Ordered on the app. Over an hour and a half later no pizza. If they don't have drivers they should make a note or put a wait time. 30 min on prep and out for delivery now and still says in quality check. I went to the store to possibly pick it up but it was already out for delivery. I came back home and the pizza is still not here!

Great tapas restaurant! The croquettes, octopus and salad were our favorites! Great music (albeit it a little too loud) and the staff were incredibly kind. Would dine here again whenever possible.

main downside is that the food was overpriced. taste and quality of the food was great and service was also good. ambiance is nice, the restaurant is located in a hotel lobby.

Came by because it was raining hard and wanted to do something indoors. Google described this place as an upscale market and I guess given the steep prices it's true. However the quality and portions were awesome so no complaints. We tried the Mexican stall and got a shrimp ceviche and chicken tamale to try. Tamale was a bit small for $6 but super tender, aromatic and delicious. The ceviche was huge and came with chips and 3 corn tortillas. Had a jicama for the first time and mistakened for apples lol. They were super generous with the shrimp and cucumbers which was nice. Was too full to try other stuff. Highly recommend if you like food halls. It's not super big so there's a chance you might not find something you like.

We didn't eat at the restaurant so this is a review for the bakery and the staff. I wanted something sweet after lunch so wandered here in the rain. They seemed to be known for marzipan but I wasn't sure what it tasted like. The staff was so sweet he recommended I try the $4 pure marzipan pastry before buying the $12 holiday flight. He checked me out quickly and even wiped the display screens so I can see the parties better. I ended up loving marzipan! Really wanted to give a shout out to the friendly, helpful staff and the quality of their sweets.

Came here for a late lunch with a friend. Staff was friendly, pleasant, and patient. Didn't order much but had their onion rings and the guava margarita. Friend just had a Manhattan. Both drinks were enjoyable and I loved the onion rings but didn't care for the grated Parmesan or something that was on the rings. I'd come back again sometime as I'd like to try their entrees and other drinks.

Was excited to try this place given the reviews and glad we made it! Staff was very friendly and accommodating to our table change request. The food was delicious and their complementary mini muffins were addicting! We decided to just split the South of the Border omelette and didn't realize the chef/staff actually cut it and plated equal portions of the omelette and fruit into 2 plates!! I thought they accidentally put in 2 orders but the waitress clarified that they did actually plate it into 2 parts! Amazing service!

I came here 13 years ago and have always wanted to come back. It was quite the experience so I am rating it based on my VERY old experience. I remember the portions being the biggest I had ever seen and the best I had tasted. I liked it so much I gifured I would look up reviews to see how it had fared. Definitely going to check this out next time I am in the area.

Delicious taco stop in Santa Barbara! I was really impressed with the lengua especially. It was cooked really well, like the rest of the proteins! Tender, juicy, and flavorful. There's plenty of seating (there's a room in the back) and the staff are very kind and accommodating. Great for groups and plenty of street parking. Would recommend!

So this place is epic for the location and views and 4 out of 5 stars food. The chowder fries were fun and tasty and out bloody Marys were good. My fish and chips just personally didn't like this cornbread breading my man loved it though! Super hot and fresh all the food. His fish tacos were grilled so it's healthier than my fish. Only thing is this place gets soooooo packed and there was like an hour wait to get in. We chose to do high top bar seating so we got in right away otherwise we may have not have waited so long as my bf was getting hangry. Fast food service overall good experience!

First time visiting Santa Barbara. Looked on yelp for a good restaurant to visit and found Finney's Crafthouse. Was not disappointed at all. I got the Carnitas nachos and they were the best that I've ever had in my 34 years of life. I will definitely come back again.

We were excited to try this place out, but we're extremely disappointed. The service was slow, it seemed like there were only two people working. The silverware was not very clean. The ambiance was awkward, very quiet, like a doctors office lobby. The beef schwarma sandwich was not good at all. The meat had no flavor, couldn't taste any seasonings. It was also wrapped in a tortilla. A tortilla??! While the menu says "flat bread." I was hoping that at least the baklava would be good, but it was so dry. The hummus that came with the schwarma wasn't that great, either. The Turkish coffee was decent though. Would not recommend and will not come back. 1 star for being ambitious enough to open a new restaurant in town.

