puYLhLfmszLjGSOXjMK5tg | 2ZpI58gpkhK_c3nf4PvPfQ | RtJC7xavgAxOITQyAlGCbQ | 5 | Have recently rediscovered Tri County - and it's changed where I buy some of my fruits, vegetables, and breads. The produce looks so different than most grocery stores - it seems to radiate freshness. That freshness translates to flavor. There are some breads available not in most stores, they even will special order breads you want from Ethnic Bread. Parking is so easy, there's plenty of employees to help. John Dixon and staff - thank you. It's also nice to know one is shopping at a locally owned market - that's a plus. Recommended highly. My neighbors say the meats and fish are excellent too. Don't forget to join their loyalty program also. | 2021-12-28 22:18:06 | Tri-County Produce Co | 335 S Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.418183 | -119.673899 | Coffee & Tea, Restaurants, Specialty Food, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Food, Health Markets, Grocery, Fruits & Veggies |
f_3WBqLQSnLcg5O2K177vA | oJbaUv7DCsw4m5UxJ52WVw | i5C6RVgr03HSrgCl8oa1Fg | 1 | Extremely bad experience with Patxi's at Santa Barbara. Came here a few days ago to order takeout. They put us on hold for more than 30 minutes and never came back. Called once again after an hour and same experience. They don't seem to care for customers. We have been to other Patxi's location and had good experiences. | 2021-12-28 22:20:21 | Patxi's Pizza | 515 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.417115 | -119.696243 | Salad, Restaurants, Pizza, Sandwiches, Italian |
Jgh3Un0jdDwOu1ji9DtqsQ | K9yqWi4YXs3p9lJ3cpMcOg | yPSejq3_erxo9zdVYTBnZA | 1 | Off day...
we should have know when we saw the huge line on the sidewalk that maybe today was an off day. We literally drove from LA to eat here today but...
after we ordered over $80 worth of food, we sat outside on a cold day next to inoperative heaters.
Then, it took forever to get our food delivered, and in parts. The server kept delivering our food to the next table throughout our stay, I had to waive each time I recognized our food.
They ran out of chips (gave them to the next table who arrived about 10 min after us) and we got them towards the end.
Two of us had shrimp fajitas that were cold by the time we got our tortillas. Yup -- delivered to the next table in spite of our number clearly visible on the table and despite them complaining that they did not order corn tortillas.
To add insult to injury, our shrimp fajitas only had 6 shrimps -- for $20 per plate -- those are some expensive shrimps!!!!
VERY disappointing, slow, messy, unorganized, and expensive! Would love to eventually come back and experience what everyone is raving about but for now, we aren't confident that this is even the same restaurant! | 2021-12-28 22:28:59 | Los Agaves | 600 N Milpas St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.427494 | -119.686624 | Mexican, Restaurants |
TJ9sRBBDBwqtzdwF6Dbkig | LCE-A7s3tM8I_IY_Tb9BbA | -NXRuUsazxXZZ_OHwmtYtw | 2 | While polite, the ammonia smell was dismissed when asked and also surprise! There's a 35 dollar holding amount on pen tabs ( mine was 6 dollars at the end) that holds for 2 to 3 days. Something you'd think should be explained at the start of opening a tab. Especially if it's not busy. When called and asked about this mysterious 35 dollar charge it was met with a question of "the bartender didn't tell you about it? " Remembering my last visit to this place recalling there was no explication of 35 dollars being held. Further explication of why there is a 35 dollar hold was said "if someone can't pay their tab or leave before paying, blah blah blah." I stopped caring. Was recommended to pay and close as I go or bring cash when drinking there. Unfortunately I will not be returning. Sorry you have less than great customers that cause you to HAVE to take 35 dollars out. Perhaps we evaluate. Good bye Uptown. | 2021-12-28 23:11:32 | Uptown Bar & Lounge | 3126 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.440606 | -119.732181 | Lounges, Karaoke, American (New), Mexican, Sports Bars, Tacos, Restaurants, Pizza, Bars, Nightlife, Food, Beer, Wine & Spirits |
HGrreJXLP83xsz3v8KdUMA | jpPi7oGPyA5j5bXBSXGbKg | DOfiulOub9hVPBCtiDl9Fw | 1 | We ordered 3 pizza's from here. O.G, Market and Margarita. The first two were drenched in pizza pepper pretty much making them uneatable. I would have thought any good pizza place and chef would taste their own sauces - obviously not here . Would not recommend . | 2021-12-29 01:01:10 | Lucky Penny | 127 Anacapa St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.414643 | -119.690235 | American (New), Breakfast & Brunch, Restaurants, Salad, Italian, Nightlife, Bars, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Sandwiches, Coffee & Tea, Wine Bars, Food, Pizza |
OSSQeDCJm-2k-iDx1Jkyog | 6hIgeEfKhfQHV86cyL0IFA | 3Wy21heeDm8h2tSZfcj6OA | 4 | Great atmosphere but some food was amazing and some was just ok. Pricing is decent for what you get, so that's a plus. Main disappointment was that they only had 1 type of oyster available, and we went there for the oyster menu we saw on their website. And I hate to bash on the service as I know restaurants are having trouble with staffing right now, but service wasn't great. If we wanted something we literally had to flag someone down who was walking by. I think we talked to a bartender, manager, bus boy, and someone else's waiter more than our own waiter. It was pretty busy so I imagine the experience would've been a lot better if it wasn't so crowded, but overall would give it another shot if in the area. | 2021-12-29 01:02:07 | Lure Fish House | 3815 State St, Ste G131 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.438849 | -119.748164 | Breakfast & Brunch, Food, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Bars, Seafood, Restaurants, Wine Bars, Cocktail Bars, American (New), Nightlife |

