I both had the house salad and we agreed, it was one of the best salads we have had in a long time. I chose an appetizer for my meal, the ahi tuna avocado stack- phenomenal! My husband had the clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl- it was very good but could have been a bit hotter.
The only concern I have is regarding the indoor seating. Staff brings the food in through the main doors, which they keep open. The wind was from
The west last night so there was a direct line of breeze onto the tables in the middle. Sitting at one of those tables will prove to be uncomfortable.
Overall, i highly recommend Reunion Kitchen +Drinks. | 2021-12-02 17:45:03 | Reunion Kitchen + Drink | 1118 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417019 | -119.668975 | American (New), Restaurants, Salad, Burgers |

I'd never been here before, but was quickly won over by the pleasant outside eating area, and complimentary muffins. My boyfriend and I ordered breakfast burritos, and my parents ordered breakfast plates. The food took a while to arrive, and unfortunately we had to get our burritos in boxes as we were limited on time, the food was amazing. The breakfast potatoes were honestly the best I've ever had, and these burritos were HUGE and delicious. The staff did everything to make up for the food taking a long time. The effort was above and beyond, we will definitely be going back again soon! | 2021-12-02 18:52:30 | Chad's | 216 W Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.409941 | -119.692262 | Diners, Salad, American (Traditional), Breakfast & Brunch, Restaurants |

I swear by this restaurant whenever I want pho, I rather drive 13 minutes to come here instead of going to the pho place that is just down the road. I always order Thai tea, spring rolls, and Pho Tai (rare beef with rice noodle soup) and it's always sooo good. As well as they are very quick about getting your food out to you. By far best pho place in the area. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend! | 2021-12-02 20:29:10 | Noodle City | 5869 Hollister Ave | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.435791 | -119.828303 | Food, Vietnamese, Restaurants, Noodles |

This place uses local ingredients from places like the farmers market, local distilleries, etc. The waiter provided good service, but the food came out slow, a little too slow for our likings. The food was okay to me, it didn''t stand out flavor-wise, but I do like how they use locally-sourced ingredients. | 2021-12-02 20:41:22 | Convivo Restaurant and Bar | 901 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417321 | -119.672226 | Bars, Mediterranean, Restaurants, Nightlife, Moroccan, Event Planning & Services, Venues & Event Spaces, Italian |

The staff are friendly, service is really efficient. On our flirts visit and this time we had cheeseburgers with curly fries and a side of potato salad. My biggest suggestion is to make it clear if you don't want your burger well done. The menu says they are cooked "medium," but on both occasions ours was cooked well done, which for me really robs the meat of its flavor. Great setting by the way, and the breakfast menu looks terrific. | 2021-12-02 20:55:02 | Summerland Beach Cafe | 2294 Lillie Ave | Summerland | CA | 93067 | 34.421941 | -119.600232 | Restaurants, American (Traditional), Breakfast & Brunch |
pEJtzo9XV3PLX6YAQ7ejnA | t9n-rdtM8JzZLWtoeqU09g | EZc2myE2mYk2h9JK9qu8gw | 4 | Finney's crafthouse has an outstanding location; it's near the Hotel Californian and an easy walk from the train station; it's also just a block from the pier. It's well situated for people watching; you can simultaneously enjoy decent food and good drinks, with a ring-side view. The bar area is large and it's got lots of TV's if you want to watch sports with a brew or four ;-)
Long story short - the drinks are strong and the food is pretty good, but the service can be spotty, and they've got way too many functions that are single-threaded through the host/hostess stand.
Short story somewhat longer - let's talk about the bad stuff first:
1) I've been here twice now, and both times various service malfunctions caused cocktails and food courses to vanish and/or be delayed for unacceptably long periods. Management was gracious about making amends, but having these kind of mishaps on two consecutive visits isn't goodness.
2) The first time I came here I was meeting a friend who came in on Amtrak, and we decided to walk over and catch up over drinks and appetizers. There were lots of open tables both inside and out, but it still took more than 30 minutes for us to be seated. Why? They're single-treading everything through the host stand, so when someone comes to pick up or place a take-out order, the host/hostess is tied up and unavailable for seating tables. It actually took us 15 minutes just to get our names on the list of people waiting!
Now, on to the good!
1) When they are actually delivered in a timely fashion, all the cocktails I've tried here have been both good and VERY strong - there are Missouri Mules that don't kick half as hard ;-)
2) When you're interested in something small and tasty to wash down with your cocktail, the Bacon Cheese Tater Tots are an outstanding choice! The batter is tasty, they're fried perfectly and completely delicious! I suggest you upsize your order to a large - you'll be glad you did!
3) They've got several different burgers here, and all the ones I've tried thus far have been very good. They're all accompanied with a side of very respectable truffle fries. My favorite burger thus far is their Bison Burger. It's tasty, lean, and juicy, with a strong pleasant flavor that's not at all gamy.
To sum it all up, this is a great place to hang out with new and old friends (especially if you're not in a hurry). It's perfect for locals and tourist alike; the more you drink, the happier you'll be ;-) | 2021-12-02 20:57:39 | 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 have actually been here multiple times and one thing that stands out is the place is freezing. No attempt to keep it warm. Your plates come out of the kitchen warm but soon are very cold which makes for cold food.