Finally got to try this place. The service was stellar. The food was tasty. Ordered the octopus and will say it would have been nice to have the octopus, rice, and maybe something else come with it? I felt like there was a lot of octopus for one person. Also ordered a tamarind margarita with regular tequila instead of the spicy one. This was really good, too. Will be back to try more dishes!

This IS THE WORST Chinese restaurant I have ever been to! From the time I was seated til I left the SERVICE was rude and the FOOD was mediocre at best. I ordered the dinner combo including appetizer, soup and entree. Egg roll was greasy and won ton soup had no flavor. The meal came with rice. Not making the choice myself, I was brought FRIED RICE. This was white rice with added soy sauce and tiny bits of scrambled egg. Again, no flavor. I asked to have plain white rice instead because THIS WAS NOT FRIED RICE especially when I saw a plate of fried rice go past my table that you could clearly see had egg, onion, peas. When I commented that this fried rice looked nothing like that fried rice I was told "this is the fried rice that comes with the combo". The plain rice came and was very starchy and smelled like a wet washcloth! If you know anything about cooking rice, you know it should be washed first before cooking. But here's what else I noticed... as an AMERICAN BORN CHINESE there is a discriminate atmosphere here. I was seated on the left side of the restaurant. As several CHINESE BORN couples arrived they were seated on the right hand side, given different menus (most restaurants have this type of menu for customers wanting real authentic Chinese food instead of the American classics but not everyone gets it) and given ivory chopsticks instead of wood sticks from paper wrappers! The whole dynamic of service was different to watch as well. When I mentioned my observation about the two sides to the waiter he said " yeah, okay" so he didn't even deny the differences! All customers should receive the same quality of service as well as same quality of food whether it be the regular entree or combo and whether your born in China or America! This place is the worst! And from the response they gave Charlie M a month ago, they don't care about their actions If I could I would give this place a ZERO STAR RATING

Gourmet tacos and some of the best I have ever had. They have so many different types . I liked the braised short ribs and fish tacos the best. The cauliflower was interesting too. Give that a try for something different. Stop by here if you are in the area it is worth it for a snack or meal. Not expensive and casual.

This is a lot like San Pedro square in San Jose. A large building with several restaurants. There's a huge bar that's playing sports. Soccer was on when I was there. They have pizza, tacos, sushi, wine and more. Nice place for a meal or hanging out.

Honestly i cant describe this place. It is one of my favorite stops in SB. The shawarma Sandwich taste sooo good and the hummus is the best. Alo the fried chicken was something else. Crispy and Halal. The staff are so friendly and the vibes are super. Will definitely come back. This place is super awesome.

Thanks to Executive Chef Roth Ironside and his entire team for bringing "A Local Taste of France" to all of us here in Santa Barbara. We've usually enjoyed their dining room area, but this time had the pleasure of sitting, eating and drinking at the Bar. So much fun to be there up close and personal with the Bartender Amber as she created very special cocktails, and also made some spot-on food suggestions. Her depth of knowledge in both the world of spirits and food was much appreciated. Their Bar Menu/Petit Plats offers a wide array of dishes, and we started right away with the Pate de Campagne, and Oeufs Mimosa. Both incredibly delicious, and with so much happening on those plates. For our Plats Principaux/Specialitees, we enjoyed the Chicken Cordon Bleu, and Fettucchini Alfredo Au Poulet. Both very aromatic and tasty. It was truly a special night of good food and drink, and fun conversations, and I am excited to share this dining experience with family and friends.

The minestrone was aweful. I got a bowl of onion and celery and maybe 3 pieces of pasta. I'm going to go try them again next week because I work close by but the minestrone was not good to me. I know it's usually a hit or miss but this was a complete miss and I had to go buy lunch again else where.