8B_fhNpPTgGJplQvgxKXpw | gji92ao5NAIrb3akKyqTZQ | 1Du1NruqJwxnzgEUHc42Jw | 3 | Service was great! We were welcomed within a minute of arriving, we had water at the table immediately, and our drink + food order were taken quickly. Food arrived in about 5-minutes. Keep in mind that it was close to closing on a Tuesday.
Aside from the staff, the food and quality were just okay. Yet, the prices are great (two breakfasts, a juice, and a side of fries for $35 - this would be closer to $50 at most restaurants in SB).
This is a diner, so maybe this is an unfair review? The syrup for our pancakes and waffles was coagulating, oil was leaking out of our fries and building a puddle on the bowl, the waffles were alright and although the pancakes tasted better they also tasted slightly raw (doughy).
We ate here because it was one of the only restaurants still serving breakfast at 2pm. | 2021-12-29 02:11:24 | SB Sunshine Cafe | 3514 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.440656 | -119.738781 | Restaurants, American (New), Breakfast & Brunch, Diners |

I found something in the food and they changed immediately. But not too sorry and not offer anything. I wanted to refund but just eat.
Anyway, every food is fine. | 2021-12-29 02:18:28 | Siam Elephant | 509 Linden Ave | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.39651 | -119.521682 | Restaurants, Thai |
6z4tvyl9keAgl775hKis1A | Zhpudcqkj-nqdzRmG0GU-A | qVitsouI4aBiYx1_Fjn0Pg | 2 | Food was good, but worst bar service ever! We received our food and then the bar tender forgot about our drinks. She then proceeded to make multiple others before making hours. This also happened to me last time I came! I never write reviews but honestly it was very unpleasant. Also, there happy hour time is wrong on the menus...extra frustrating! | 2021-12-29 03:21:19 | Foxtail Kitchen & Bar | 14 E Cota St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.418075 | -119.696223 | Bars, Mediterranean, Burgers, Restaurants, Gastropubs, Nightlife, Whiskey Bars, Cocktail Bars |

GxjRwKLiI76uEZJefByd6A | hj6bHxcTRCPVhanRL5neGA | f3eve2cxUIzyanWnHdMtFQ | 2 | I lovED this place I've been coming here since they opened. Throughout the year I would get tacos and always forget to use the Axxess Card.
Sadly today was not a good day. If you take my five star ratings and now my two star rating that still averages out pretty well for them. They don't get an average three star because they are not being honest and truthful about their Axxess promotion
So today I came with the Axxess card and wanted to get the two for one taco deal. (See photo) We got a cauliflower taco and a butternut squash taco. They both cost the same. But beware they will tell you that the butternut squash taco is not part of the two-for-one taco. They've only select tacos for their two for one on the Axxess so they told me
Unfortunately there's no information and no signage about this. When you look at the Axxess app it says it's a two for one deal. Thus, it feels like false advertising.
I've been in line for at least 15 minutes. There's still a long line behind me and people are understandably impatient.
I had my access card and my credit card out and my order ready to go. I wanted to be thoughtful to others and be efficient in my ordering once my turn came
When they said they would not honor the access to for one taco I would have to choose from only five different taco options... Which didn't help me because I don't do well with fried foods and I'm vegan. The cauliflower was for my partner and the butternut squash was for me. Thus I then need to make a U-turn on the order.
Given the line, you would think the manager would just sort it out. We actually chose this place for lunch so that we would use the Axxess
Nobody wants to be the person in the front of the line causing a delay. It was just unpleasant all around. - No matter how pleasant I tried to be.
I've been a long time supporter of this place. The manager did not want to make any "exception ". However there should've been no need for an exception because it's advertised as a two for one.
So Corazon Cucina either change your relationship with Axxess Card or advertise your extremely limited Axxess offer very clearly on the Axxess app and on your menu.
It was extra disappointing as I really have made an effort to support them. I have brought so many locals and out-of-town guest to this location and to the Project | 2021-12-29 03:39:52 | Corazon Cocina | 38 W Victoria, Unit 122 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423608 | -119.707054 | Restaurants, Breakfast & Brunch, Latin American, Mexican, Seafood |

If you are lucky enough to be there when they have the Black Mole Enchiladas--don't miss the chance! They are superb.

H85YVgdsyLBtGMgdXtITZw | J9uA2cRswa-97q8Gy_9U8g | qVitsouI4aBiYx1_Fjn0Pg | 1 | i honestly came here wanting to love it. it's a great location, a nice atmosphere, and a unique menu! and i will say that the food was good. that's what the star is for. apart from that, we ordered from the happy hour menu (which said it went until 7pm) at 6:30, but the host didnt honor the menu price, since she said happy hour actually ended at 6. so the expected price went up from ~$30 to over $55. we asked if she would honor the menu price and she said no, but she did end up giving us 10% off. that was nice. so we go out to the nice patio, and the food comes out pretty quickly! but we hadn't gotten our drinks, and after eating half of our meal, i decided to go in and check on the drinks. turns out she totally forgot what we had ordered. i waited another 15 minutes watching her tend to maybe two other customers at the bar before she got to our two drinks. she then gave us a cocktail that wasn't what we ordered, and when we asked about it, she claimed that it was right. so we drank it. we went in to get one more cocktail, and she seriously tried to charge us again for the whole. meal. saying we hadn't paid. needless to say, the service was horrendous. the restauarant has a lot of potential, but they have to get more competent waitstaff. | 2021-12-29 04:04:46 | Foxtail Kitchen & Bar | 14 E Cota St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.418075 | -119.696223 | Bars, Mediterranean, Burgers, Restaurants, Gastropubs, Nightlife, Whiskey Bars, Cocktail Bars |

It was raining really hard outside so my only option was to Uber Eat some thing to my hotel room. The fajitas had a lot of flavor and was a pretty big portion. The rice was cooked very well, the only thing that could've used more flavor was the side of beans. I forgot was to ask for utensils so make sure to ask if you're getting delivery . I ordered a shrimp fajitas with a side order of steak, total was about 38 with the delivery fees.