hpVYzhm2K1igm6sUm41mWQ | 7GT3MQdxHy_ve_dGViUhuw | mMuvlDGcJrokNFd4ob9tcw | 5 | Beautiful and flavorful. Orion takes customer service seriously, and we appreciated how attentive and kind he was with my partner and me on our Thanksgiving weekend visit.
The pastries were just so gorgeous! I dove into a raspberry scone and was delighted. It was baked to perfection and had just the right balance of sweet to be really enjoyable. You know when things are just covered in sugar and they don't taste so great? Not these scones. I was impressed by the presentation of all their goods, but sadly I can only eat so much in one sitting, so the rest I have to try later.
Now onto the avocado toast. Everyone wants to be an avocado toast rock star. I have seen them with every imaginable ingredient, trying oh so hard to win your affection. But the avocado toast here is really scrumptious. It had some citrus that was a nice addition. Radishes are not my boat, but the few slices I had added a nice peppery flavor and I think that was brilliant to giving it more body. The bread itself was excellent, sourdough. The toast really is the thing, so I was glad they got that right. The avocado/toast ratio was excellent as well. The soft boiled egg was really done the right way. It bums me out when my soft boiled egg really is just a hard boiled egg. This was not that.
Now the mocha. Espresso drinks need a good espresso, but the chocolate is the featured element in a mocha. It should have depth and richness without being overly sugary. The mocha here was spot on, and though I tried numerous ones in the Santa Barbara and Pismo Beach area during my vacation, this one was one of my top two!
Lastly, the service. Orion was so attentive and took such good care of us, I had to ask his first name. He made us feel like we were special guests, and we only ordered a pastry and the toast to split, along with two mochas. That young man has a bright future, and my partner and I are grateful to him for his service! | 2021-12-02 21:13:10 | Feast: The Cafe at Field + Fort | 2580 Lillie Ave | Summerland | CA | 93067 | 34.419366 | -119.591295 | Restaurants, Cafes, Coffee & Tea, Food, Desserts |
mxKt8iEuuQPFFkCnAGo7MQ | HpSJp6pVyzFeYnup3qAXBQ | 304FY8qhcOpm9SIkrzmhoQ | 5 | We came here after Thanksgiving after I wasn't completely satisfied with Convivo for our Thanksgiving/anniversary celebration. This place would look beautiful if you came here in the daytime. It's off the beach and I can imagine drinking and eating as the sunsets, making this place a good date spot. We ordered the clam chowder, fish and chips, meat loaf, Mango martini, strawberry lemon drop, crispy fried calamari, crab and shrimp cevichi and weekend prime rib. They provided water jugs at our table so if needed, we could pour ourselves more water (they use filtered water).
The mango martini didn't have a strong alcohol flavor but had a slight white tea note along with mango. They also had a thick slice of mango in the martini. The strawberry lemon drop was light and you could see the strawberry puree.
The crab and shrimp ceviche was tasty. They use real crab and good sized shrimp and the flavors were so good that we asked for spoons so we could eat the ceviche with the juices (it was hard to scoop up the juices with the chips). The crispy calamari slices were HUGE! Their calamari are bigger than many other places, but they don't give you the legs. There tarter sauce was nice and tangy. We actually didn't have to use the lemon because the calamari was pretty fresh.