The company at which I work scheduled our holiday luncheon at Jane in Goleta and the menu looked amazing! It was hard to choose which to order, but I ended up choosing the grilled shrimp and Smoked salmon salad. It was very delicious and fresh. Everyone else was raving about their food as well. We reserved the side room and had a few personal servers. They were very friendly and accommodating and we all had a wonderful time.

First off, fantastic service. They were so friendly, anticipated our needs, and were so accommodating. The food was delicious and adventurous. The muscles had a surprising mix of flavors that worked beautifully. Even a basic fried chicken was elevated by a unique sauce. Wonderful atmosphere for a nice celebratory dinner.

Those tortillas are so good. It's a struggle not to gorge yourself on those alone. But then you think of the especial and then of course you're going to eat even more of that. The char on everything they grill is perfect and the flavors spot on. Worth the wait. Good enough for Julia Childs and for Katy Perry, good enough for me.

This place is decent. Considering the reviews on this place I sorta expected it to exceed my expectations but its pretty basic. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and honestly the enchiladas sauce tasted like it was from a can. Although the rice was some of the best Mexican rice I've ever had.

This place is very nice! Right next to the beach and the people who work here seem very nice. They give you mini muffins in a basket that are nice to snack on while your waiting for your food. The home fries/potatoes are delish, just like the Chad's huevos rancheros.

This place was pretty yummy! I am from Los Angeles and our Mexican food is hard to compare to other places. My family and I ordered posole, Mexican rice, and carne asada fries. The posole was my favorite.

This place took me by surprise! My husband got an appetizer to start off with, the chicken and waffle bites. These were surprisingly delicious! They have a sweetness to it but are also savory due to a sauce they add on top. I got Peggy's Crispy Chicken sandwich, which is my recommendation to anyone. The chicken has a really nice crunch to it. Those Fresno chilis are no joke! So the slaw is a nice cooling touch to the spicy chilis. Husband got the Sriracha Burger. He really liked it and would recommend it. We each got our own fries on the side. Honestly, we could've shared, but we didn't know the quantity we would get. Actually, my husband upgraded his to the truffle fries. Ya'll, these were good! Definitely do that! Also, the sriracha ketchup is an A+.

I continue to go here because the food is aaaamazing! Some of the best vegan and gluten free food I've ever had. However the lower rating is because the service is constantly bad. The other issue is the seating is really uncomfortable. The service deserves 3 stars, the food deserves 5 stars.

This place sucks. So overpriced and they charge more for vegan cheese. Sorry I'm actually allergic and don't want to stop breathing. Why am I being penalized for needing a non-dairy option? I would have walked out entirely if I didn't need to use the bathroom.

This place is a gem! They have a beautiful outside patio and spacious seating inside as well. Love the industrial look that they worked with. It seems to be a popular spot, when we arrived, there was a line to order. The wait time after, however, was pretty fast. We ordered the warm brown butter cinnamon roll and the breakfast sandwich on brioche. Each one was plentiful for us to share. The cinnamon roll was so good! It was soft and well balanced in its sweetness. We wished it would've been warmer, when we got it it wasn't as hot as we would've liked. The breakfast sandwich on brioche is pretty big! I really like the flavors, my one complaint is the egg patty is pretty thick and sometimes that's all I would taste. We got drip coffee to wash it all down. Unfortunately, the coffee wouldn't be the reason why I would go back. I'd skip the coffee and get another drink.

Excellent experience! We treated ourselves to a delicious breakfast and we got so much more! The staff was so warm and hospitable, especially Gabby! The menudo was delicious and tasted homemade! And the juevos rancheros were outstanding and served with generous portions! Worth every penny! Definitely a must eat for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food!