DlnYP0G3zU2lBlxtKs8Xpw | PhmMWBBQda24K9z6b9R-sA | KSYONgGtrK0nKXfroB-bwg | 4 | When we called, they said the wait time was going to be roughly 2 hours, but when we ended up getting there, they told us they had a cancellation and we could get seated in the next 10-15 mins. If we had to wait for 2 hours, i think this place would drop down to three stars. But i'm really happy they were able to accommodate us.
We were in SB for only 1 night, and the wife wanted to check this place out.
We were able to get a seat right next to the kitchen, which i think is pretty cool as you can watch the cooks make your food.
We ended up getting gin drinks to start. I believe others have mentioned that this place does gin drinks really well, and i completely agree with them.
Order one, you won't be disappointed.
As for the food, we ended up getting the:
pan con tomate: good, but i don't think its worth the 11 bucks. light and refreshing to eat
baya de oro: simple 1 bite dish
croqueta de chorizo: similar to a potato ball that you can find at cuban restaurants.
champinones: out of everything we got, this was the winner. the green sauce they used for the mushrooms is so good! We were contemplating ordering another dish!
pulpo: great seafood dish. However, the octopus was a bit gummy in texture.
goat cheese: ordered for dessert, and it was a nice cap to the end of our dinner.
We were able to find parking nearby. | 2021-12-29 04:30:54 | Loquita | 202 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.414204 | -119.691644 | Event Planning & Services, Nightlife, Tapas Bars, Spanish, Modern European, Bars, Cocktail Bars, Seafood, Venues & Event Spaces, Restaurants |

This is a locally owned business where every dish is personal to the owners and a gift to our community.
I have been coming here for 10 years and I have never been disappointed- the food is never greasy but rather always fresh- even their vegetables are crunchy.
My advice - don't go through Carpintetia without stopping here and bringing home some food for yourself and/or your loved ones. | 2021-12-29 04:35:40 | Uncle Chen Restaurant | 1025 Casitas Pass Rd | Carpinteria | CA | 93013 | 34.396389 | -119.51383 | Chinese, Restaurants |

I had the chicken, which was some of the best I've ever had. The ravioli was under-cooked and over-salted. The tuna cone appetizer were mind-blowing! The deserts were reliably excellent but not particularly creative. entre portions were "American," meaning a bit oversized. The ambiance was pleasant and while full did not feel crowded or loud.

m3PDYgh0oOFWoVrFik1-sw | hW7EUfK_xhy0LabxTbaWhA | G9rBwcWp56C8r6ZFwVuimA | 1 | We called twice to make sure we could sit in the lounge and have something to eat they said yes come on in I said do you need a reservation They said no.
So we drove an hour to get there because the traffic was terrible and when we got there they said no we're not seating any people in the lounge I said well that's funny because I called twice, and they said come on in. And, there were people seated in the lounge.
So after talking to the bartender who is supposed to be the manager and two other suits and a waiter they said OK go sit over there so we sat and we sat and for a half an hour we sat and we got no service no nothing.
We tried flagging people down there weren't very many people there they were all these suits behind the bar all busy busy with something. Finally my husband got up and said some thing to one of the suits. 10 minutes later this very rude waiter, Came over with his rude attitude and we ordered. He somehow thought it was funny that we had been waiting for a half an hour I said I don't think it's funny.
Our order wasn't difficult but apparently it was too difficult for him to make the effort to put it in because it took another half an hour, two phone calls to the concierge And a call to management.
Then guess what, my husband got his drink tonic and bitters but in an hour they couldn't seem to bring a club soda to our table, even though the table to our left had three rounds of drinks and food and meanwhile another couple came and sat next to us . The Rude Waiter took their order really quickly and then 20-25 minutes later they still had not gotten their Coke and a glass of wine, that's pretty pathetic. They left!
If you're still reading I'll tell you what finally happened: a manager finally came over, eventually I got my club soda and then he put in the wrong order for a burger because the very rude waiter didn't put it in, and this is what I think really happened.
The bartender who is supposed to be a manager was just a jerk, and had no intention of getting us our drinks, the waiter who was also a jerk and incompetent couldn't get us our drinks and couldn't get the other people their drinks because he was also an incompetent idiot , because he never put a order in. He was just plain mean spirited and incompetent.
And I think they I think they did it on purpose because they were mean-spirited, misogynists.
The manager finally Came over and said blah blah blah Covid blah blah blah people are quitting blah blah blah ONE CLUB SODA!!!!!!!!!! ONE HOUR!!!!!!! That was not the problem. The bartender was looking straight at me for an hour and did it on purpose because he's unprofessional and shouldn't be working at a place like Encanto that has terrible food and terrible service

jdTyqBLpeUUgnZV9ImdhAQ | PhmMWBBQda24K9z6b9R-sA | EZc2myE2mYk2h9JK9qu8gw | 3 | this place is more like 2.75 stars.
trying to get a seat on a sunday when the football games are playing was not a smart move on our behalf. It took roughly 30 mins for two people to get seated. I guess people really enjoy the atmosphere and the food here.
To be honest, the food was pretty good, but then again we didn't eat too much as we were trying to save our stomach for seafood (uni and oysters).
We ended up getting a few drinks, and some appetizers to go along with it.
The best item was the pretzel that comes with three different types of sauce. The best sauce in my opinion was the sweet one followed by the nacho cheese and the mustard.
The deviled eggs were decent, nothing to rave about.
The fried cauliflower was actually pretty good. I would recommended getting the pretzel with beer and the cauliflower.
service could have been better. it took a while to flag down a server, also they never came by to check in on us.
When we were ready for the check, they brought out the wrong one.
Location is great as its almost in the middle of town. plenty of parking around the block and its only steps away from the pier. | 2021-12-29 05:16:31 | 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) |

