Fun place to dine, there's a lot of interesting history behind this place, the food is delicious, and the serving size seems to be just enough. (The biscuits and gravy are a rather large serving)

I won’t give Esau’s a bad review because I’ve had many great breakfasts there, and have never given a review before. My wife and I ate there last night and I had the chicken pot pie. I love pot pie, but this was not what I expected. It was a very small helping and there wasn’t any crust like a traditional pot pie. It was just the filing, like a thick soup, with a small amount of chicken and a square piece of a soft biscuit placed on top, with no sides. The price wasn’t posted and I assumed since it was the special of the night it would be an ample amount of food for a reasonable price. But for $22, for a small amount of food, is not what I am accustomed to from this restaurant. My wife had the claim chowder for $9.50 which was almost as much food as I had. I was still hungry when I got home!

Came to Carpinteria to check this place out. After a reasonable wait out front, I asked if as a single it was okay to sit at the counter. The tall, quiet host who seemed bothered that people were there, showed me to a bar seat. Before sitting down, I noticed creamer spilled on the seat so I retrieved a napkin and wiped it down myself. I sat down with a smile, thinking the place had a pretty cool, old school, vibe. After saying hello to 6 different employees that passed, nobody acknowledged me or even brought me a water. Ten minutes, sitting there wondering if someone was going to acknowledge me. I picked out the Lox Benedict and was looking forward to comparing it to my local favorite. 5 more minutes went by and I was watching the chefs in the kitchen bicker a little, one with black gloves on the other, thicker, chef with no gloves. Then I watched in horror as the one with no gloves sneezed into his hand and then rubbed his nose briefly. I expected he would head to wash his hands but nope. Straight back to cooking. I glanced around a busy restaurant and thought, wow….nobody saw that? No thanks! I got up and quietly exited. Too bad. I had been anxious to check this place out since buying a place in town a year ago.
Cool beach spot. Long wait for food to come. Food was subpar at best.

The food and the service were great, and everyone was really helpful. The menu was familiar but also had items we weren't used to seeing. There was a little bit of something for everyone. I came here with my mom my dad and my 10yr old.