Usually, much better service. Been coming here for past 50+ years. Disappointed. The order was quite a long time in coming. No one came by to refresh our drinks. Asked for water three times. Had to call the waiter about the delay...the table next to us arrived later but served before us. My friend's fish and chips was fine, good. My sister's lobster was good. She ordered a small salad and they brought a huge salad, but did not charge us for it, because we argued with the waitress saying we couldn't believe that was a side salad. They later came by saying they're a new kitchen crew that wasn't up to speed, yet. They didn't charge us for it. The restraint was only 1/2 full, so there was no reason for the foul-up. I ordered ice tea but they only had the passion fruit sweet tea. I ordered the rack of lamb, which was cooked just right, tasted very good, but was the toughest lamb I've ever had, stringy sinuous. They opened the front door and a cold draft came into our area, making us want to leave immediately. We were going to get doggie bags but it was too cold. Not good. I hope they read this. We will be back, but another performance like that will lose them local customers, that take guests out to dinner...

Enjoyed a nice lunch with great friends. Variety of menu options available from small plates to appetizers and salads as well as entrees. Their ahi poke and grilled mahi-mahi salad had wonderful tastes. My husband also enjoyed dozen oysters on half shell. They also offer a variety of beers wines and bourbon cocktails.

Delicious sandwiches and awesome variety! I work nearby and tried these sandwiches with a coworker and my mind was blown! The portions are huge so one sandwich lasts at least 2 meals for me, so the price is really affordable. Friendly staff and tasty food.

I had a great experience at this restaurant during Christmas with my family that I considered whether or not I should revisit this location! I love the gorgeous view of the beach and the atmosphere of the restaurant. Our table were served by an affable young lady: started us with the oysters and water. Her 2nd visit took 10min after the 1st order of the oysters and was to bring the oysters, and to note the rest of the orders. It is totally understandable, but I realized the restaurant was not that busy, probably because it's lunch time. I came back from the restroom, which was another great experience that I witnessed the cleanliness of the restroom is at a low rate. Seeing the calamari somewhat assuaged me as it's my favorite starter at all time. I surmised it is $1 for each piece, that's why the dish cost almost $17 yet there were barely 10 pieces of calamari with about the same amount of slice onions. The ahi poke is absolutely cute as a small amount of ahi is placed on a long, enormous , gorgeous white plate, which I think the plate greatly contributed the cost of $19 due to the decoration. It is described to have ponzu within the poke, unless I misread it, it was tasteless. My mistake. The steak frites with fries are fabulously decorated with some leaf spinach, and its major highlight is the sauce. I love the sauce because the taste, also the great amount they comes with, however, the steak is merely about the size of a palm which my dad & sister were appreciated. The fries itself is great, as much as McDonald's fries, and I don't know if this dish can be charged any greater than $29, if possible, please do. Another thing that came into our observations, I guess our table is a special one compared to the others, they each have 1 water bottle ces with cups whereas we have none besides 3 cups. Perhaps our cups are different as 2 out of 3 contained a sleazy unctuous coat on the surface of the liquid, and certainly, they're noticeable since such non-polar substance is not soluble. My sister who is very fastidious, whom I thought would leave several negative perspectives, nevertheless, she essentially just shook her head as an innuendo for no comments of this great restaurant. Thanks for the special treatment! Finally, I would love to vicariously, on behalf of my family to express ones' thanks to the crew: the receptionist who greeted us with only eye contacts; the ones who cooked such delicious, grandiose, impressively insipid dishes; the young server who gave us plenty of time to order, and time to talk without interrupting by asking "how is everything" which had never done within barely 5 times of her stop by; the young man who has the number of visiting our table more than our main server just to pick up any finished dishes(really appreciated that)! I would say this is my best winter break from school for the reason I got a chance to write a lengthy letter by computer keyboard though I endeavored to be as much concise as possible, still it seems to be unworkable!

I've been eating here (as in all locations but mostly Goleta) for the past 20 years, and it never gets old. Sushi Terri is just the best and I don't understand why there are bad reviews. Sushi is always so good and tastes fresh. The miso soup broth is great. The staff is friendly and helpful. Always a quick meal too. I will eat at Sushi Terri for the rest of my life. Highly recommend.