The clam chowder had a good portion of clams and was nice and creamy, although the wife said she could taste the flour, but I thought it tasted good. The clam chowder didn't have any sand in the clams. The Texas chili has NO BEANS, it's hearty and has nice chunky slices of beef.
The fish and chips come with the thin shoe string fries and thai peanut slaw. I liked how their slaw was not overly sweet, like a lot of other places. The fish was nicely fried and not fishy. They do have malt vinegar and tarter sauce for the fish and chips. I did wish they had another fish or more fish with the fish and chips.
The meatloaf is a mix of beef and pork. The BBQ sauce on top was a little too sweet for us. The meat loaf was nice and moist, and the mashed potatoes went well with it.
The weekend prime rib...wife only gave me a bite and refused to share the rest...so next time I'll have to order my own. | 2021-12-02 21:23:37 | Reunion Kitchen + Drink | 1118 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417019 | -119.668975 | American (New), Restaurants, Salad, Burgers |
fa-2Wb3kkeZwYz8pP0SiOg | UZvk5GxtlzORMk7X4x2dUg | -3AooxIkg38UyUdlz5oXdw | 5 | I've always wanted to try this place and finally got to for our date night. To be honest, the oldies music also drew me in this particular night. We sat outside near the beautiful patio area. I ordered a strawberry basil cocktail which was pretty strong. We ordered two appetizers, the fried calamari and the fresh steamed clams. For our entrees we both got the tomahawk steak, for my side I got spaghetti and marinara (unfortunately the photo I took came out super blurry and I made a rookie mistake of not taking multiple photos to choose from...ugh!). As far as appetizers go, the fried calamari was slight on the fishy side but the chipotle aioli was really good...it also came with the tentacles which most people don't like but it's my favorite part. The fresh steam clams was my favorite thing out of the whole dinner! When it first came out my jaws dropped because I could not believe how big these clams were(they seem to be quahog clams), the broth was perfect for me when it came to seasoning, it was not salty like most places tend to make it. I was also surprised by their garlic bread that came with the clams. The flavor was garlicky and not bitter, the bread was not too dry or overly toasted. Moving on to the tomahawk steak, it was cooked to perfection(I got mine medium rare), the seasoning was just salt and pepper(I have to give it to them for not overly making anything too salty). The side of spaghetti and marinara was also good too, normally I'm not the biggest fan of marinara sauce because it's usually too watery and bland but this one had actual depth, it felt like I was eating hearty bolognese sauce without the meat. The salad that came with it was a standard style dinner salad with your choice of dressing and I chose balsamic vinaigrette which I wasn't super fond of(too sweet for me taste buds).
By the way, the service was great and the waiter was amazing. So when they first brought out the steak the waiter also brought a glass of red wine to me and I was about to say we did not order a glass of wine but the waiter said this wine goes really well with the steak and that it was on him. So I tried the wine with the steak and he was spot-on!!
It was a wonderful evening with great service and food! And awesome oldies music to groove along with while eating and drinking! | 2021-12-02 21:29:55 | Chase Restaurant | 1012 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.421931 | -119.702185 | Event Planning & Services, Restaurants, Nightlife, Caterers, Italian, Bars |

