They play country music, great bar food service drinks & sports. We had brunch and loved it. A terrific locals spot where you feel at home & comfortable. A+ Bringing cowboy hat next visit! Feels like you're visiting Salinas Rodeo!

dYMVd8e_8a5cj7wouPl5bg | QYhJwBL92U15WYIBMhN9Uw | Y57sylYCgq2VQJuBCnjPfA | 5 | Oku was one of the best sushi places I have ever had the pleasure of dining at ever! The fish was incredibly fresh, it melted in our mouths and was a sensuous experience for the palate. We had salmon, tuna, toro, blue fin and hamachi. We had salmon roe with quail egg which was like a party in our mouths, the flavor absolutely exploded! We also had mackerel. The service was incredible, the waiter could not have been nicer and made recommendations which never steered us wrong. Oku should be a must stop dining destination if ever one is in the SB area. On top of the food being spectacular, we also had a gorgeous view of the ocean and the patio was spacious, well lit and warm. Overall an incredible dining experience! We will be back! | 2021-12-21 22:12:56 | 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 |

Ian3jlYNFRkkBZj4jdMZpQ | 7_fQpc6bF9tHktt4CXedeA | 2xxkaRy7rP5EUyjFt2J5kA | 4 | Nikka is probably the best ramen spot in the Santa Barbara area. Not up to LA or OC standards but is good and will satisfy the craving. Veggie ramen is really creamy and delicious; I'm impressed with their veggie broth! This is my go-to ramen in the area when I feel like driving to Goleta.
My only complaint on this visit is that they were playing pop dance music and I felt like I was in IV when all I wanted was a relaxing environment to eat my ramen at on a cold night. | 2021-12-22 01:55:42 | Nikka Ramen | 5701 Calle Real | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.440885 | -119.823523 | Restaurants, Japanese, Ramen |

SrfvXLmno2UEDKpM4nMBjA | WWnhqRnWWjutMqh-2SzEuQ | fVUurZgbWXzp2QzDzJzmpA | 4 | We ordered lunch from Pickles & Swiss on Thanksgiving Day after realizing quite late that we had nothing to eat in the house and that our usual lazy restaurant options were closed for the holiday. (Odd tidbit: it was our second sandwich lunch from a place with "pickles" in the name in two days--we ordered from Three Pickles the day before.) We were grateful to find that Pickles & Swiss was not only open but delivering. Our sandwiches were satisfying, and they tided us over until Thanksgiving dinner.
I got the spicy crunch baguette, a solid sandwich with crispy chicken, pepperjack cheese, avocado, spicy coleslaw, and sriracha aioli on baguette. I liked the slight kick and the combination of textures, though I could've used meatier pieces of chicken and maybe a crustier bread. My husband liked his prosciutto and brie, which came with with tomato, basil, apricot, and butter on ciabatta.
Pickles & Swiss appears to be a regional chain and based on its holiday availability, I'm guessing it's well staffed and reliable (I do hope they pay gobs of overtime). I'd order again if we needed sandwiches sent to our door. | 2021-12-22 02:17:33 | Pickles & Swiss | 811 State St, unit E | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.419602 | -119.70015 | Delis, Gluten-Free, Fast Food, Salad, Sandwiches, Restaurants |
XyzxIpxHTRRxro95Tfgg7w | LNPV-lFQc0AzyxMykU6c3A | AV3XPH1iv8PKSO6mrnYgLg | 1 | my friend and i had made reservations to experience the "miracle of christmas" at pearl social. unfortunately we left incredibly disheartened and disappointed.
our reservations were at 5 and we arrived at 5, the second group in line. no one was sat in the bar yet. first group had a lovely table in the middle of the space. us? we were sat in the literal corner of the place next to the kitchen and supplies. there were plenty of open tables in the main seating area. hell, we even would have been happy to be sat at the bar.
but no. despite us having reservations, being on time, being dressed up ... it was not enough for us to be treated the same as the other people that came in. we stayed maybe 30 minutes before leaving and going to another bar that always treats us equally.
my first time to pearl social and my last time here. i've had plenty of great experiences at every other place in the funk zone, i would avoid this place at all costs. | 2021-12-22 03:31:10 | Pearl Social Santa Barbara | 131 Anacapa St, Ste B | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.414445 | -119.690672 | Bars, Cocktail Bars, American (Traditional), Restaurants, Nightlife |
LvVWA2s7UpFxYzruMRJVVA | g2X7KYVwTcsrqM51AZhdiA | v5jxpGnKbx3vVxs28dgokQ | 2 | I had a craving for Asian food and this spot seemed to be the only spot available in the near vicinity. Ordered a few basic things such as eggrolls, springrolls and filet mignon entree. The food looked promising in its packaging. I wanted to have a clean slate when eating Asian food in a not so Asian area but of course it does not live up to standards. I have had good and great Asian food. It's all over socal so this fell quite far from expectations. The rolls were meh and that's a pretty basic dish. The filet mignon dish is actually a pretty basic Vietnamese dish but they turned it into an Asian beef stir fry. I would give it a 1 star but the people were so nice and the place so inviting. I will steer clear of Asian food in this area.