After spending the afternoon in the Funk Zone, we made our way up State Street to get drinks at Shaker Mill. We had a good experience at their sister location Test Pilot (both are managed by Good Lion Hospitality), so we decided to give this Cuban-themed cocktail bar a try. It's located inside the Kim's Service Department building, which is a mixed-use space. Parking is available in the surrounding streets, and there's also public lots/garages nearby. You can sit outside on the front patio, in the bar area, or at the tables near Cubaneo. There's another business towards the back called Modern Times, which is a craft beer place. The atmosphere is slightly rustic, with a mostly tropical theme. Plants, ornamental light fixtures, garage doors as windows, and exposed wooden beams make the space feel industrial, yet cozy at the same time. Cubaneo's menu consists of sandwiches, sides, and other Cuban plates. Shaker Mill serves wine, beer, cocktails, and a few non-alcoholic drinks. We ordered chips with guac for the table, which were nicely hot and freshly made. Since I had a long drive after, I decided to get the boozeless Seasonal Shrub Soft Cocktail. It was light, refreshing, and well-crafted! Everyone in our group enjoyed their drinks, and we had a great time socializing. Overall a fun place to hang out if you're strolling around downtown and need a pick-me-up.

One of the most fantastic places one can stay in SB! Gorgeous, well-styled rooms epitomize luxury,. Even those rooms without a view wil have you wanting to stay out rather than venture out. And why would you go anywhere when the flagship restaurant, Angel Oak, offers sumptuous delights and stellar wines? I cannot fathom why this isn't universally five-starred, but it deserves every star!

Good food hall with a Santa Barbara flair. It has been interesting seeing this market evolve into its current form. It offers great curb appeal and the single-story interior is surprisingly large. The entire block is a gentrified section of downtown Santa Barbara and I enjoy how well-kept it is. I also enjoy how the mid century tile mural of Santa Barbara's history (from the Vons that used to be in the location) was preserved and added to the western facade. If you look at it from left to right, it depicts a whimsical timeline of how our city came to be. This venue was originally more of a market with the actual grocery section in the front. I assume that when it was removed, the focus was to shift to food only. Either way, I feel that the place has evolved nicely although there have been noticeable speed bumps along the way. While this place always seems to have a few empty storefronts, those that do occupy the space are of quality. I'm a big fan of Empty Bowl and Fala Bar. Both offer exceptional food. There's also a great sushi spot though I've never tried for myself. A kitchen area in the rear was built to be a rentable commercial space. There is ample seating throughout and the market as a whole is very clean. There always seem to be janitorial staff working while I'm here. I look forward to seeing the SBPM further evolve.

Well After an Cool walk around Santa Barbara we felt a little hungry and was craving some delicious Seafood so we Decided on trying this Restaurant !! Well first I will let you know that you can park close to the restaurant but it is 2.50 an hour to park . All you have to do is drive up on the pier and the ticket machine will print you out your ticket . Well we kind of parked a little further and walked up to the pier and the restaurant is at the end of the pier . So As you approach there is an sign in board for seating and check in !! You could choose to sit inside or outside but you can also order to go and sit outside also !! I do suggest you order to go it is a little faster and there are lots of tables on the pier for you to sit and enjoy !! Well We looked over the menu and decided on some delicious Pasta and Tacos !! And I placed my order to go and only waited about 15 minutes !! Service was pretty fast knowing how busy this restaurant can get !! As we waited your name will be called and you pickup your order and enjoy !! Once we got our order it was time to get down on this Seafood !! Boy oh boy it tasted fresh and the food was delicious !! Since it was cold outside we got the Clam Chowder Soup also and there were chunks of clams and it tasted pretty darn good also !! It's one of the more popular places here in Santa Barbara and I do suggest you give it an try and enjoy it !! After you can take a walk around the pier and enjoy taking pictures also !! Overall Satisfaction was good and I shall return and enjoy again !!

Every time Oliver's is 5/5 stars! The best restaurant in Montecito. The staff is always great too and the atmosphere is perfect. The interior design is beautiful and I highly recommend stopping at Olivers. They're only open for dinner and get very busy but you can make reservations or order to go!

