“This restaurant deserves 3 Michelin stars (based on my experience with Michelin rated restaurants, starting with Paul Bocuse in Lyon, Le Bernadin in NYC, and Le Pre Catelan in Paris). From the oceanside table, the Chef’s Tasting Menu, the Reserve Wine Pairing, to the wonderful conversations with the Chef, expert Sommeliers (with the most impressive wine list I have ever seen globally), highly knowledgeable and warm, caring, restaurant staff, everything was perfect for my birthday celebration with my wonderful wife!”

“The lightest, buttery moist scones. They also had hamburgers and salads that looked were very generous portions. All was freshly made. The silverware was REAL silverware.”

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

“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!”

“We were visiting Santa Barbara for three nights from San Jose and were honestly shocked when we came across this Indian restaurant with 4.9 stars on Google Maps. We decided to give it a shot with no expectations, and it turned out to be one of the most authentic and best Indian food experiences I have ever had in the United States. Hands down.

The first time, we tried the Tandoori Paneer Tikka and Malai Kofta, and both were extremely delicious. The garlic naan was so soft and fresh. They also gave us kheer as a complimentary dessert, which was such a kind gesture from Jogan and the entire staff.

The service was quick, and everyone was genuinely friendly. We enjoyed it so much that we couldn’t resist going back for a second time during our three night stay.

The second time, we tried Shahi Paneer, Yellow Dal Tadka with rice, and salted lassi. Once again, they surprised us with complimentary kheer. The Shahi Paneer was rich, creamy, and absolutely hit the spot. The naan was incredibly soft, and the Yellow Dal Tadka was probably my favorite. It was a much simpler preparation with just the right amount of spices, but the flavor was spot on.

The staff here is genuinely welcoming and friendly, and the food is clearly made with care. We would absolutely come back here the next time we are in Santa Barbara.

Parking is also very easy. There is a public parking lot right behind the restaurant and another one across the street. The City of Santa Barbara parking gives you the first 75 minutes free, and after that it is $3 per hour, which makes dining here even more convenient.

Highly, highly recommended. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back!”

“Parking can be a struggle, but it's totally worth it. One of, if not, the best places to eat in town.”

“We own the gallery a couple doors down, and love getting pickup for here for the late open nights. The crispy rice salad is ridiculously amazing and the chicken wings are some of the best weve ever had.”

“triple d, food network, Guy visited it”

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. Will return again.”

“Amazing food and restaurant! Best quality food I encountered in the area, and it had a beautiful aesthetic which gorgeous indoor and outdoor seating. Reasonably priced for the quality and dining experience. Highly recommend!”

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

“good portions in the tacos. very tasty and fast service. the line seems overwhelming at first but moves fast. Will definitely be back, when in the area.”

“If you're looking to make a lasting impression on your special someone, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. With its refined ambiance, exquisite cuisine, and impressive wine selection, it offers a truly exceptional dining experience. Having had the pleasure of dining at numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, I can confidently attest that this one stands out from the rest. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by beautiful gardens and breathtaking views, leading to private bungalows. The staff's warm hospitality and welcoming smiles further enhance the experience. For a truly unforgettable high-end dining experience, this venue is an absolute must.”

“This is a great spot in the scenic mountain area of Santa Barbara California. Awesome food and the staff is amazing. Perfect stop for lunch while on a motorcycle ride.”

“Ensaladas y mariscos en realidad todo está riquísimo”

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

“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.”

“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.😘”

“I anticipated that my trip to Santa Barbara would be highlighted by the beaches and ambiance of the city but I was wildly mistaken upon entering St. Bibiana. I entered this establishment with very few expectations as I simply just wanted a bite to eat but I left with non-quantifiable delight. I was met with who I presume to be the owner, Gabe, who hosted my family and I with a warm smile and a brief description of their story. He recommended two of their specialty pizzas--the Lemon Mushroom and the Figgy Piggy--and I gave them both a shot along with a side of the garlic knots. Little did I know, I was going to be having the best meal of my trip and two of the best, if not the best, pizzas I have ever eaten in my lifetime. Their combinations may seem peculiar but they are finely crafted to perform the Waltz on the dance floor that are your tastebuds. If it wasn't enough that we were served a delectable meal, Gabe graciously sent us a slice of another specialty (limited) pizza called the peach ricotta and again brought us to awe. We thank everyone in that establishment for making our day and a fair chunk of our trip. To Gabe, thank you extra for your generosity and hospitality.