TUjlyA_S9kAck9GzZFusoQ | lSzlOXGM2T1UkhPK0FYFsg | AV3XPH1iv8PKSO6mrnYgLg | 1 | truly sucked. we arrived early, got told to wait outside, when we came back on time, my friend and i immediately got sat all the way in the back by the kitchen where we felt like we couldn't see any of the decorations, while there were many, plentiful, amount of chairs/tables for two. it was truly upsetting. everyone that walked in through the door after us got better seating and nobody was sat anywhere near us (not due to any covid regulations, trust me). I got home and told my boyfriend that in all of the years I had lived in SB I had never, ever felt this way or been treated this way. | 2021-12-22 05:05:01 | Pearl Social Santa Barbara | 131 Anacapa St, Ste B | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.414445 | -119.690672 | Bars, Cocktail Bars, American (Traditional), Restaurants, Nightlife |

Well, nice, cozy, comfortable, and hip environment with authentic Mexican decor to enjoy delicious Mexican dishes offered here!

YNpjhKPLTegGa56wh7n3Og | okQk18sBugld62F7IEWE_A | tthy48ZIX_wfY8Dy0Dvg6w | 5 | Came here for my birthday yesterday with my parents and east enough to say, this is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I made a reservation with them a couple of weeks ago and told them it was my birthday. Upon arrival, we got seated and it was decorated with flower petals and a card. Opened up the card to find a happy birthday message with signatures from the restaurant proprietors.
The service was amazing as my parents ordered hot water for drinks and I got regular water. They made sure to refill without us even asking. A waiter happily helped take pictures as well as telling me happy birthday throughout the night.
Food wise, I ordered the duck confit. My mom ordered the wagyu ribeye steak (cooked medium), and my dad ordered the lobster pot pie. The duck confit was alright. The main cut was tender and with the sauce, it was pretty good. The duck leg however was a bit dry in my opinion as opposed to the Chinese roast duck. The vegetable plating and taste with the duck was really good though so I did enjoy that. My mom loved her steak as she absolutely devoured it. It was cooked perfectly. I did get to try a piece and it was so tender and flavorful. Then I tried my dad's pot pie and the top puff pastry was perfect. You could see the layers of the expanded puff pastry which told me the puff pastry was done well. (If butter melts during lamination, the puff pastry doesn't rise as well.)
For dessert, we ordered two Creme brûlées and their seasonal lemon tart. I usually make really amazing Creme brulee and this restaurant has been the first to almost hit my own recipe I use. Their Creme brulee was creamy and the glass sugar layer was crisp which told me the torching was done after I ordered it. The smoothness of the cream however could probably be improved. It felt like someone strained it once which did make it smooth but given my own is silky smooth, it could have been strained a second time. That said, I am aware of time limits and all. So for this restaurant, props to being the best Creme brulee I've ever had in a restaurant. The lemon tart itself was really good too. Sometimes lemon tarts can be overly sour but this one was well balanced. It wasn't really sour per say as it was more lemon flavored which was perfect. The tart shell crumbled perfectly as well.
All in all, a really awesome night at Bouchon so props to everyone in the staff for making it a really wonderful night! | 2021-12-22 15:49:38 | Bouchon | 9 W Victoria St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423983 | -119.70586 | Seafood, Bars, Wine Bars, American (New), Restaurants, French, Nightlife, Mexican |

My wife loved her avocado toast (add egg), but the absolute standout is the banana Kahlua French toast. It has become among my favorite breakfast and dessert dishes and must be shared with the world.

They have more than just sushi, so there's something or everyone if someone in your group isn't a fan of sushi. There is rarely ever a wait, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. This place is great because you get great food that won't break the bank. I recommend the crunch roll. They have beer, wine and sake options. The quality of the food has never disappointed me. It's a staple in my Carpinteria restaurant rotation. Happy customer since I started coming here ten years ago.

-ntAhrzNd-F54UvygRG8ww | 9uTysypqImdsxJDlBXz_Ag | 06pNHtxgPhGhZpM0Z2uzNw | 4 | So, so, so excited to have new chef and brand new menu. The favorites from the old still remain but they have been kicked up a notch in flavor. It was such a pleasant surprise and long overdue.
I get the Korean chicken wings. I can honestly say they are the best at Hollister and now the chicken comes juicy, not dry, and tons of flavor.
I love that Hollister makes their own dressings. I do like getting a salad every once in awhile.
My hubs was actually pleased with the change and finally enjoys eating there. We will be there today!
Hollister is conveniently located in a large shopping area and has an array of beers they brew right in the restaurant. Full bar and some wine to choose from.
Hollister has been a staple with my family and we are so happy there's a new menu. Give it a try!! | 2021-12-22 17:25:43 | Hollister Brewing Company | 6980 Marketplace Dr | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.429498 | -119.871137 | Restaurants, Food, Breweries, American (Traditional), Brewpubs |

It was an AMAZING quick decision. We dined here on a Monday night and it was PACKED. Came to quickly find out that it's always packed. Reservations are weeks out and only bar seating is rarely available. The hype is 100% worth it. Ambiance, food, services was all impeccable. Jessica, our server, was phenomenal. We traveled to Spain pre Covid and she helped us pick out a few traditional favorites and even put together a special vermouth tasting after we told her it was one of our favorite parts of Spain. It's one of the best meals we have eaten in years. We started with the dates, jamon, Manchego cheese and pan con tomato. For main course we had the short rib. So luck to have randomly made reservations!