It's okay. If you want to avoid Whole Foods (not support Bezos/Amazon), this is a fine alternative and really the best option on this side of SB. There's a decent coffee and smoothie bar, great wine selection, pretty good pastries and cookies. Personally, I prefer more locally grown organic produce and local (or at least California) products. There's a lack of warmth in-general, at least at the SB location, seems like they still need to figure out their identity. Lazy Acres is still by-far the best organic grocery store in SB.

I stopped by on Wednesday crazy rainy night. I was on my way from San Francisco to Long Beach and made my OBLIGATED STOP at Luna grill. As usual I ordered a Koobideh kabob and falafel as an appetizer! Love the place and the staff! Again I highly recommend going to this place.

It's been years since have returned to Holdrens and take out a few days ago was uniformly good - from the first call to take out, the bacon wrapped shrimp entree w/sides including soup and my lettuce wedge was good. Overall good experience. Bread included was pretty good also. Kudos.

Found this hidden gem on the way back from SB. Pretty elaborate seafood menu and everything our group ordered was very tasty. The only issue we had was the slower service as some of the earlier items we ordered were delivered well after some of the last items ordered.

Very unimpressive. Pretty pricey dim-sum, tiny servings with virtually no flavor. The hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour, not temperature-hot either. Being located in Santa Barbara's downtown, I guess they mostly rely on one-time-only tourist business. That would explain the high percentage of Asian visitors customers. I wonder what they think of the insipid, supposedly Asian food that seems to have been adapted to the local aversion to strong flavors in supposedly "exotic" cuisines.

I love boathouse at Hendrys beach! It is by far my favorite spot in Santa Barbara to eat when talking about location. If you want to eat close to the water that isn't on the pier this is your spot. The only bad thing that I would say is that they don't take reservations so the wait is pretty long every time I have went. Other than that, great food, great drinks, great location!

The location is great. However, the hotel itself is lacking. First, they'll send an email requesting information, ie are you celebrating a special event, etc and if so, to let them know if you have any requests. So we let them know we were celebrating a special event, and if possible, we would like a room with a view. They responded that it's probably not possible lol but sent us a menu of items we can purchase to make our celebration memorable haha This hotel charges around $800/night + parking (whether self parking or valet, it's $50+) + resort fees. And they couldn't be bothered to make it memorable. We got a room with no view and with broken items. We stayed for 3 nights. The entire stay the television was broken and the water wouldn't get hot. It is winter, and 2 out of the 3 days, it was raining. A hot water shower would've been nice. When I told the front desk, kindly, she was condescending about my complaint. Like I was an idiot for even watching tv lol and she even didn't bother to address the lack of hot water, at all. Instead, she kept asking if I needed an envelope for my folio. No, I do not need an envelope for my receipt lol Overall, I don't recommend coming here. There's hotels that cost 80% less that provide better service and actually has hot water and working tv's (if you watch tv lol).

Just ok. They ran out of menus when we got there. Service was not great, Appetizer was severed with out small plates and we had to ask for empty cups and plates to be cleared from the table. Food was just ok and took a long time to get. There are much better places to eat in the area. The table was on the front patio and was very small and uncomfortable. I had to put my purse on the ground, we were crowded next to a bush and by the very busy front door.

Told you I would be back.. What I didn't tell you was I'm coming back the same week.. Christmas Eve, me being late to make food choices. I called to see if Ginos was open.. Score! They were. I tried the "Chicken Pesto panini " They told me I got the last sandwich bread used to make it. Not sure if me getting the last one was worthy of a medallion. But hey, I enjoyed the sandwich And I can see I will be back to taste it again Next time I seek to be the first to get the sandwich bread The taste of the pesto was good, above average. Here are some things that would have made this sandwich better. Ask for more pesto ( I liked the flavor) Ask if the chicken can be cut into smaller pieces ( definitely real chicken breast, it was a little on the dry side) I don't mind that. But most will. That's it.... I recommend others to try it.. Would like to know what they think Customer service was excellent. Gave the feeling I was dealing with mom and pop And not a corporate automated strategy

It was the worst fish n chips I've ever had. I believe the fish was tilapia as it tasted muddy. We felt disgusted after eating there. The same type of fish was used in the fish taco. We were hungry and was super disappointed with the meal. If you want to eat muddy tasty fish, you can give it a try. It's worst than the frozen fish from the grocery store.