Our party of 12 went to Eureka for dinner tonight. we had 4 children and some picky adults. the food and service was awesome. Half off wine Tuesdays are an absolute steal and everyone was beyond satisfied with the entrees. also personal thanks to our waiter Maxim. He was on top of all the chaotic orders and kept the drinks coming :D Delicious food, great service and perfect setting for any gathering | 2021-12-29 05:23:24 | Eureka! | 601 Paseo Nuevo | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.418612 | -119.700151 | Restaurants, American (Traditional), Lounges, Nightlife, Bars, Burgers, American (New) |
QDQ-FiaW-NhC2eGWpCRMHw | UVFvTVvo_TKuzjoStgg_kg | KSYONgGtrK0nKXfroB-bwg | 5 | We were in town for the night and thought we'd try this place since it was just mentioned in the Michelin guide.
Reservations were made on Resy two days earlier.
Ambience: beautiful and romantic. It's a very large space with several outdoor spaces and two indoor spaces. We sat outside. It was a cold night but I was sandwiched between a fire pit and two heaters. I was very toasty and comfortable. They also have a nice touch of putting some blankets on the chairs if you need it.
Service: pretty attentive and helpful.
Drinks: we got the La Reina and the siderias for cocktails. Both good. We got some vermouth towards the end of the meal. I like that they had small pours.
Food was not consistent. Some dishes were just amazing and some were just ok.
We started off with the pan con tomate which was just outstanding. Just like I remember it in Madrid.
The cheese croquettes were good but nothing special.
Mushrooms were very good. Very tasty.
Datil pinxto was the stuffed dates which I didn't care for.
The Gambas were very good. But it needed more bread.
The calamari I did not like at all. The combination of flavors just didn't work for me.
Now the star of the show was the seafood paella. Omg. That was delicious. I loved The burnt bits. There was dots of lemon aioli or something on it that was wonderful. If you come here you must order the paella.
For dessert we had the churros. I liked the different dipping sauces but I didn't think it was amazing.
An all around really nice place. | 2021-12-29 05:25:25 | Loquita | 202 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.414204 | -119.691644 | Event Planning & Services, Nightlife, Tapas Bars, Spanish, Modern European, Bars, Cocktail Bars, Seafood, Venues & Event Spaces, Restaurants |

Front of house outside coldly told us they did not do takeout without any explanation but told us they could take us in to do sitdown. So the question is - what do your customers who sit down take their left overs in. ?
Certainly absolutely NO irish hospitality here - so recommend take your business elsewhere. | 2021-12-29 05:26:11 | 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) |

The oat milk latte was just okay.
We had the chocolate banana bread which was yummy too. | 2021-12-29 05:28:13 | Jeannine’s American Bakery & Restaurant | 1 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.412205 | -119.689592 | Food, Bakeries, Restaurants, Patisserie/Cake Shop, Cafes, Coffee & Tea |

I wanted to get a gift card as a holiday gift and had to come back twice and waited for 45 minutes each time. Each time I was treated like a major inconvenience by front of house staff for wanting to purchase a gift card.... The recipient of the gift card went to have dinner here and was also treated rudely by staff. | 2021-12-29 05:47:20 | Loquita | 202 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.414204 | -119.691644 | Event Planning & Services, Nightlife, Tapas Bars, Spanish, Modern European, Bars, Cocktail Bars, Seafood, Venues & Event Spaces, Restaurants |

We started with a 5 cheese plate and the marcona almonds. Then moved on to a rib appitzer the citroné and Burrata salads, a couple of uni shooters then the main courses of the catch of the day, beef cheeks, risotto, and shoyu ramen... Everything was cooked to perfection and service was exceptional!

RZSKCe87bclj0CAmr9O07Q | u58XYRqNT9I8EY8_asQJ_g | 3VrqxApK-iwfRohlAuIt0g | 3 | Not thrilled with this restaurant.
1. Hostess who seated us seemed irritated with us, and did not present herself well
2. Waiter was OK, but not much warmth here either though
3. Jambalaya was good
4. Seafood Gumbo didn't do down well, but this was my first time having this dish, so maybe it was me...
5. Cornbread was OK
6. Andoullie Sausage on the side was good

