“We love this place! Food is great“

“I rated our dining experience down a notch because the service is a little slow. The servers are pleasant and nice, but I realize they are short staffed and they never explain or apologize for the slow service The food is excellent however, when one finally gets it. The ambience is the best part of dining at Caya. It is outdoors and they have heaters if needed. They do have indoor seating, but it isn't as pleasant. It is relaxed casual and not for a romantic date. It is an upbeat, lively atmosphere.“

“Despite my last not so great visit in March I stopped in with some friends to give it another try. Food was fresh and delicious, service was fantastic. Happy surprise after the horrible service in March! Thank you!“

“Love this place, the staff is nice, so well as all of the regulars, as this is a locals spot. The food and drinks are great as well.“

“Came to Santa Barbara and we needed some good food so we came to chili’s it never disappoints
Food was on point delicious steak cooked perfectly the ribs are always so yummy yummy service is always good palce always clean they always deserve 5 stars. Every time we come to see my son at USBC we come to this chillis it always hits the spot.“

“Today it was my kids first time bowling, when we arrived there was maybe 6 or 8 people ahead of us, we wait patiently and my daughter and son were so excited, when it was our turn for being help. I asked the young lady behind the counter (Cindy) for two season passes for my kids. Cindy apologized and said: "I'm sorry our system is down and we can't sell any season passes at the moment, if you like to come back later." My four year old was about to start crying when I told her that we might have to come back later. Right away Cindy said " I can let your kids play one game as a courtesy and sorry for the inconvenience". My son and daughter had a great time. Thank you to Cindy for saving our day. We will definitely come back soon and I really appreciate how well Cindy handled the whole situation. Big kudos young lady!“

“Awesome bar where they mix up some awesome drinks! Live music on Tues and it was really good! Loved the drinks, atmosphere was really sweet, and the service was great! Go here to get some expertly mixed Mezcal drinks and enjoy the downtown Santa Barbara vibes!“

“Great spot for low-key locals.“

“Beautiful place, amazing staff and delicious food and drinks! I definitly recommend.“

“Food is fantastic and so delicious!“

“I love the Crocodile Restaurant!! I found this place last year when I was asked to perform for a birthday there. I knew it would be the right atmosphere for my vocal entertainment. I'm there every THURSDAY & FRIDAY night! (5:30-7:30) I sing mostly romantic songs but change it up for the kids to enjoy the fun of live music. I love taking requests to make the evening what the guests want it to be. The extensive food menu as well as the variety on the song menu make this restaurant a really cool place.“

“This is a little slice of heaven. What a nifty joint. A little swanky spot with yummy hand crafted cocktails. Such a great atmosphere. Get here early though. The place tends to fill up. Another great feature is that it connects to the wildcat around back. So you can always start your evening here and then transition to the kitty later. Really enjoy their drinks in this cool retro-like place.

Parking: take an uber or lyft. cops are just waiting to get you here on ortega.“

“Looking forward to some more live music and a nice selection of whiskey. The bartenders here are super cool ! also , the location is great !“

“Authentic, and a pleasant surprise.“

“This place is on W micheltorena near super cucas. Really cool spot. Strongggg drinks, so be careful. They have a pool table which is nice and the bartender is friendly. Great place to hang out with friends. Check them out next time you're on the west side.

Parking: easy parking“

“I literally cant say enough about this place..... The bartenders were super nice, the atmosphere has a great vibe and the karaoke was awesome fun! The DJ was organized, he interacted with the crowd and was super friendly. Not to mention the patrons were all so nice... everybody claps and cheers for you, if I lived there I would be there every week, for sure! Cant wait to go back!“

“Great service, delicious food and nice atmosphere. The guys who was playing guitar on a street was fantastic 🤗!“

“Small bar on upper State Street. Two bar-box pool tables and league play on Tuesday nights. Live music. While the place is not upscale it is uptown. Cash & credit card payments accepted. Friendly staff. Full bar.

The area where this place really shines is both in their slightly more upscale liquor selection as well as a very refined food menu. Excellent pizzas and a variety of other delectables that are well-above the typical bar fare. Prices are typical of Santa Barbara but you're getting very good quality for the money you spend.

Nice spot to hang out if you like pool or music or cocktails.

Dietary restrictions: Inquire carefully

Parking: Parking is a challenge. Street parking out front, otherwise you're hunting in the neighborhood off State Street.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Amazing service and good. The decor was great. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and chicken Sharma platter. Both were great. I let our server know we would be driving back home thst might and it ws about a 3 hour drive so he checked in with us multiple times and made sure we had a great experience. Pricing is very reasonable for santa barbara. Highly recommend!!!“

“Took our youngest for her 16th and the staff was exceptional, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the food was delicious! Thank you!“

“I stopped in at twelve and it was not busy at all mostly people who worked in the area picking up to go orders. I had the lunch special of chicken salad and garlic bread, drink and a cookie for $15 and enjoyed it. the chicken was tender and tasty and the salad was quite nice. The patio dining is very beautiful.“

“It should be noted that this is the 'new' Sportsman Lounge location on State Street. It's decidedly a more upscale vibe than the dive/locals bar feel of the old location off Figueroa and Chapala. Which accounts for some of the older reviews. The move happened shortly before Covid brought the world down, and I'm grateful Sporty's survived! It's a good place now and it was a good place before, but the new location results in a decidedly new vibe.