The food was absolutely phenomenal- everything was very fresh and super flavorful. We shared the mezza platter - which was out of this world. The beet hummus was so good - as was the two other hummus' The flatbread was grilled to perfection- it was flaky almost the consistency of pastry. The smoked salmon- was excellent and the gem salad with green goddess dressing is a MUST! The service was super friendly- we ate outside in which is in a quaint setting. Everything was fantastic!

ewYBTv-KVjTpavJcrXrQtg | HpSJp6pVyzFeYnup3qAXBQ | -3AooxIkg38UyUdlz5oXdw | 5 | Came here for our date night. Originally we were going to go to another restaurant, but they were closed so we walked around until we came up on this Restaurants menu, and I was drawn in by the tomahawk steaks. We decided to sit outside where they had heat lamps for those who get cold easily and oldies but goodies in the background. We ordered the fried calamari, fresh steamed clams, and Tomahawk steaks. The fried calamari had to slight fishiness to it, so we had to add the lemon ( reunion has better calamari if you like the body only), but their chipotle aioli was a good addition. The Chipotle aioli had a little bit of smoke and not too much heat. The steamed clams shocked us because we were expecting tiny ass clams but these were ginormous! The broth in the clams were very flavorful without being salty, and the garlic bread was a good addition, so we could dunk the bread in the broth after we were done with the delicious clams. When the entree came out, my Tomahawk Steak was cooked to perfection, rare like I like it. The potato was just a potato, and the veggies -nothing spectacular,but the real star was the tomahawk steak. Nice, tender and juicy. Will note our waiter provided exceptional service. He would check up on us regularly, and he also gave my wife a wine enjoy with her steak because he thought it went really well with the steak, which he was spot on. | 2021-12-02 23:24:44 | Chase Restaurant | 1012 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.421931 | -119.702185 | Event Planning & Services, Restaurants, Nightlife, Caterers, Italian, Bars |

Well it's the BEST IMITATION MEXICAN FOOD out there and I just love it! I can eat it everyday if it wasn't so fattening! But it's so delicious... Before Covid, they're RESTURANT atmosphere was wonderful. I haven't been since Covid but take home works just as well for me! Anyway my Enchiladas Guadalajara w/ green sauce is excellent. I usually order an 8 ounce container of avocado salsa because I can't fill and take home enough of it in those little take home containers. And the huge serving of chips are outrageous! The helpings that you receive is enough to last you a few days. I can just go crazy over that food! The workers are very friendly, nice, and efficient. So if it's not real Mexican Food they got me fooled. Well if it's good enough for me, its definitely good enough for you. Definitely won't be disappointed! Please go and enjoy your food.

y2aDytWulIGKgtnJ2ti7Sg | XMF1CiP77ZgIgdG2qGT6zQ | 6EizP0XyqITuGZ8GZMI9Lw | 5 | My wife and I were on a much needed getaway this last weekend in Santa Barbara, California. While checking into our hotel, we asked the desk clerk for some dinner recommendations, and he asked if we liked Italian, which was a very big "YES", and he quickly suggested "Toma", which happened to be just 2 blocks up the street. We were excited to try this "new for us" restaurant, and after biking for quite awhile into the late afternoon, we stopped by and inquired about a reservation. The very polite man at the desk, told us that they were booked for the evening, but would make it work.
We went to our hotel, relaxed for a bit, and decided it was time to get ready for dinner. Upon arriving, we asked about availability, and the same man told us to give him a few minutes, as a table was just opening up. We did not wait any longer than 5 minutes, and we were seated at the best table (in our opinion), which was right by a small window at the front of the restaurant.
We were quickly greeted by Juan, and after some pleasantries, we ordered our drinks. Juan returned a few minutes later to ask about any questions we might have about the menu. My wife is a GM at an Italian restaurant in Corona Del Mar (Rothschild's Fine Italian), so she always has questions about how a certain food is prepared, and can fill me in on anything I am not familiar with. I must add, that being a GM at a restaurant, especially at an Italian restaurant, comes with much critique, whenever we got out ... Juan was very informative with his answers, and had some suggestions himself, along with letting us know that half orders were also possible ... for starters, she ordered the Little Gem Salad, and I had the Farro Risotto "AMAZING" ... for the main course(s), we shared the RAVIOLI, and the Rigatoni, and again "AMAZING". After much deliberation, we decided there wasn't enough room for any dessert, so after some friendly exchanges with Juan, we were on our way, back to the hotel. The next day, we were so impressed with the service and the food, we returned, and by the suggestion of Gabriel, we had the Margherita flatbread, and guess what, another "AMAZING". This time though, we had dessert, and decided on the Phyllo Crisp ... also "AMAZING". The moral of this story ... anytime you are in Santa Barbara, California, you must stop by Toma Restaurant and Bar, because it's "AMAZING", along with the very efficient service from Juan and Gabriel.