UyqZJ5qiTvGRuI5aWg-v_w | SQWIcJbJXe6O7xOwUKXMEg | 4h4Uskb7B8OTI7oDR7wImQ | 3 | The food was fine but not great. The meat did not taste much different than a burger from the habit but it's twice the price. The flavor combos are interesting in regards to toppings but the execution is subpar. We had the downtown, the mesa and the original. No one was overly impressed. The fries were incredible though! Crispy shoestrings with salt and pepper.
Overall not bad, but I expected more from a place with Cat Coras name attached. | 2021-12-29 16:19:58 | Mesa Burger - Goleta | 7010 Market Pl Dr | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.429357 | -119.871816 | Sandwiches, Restaurants, American (Traditional), Beer, Wine & Spirits, Chicken Shop, Food, American (New), Burgers |
bL-4BEArnFt5IyXuipyVMA | A4bsa7ykYRVCnb4h2vZALw | Rl42JbSMsmNW3LRjsTMYAg | 4 | Anyone that's been to Freebirds knows how generous the portions are. I haven't been here in awhile since it's in the heart of college town aka Isla Vista. It can be very busy during school hours, but luckily it was like a ghost town on the streets and only a few customers were here during Christmas break.
There's a small parking lot on site, otherwise you can park on the street, but they are mostly 15 minute zones.
I am obviously a nacho lover, so naturally I come here for the nachos! When ordering, you start with tortilla chips heated up with melted cheese. Then you have endless toppings to add, such as beans, rice, grilled veggies, meat, pico de gallo, guac, sour cream and much more. By the time you pile on the toppings, the nachos weigh about 10 pounds! The serving will feed about 2-3 people, unless you have a big appetite.
I remember the nachos used to be $12, but now they are $20! Times sure have changed, but at least they haven't skimped on the portions here. The burritos are just as good and the size is very hefty.
I'm glad I could get my nacho fix in here, but it's definitely something I treat myself to occasionally. | 2021-12-29 16:42:15 | Freebirds | 879 Embarcadero Del Norte | Isla Vista | CA | 93117 | 34.413267 | -119.855688 | Salad, Restaurants, Tacos, Mexican, Breakfast & Brunch |
ZqFkxrVmAPTIylJMVHGR7Q | E8ni-ljE3wiP3XYCNm97yg | XXsofYxziipczzc3OFDD5Q | 4 | It's the cafe run by the Ritz, of course everything is twice the price it should be. It is however quick and convenient. The espresso is good and the breakfast pastries are as well. Don't go in expecting it to be the best cafe you've been to since Milan or for it to be cheap and you won't be disappointed. | 2021-12-29 16:43:38 | Caffè | 8301 Hollister Ave | Santa Barbara | CA | 93117 | 34.433513 | -119.920641 | Cafes, Restaurants, Bakeries, Coffee & Tea, Juice Bars & Smoothies, Food |

The decor both inside and out was pretty but the food was... underwhelming. I appreciated the use of vegetables and herbs in their combinations but the quality and quantity were not commensurate with the price. We tried to split the Jerusalem feast, but my husband was hungry after eating! Maybe we just did not fit in with the other clientele at the joint and could certainly not afford the homewares they were hocking. | 2021-12-29 17:23:45 | Feast: The Cafe at Field + Fort | 2580 Lillie Ave | Summerland | CA | 93067 | 34.419366 | -119.591295 | Restaurants, Cafes, Coffee & Tea, Food, Desserts |

The seating options were wonderful and the decor was great. The servers were all extremely kind and helpful choosing what to eat. The food was INCREDIBLE. We got multiple share plates and split everything between us. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were really good.

Onion rings fell apart just from picking them up. Oysters were good but expensive. Shrimp scampi was plain , and the shrimp and scallop pasta was surprisingly sour, which might have been on purpose but did not taste very good IMO. | 2021-12-29 18:38:33 | Santa Barbara Shellfish Company | 230 Stearns Wharf | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.408715 | -119.685019 | Live/Raw Food, Restaurants, Seafood, Beer Bar, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Bars, Food, Nightlife |

I got chastised for turning on the hot plate burner. Dear god, if you come here don't touch the hot plate controls . The sushi was pretty basic. Don't think sushi is their primary dish, but it won't kill you. There's definitely some firm competition on the same street. Unless you're dying for dim-sum I'd find someplace a little more savory and satisfying. | 2021-12-29 20:52:53 | ASIE | 511 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.416927 | -119.696155 | American (New), Wraps, Chinese, Sushi Bars, Barbeque, Dim Sum, Asian Fusion, Ramen, Restaurants, Noodles, Soup, Japanese, Hot Pot |

Got the Cornbeef Hash Eggs Benedict and it was awesome! They laid down a toasted English muffin, them avocado slices, then a cornbeef spinach combo, then 2 perfectly runny Poached Eggs topped with holidase sauce. The holidase sauce was very thin, would have liked it thicker so it stayed on top of the eggs. But overall still really good.
Home potatoes were also very good as season well.
The free Muffin Basket was a nice touched, although it was cake batter, not muffin. Much too sweet and tasted like chocolate chip cake. | 2021-12-29 21:02:03 | Chad's | 216 W Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.409941 | -119.692262 | Diners, Salad, American (Traditional), Breakfast & Brunch, Restaurants |

xaBqGXdNPNNglGTZdd20XA | hj6bHxcTRCPVhanRL5neGA | Qkg16mN-8QR66gjzg6gMyw | 1 | We have been big supporters here but I am shocked it when people don't look at the situation with empathy.
We've been coming here for meals throughout the year and forgot to use the Axxess Card. We called up and asked about putting an order in for pick up. We go through all that and I let them know that will be using the Axxess Card finally. They said sorry you have to eat inside. I said we cannot somebody has a compromised system and they are not supposed to be eating indoors at this time given him COVID omicron. Due to the weather the patio is closed. The manager said they would not make any exception. Even though they can see in the record buck we have been coming here a lot.
I think I even asked about the Axxess and the waiter didn't know what I was talking about. But bottom line is do you want to work with your customers who are long time supporters or do you say to them well sorry you have to take the risk and eat inside or else we won't honor it. It doesn't make any sense. I'm waiting for the general manager to call me back because Ernesto the manager said well basically ignore your doctors orders and eat inside it if you want the Axxess - we won't make an exception. He didn't put it in those words but I said that's exactly what his messaging is relaying. The merchants should spell it out more clearly. Otherwise again we're talking about inaccurate advertising. | 2021-12-29 21:44:13 | 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 |