Came in next morning for quick bite to eat. Ordered pancakes, eggs over easy, banana bread, coffee, and a shot of espresso. Coffee was nice and bold for those who love coffee! Espresso was a hearty portion size! Pancakes were thin and tasty, eggs were cooked just right! Dining room was spacious, clean, cozy, and ritzy! Staff was courteous and friendly! One thing only, they needed to refill hand sanitizer dispensers, but I carry my own spray wherever I go. Rooms are comfy, clean, and lots of lemon trees and greenery everywhere!

We walked in and was immediately asked if we needed help with anything despite there being a number of parties in the store. When we said we were picking up, the employee quickly grabbed our order while we continued to browse their selection because EVERYTHING looked amazing.
Most of their Baklava is pistachio focused, which isn't my favorite, but it was still really good. The walnut one was amazing. We ended up eating one a day for a week, and they all held up pretty well and stayed pretty flaky and crunchy.

Huge selection of different types of food, good cupcakes & chocolate cake, Arnold Palmer unlimited refills, friendly & efficient staff! Delicious salads the Gorgonzola walnut is classic. Their Saturday special Jack Daniels ribs & fries with Dijon are phenomenal. Best ribs in town with Carlitos. A terrific spot where you'll always know what to expect. The wraps are delicious as well. Pretty sure they have largest, most diverse salad selection in town. Their Ahi club is all worldly see photo. French club sandwiches are so half assed.

Pn936jIX1soH16jfcCezVA | WWnhqRnWWjutMqh-2SzEuQ | UBK6zb5-XUETfVzYkRTj1Q | 5 | We went to Lab Social for a couple rounds the night after Thanksgiving and it was everything we wanted from a bar at that precise time, and honestly, any time. We'd been thinking of hitting one of the bars on State but decided it would be too crowded at 10:00 on a Friday night, and took the chance that this place, more out of the way on Haley, would have fewer customers. We were right. It was the perfect atmosphere--not dead, but comfortable and quiet. Service was excellent, and we were able to seat ourselves where we pleased, at a table by the entrance (it was a cold night, and this shielded us from the draft whenever the door opened).
Lab Social feels like the kind of super-serious speakeasy-style bar that isn't terribly fashionable these days, but I'm always into good cocktails in a calm, attractive environment. These were fantastic, and relatively cheap for this kind of cocktail ($12 or $13).
We started strong and boozy, thinking we'd only stay for a nightcap, and got the Solstice Negroni and the Twisted Old Man!, one of a handful of house old fashioneds. The negroni mixed Fords gin with strawberry-thyme Campari and strawberry-rhubarb sweet vermouth, the strawberry--including a slice for garnish--adding a nice layer to the bitterness of the drink. The Twisted Old Man! was a lovely old fashioned variation made with Rittenhouse rye, Ferrand cognac, earl grey gomme, orange bitters, old fashioned bitters, orange essence mist (I honestly think this is just what they call expressing an orange peel over the drink), and an orange peel.
We liked our first round so much we ordered another, going back into the lighter, more refreshing part of the menu. The Hemingway in Sandals was an excellent tropical drink with plantation rum, rhum agricole, grapefruit, lime, pineapple gum syrup, Maraschino, and Peychaud's, with a slice of dried grapefruit clipped on the coupe with a clothespin. The Churchill Sour was a bright, delicious bourbon cocktail with Evan Williams 100 proof, lemon, earl grey gomme, black walnut bitters, and orange essence mist, served with mint and a cute little rose made of lemon peel.
We're in Santa Barbara pretty often these days and have been exploring the bar scene much more than we do at home, where we don't have a grandparent to stay behind with our sleeping baby. Lab Social is one of the best spots for cocktails in town, and I look forward to going back for more outstanding drinks in that peaceful bar. | 2021-12-22 20:25:55 | Lab Social | 414 E Haley St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.421338 | -119.690365 | Bars, Tapas Bars, Cocktail Bars, Restaurants, Nightlife, Speakeasies |

They're very attentive to their store, wiping the floor by hand and just organizing everything. Their convenience store was packed full. I finally found the ramen I've been looking for. I also ordered some food at their restaurant and it's so delicious. I'm not an expert on Korean food I just watch a lot of kdrama but they're so good! I would definitely drive an hour to order some more. We got there at 10 cuz that's what it says on yelp but they opened around 1045 instead.

Portions have definitely decreased. In the two chicken dishes we ordered the chicken was so dry, so overcooked that it was inedible.

Ordered mine toasted and asked him if it was toasted when he handed it to me (because I didn't see it get toasted) and he lied to me and said it was. This place sucks.

If you're dining at night, choose the greenhouse seating. They have string lights all over, making it a wonderful experience. It's still indoors, and heated so we did not feel cold even in December. The service was excellent and struck up a conversation with our waitress that also previously lived in the SF bay area. The food was excellent and pricing was so affordable.