Food was very good, fresh and well prepared. Server was very professional. Constructive criticism....I would like to see more hot seafood appetizers (all were cold) gumbo was good but cioppino would be even better. The menu is kinda all over the place.

e58Q7tQG132Qdr8Uq-Rpng | ENm-kPLqGvbYIe3PcMSQ9g | PNVbv2kyUIHeJTDPis2gRg | 3 | I've been wanting to come here for over a year after a gentlemen on the street exclaimed, "Santa Barbara's best Mexican food is Los Agaves in Goleta!" Maybe I had a very high expectation after hearing this. It's a sit down place but one must order at the counter. So it's a half fast food/half restaurant experience.
Pros: lightening fast food, free parking, plenty of outdoor seating. Excellent sauces.
Cons: the enchiladas were hard and inedible because they were impossible to cut with a knife or to chew. No salsa's or pico are served with the chips. You receive a basket of plain chips and that's it. I think they must microwave to reheat their food? Why would the tortillas have a hard, leathery consistency like that?
I love their sauces and grilled meat filling, but that's about it. I wish I could have eaten the full meal I ordered but I had to eat the filling only, because the tortilla wasn't edible.
The food is plated delightfully and fulfills the visual senses. The food would be delicious if it was prepared in the right way.
Honestly, I will probably head to Carlitos for Mexican food next time because it's more affordable, delicious, and generous. I don't regret coming here to experiment, but it didn't meet my expectations. | 2021-12-03 02:34:23 | Los Agaves | 7024 Market Pl Dr | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.429533 | -119.872239 | Bars, Mexican, Nightlife, Restaurants |

Also got the pranquester beer and was toasty and awesome. Had a great time. Sat outside.

We ordered the mussels as an appetizers and they tasted off. The view wasn't as great as we thought it would be. We were sitting outside a door to the inside of the place that channeled a really strong ocean wind through the indoor dining room directly out to our table. When I told the staff we were freezing and asked they close the door they said they knew about the problem and said if they closed the door the kitchen would overheat. If that's the case, I'd think the owners wouldn't seat the table we were at (or just remove it), but profits over people, right?

The food can really be a hit or miss, but we went last weekend for my son's birthday and we all had a good time. Truly, you come to this restaurant for the views of the ocean.
We sat on the patio and our views were the best. Everyone was satisfied with their food, but like a lot of restaurants now a days, portions did get smaller. The service was awesome and they surprised my son with ice cream.
There's really something for everyone here, especially if you have people in your party that don't like seafood. Also a good place for people out of town that want to eat on the water at a reasonable price. | 2021-12-03 05:39:22 | Moby Dick Restaurant | 220 Stearns Wharf | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.40921 | -119.685451 | Seafood, American (Traditional), Breakfast & Brunch, Restaurants |

Done properly with a nice batter. The fish was not cod, which I prefer, but it was fine. Probably swei (asian catfish). Tar-tar and cocktail sauce were good. Fries fine, fresh and hot. Another had the pulled pork sandwich, with tater tots, which he reported was excellent. Fourth person had chicken wrap, which she liked. Overall good food for fair value.

The Mongolian beef was definitely the highlight for me. Everything else that we ordered was pretty meh considering the price. The inside also had a strong aroma coming from the kitchen/front of house that made me constantly cough while dining in.

The cashiers were both very friendly.
The restaurant was very clean as were the bathrooms!
The burritos, rice and beans are large and yummy but not authentic tasting nor the best but it's a decent meal.