Unpleasantly surprised by the attitude of the hostess. Seemed like she didn't want to be there- went to order takeout and seemed like she didn't want to serve us. Was expecting more vegan options. Felt cheated because the menu said that you could customize.

wCErvQA0T-aQhFD2mZniog | a4r7b9qJI_1HwfVul-ns5A | KSYONgGtrK0nKXfroB-bwg | 5 | Might be in my top 10 restaurants of all time. We came here at the suggestion of a friend to have my birthday dinner.
I couldn't get reservations, so we just walked in and put my name down. It was an hour and a half wait or so, but we were determined to dine here, so we decided to wander downtown to kill some time. Thankfully, we checked in an hour later, and we were able to snag a corner table shortly after.
Location: Downtown Santa Barbara. Easy parking in the evenings since there's a public parking lot across the street.
Ambiance: Trendy, yet welcoming.
Service: Our server was super friendly and great at recommending dishes and how many/what combo of tapas, paella, etc. we should order for our party of 2. (NOTE: we ordered one more tapa than recommended and yes, we agreed she was probably right, but also did not regret our choice to order more and have leftovers)
Food: We ordered the El Bulli, which is definitely a unique dish that reminded me of the kind of gastronomy stuff you see at Michelin Star restaurants. An experience for your senses. For tapas, we order the Champinones, Calamares a la Plancha, and Pulpo. The mushrooms were amazing in flavor. The stuffed calamare was also just an amazing combination of flavors and textures - how could you go wrong? The pulpo perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had the Mariscos paella which was the best paella I've had so far - maybe it's the lobster stock they use? We were completely stuffed, but it was my birthday, so by default, we had to order dessert. Not just one, but two desserts. And then they also brought out a special birthday dessert, which is a housemade marshmallow that was amazing. The desserts we actually ordered were the churros and the basque cheesecake because we couldn't decide. Both were so good, but if I had to choose, I'd probably have the churros.
Drinks: I love Spanish places because of the food and because they often have an amazing gin & tonic menu. This place did not disappoint. I ordered the Costa Blanca and my bf ordered the Barca Nona. Both drinks were amazing.
We left stuffed, satisfied, and excited for our leftovers for the next day.
Would I return?

The 20 minute wait was well worth it. All the staff took their time & made sure we got what we wanted. The food is definitely fresh, fancy & there's lots to choose from. (My one child was not willing to try something new & her cheese quesadilla was killer & perfect). I see a nice date or a girls night out in my future at this place.

708IGmOchouKwnG--BQ7Og | a4r7b9qJI_1HwfVul-ns5A | nYPzsOjvida-ne7swSPHpA | 4 | We came here at the recommendation of a friend, so even though we weren't starving, we still had to try this place on our last night in SB.
Location: Easy to find and easy to find parking.
Ambiance: Trendy, yet casual.
Service: Service was attentive, without being overbearing.
Food: We ordered the Queso Fundido, the Pupos a Las Brasas, and the Filete Costeno. The queso was as expected, and a great addition to the chips. The pupos was well cooked and the puree it comes with was very flavorful. The Filete Costeno was a let down, though. The only good thing might have been the steak. The cheese stuffed pepper was really heavy and the crab enchilada was good in theory, but for some reason, the flavors did not execute well.
Drinks: I ordered the Margarita Jamaica, which was really tasty and my bf ordered an Old Fashioned.
Cost: Not cheap, which is expected when you order seafood, but also maybe not quite worth the price when you're disappointed by one of the main dishes.
Would I return? Maybe for Happy Hour! | 2021-12-29 23:19:40 | Santo Mezcal | 119 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.413456 | -119.691322 | Latin American, Restaurants, Mexican, New Mexican Cuisine |

Best seating is outdoors I tried the lobster sandwich and it was phenomenal. While you put your name and you can go for a walk on the beach and watch the dogs play the sunset is one of the best in town.

HG-OaFItXZO_5N8fMlC2hQ | abn4yEZGdr2BWLFzemdWbg | r926yelr_EJAKQCjdD6AWA | 5 | My boyfriend and I have been here a few times and it's always a great experience! COVID is tough on businesses these days and changes aren't always the best. We were skeptical paying at the counter since service typically suffers that way, but not here. Our server Riley was so hospitable and anticipated our needs before we could even ask. We had a few mimosas and had ZERO trouble getting another round thanks to Riley's impeccable service. He made the end of our trip a pleasant one!
Onto the food: my boyfriend ordered the Presidio Burrito (he's tried it twice) which was delicious. It was generously filled with chorizo, home fries, cheddar and jack cheese, avocado, and salsa. It's paired with a side salad that's pretty tasty as well. For myself, I tried the Salmon Benny that was paired with a side of home fries. The entree was good, but the burritos here are definitely better.
Drinks: this establishment has pretty good coffee whatever brand they use. Flavored creamer isn't necessary. We also had a few rounds of mimosas which are pretty darn good for $6 apiece. They have a variety of flavors to choose from too - peach, guava, pomegranate, pineapple and mango (my favorite).
If you're in SB, definitely give this place a try. Your tummy will thank you. | 2021-12-29 23:47:58 | State & Fig | 1114 State St, Ste 18 | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.423044 | -119.703208 | Restaurants, American (New), Delis, Breakfast & Brunch, Tapas/Small Plates, Cafes |

Unfortunately, it was more bread than sweets, but we still walked away with some hygge buns and the most delicious foccocia bread.

Four of us went today, ordered sandwiches and an egg salad to go and all of it was just average at best, even below average. Much better to move along from here and especially at $18/sandwich.