First time visiting this restaurant. Very odd experience. The food, wine and cocktail selection were very compelling. The items selected, including Duck confit and carrot/ginger soup, ahi appetizer were very good, even excellent. The service was so bad, it was almost comedic. Late, inattentive, unconcerned, three dessert courses served 30 minutes apart. Clumsy and unprofessional service, as if they were all first day folks in training. Not a professional establishment. I was so disappointed, expected much more.

100 minute wait for food after order. Server avoided any eye contact. Salad appetizer never brought (but charged). Main dishes ok, but not excellent, and extremely small portions (filet mignon MAYBE 6 ounces); 3 raviolis for another dish. Two in my party asked to go somewhere after to eat because still hungry (thin people who do not overeat). Bill came with wrong charges. Twice. No pen given to sign after credit card taken. Really, no excuses for how incompetent and poorly organized this place is run. Then add mediocre food in microscopic portions at high prices and you have the perfect negative experience.

We went here on Christmas eve. This was our 1st and last visit. We went with the waiter's recommendation, the Albacore Tuna. We had it cooked medium, our other guest had it cooked the way the chef recommended. It was tough, tasteless, and just plain awful. Absolutely no flavor really. And it sat on top of the worse polenta I have ever tasted. The menu is limited, and it is very expensive for what you get. $16 for 1 glass of wine. $27 for tough albacore. They brought us something that looked like onion rings, but tasted like cheetos for an appetizer. No bread, and if you wanted potatoes with your dish, it was an extra $5.00. Really not good.

Probably one of my faves in all of Santa Barbara. While there isn't table service (you order at the counter), the finished product of food entree is usually a work of art. I ordered a shredded burrito & beer one afternoon upon leaving SB, and needed something to stay on my bones for a while when driving eastbound into Pasadena. Natural Cafe served up an entree that was a pleasant surprise, with shredded beef that seemed lightly seasoned. Even the salad was pretty good. No complaints about the beer. It took a little time for the burrito to arrive, which was ok. I had eaten one of the cookies sold at the counter as a small appetizer. While an employee indicated that there was Wi-Fi, this really isn't set up for it. I had taken a tablet out to reference something, yet had to use my network. No big deal. I love returning to this venue, and highly recommend it for a good lunch.

It's cute. It's small. It's hidden. And it has everything you need for herbs, teas, coffees, cards and other local gifts. There are a couple tables out front, and a few in the back, if you'd like to enjoy your beverage at the store. Vices&Spices is a true Local favorite located on upper State Street with a hidden parking lot in the back. I found Vices and spices in 2002 and sooooo pleased the shop is still rocking it! I come to Vices & Spices for their coffee beans and fun conversation with staff members. They have a coffee club, so if you buy six pounds of coffee you get one for free. My favorite so far is their Linda's blend, comprised of three dark roast coffee beans. They have some specialty coffees available at certain times of year, in particular a 100%Kona coffee from the owner's plantation (I think) in Hawaii. I am a dark or medium roast person, though, so I have tried mostly the dark roasts like the Magic blend. My favorite is still Linda's. If you purchase a few pounds and intend on saving the coffee beans (which I do because I never want to run out of coffee), they offer to specially wrap the beans in plastic to protect them. All staff members are knowledgeable and provide excellent guidance on NOT freezing beans. I find the coffee beans to be of excellent quality. I also like supporting local businesses. While they do sell some baked goods, there aren't too many options. I come here for supplies, not typically to sit for a cuppa. I typically see more locals here then students. Definitely a great place for coffee bean and loose leaf tea needs.

Been here so many times and we love dining in as much as we love ordering at the window to go. They have picnic benches right nearby so it's easy to just grab the food and eat real quick. Either way, we've always been able to bring our dog and they can enjoy the nice ocean view with us. The seafood here is always delicious, we love getting the rock crab special. The clam chowder and lobster bisque was very good!