We got a bottle of wine to start, very crisp and light. Then for appetizers we ordered a dozen oysters which came in fresh from Baja, CA. I love that they provided a large amount of lemon, hot sauce and this amazing house made sauce. I could have eaten 100. One of the best selection of oysters we had. The quail and side salad was phenomenal. Just watch out for the little bones.
For dinner, I got the halibut which was so rich and tender I could barely scoop it up. It was very flavorful. Bae got the filet and potatoes which was cooked to perfection. We got a side of the cauliflower and it was the perfect side.
We opted for the chocolate mousse cake since chocolate is my favorite but to be honest wouldn't recommend. I wish they would expand their dessert menu but overall great night sitting by the water! | 2021-12-22 22:11:03 | Angel Oak | 8301 Hollister Ave | Santa Barbara | CA | 93117 | 34.434163 | -119.920204 | Restaurants, Seafood, American (New), Steakhouses |

Cu9HWGEY_qdjaMAQKgdNPw | kvxLuNOpR0oE8PaUAUKbfg | 27zlxlmlQu9KBr5Vj4MGeg | 3 | Okay I have a love hate relationship with Pickles and Swiss. They make REALLY good sandwiches, but they don't seem to ever have their s***t together. If you order to go, don't go pick it up for at least an hour. If you go into the store, also expect at least a 30 minute wait. I don't eat cheese and often I'll order a sandwich without cheese and it will have cheese on it, but today I ordered my new go to(which doesn't have cheese on it on the menu) and out of the blue they actually added cheese to it. So there we go another 15$ sandwich I can't eat :) I will say though, when they're on their game their sandwiches are really good and that's why I keep going back even though it's hit or miss | 2021-12-22 23:21:35 | Pickles & Swiss | 7060 Hollister Ave, Ste 102 | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.431135 | -119.874289 | Delis, Sandwiches, American (New), Restaurants |

We usually sit indoors but we were seated outside because we didn't have a reservation. They accommodated us and we were seated right away. It was a nice evening outside. We felt cozy & toasty from the heater above us. Our server was friendly and attentive to our needs. What made our evening even better was the food. We ordered duck and the wagyu steak. They were both juicy and tender. The seasoning and sides complemented the meat.

ovAmObvEb2MhGKEpTlEy9A | RIN3cVCCVQ91z5xbt84wGw | fVUurZgbWXzp2QzDzJzmpA | 1 | I stopped in to grab a sandwich quickly. I was the only customer inside and it took 45-55 mins for 2 sandwiches. I am so stupid for waiting this long for a sandwich which I ended up not being able to eat. The tuna salad has peppers in it which I am allergic to. It is not disclosed anywhere online or IRL that their tuna salad has peppers it in. Totally devastating ruined my entire drive back down the coast being hangry and nauseous.

With a full menu of choices
I had the opportunity to try this place
Recently
And here is my thoughts
Customer service, okay... no issues
I sat inside since outside was on the cool side
Not to mention it was the day for cleaning trucks
To make their appearance
Had a nostalgic feel to it
Noticing the inside decor.
Only thing missing was the mobsters..
Food wise...
I'm going to look at this review with a different perspective
We will incorporate price.
For the price that is offered, 3.50 per slice.
It's going to be hard to beat this place
If you are on a budget, looking for pizza
Without the extra amount...( a whole pie)
They do a good deal
You get up to three ingredients too
Considering taste..
It's pizza ladies and gentlemen.
I wasn't disappointed
Nor did I find my taste buds sending signals to the moon
I simply sat in my chair enjoying the pics on the wall
Along with the grey Santa Barbara afternoon.
I got pepperoni, sausage and olives as my three choices
I didn't find the ingredients to be authentic
The sausage was okay, ( better if browned by itself and added)
pepperoni standard,
olives canned
But what they do have they utilize well
I still have more items to try
The location is as prime as it gets...
Smack in the heart of downtown
I will say,
While sitting down eating
I noticed different populations of people
Coming in to order
I payed attention to how they were treated
And watched as they got their orders to sit or walk away
Everyone was happy,
Decompressing over the hustle and bustle
rooted in the holiday season
While seated inside, we all ate as one family
Until the last bite..

8cAEh4kqT-uBHdzCHm0lHQ | IDCVIPzpUCuT8Vwxct9jYw | TeUEijNG9w8m2fNaE7J1TA | 2 | Low-star reviews aren't fun. That said, after trying TAP for lunch today I can say that the food was bland and uninspiring for both my friend and I. She ordered the drunken noodles with chicken. The noodles were undercooked, ridiculously long, and unevenly coated with the thick, mostly flavorless brown sauce. Not a trace of wok hei to be tasted (the 'sizzling wok' flavor imbued into properly cooked wok dishes.) There wasn't even a pleasant spiciness to the dish.
I had the green papaya salad with coconut rice. Or at least, that's what the menu called it. Really, the rice was more like white rice with some coconut cream on it, and a few black sesame seeds. The green papaya salad was basically just shaved papaya and some julienned carrot. No peanut, hardly any chili, no tomato, and only a couple of long beans in a basic lime dressing. A sad excuse for an $12 meal, which came to $14.73 after tax and tip. Only the dried chili I asked for on the side saved it for me.
While the bathrooms are gender neutral (win!), the interior is sleek, and there is a patio space which we took advantage of to catch a few rays of winter sun, none of these made up for the lackluster chow. @Lily Z. mentioned that the branch on Upper State is like "Thai food for people who don't want too much spice and flavors." That's what this location was like for me. Did we order wrong? Maybe. But in my book, every dish should be tasty. | 2021-12-23 02:38:43 | TAP Thai Cuisine | 7060 Hollister Ave, Ste 106 | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.431147 | -119.873774 | Thai, Restaurants |