Location: Easy to find off a main street. Don't mind the batting cages, or better yet, embrace them and get some practice in!
Ambiance: This place has plenty of outdoor seating and their service is quick. Very casual.
Food: My bf and I both did the triple play. I ordered the battered cod, carne asada, and grilled shrimp tacos. All of them were amazing. My bf ordered the battered cod, the grilled shrimp and crispy shrimp tacos. I will admit, the crispy shrimp tacos are really good.
Price: Such a good deal for pretty good sized tacos! Less than $10 for 3!

HdWBnil2buU1vf7PWjVzlw | UZvk5GxtlzORMk7X4x2dUg | lZ44dxn1TCzJaVBa8Ze8DQ | 4 | This place has become my go to place for nigiri. Whenever I am craving sushi I come here. This particular night, it was our first time eating in for dinner because our place had no electricity for 12 hours, we were hungry and needed some light. I usually order take out so it was different eating in. The rolls seemed a little bit bigger than when you order take out. The nigiri is usually consistent, occasionally when it's take out they sometimes give you more rice but the fish size is always the same. Some nigiris at other sushi places are tiny and cost double the price but at Sushi Teri the price is decent in comparison to the size of their nigiri. Which is the main reason I come here.
We ordered quite a few things to try out other than our usual. We got the calamari, dynamite, four types of rolls, and uni, unagi and salmon nigiris. For the longest time I was looking for a decent dynamite dish and had no idea they served it here because it was never in the appetizer section, it was hidden as a meal. I really liked it for the fact that it's bigger with a lot of scallops and a few big mussels, the price itself was decent considering other places sell it for about the same price for the size of an appetizer. As for the calamari appetizer, it was a horrible fail, the batter was thin but it was not crispy, the initial bite felt like a dried jerky texture on the outside then after that initial bite you get the tenderness of the calamari. The uni nigiri was fresh as usual, the unagi and salmon was great! The four rolls we ordered were called Monkey roll, orange roll, broken heart roll and the real crab roll, we specifically got these roll because it didn't have any imitation crab on the inside. The Monkey roll was out favorite out of the four rolls. Our least favorite roll was the real crab roll, it was super disappointing because there was not enough real crab in it to taste it. I hope this place stays the same because I will continue coming here for their nigiris! | 2021-12-30 01:04:24 | Sushi Teri | 5746 Calle Real | Goleta | CA | 93117 | 34.441702 | -119.824564 | Restaurants, Japanese |
SPFXoCu4x9oliMzWpUv_Yg | WUQnlbpemw1qOVeLMToWKg | IDtLPgUrqorrpqSLdfMhZQ | 4 | Stumbled on Helena Avenue Bakery after searching for a quick lunch to take on the road.
Southern Fried Chicken on brioche (sandwich): this fried chicken sandwich was one of the most unique ones I have ever eaten, if only it was executed properly..
The good: brioche (golden and good crumb, grilled so it was toasty); jalapeño jam (sweet with a nice kick); black pepper bacon (peppery as advertised and extremely crispy)
The "bad": the chicken was incredibly crunchy and chicken well seasoned, but unfortunately a bit dry and burnt on some ends.
I'd still recommend the chicken sandwich but I'd hope this was just an off day and that they don't aways serve burnt fried chicken because all of the other components of the sandwich were fantastic. Another gripe I have is that I ordered 3 spicy versions of the sandwich and none of them were spicy. Didn't go back because we were already on the freeway.
FYI: There's public parking (structure) available within walking distance to the bakery.

Ok, I will anyway. I went in after running an errand in SB and saw more varieties of Turkish delight than I knew existed. I tried a tiramisu flavor and a one with chocolate, banana and nuts. Both good, I got a piece of the later to go along with a strawberry chocolate and a couple of pieces or the aforementioned chocolate pistachio baklava. I waited until I got home to try that.
Amazing. That alone is worth the trip. Go here, eat that and try the cornucopia of Turkish delight.

Their pan con tomate with either jamon iberico or boquerones was one of the best I've had. It was so good we ordered two. The pulpo on top of puréed potatoes was also a winner.

TIP: Now, getting a table inside the restaurant can be difficult so you must go before they open. Our party of three went about 15 minutes before and we were able to be seated right as they opened. If not, you will be stuck in the line or you may not be seated.
The interior is beautiful and there is both indoor and outdoor seating with heaters. We started off ordering drinks! They have such amazing drinks such as the Paloma, the Reina, and Plata y Oro.
We started by ordering tapas and putting in our paella order at the same time as that takes some time to be prepared. So as you are finishing the tapas, the paella will be ready. Trust me, it's worth the wait. All of the tapas were DELICIOUS but the winner was the green beans! So tasty and savory!
But...let me get to the paella. We ordered the Chorizo y Pollo and it was 200/10. It took my right back to my visit to Barcelona. Everything about it was just delicious. I still think about it to this day.
We ended our meal with a sweet cheesecake to share.