On our first visit we we taken well care of by Juan and Stephan. Both making sure we had a fabulous table outside, and they were spot-on with food recommendations. It was a perfect night for cocktails, wine, and small bites, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Crispy Asparagus Spears, Avocado Won Tons, Crispy Fried Calamari, and Short Rib Sliders. And also good to see local Vintners Brickbarn, Jaffurs, Fiddlehead, Stolpman, and Dragonette on their wine list.
This is going to be an ideal spot for viewing the many beautiful Santa Barbara sunsets, and all from the comfort of the inside and outside dining areas.
Very convenient that they have parking on both sides of the Pavilion, and if there is ever a wait for a table, bring your bathing suit, surfboard, swim fins and/or snorkel because the Pacific Ocean is a mere steps away. | 2021-12-03 17:46:33 | Reunion Kitchen + Drink | 1118 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417019 | -119.668975 | American (New), Restaurants, Salad, Burgers |

sH76WZe8ZIDDYFV8xzbUKg | IDCVIPzpUCuT8Vwxct9jYw | 2N9WHETHcYJsfYpHQ-qN_A | 5 | My first review of Crushcakes was for the vegan blueberry scone, which let me tell you is super duper. Now, I've been coming to this location almost weekly for several months to study, and I'm updating my review--but not my 5-star rating. With a cute back patio, a customer loyalty punch card, and lovely vegan baked goods (cinnamon and blueberry scones and a variety of cupcakes) as well as full meals and fresh, hot coffee (be sure to ask for it in a "for here" cup if you're staying!) I'm crushing on Crushcakes.
This morning, employees Dana, Niku, and Katey were especially helpful. My small coffee with a splash of oat milk ($3) hit the spot in the chilly weather. As a vegan, I love the fact that Crushcakes doesn't upcharge for plant-based milks. My only critique is that the wifi is touch-and-go, especially on the back patio, and there aren't any exterior outlets. But with a fully-charged computer and digital text to read, the back is a great spot to get some work done or gather for a Covid-safer breakfast or lunch. Big picnic-style tables provide ample room for studying too.

We had a few different small plates including the jamon tasting (YUM) and shared a Paella as a main. The paella is perfect! And we didn't have room for it, but ordered and ate the churros as dessert anyway.

Followed by delectable fluffy biscuits and gravy with eggs, some of the best gravy around, and that's coming from a gravy snob. Large portions, great prices, and service was friendly and fast.

I have been such a fan since my first Orderville and have followed deep into Monster's Park: Mexican hot chocolate edition! Mostly IPAs and barrel-aged stouts but everything is awesome. The vibe here is amazing and can't wait to come back, the staff is very friendly but...I must say, the girl working the gift shop in the brown plaid was seriously the sweetest! So friendly and so helpful. If everyone had employees like her, their business would be much more successful. She was very personable and relatable and also had great selections to offer. She even gave me good advice on a hoodie and also a "road-soda" to take with me! Her words were, "the ethereal embrace is fun to say and such a great treat at the end of a shift." She was absolutely right! What a treat to sip, on the way back to OC. This location needs to do what they can to keep her around because she is EXACTLY why people return to places like this. Not just because of the environment but because of the people who make the environment great! I unfortunately didn't catch her name but she is a keeper!

We went to order at the counter, and the owner insisted we take a seat. He came by and waited on us, giving us suggestions and background information on the menu. We both got the chicken shawarma, which came with fries. At first we were both surprised how simple the dish looked (marinated chicken in a wrap, nothing else). But the flavors were delicious! The owner explained that this was a middle eastern style shawarma, as opposed to a Persian one, which they make fresh everyday in house with imported Jordanian spices. Highly recommend - we devoured them.
The owner also brought us a complimentary dessert - basbosa. It was a warm square cake like pastry with almonds on top. It tasted of honey and coconut(?), and was delicious! Great service, great food. The owner is clearly passionate & the food seems to be very authentic.
We will definitely go back to try more of the menu! | 2021-12-04 00:31:52 | Mr B Restaurant & Cafe | 140 S Hope Ave, Ste A102 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.436725 | -119.748687 | Food, Restaurants, Middle Eastern, Cafes, Bakeries |