I bet there are better restaurants than this here in Santa Barbara. All 6 dishes taste mediocre, and I'm not a picky eater. Had a fly in my water and another insect crawling around the table, and the waiters did basically nothing about it. Was asked to move impatiently by a waiter when another group of people tried to sit next to us.

aKZ1ui96FrVbKobk5-r0Ig | WWnhqRnWWjutMqh-2SzEuQ | IRyKDIF51M0GcqS8yfPcYA | 4 | Mesa Cafe is a cute, homey neighborhood diner in the Mesa. I went for the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend with my husband, toddler, and in-laws, and it was a great spot for a casual lunch, where we could park freely and walk in with three generations of diners.
The place was busy but not overrun, and we got a corner table right away with booth seating and room for a high chair. The baby was immediately supplied with crayons and a kids' menu--his first time getting crayons at a restaurant, and he definitely made use of them. He also enjoyed looking around at all the other tables full of families, as well as the colorful surfboards on the walls. Both the atmosphere and the service were cheerful and welcoming.
I was happy with my food, too. I ordered the chilaquiles rojos and added tri-tip, and this was a good, hearty meal. The chilaquiles were tortilla chips smothered with red sauce, topped with two eggs (I got mine over-easy) and served with guacamole, sour cream, feta cheese, and green onions. Solid, and while the tri-tip was nothing special, it did add some nice heft to my lunch (I do tend to want meat when it isn't there).
I wouldn't go out of my way to go to Mesa Cafe, but it's the kind of place I'll probably go back to because it's pleasant and convenient. I liked my chilaquiles, my son liked his crayons and grilled cheese. We all left pretty happy with the experience. | 2021-12-23 03:37:20 | Mesa Cafe | 1972 Cliff Dr | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.40222 | -119.7228 | Restaurants, Bars, Breakfast & Brunch, American (Traditional), Nightlife |
9h3rjKgCTtU20Nj5TVF4qA | MdQxcbmxMsG5PWMm_qi3IQ | EPkF-beh6gg_s3HtlAdfiw | 2 | So, I saw the reviews and thought I'd try this place and honestly I was quite disappointed.
(This is a takeout order, I went in, ordered inside and waited for the food)
The nigiri + sashimi pieces from the chirashi were WARM. That is never a good sign for sushi.
Next the tuna sashimi actually smelled very fishy which means it was past its freshness date, the rest of the fish pieces (salmon, hamachi, albacore) were tasteless.
Even the rice was bad and it's difficult to mess up steamed white rice.
I ordered ikura nigiri and the salmon roe was brown, not orange like they naturally are...but brown. The wasabi wasn't spicy either, so it might've been mixed with something else or just past its expiration date.
I do have to say I've a high standard for what I consider 'sushi' and honestly this was below average. I'd enjoy $13 wholefoods sushi much more and would not have felt apprehension to finish the order.
The chirashi came with miso soup which honestly just felt like it had been reheated from the day before because the wakame in it was not green but closer to overcooked. And tbh the miso taste was quite faint.
I also ordered a small saporo beer to go which was great!
Didn't finish eating bc it was just not appetizing, so for $75 + tip it's not worth it. | 2021-12-23 03:45:54 | Goleta Sushi House | 5744 Hollister Ave | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.435917 | -119.824844 | Japanese, Sushi Bars, Restaurants |

RFL6Vmb7k_AdULumQNKgsg | kY2U_CdDP0Y01eExoGiI0A | -9r8nAzWyRSLxBWt8uQOdA | 1 | I was extremely disappointed pickup up my order from Hana kitchen on Dec. 22nd around 8pm. I ordered a half and half regular plate and received just chicken. I thought I'd give it a try since I didn't want to go back out in the rain. However, the chicken was cold, dry, and burnt. They lady at the counter seemed annoyed by explaining what I ordered. We changed the order to beef and she gave it to me open and said "is that okay?". She has bad customer service so I was already unhappy. Btw, I also called like 3 times to see if they could have the order ready but no answer. I took a bite of my food before taking off again the beef was cold and thick. I've had Hana before and the meat is usually super thin. I went back for a 2nd time and the lady was already talking shit to the cook in the back and made me wait for her to come out. She told me they can't give me another plate, no refund, and wouldn't fix or change the food. She made it seem like I was the problem. She blamed it on the cook being "new". Overall, I won't be going to this location again! They said they were closing and won't be cooking new food. By the way, the close ar 11:30pm so she was either lying or they are okay with serving cold food. | 2021-12-23 05:21:31 | Hana Kitchen | 6558 Pardall Rd | Isla Vista | CA | 93117 | 34.413252 | -119.856465 | Vegan, Asian Fusion, Bubble Tea, Restaurants, Japanese, Mexican, Tacos, Vegetarian, Food |

Starting with the amazing staff (Ricky was helping us and he is super friendly and sweet), drinks were awesome and the food was delicious!!! So many flavors and amazing seasoning. The meals are really big, we were not expecting that so we had to skip the dessert. So if you are not too hungry, maybe is a good idea just share a plate.