8oxXSnXRsLpoPV9tBxW-LA | KdSkCiobXLUjIobDAYIBIA | WVNkMz4sEl35swjVtKHOFw | 4 | although a little bit overpriced, Alessia offers a wonderful selection of beautifully crafted desserts and pastries. Everything has at least two elements to them. You're never going to be disappointed with just one flavor. The pumpkin has also hints of cinnamon in the graham cracker crust on the bottom, likening it to almost a pumpkin pie but with a creamier cheesecake filling. The lemon tart has a wonderful meringue on the top and it's basically a mini lemon meringue but with raspberry jam filling on the inside. It's absolutely wonderful and the neighborhood is cozy. | 2021-12-30 09:55:55 | Alessia Patisserie & Cafe | 134 E Canon Perdido St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.422423 | -119.698361 | Bakeries, Food, Patisserie/Cake Shop, Cafes, Restaurants |

Albeit a little fishy smelling, but nothing better than a tasteful brunch on the beach. The menu is great for brunch but it looks like they have a wonderful dinner selection as well. They poach their eggs perfectly and the runny yolk makes a great flavor and texture additive to the wonderful thick cut pork and crabcakes that we ordered. I highly recommend this business on a beautiful sunny day. Sit on the beach front, even if you have to wait; you won't regret it. | 2021-12-30 09:57:16 | Boathouse at Hendry's Beach | 2981 Cliff Dr | Santa Barbara | CA | 93109 | 34.403257 | -119.743752 | Seafood, Restaurants, Hawaiian, American (New), Breakfast & Brunch |

I do need to applaud the decor, service and presentation of the food. They did an amazing job designing the restaurant. The attention to detail was spectaucular. The craftsmanship of the bar was impressive, the ceiling was stunning and the tiled floor was beautiful. The service was great. The hostess and waiter were polite and attentive but not overbearing. The food was beautifully plated.
The problem was how the food was prepared. Or, at least the dishes my friend and I tried. I asked the waiter for a recommendation - rosemary chicken. My fault for not reading the description. When I hear rosemary chicken I think roasted chicken. Instead, what I got was a deep fried chicken smothered in gravy and ... cheese. Cheese? Not at all what I was expecting. It was a heart attack on a plate. I couldn't sleep that night. I felt like someone had inserted a brick into my stomach.
My friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. Same thing. Yes, stroganoff has a cream sauce...but that much? The noodles were drowning in cream sauce.
This is California. We don't eat like this.
I'll come back again during the day or early evening as I know the view is spectacular here. I'll be more careful reading the menu next time. | 2021-12-30 12:06:21 | Reunion Kitchen + Drink | 1118 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.417019 | -119.668975 | American (New), Restaurants, Salad, Burgers |

There are lots of options. I love the Mexican Roll and their yellowtail dishes. | 2021-12-30 12:46:39 | Sun Sushi | 3631 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93105 | 34.440193 | -119.741516 | Restaurants, Japanese, Sushi Bars |

Was out celebrating a late Christmas with my 24 year old daughter was buying her a few gifts at the Beachouse around the block and said hey let's have dinner over at this Mexican place hear it's good. Walk over, there was a small line the couple ahead of us I guess got the last available table, as the host was seating them a gentleman walks up ends up
Being Edgar Munoz The regional Director of operations standing in for the eve. says the 2 of you? I was prepared to hear it will be awhile, says we only have seats at the bar, he looks at me and my girl says give me a min, comes back and says right this way and proceeds to sit us at what looked like one of the better tables in the house. It was a 4 top that's restaurant speak for it seats 4 people as I used to wait tables in Hawaii when a young surfer. Let's just say one fine way to start your dinner experience and it didn't stop there, within a min there were warm chips and some Great tasting salsas on our table, asked the busboy if we could have and order of guacamole, no more than 2 mins had passed and the guacamole was on the table, and frankly some of the best I have ever had! The waiter was kind and engaging, the Food was fabulous!! I had steak tacos and my daughter has the enchiladas, have to give the experience 5 stars tho the night belongs to Edgar!! I was so impressed besides leaving a generous tip at the table I attempted to personally tip Edgar and he refused, saying he is well taken care of by the restaurant, class act don't know of any in the service industry that refuses a tip, Bravo Mr Munoz, I grew up in Santa Barbara and have now become an official flag waver for Flor De Maiz!!!!! | 2021-12-30 16:02:20 | Flor De Maiz | 29 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.413192 | -119.688438 | Restaurants, Nightlife, Mexican, Bars, Cocktail Bars |

Many Indian restaurants have come and gone from downtown State Street, but I hope this one is here to stay. Everything is great, and their Butter Chicken is a must. We will be regulars here. | 2021-12-30 16:10:18 | Apna Indian Kitchen | 718 State St | Santa Barbara | CA | 93101 | 34.419239 | -119.698387 | Gluten-Free, Gastropubs, Vegan, Restaurants, Indian |

We had booked teo rooms here for a vacation. My profile AND when I checking i always reiterate a higher floor and quiet room. So, my family and I arrive at 11:00 am and the rooms are not Vailable. No problem. It's very early, so we leave our luggage and go about our day. We receive a call around 1:45 that a room is ready. Great. We're still out. We arrive around 3:15. 2nd room still isn't ready. We go to the first room. Its noisy as heck.Why? Its right next to the housekeeping closet. None if us could take a nap, and we have 5:00 reservations. We call the front desk, who insist the noise isn't because we're next to Housekeeping, but its our 2nd room being cleaned (based on the noise, reconstruction would be a more accurate term). 15 minutes go by, 30 minutes, etc. Its now past 4:00. I go and speak with the manager, who tells us that the person hasn't left their room yet (so it wasn't being cleaned). You get the drift...could write about this another 20 minutes. You see, I haven't had my morning coffee yet because I have been waiting in the lobby for more than 30 minutes for it (though they are insisting it's on its way up...). Ending this now. Going to get in the car and drive to a coffee shop. I will not stay here again. I will not recommend it. | 2021-12-30 16:25:02 | Mar Monte Hotel - Hyatt | 1111 E Cabrillo Blvd | Santa Barbara | CA | 93103 | 34.41769 | -119.668525 | Hotels, Restaurants, Beauty & Spas, Hotels & Travel, Day Spas, Event Planning & Services |