One bar-box pool table and league play on Tuesday nights. Full bar. Prime location on State Street which makes for an interesting mixture of long-time Sporty's regulars as well as first time walk-ins. Either way you'll be welcome and will make friends here if that's what you're looking for.

Vegetarian options: No food.

Parking: Downtown Santa Barbara is not a fun place for parking. But after dark there is more free street parking around the area - but you have to hunt for it. Otherwise it's the pay parking lots in the area.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“The bar tenders on the third floor are horrible. After waiting 10 minutes they refused to sell me beer and friend wine. Went to second floor and got drink service in less than 30 sec. Place would be better off installing a vending machine on the third floor to replace the bar.“

“This is a total dive bar, but a fun place. If you're gonna go, do it on a Monday when they have an open mic night for stand up comedy. You'll have a good time. Parking is a little tough. They do have a free lot on site, but I haven't seen many spots open. You can park on de la vina

Parking: Parking is a little tough since this is right on Carrillo.“

“We have we our company holiday lunch the attention was excellent as the service all the staff is super friendly el señor the Manager Marciano is awesome 👏 Felipe as well I highly recommended this place and the food and drinks just awesome 👏👏👏👏was a great time“

“Amazing steak , fantastic service.. we loved it 😍“

“Just to inform you that the name Dutch is the English name for the language and the inhabitants of the Netherlands. They are called the Dutch, and the language spoken is Dutch. There is nothing Dutch about the food. It’s more traditional German food, so maybe rename the restaurant Deutsch.
And the language and culture are not the same.“

“ambience and stuff are very friendly. food tastes amazing 😋👌 good non alcoholic beverages 🍹🧋“

“Stopped by after a local recommended this place and it was well with the stop for drinks and a great snack! We had frose, burgers and tacos and everything was so delish! We especially liked that it was dog friendly and had a puppy menu! 🐾“

“I gotta say it was my first time trying the food I order yaters meal it was a grilled chicken sammich with the toppings and the Caesar salad with shaved parmesan cheese with croutons and fries with ranch. It was soo delishhhhhh!!! I highly recommend you give it a whirl. Follow Your Taste Buds!!!!“

“A hidden gem in Santa Barbara, off the beaten path, super- funky dive, great little bar in the front and a charming back patio for groups and birthdays and where the bad kids smoke. Pool table, couches, secluded tables and good music. A must visit.“

“Alex is the best! Food is great, and the service is amazing.“

“This is the best pizza place I've ever been to. The pizza's dough tastes so fresh and has a bunch of flavor. I love the flat sheets of thin Parmesan on top because it has great flavor. Definitely would recommend going here if you love wood fired pizza!!!

Kid-friendliness: There is a nice area with picnic benches and grass which is great for eating. There is also a fence around most of it which is good for keeping your kids surrounded. Great for kids! We also like to bring our dog here!“

“sumptuous food. great beers and wine. a favorite place to meet old neighborhood friends every time I visit!“

“some good shows and supports local punk rock“

“Great place to dine. Awesome servers & bartenders. The food is amazing. My favorite dish is the Blackened Ace Cut Primerib. The fried chicken is also great.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. It's a little tight inside but definitely accessible.“

“Love this restaurant, great service and their menu keeps getting better.“

“Great food, drinks, and desserts.“

“Whenever we visit a new city, I google the top restaurants and try out #1 and #2 and it just so happened that Finch and Fork was #1. We arrived early for our reservation, so we had a drink at the bar and were greeted by Sebastian. He was very personable and knowledgeable and we felt that he cared and enjoyed what he does for his customers. We were then greeted by the manager and escorted to our table and wished my husband a Happy Birthday. Oddly enough, our waiter also was the person who served us breakfast at the hotel we were staying at. Being in the hotel industry myself, this was very common for food and beverage employees to work at multiple establishments. Since we had viewed the menu while sitting at the bar, we already knew what we wanted to order for dinner. We had the F&F Deviled Eggs, Black Garlic Caesar, Fried Chicken and Hope Ranch Mussels. Everything was amazing and delicious. We would definitely refer this restaurant to our family and friends.“

“Delicious meal however the waitress forgot to order a dish. Once she realized this she told us you just have to share the first while waiting for the 2nd to arrive... and for your information a real limoncello is served iced and not at room temperature.“