Saw this place online on a youtube video, and decided to check it out. Live uni and oysters are available weekdays 12-4pm. Live uni $14, usually 5 pieces in each. Flavor can vary uni to uni, but all super fresh, and generally more mild and sweet. Also got some calamari and oysters, all super fresh and delicious.
This is probably one of the more unique destinations you can visit if you are in the area, and would recommend making a detour and checking this place out if you are in the area! I'd also recommend grabbing some food at one of the places next door as well to balance all the richness from the uni uni uni. | 2021-12-23 05:45:55 | Santa Barbara Fish Market | 117 Harbor Way, Unit A | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.403749 | -119.693561 | Seafood, Specialty Food, Seafood Markets, Farmers Market, Restaurants, Food |
RAI_0MQ2WZRv2AfCh1S0uA | 9L5RsVYJoLN2G0ZpWQiB9A | SZU9c8V2GuREDN5KgyHFJw | 4 | Great location, but chilly during the winter.. Ordered the live uni, cioppino, and coconut shrimp. The best part was the large Cioppino served in a bread bowl, which was made to order with super fresh seafood and a good tang to it. Hands down best item I had here. The coconut shrimp was fresh and had a good flavor but felt like something I could easily get elsewhere too. Seasonal crab bisque was solid too.
Live uni was just ok. If you have time, I'd recommend instead stopping by at the other side of bay to get life fresh uni on the shell from the fish market.

I ordered a vermicelli bowl with tofu, and my partner ordered one with soy chicken. We were excited to see some vegan options, but were quickly disappointed. The tofu had no flavor whatsoever. The soy chicken had a horrible texture and looked like octopus. There were stale peanuts in both of our bowls and the peanut sauce was really yucky. There were too many strange sensations in the food, including some stale lemongrass. We both had to toss our food as we couldn't finish it. | 2021-12-23 10:10:09 | Noodle City | 5869 Hollister Ave | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.435791 | -119.828303 | Food, Vietnamese, Restaurants, Noodles |

I love it for so many reasons. First, the decor is so cozy. I love the rich wood tones and deep green tile on the bar. When I'm sitting with my drink, it's important to like what I'm looking at because it will make or break my vibe. The design and ambiance here were one of my favorite things. But my second reason was my drink of choice, I had the espresso martini, and I couldn't stop talking about it. My fiancé had to hear about 74 times how perfect this drink was. I wish I could explain how perfect it was. I can't. But it was. I will never come back to Santa Barbara and not come back for it, it was that good.
Finally, the bartender David was fantastic!! I hope Shaker Mill doesn't lose him because he was a lot of the experience. He remembered us and our drink order the second time we came in, and we had only ordered a drink or two and not been there that long. Nothing like hearing "welcome back!" when you've only been somewhere once. We never had to wait for a drink, David would check in on us regularly, and also took care of all the other patrons deftly as well. Aaaaaannnd he wrote a list of places for us to see while in town. Talk about going the extra mile! I will be back for sure. Specifically to say hi to David and enjoy my espresso martini! | 2021-12-23 16:19:10 | Shaker Mill | 418 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.416438 | -119.69477 | Cocktail Bars, Bars, Restaurants, Breakfast & Brunch, Nightlife, Seafood, Cuban |

From there - the waitress "forgot" to mention that the special was very spicy and I don't eat spicy food... she then proceeded saying, "I didn't know it was spicy and I don't know what to do for you." I thought it was the wait staff's job to know the specials, and if something goes wrong - shouldn't people try to apologize (she didn't), and try to make up for it? Then, the check wasn't right twice... I think, this is enough for a poor review. We ended up not eating any of the food as it turned out to be not a fun experience as it should be. Julio, the manager, did take some of the charges off, but again, his staff didn't apologize and this shouldn't have happened to begin with.

We were late to our reservation for 30 min as we got lost and they were forgiving about it. The restaurant has a parking that's a big plus given it's hard to find parking around it. They took us to the upstairs patio with a wonderful view. The food was great too. It was a cold night so when other guest left, the brought 3 heaters for our party of 4 ( plus 2 kids).
My toddler ordered a chocolate cake for desert. The servers told us afterwards that they made it themselves as the cooks had left, not to disappoint my little girl. We had a lovely time with our friends that we hadn't seen for ages. All the staff wore masks properly which was another plus for this restaurant. | 2021-12-23 18:58:15 | Bluewater Grill - Santa Barbara | 15 East Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.412758 | -119.688965 | Seafood, Venues & Event Spaces, Cocktail Bars, Restaurants, Nightlife, Breakfast & Brunch, American (Traditional), Event Planning & Services, Bars, American (New) |