We went on a Friday and by the end of the night it was really energetic and lively. Would 10/10 recommend! | 2021-12-04 00:40:26 | Biergarten | 11 Anacapa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.41339 | -119.68894 | Nightlife, Beer Gardens, Restaurants, Pizza, Hot Dogs |
OeE55NdLk-K1CMJ6cb6qww | eQlTpxVO12ZxGUAiolwNjQ | -3AooxIkg38UyUdlz5oXdw | 5 | Food is tasty and staff attentive. Inside they have a long bar with burgundy tufted curved booths. Outside is cheery with Xmas decorations. Portions are big! Lunch menu , prices are reasonable.
Traditional Italian cuisine. I've had their chicken piccata and another time, shrimp piccata. Both piccata dishes were delicious! My husband had their meat lasagna and another time the chicken Milanese. He enjoyed it!
Their strawberry basil vodka is sweet, more like a dessert cocktail.
Their tiramisu is delicious!
Outdoor seating is very nice and cozy! | 2021-12-04 01:56:35 | Chase Restaurant | 1012 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.421931 | -119.702185 | Event Planning & Services, Restaurants, Nightlife, Caterers, Italian, Bars |

I was charged for rainbow carrots at 3 times the cost of bulk carrots. Also, she charged me for the wrong type of pears, even though they had produce stickers on them.
Workers in produce and meat department were helpful and cheerful.
Beautiful market. Cashiers need more training. | 2021-12-04 02:36:25 | Bristol Farms - Santa Barbara | 3855 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.438145 | -119.749459 | Food, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Specialty Food, Delis, Grocery, Restaurants |

I had the Cioppino which was amazing!! My hubby for the halibut fish & chips which were good but after trying my Cioppino he said he wished he gotten that too!! My sister had the macadamia halibut burger
(She said that was ok but would try something else next time). Only thing missing was ambiance but we'll definitely be back | 2021-12-04 03:21:03 | Nikka Fish Market and Grill | 5722 Calle Real | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.44162 | -119.824096 | Restaurants, Fish & Chips, Food, Specialty Food, Seafood Markets, American (Traditional), Seafood |

Huge disappointment I won't return. Birria platter $16.95 to go with a side of 4 flour tortillas. One spoon of beans, birria dripping in oil and two spoons of rice, no chips. Tiny little portion and only got one tortilla. As hungry as I was I tossed it. I really wanted my dinner to be good and it was far from it. | 2021-12-04 03:51:12 | Taqueria El Bajio | 129 N Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.423238 | -119.681309 | Restaurants, Mexican |
EC58hRtZ6hzNA6cWRKVb7A | 4ZaqBJqt7laPPs8xfWvr6A | VAIOtbsxdNmuhUKkQZFRlA | 4 | My sis&bro suggested this spot for a casual weekday breakfast. It's nestled in a corner of a shopping plaza but has ample outdoor seating. The guy who took our order was friendly and my breakfast hit the spot.
I enjoyed a custom built breakfast croissant and a Chai latte. There were various baked goodies, omelets, and even lunch offerings available in the morning. I'm sure there is something for everyone at this little spot. | 2021-12-04 04:43:43 | Renaud's Patisserie & Bistro | 3315 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.439429 | -119.73589 | French, Cafes, Restaurants, Breakfast & Brunch, Food, Sandwiches, Bakeries |

Can't beat the view.
Of course we will be back. | 2021-12-04 04:49:52 | Reunion Kitchen + Drink | 1118 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417019 | -119.668975 | American (New), Restaurants, Salad, Burgers |

We had the most amazing artichoke appetizer, chilled with mint, shaved reggiano, with lemon (I think). So good. Then we had the Fungi pasta dish with a cream sauce and the most amazing bits of spicy sausage. A few food glasses of vino, and perfection experienced.

