“It being my first time here. It was an amazing experience. One of the best butter chicken I’ve had. We did the lunch special and for the price it was very worth it. Service was amazing. Our server Joban was consistently checking in on my partner and I making sure we were okay and filled on water. I would highly recommend this place if you live in SB or visiting.“

“Best noodles I’ve ever had“

“Good food 👍 Great service!“

“The pan-seared peppercorn-crusted filet mignon with potatoes au gratin and sautéed asparagus were as good as I've had anywhere. Thick, small and perfectly cooked medium-rare. And the thinly-sliced tomato salad was the perfect starter. We brought our own wine, but their in-house selection is outstanding. The staff were all extremely courteous and helpful. Our waiter, Dominic, was professional and attentive, and we never felt rushed. We enjoyed a two and a half hour anniversary dinner in a lovely outdoor setting and will definitely revisit when we're back in Santa Barbara! Thanks to everyone at Bouchon for a very special evening.“

“Awesome meal with the finest ingredients! Romantic evening with the wife.“

“Best tacos ever! Great variety“

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

“The food was excellent“

“Great food and helpings -- 5/5. The kitchen was a bit busy and four of us were served our lunch about 15 minutes before the fifth one. Oddly, only one person got utensils and a napkin; another got utensils and no napkin and the other three were not give any until we asked twice for forks, knives, and napkins. I am not sure why that happened. This was a Tuesday afternoon, at 2:15pm. The service was pleasant and attentive but the odd utensil situation and food delivery lowered the service ro a 3.5 or 4/5. Atmosphere was good, fine, 4/5.“

“Very very very good. It has authentic Chinese food and I got recommended great dishes, shout out Patrick. The buildings not the best in shape but I didn't come to gawk at the architecture, I came to grub and it honestly is some of the best Chinese food i've had in a while. Will come back whenever i'm hungry for Chinese in SB.“

“Ensaladas y mariscos en realidad todo está riquísimo“

“Maiz Picante catered our wedding recently and did a phenomenal job! Not only were they professional, but the food was outstanding. We got nonstop praises about the food and service. I will definitely be using them again when we have another event. Otherwise, I try and support them whenever we are in town. They are friendly, professional, and know their food!“

“Absolutely delicious! Had the steak eggs Benedict. Liked it so much came back a second time and got the breakfast croissant.“

“good Mexican food.. burrito's n tacos off the chain!!!“

“Food was great! We tried the sweet breads- my favorite, lobster gnocchi-daughters fave, ramen-good, scallops-super lite and fresh, and the catch of the day-very tasty. The amazing menu doesn’t necessarily lend itself to picky kid eaters (my son) but he loved the catch of the day with the sauce on the side. The food took a while as they were pretty busy so the manager comp’d 2 desserts which were both spectacular! We will be back!!“

“Everyone is Very pleasant“

“Tasty food at reasonable prices served by super friendly people - a winning combination!

We were shopping in the area and decided to eat here based on the ratings. It has a small indoor dining area but is heavily focused on outdoor seating. We ordered and paid at the counter and they brought our food out to us once seated. From the order to the food delivery, everyone we encountered was very pleasant and helpful.

The food was freshly prepared, had good portion sizes and tasted great. Everyone commented on how good it was. I had the ham torta and it was delicious. Nice combo of ingredients, excellent bread and just a hint of heat.“

“We went because we saw you on Diner Drive in and Dives. We've always we wanted to try a restaurant previewed on this show but they were all back east or mid west to far for dinner. So when we saw this In our own back yard we were in. Amazing food great atmosphere staff impressive and cocktails yummy too. Some many great options too. DEFINITELY coming back. thanks Bettina.😘“

“Great lunch and very comfortable“

“This was an experience of a lifetime. Everything was amazing and I couldn’t recommend it more. Cheers“

“Must write a comment for this authentic Thai Restaurant! The Curry Noodle is so yummy! Boat noodle and Pad Thai are also delicious. The owner said that he is from Bangkok, and I guess that’s why the food is as good as the ones we tried in Bangkok years before. We parked the car in Parking Lot 12 and walked to the restaurant in 1 min. The first 75 mins parking is free, and $3 per hour after. The food was served quickly. We went to the Lot after lunch and it was free parking.“

“I logged in and happened to notice that this place had a 4.3 rating, and I thought to myself how absurd that is. This restaurant is nothing short of wonderful - from the location, to the ingredients, to the drinks/vibe. Also sneaky has some of the best desserts in Santa Barbara (that Pavlova!). Compliments to the owners for keeping up the quality and experience for over a decade.“

“Great food and service. Beautiful location.“

“Stopped to charge the car nearby and had lunch. Food was fantastic! Highly recommend the meatloaf and double toad in the hole! Hash browns were crispy and buttery. Will be back when we’re in town next! ❤️“

“I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve ordered from here, including the jalapeño poppers, chicken and waffles, and the pot pies! Seriously well done, and the prices are super affordable for Santa Barbara too.“

“Lisa, Coco & staff do an amazing job with this fine restaurant. The “hype” and “customer excitement” is unique. You will not be disappointed.“

“This restaurant is A M A Z I N G 😀 The tastes and creations are absolute delicious - they have wine too and all kinds of good food and drink, I highly recommend!“

“This ia a greate place! Their menu is fantastic—finally, something different. The green salsa is unique. The Montecristo is expertly made, and the green chile is a work of art.

I also have to mention that our server, Valeria, made our visit even more enjoyable; she was very friendly.

This is a must-visit spot!“

“Friendly staff. Great Happy Hour specials.“

“Never had tapas like these! Loved it! So sad we live in Europe…would go there everyday! It was soooo jummy!“

“A great place for celebrating! You always have a great experience at The Palace“

“Great bartenders who make amazing drinks. The best pork chop in town!“

“Some of the freshest, best tasting Thai food I have had in a nice, family owned restaurant in Carpinteria. Better than places in NYC and downtown LA. Good size portions, great prices for the quality of food, and great service. Tonight was Prik King Beef and Laos style Khao Soi..but every dish has been 10/10 each visit!“

“We were there late afternoon, in time for the happy hour menu (nice selection) we actually sat at the bar in the dining area, very nice atmosphere. Our waiter was excellent, beside servicing our needs, his job was preparing all the oyster dishes for the tables... fresh and grilled. We had a few of the grilled upon his suggestion, the oysters were excellent... done just right with butter and garlic. We ordered off the HH menu, and were not disappointed. Would definitely return... now on our favorite list of food eateries in the SB area. And the mixed drinks 👌.“

“Nice atmosphere, delicious food!“

“Best bands,great people and the best partner“
