“The Calamari, Brussel Sprouts and Short Ribs were the tables favs. The brownie Sundae was a happy nostalgic treat. I love that you're able to choose both vanilla and chocolate or just one flavor if you'd like. Renee and Christina gave exceptional service. Would absolutely return. Thanks for making our birthday celebration special.“

“Very nice service and food. It was amazing and I really recommend the curry chicken of you like spicy food :). The restaurant is located right next to the highway and the door dash order screen kept beeping and it took them a long time to turn it off.“

“Came a few days ago and did a mixed tasting flight for $25. Two whites and three reds. Everything was good! We were helped by owner Lenny, who is super personable and friendly! The tasting room is super cute and perfect for enjoying the wines.“

“Great venue. Wonderful crowd!“

“Attended a rehearsal dinner here last week. Atmosphere was lovely and food was awesome. The best part was the staff- I left behind a very expensive pair of sunglasses and woke up the next morning in a panic when I realized they weren't in my bag. I went back by the restaurant and the nicest lady, Tamara, took my number and said she would reach out to the staff to see if anyone had found them. An hour later, she called and had my sunnies! Lot of integrity with their staff and it made my trip!“

“Great location, service, wine, family friendly, dog friendly and live music what’s not to love ❤️“

“Wine tasting in a relax, low key, fun place. Excellent wines. Our server explained all the wines to us. We enjoyed the meat and cheese board. It was very relaxing and not rushed. The bathrooms are very clean. They had bottles for sale and a little shop. Pleasant atmosphere.“

“Our server,Cole R, was awesome-very informed and articulate. Food was amazing-cannot overstate the incredible preparation and presentation of the prime rib!“

“Tasty wines and wonderful staff💛 Stopped by here walking around Santa Barbara and ordered a flight to get a taste of both white and reds. I loved that they had that option! The lady who helped me was very kind and knowledgeable and yapped with me during my visit there. I felt very welcomed and hope to come back soon!“

“We had a fantastic experience at Fox Wine Company. The tasting room is nestled inside the Waterline—a cool, industrial space shared with Topa Topa Brewery, Lama Dog Tap Room, Kiva Cowork, and The Nook Eatery, founded by Master Chef Norbert Guehr. The setup is perfect—guests can enjoy incredible wines and order delicious food from The Nook, which gets delivered right to your table.

A special shoutout to Evett, who made our visit exceptional. He was incredibly informative, professional, and engaging. His knowledge and passion for wine elevated the whole experience, and because of him, we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend! 🍷“

“Ca'Dario was a delightful experience. High quality Italian cuisine marked by every dish excellently flavored. Antonio, our server, was very accommodating and pleasant. Reasonable pricing“

“Complimentary sourdough bread - served hot with whipped butter! This was a satisfying start because the last restaurant we went to earlier in the day was served cold bread with stiff butter.

Raw Oysters - grassy bar from morro bay. Tasted fresh, non fishy, and premium as described.

Charbroiled oysters - flavorful and tender. Actually went well with the complimentary bread.

Lure fries - thinner cut, crispy, and well seasoned. Supposedly they use lemony seasoning they usually flavor fish with.

Clam linguini - perfect balance of flavor, lightness, and health, with plenty of clams. Not too thick or heavy.

Service: Julissa was very friendly and welcoming to first timers and explained items on the menu well, including their local daily catch menu. We also sat by the back wall for more quiet & privacy, and she checked in on us at the right times and frequency without being overly attentive or having us talk mid-bite. 5 stars!

This was our favorite seafood spot during our 3 day santa barbara trip. Would definitely return!“

“We hosted our engagement party at Jamie Slone Wines and had such a great experience. The staff was super friendly and made everything feel easy and relaxed. The wines were amazing, def one of the best we’ve had in Santa Barbara.

The space itself is beautiful and perfect for an event or casual wine tasting with friends. Prices are also really reasonable for the quality. Overall, highly recommend Jamie Slone if you’re looking for one of the best wineries and best wine tastings in the area.“