Chicken and beef are really good. Moist and not dry. The ham one could use more ham, and less cheese. Their Chimichurri sauce is a delicious condiment for these empanadas, but they are also good without it. The preorder thru the yelp app was amazingly convenient and it was ready to go when I arrived! Great service! Stop by and support this small shop if in town. They are not open certain days of the week, so check before you go.

Don't go here. We only had the Tri-tip sandwich and it's just meh. To top it off, the two guys cooking the tri-tip were rude and obnoxious. It's fair to say, we won't be coming back. and will be telling all our friends and family not to bother coming here.

I don't know why all the reviews are so bad! I definitely think you should give this place a shot! The vegan items on the written board PULLED us in! Surely, we were not disappointed! We both ordered the vegan chicken parm & a side of fettuccine. My fiancé said it was the best vegan chicken parm he's ever had! It's not usual to find CRISPY vegan chicken parm, but they did it! Moreover, the marinara sauce was perfect. Not salty & was delicious! The fettuccine on the side was also cooked nicely as well & the sauce on it was creamy & amazing! Even the patio decorated for the holidays made for a welcoming ambiance. The servers were attentive as well. I thoroughly enjoyed our meal here!

Caruso's, one the best restaurants I have ever been too. 5 Star service, 5 Star food, 5 Star ambience awaits. From the moment you walk into Miramar Beach, you know your in for a special treat. Spectacular!

Love this restaurant. My only wish is a larger selection. Was hoping for the Hawaiian ribeye but the French Dip was a good substitute.

This was my first time having empanadas, let alone having food from Buena Onda. My friend actually picked up the empanadas and brought them to the beach, but I have heard that the customer service is wonderful. The empanadas were so yummy and you can tell they are made with love. In the photo you can see the inside of the Hongos (mushroom), which was very good. The other was the Carne, which was also delicious.

I'm torn. For once in my life, I am going to make this short and sweet. I LOVE Kyle's Kitchen's food and what their local chain stands for. With that said, it hurts me to write this review. My partner and I are trying to eat more healthy and I thought of this as a great dinner option after our Sunbasket weekly order didn't arrive due to Holiday shipping delays. I ordered Kyle's Protein Grill online through their user-friendly Kyle's Kitchen app, received the appropriate pick up timing, and an electronic receipt. I picked up the food, brought it back home, and thankfully it was all still warm and ready to eat. Unfortunately, the vegan meatballs were extremely dry and dense. To the point where they were almost inedible. It was as if they sat out all day long in a warmer. Our accompanied rice and vegetables were bland and lacking flavor. While they do offer a complimentary side of sauce, even the sauce couldn't cover up the blandness. I received an automated customer survey via email and responded that same evening. I did receive an apologetic email and a $25 credit toward a future purchase (equal to how much we had spent). I am going to give Kyle's Protein Grill another try after allowing some time to pass. I cannot give it less than three stars based on their appreciated response

My wife and I dined here on Christmas Eve and David was our server. The appetizer of veal meatballs was fantastic as was my 7 hour veal bolognese dish. The wine was okay and our only issue was my wife's meal. She ordered halibut which came to the table raw inside after my wife gave explicit detailed instruction to David relative to the temperature of her fish. So she sent it back and David explained it was very difficult to control the desired temperature of the fish on a woodfire grill yet agreed to cook her a new one. The second one came to the table and was extremely dry and tasteless definently not what we expected given my dish was superb. I would recommend taking the halibut off of the menu if in fact it cannot be cooked properly. We had a cheesecake for desert which was excellent as well. Unfortunately my wife gave up and just tried to choke it down although chose to share my dish as an alternative means of feeding her hunger. We came back for breakfast on Christmas morning and it was fantastic. We had reservations for Christmas Dinner and cancelled it and ended up at the Hilton and had a wonderful meal and drinks. We stayed at the Santa Barbara Inn and would have rather had dinner there but not after our Christmas Eve experience. My advice is to not order the fish! Thanks