So, accommodating to serve us 25 minutes before closing all courses including dessert. We even added another appetizer at the end. We shared our food tapas style and experienced each dish. All dishes were excellent and unique except the risotto was something you can experience in another restaurant. Here's the order of our favorites:
- sea trout seared only outside on top of a curry salad noodles
- cauliflower with some sweet sauce, chilies, cilantro
- duck confit crispy outside tender inside
- bone marrow appetizers on bread that melts in your mouth paired with pickled pear (my husband's favorite)
- profiterole with chocolate, vanilla, and caramel sauces - perfect (my daughter was scooping the plate clean)
Their dishes all have very strong flavors. Sometimes a bit too salty for me. Just need to drink more water.

rl3x_5sPTLls8ZcvZh4_2A | t9n-rdtM8JzZLWtoeqU09g | i5C6RVgr03HSrgCl8oa1Fg | 5 | I haven't been to the Windy City in quite a spell, but Chicago-style deep-dish pizza is still rooted deeply in my DNA; I get periodic cravings that need to be satisfied. The first time one of the cravings hit me in Santa Barbara, I consulted Yelp and was VERY excited to see that there's a Patxi's location right here on State Street!
I've been to a couple of Patxi's locations elsewhere, and have remained a fan every since. In my book, the deep-dish pies made here are every bit as wonderful as many made in the Windy City :-)
Tip: It takes 40-45 minutes to for them to bake a Deep Dish "stuffed" pizza; I suggest your order your pie first thing, and get an appetizer to keep you from expiring while you wait ;-)
My friend and I came here for an early dinner one Saturday afternoon. We decided on the type of Pizza were were going to share (a small Deep Dish "Matt Caine"), ordered it, and then got an order of garlic bread and some beers to get us started.
The garlic bread and the beers came out in just a few minutes. The bread is baked using Patxi's signature dough, then topped with garlic herb oil and served with house made marinara. It was outstanding! We inhaled it, then nursed our beers and order a 2nd round before our pizza arrived.
After almost exactly 40 minutes, our pizza was served, and it was nothing short of AMAZING! The crust was perfect - buttery, flaky, with exactly the right crispness. The sauce was tangy and tasty, with a subtle kick that made me smile. Their toppings are generously applied, with the taste of the cheese and the meat blending wonderfully - I think I fell in love all Patxi's all over again ;-)
The ambiance is laid back and relaxing, the service is friendly, and the pizza is the unquestionably the best of it's kind I've enjoyed so far in 2021 - you KNOW I'll be back! | 2021-12-23 20:18:31 | Patxi's Pizza | 515 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.417115 | -119.696243 | Salad, Restaurants, Pizza, Sandwiches, Italian |

The first has to do with having good, dedicated loving friends and family. The second has to do with Lure's almost premier attention to the details of food prep, food presentarion and the vagaries and trials and tribs of service.
We sat at the seafood bar and received good service from Mr Nathan.
We ordered:
Bottle of Rodney Strong Chardonnay which is delicious from strong Peach, pepper and Lemon overtones. A very complex wine and one i drink often.
Crab Cakes
Full of a luscious mix of i think Dungenous and Snow crab bound together with seafood seasoning, mayo and lemon, parsley: grilled perfectly with a strong char and served on a platter of corn salad. ( i liked these so much that i i ordered the app as my main entree).
Shoestring Fries
I mention these only because they wete hot, super crispy and righteously salted when hot so the salt sticks to each fry.
Let's be clear: ftying baking, grilling Fish is no picnic. Doing it right is hard. Yet both the Mahi Mahi and Salmon were prepared almost perfectly.
The Mahi Mahi was probably grilled for the char and to set the seasoning then finished in the oven. The finished MM was silky, luscious and more importantly moist.
The Blackened Salmon is a throwback to the groovy 80"s but my sister is also a product if the 80's.
Be that as it may the salmon sported a tasty, very peppery crust forged on yet the flesh underneath was almost perfectly pinky-orange and mostly moist. Both fish dishes included a potato cake redolent of garlic and onion and a good dose of seasoming: salt, pepper and thyme.
Good time at The Lure: i was pleased big time with my bd lunch!
Cheers!

I've never written a review before in my life but publicly posting this online seems to be the only way I may be able to get the attention to fix this issue.
When we first got to the restaurant we had already politely expressed to the manager that we were disappointed that it was such a frustrating experience to book a reservation, as it took 15 days emailing back and forth to secure a reservation. If this were the only issue I wouldn't even be writing this because we quickly moved on and had a great time with good service. The food was amazing and our server was friendly so I'll give credit where credit is due.
We said it was our friend's birthday at some point to the server, but we did NOT order any dessert at any point in time during the dinner. Other than saying it was her birthday not a word was uttered about dessert. Every item on the dessert menu was brought out to our table, plus an extra order of one of the desserts, so 4 desserts total. We thought that maybe this was the manager's way of apologizing for the previous issue we had with making a reservation by throwing in a couple extra birthday desserts because, again, we did not order a single dessert item.
Our friend gave her credit card before the receipt came, so we did not notice until the next day that we were charged for every single dessert item that got brought out.
I tried to call to sort this out, but after the message played when I called it said "your call cannot be transferred". So I had to show up in person, and the manager said she would refund me and I said thank you and that was that. However today I see I was only partially refunded for the desserts. I do not see why we should have to pay for the rest of the desserts we did not order in the first place.
I tried to call again and got the exact same error message and I will not be showing up physically again to try and fix this.
I see the owner replies here on Yelp so I'll be leaving my check number and hopefully you can rectify this issue and I will leave a reply that you have done so. We are check number 7974 and we ate there on 12/21. | 2021-12-24 00:36:19 | Bettina | 1014 Coast Village Rd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93108 | 34.422562 | -119.651716 | Restaurants, Italian, Pizza |