Everything here is absolutely fresh, authentic and delicious - from the appetizers to the pastas - entrees to desserts. Loved the outdoor seating for lunch - heaters were available, but not even needed today, December 3rd:) There is also a lovely bodega attached to the restaurant - stocked with amazing Italian treats to take home : olive oils, Italian fruit juices, spices, spreads, etc. | 2021-12-04 05:39:24 | Olio E Limone Ristorante | 11 W Victoria St, Ste 17 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.422997 | -119.704522 | Restaurants, Italian |
DF6hMwwXn3MaWfrI12dzXg | 2Ajwle6egT9nWq2VaTVxiA | 6EizP0XyqITuGZ8GZMI9Lw | 5 | I absolutely love Toma. The delicious food, the amazing staff and service, the classy ambiance, the prime location...
First off, the little finger food brought out from the start is so tasty; the house bread with soft salty butter and the cheese-stuffed fried olives? I couldn't get enough.
The tuna cones are SO GOOD! Honestly the best appetizer I've ever had; it was a delicate crunch of sesame encasing a soft flavorful tuna concoction. Complicated yet simple, and absolutely YUM.
The salmon was spectacular; so flaky and tender, perfect atop the bed of pillowy soft polenta. The tomato, shallots, and flavorful clams distinguish this salmon from any other I've ever ordered, and were simply delightful.
And the rigatoni? Wow. We couldn't finish it fast enough! Saucy, cheesy, the meat cooked so well and packed with flavor... wow. Love it here. Special shout-out to Celest for being the sweetest hostess!! She is so helpful and accommodating, you'll be blessed with a good night if she's there. | 2021-12-04 06:30:19 | 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 |
VoVjm1Uz7d8s2BlC-fpy1Q | j9N1Yjj6IdDKiBXV6aOXeg | vi5xjfEhV6rnXrC_GbdhnA | 4 | I used to come here for many years and just recently returned. It is one of the very few good sit-down Mexican spots in town that doesn't require a wait. The burritos in particular are large and delicious. They also have a comprehensive menu with fajitas, shrimp dishes, and more.
The service is excellent and it's a great place for families, as they have a nice kids menu and a friendly vibe. I also appreciate the location in the back of a quiet shopping center.
My only criticisms are that their ranch dressing is not good - tastes suspiciously like hidden valley ranch from a large Costco bottle - and that they serve their plates at roughly 2 million degrees. Seriously, warm them if you must, but nobody needs a plate that hot. I don't get it. If they changed it, I'd definitely give them my 5th star. | 2021-12-04 06:35:30 | El Rincon Bohemio | 4141 State St, Ste F1 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93110 | 34.439423 | -119.761667 | Mexican, Restaurants |

zQoBWX-d3LCZpcuFoyHGmQ | a1bpVbVebfFTrcY4-_GBPA | 9kfN12wVGnKo54AaRjz0vQ | 5 | For me the most important factor is how good the food tastes... that is #1
Then pricing compared to portion.... #2
And their cleanness..#3
If all this factors are above satisfactory then I might over look other small factors..
The food is amazing, I can eat twice with most of their dishes and that equates to pricing (two meals out of one dish) the restaurant is cute and clean... I love eating here multiple times during the month. | 2021-12-04 12:55:37 | Guicho's Eatery | 901 Linden Ave | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.398536 | -119.519302 | Restaurants, Desserts, Sandwiches, Food, Italian |
wmM2AkhYyqpUJiXeDtTZuQ | wOTdl2-n1NGE4-qn-qzDVg | ZRy4atrG3YHdb__qtE0FsA | 5 | Love Mulligan's, we have used this restaurant for years. The food is always great and the price is very reasonable. The only issue that we have is that a group of 6 or more is on one check. In the future we will not eat with a group of 6 or more, it created a major issue last night on figuring out our bill between credit cards and cash. Sad that we will not meet our friends there for dinner in the future. | 2021-12-04 16:55:42 | Mulligan's Cafe & Bar | 3500 McCaw Ave | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.436179 | -119.738382 | American (Traditional), Event Planning & Services, Caterers, Restaurants, American (New), Cafes, Sandwiches, Breakfast & Brunch |
fJWlw-ywhUfEJyWN7QS5Aw | Yfyv0j-TQhOHtmSC0F9nrw | U2hkeMI-q4cS35QolJYN0A | 1 | Arigato has gotten consistently worse the last decade as its popularity/busy-ness has exploded. Our sushi plates were unimpressive and the fish low quality. Our small plates came out randomly and were often too cold or piping hot (microwave?). The server was sweet but trying desperately to sell us on ordering more more more, while not knowing anything about the food except for item names. Weird experience as well as being reminded multiple times about a 90 minute dining limit. The dining experience would be just if the bill was 1/2 the price. | 2021-12-04 16:57:05 | Arigato Sushi | 1225 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.42385 | -119.705477 | Restaurants, Sushi Bars, Japanese, Asian Fusion |