I ordered my usual meals & a hot and sour soup like I do almost every week and this time I was on my way out when I noticed the soup wasn't even half way filled up. I went back inside and spoke to the employee at the desk, He apologized and went to the kitchen to fill it up. Instead of him coming out the "owner/chef" came out and told me I was wrong about it usually being all the way filled up. He was very rude and basically told me that I was lying about the soup being filled all the way even though the first guy I talked to apologized and told me he'd fill it up. I don't think he would've done that If they aren't usually filled up. This isn't the first time that I've either had a problem or gross food from this place, which is why I specifically stick to the soup. | 2021-12-24 01:28:43 | China Palace | 1070 Coast Village Rd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93108 | 34.421818 | -119.649486 | Restaurants, Wine Bars, Seafood, Bars, Nightlife, Chinese, Vegetarian, Dim Sum |

I was a little disappointed in the baklava. It didn't have the honey flavor plus it was soggy. Everything was just okay. | 2021-12-24 02:00:10 | LOKUM Turkish Delight & Baklava | 1019 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.421738 | -119.70249 | Coffee & Tea, Food, Desserts, Turkish, Restaurants, Bakeries |

I was looking for some good Mexican food on the way back from a holiday trip, and a bunch of other restaurants were closed. I got three tacos: carne asada, al pastor, and tripas. They were all fabulous, but I think the tripas was my favorite--it was beautifully crispy and had great flavor.
You order at the cashier and it's self seating. Because of COVID, they don't have an open salsa bar, so you just ask them for salsa on the side.
Would definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area. | 2021-12-24 02:09:53 | Taqueria Cuernavaca | 201 W Carrillo St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.418932 | -119.704239 | Mexican, Tacos, Restaurants |

Also, the I noodles were stuck together with chunks of eggs that were not even mixed well with the noodles. I had asked for medium spicy and it was bland. I think they are not taking the time or effort to really make the dishes with care. I know my dish was rushed and was nothing special at all. I was looking forward to eating here but was very disappointed with the taste of food and customer service. I feel bad that I wasted my money on this place. Not worth it at all. | 2021-12-24 02:53:50 | Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodle Bar | 38 W Victoria St, Ste 109 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423577 | -119.707042 | Comfort Food, Asian Fusion, Chinese, Tapas/Small Plates, Noodles, Thai, Restaurants |

The menu is definitely way, way beyond basic taco shop. Lots of amazing sounding dishes on offer. Camarones Guajillos were fantastic and the fajita burrito was huge and really good. I can recommend the margaritas as well - their (very large) Jalisco margarita was a nice way to top off the meal. | 2021-12-24 02:57:32 | Los Agaves | 600 N Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.427494 | -119.686624 | Mexican, Restaurants |

Both were super flavorful. Ingredients were fresh and so delicious.

Especially in the produce department.
Im a private chef and shop practically every day and spend about 3-5k a month for my clients. So when they are out of something as basic as shallots or whole brown mushrooms or a certain fresh herb it's a real inconvenience.
I have been going to Gelsons instead. They have a wider, much better stocked selection and their fish department is far superior. | 2021-12-24 03:16:50 | Bristol Farms - Santa Barbara | 3855 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.438145 | -119.749459 | Food, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Specialty Food, Delis, Grocery, Restaurants |
rAboZp8WU8TSme0yKzMsLQ | m92j7Qr-nRKKyopPNaYM7g | SYHDOHRNAH-2xsw3XB5qbg | 3 | I came here on a Saturday morning around 9 a.m. and there was no line at all which I didn't know what to think of at first. There was indoor and outdoor seating but I opted for outdoor seating for the cute brunch vibes. Unfortunately, the food was not as great as I expected.
The sando was the better option of the two items that I got. It had a good amount of avocado and plenty of flavor in the sandwich a lot of it coming from the ham. I'm usually not one for potatoes but they were good!
The tri-tip, however, was SO dry. Looking at the picture alone you can tell that you really need to add some sauces to save the sandwich. Even the caramelized onions were not that great and that's usually my favorite topping if it's part of a sandwich. That said, the fries again were the savior of the meal with their perfect crispiness and saltiness.
Overall, for the price point, I would expect a lot higher quality food. Nothing special about this brunch place and I wouldn't recommend going out of the way to stop by. | 2021-12-24 03:23:18 | The Shop Kitchen | 730 N Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.429169 | -119.688921 | American (New), Food, Restaurants, Coffee & Tea, Breakfast & Brunch |