Best,”

“Amazing food and service 😊”

“We had breakfast this morning and it didn’t disappoint! Very professional pastries, the staff were efficient and friendly the French toast and the omelette perfectly made. As a French chef i recommend strongly this place for the quality and the professionalism of the delightful pastry shop”

“Paloma is a beautiful spot with a stylish atmosphere, delicious food, and attentive service. The menu offers creative dishes made with fresh ingredients and plenty of flavor. The inviting setting makes it perfect for date night, dinner with friends, or a special evening out. Great drinks, thoughtful presentation, and a welcoming vibe make it worth visiting!”

“Food is super delicious and the place is nice and quiet for a good and relaxing meal
Their lunch Special is amazing too
Good prices for amazing food
Doesn't get better than that!!!”

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

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

“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!!”

“Excelente atención , buenas ubicación”

“Everyone is Very pleasant”

“The Yukon Gold Cinnamon Roll is a DON’T MISS ITEM! The best cinnamon roll I’ve EVER had! The Dirty Fries were amazing. The Shrimp Cocktail - the best part was the sauce 🤦🏻‍♀️.”

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

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

I have really enjoyed everything I have ordered here! I will visit often!”

“My husband and I hosted our wedding reception dinner at Marisella, and we could not be more grateful for the experience. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was truly outstanding. Erica and Milo went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, making us and our guests feel welcomed, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the evening. Their attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine kindness made such a meaningful impact on our celebration. Our wedding reception was an incredibly special evening, and Marisella played a significant role in making it so memorable. We are sincerely thankful to the entire team for helping create such a wonderful experience that we will always cherish.”

“Dennys upper state street! Santa Barbara The perfect birthday party location! Neptune Radio 📻 reporting...”

“Loved the quality of food. The music is a bit weird and too loud but tolerable. Loved the selections or suggestions on the menu from Mr. Babu . Very warm person. Thank you so much.”

“The service was poor, our server was rude and inattentive, my drink arrived nearly two hours later as we were leaving, and our food order was incorrect. To make matters worse, I discovered my designer limited-edition bag charm was missing immediately after we left. We had only walked out for a short period of time to watch the fireworks. A report was filed, and the police were notified by the security team. This raises concerns about safety here. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant.”

“he menu is impressive. There are tons of options sushi, bowls, wraps, desserts and most stuff is raw or mostly raw, with really interesting flavor combinations. I especially loved the rainbow wrap & some of the juice choices. Presentation is beautiful.”

“We made a weekend trip from Miami to Santa Barbara mostly just to visit Kin lol. I had seen them on socials and reddit and I'm a sucker for great food and an even better experience. Kin is such a special place. Yes, the line is long but it is oh so worth it. We literally visited every day, twice a day over the long weekend and tried almost every drink and baked treat on the menu LOL. Can't go wrong with anything. Everyday I had a new favorite, it's THAT GOOD. The coconut cloud matcha, and pandan matcha are the best I've ever had. The cookie butter cream top is also stellar. The donuts speak for themselves, but trust me, the flavors taste just as good as they sound reading them on a menu. So thankful we got to try Kin and thank you a million times over to the staff and the amazing owner. I don't know how they do it but they manage to still be warm and friendly even with how insanely busy they are non-stop. For anyone complaining about the lines or prices, this is prob not your vibe. Those of us who get it, 'get it.' I really hope to be able to come back and visit in the future. I wish sooooo much success for this team and hope Kin sticks around and expands (hopefully to Miami lol)”

“We love the ice creams. It’s superb!”

“Great food, seafood really fresh. Very good service. My pasta was very good. It was very crowded and had a long waiting time, but because we were really in a rush, they let us in earlier. One thing - for me, it was way too loud. And no restrooms inside. But other than that - a very good place to eat”

“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!”

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

“My new favorite coffee shop!! Made from scratch flavors for lattes, made from scratch almond milk, amazing menu, staff and variety of exquisite drinks!. 💛”

“great beers and atmosphere from the newest brewpub in town. It's cool because there will always be different brews on tap along with a great menu.”

“This place is great! My non-vegan family members loved it, too! Delicious desserts, also! Definitely recommend!”

“Amazing! They fixed a lunch dish that was vegetarian on the menu, but was glad to add chicken for me. Zucchini, onions, mushrooms over pasta with olive oil base. One of the best dishes I have ever eaten. Thank You so much, and will definitely recommend to friends traveling to Santa Barbara! Will be back with my family when we return for sure!”

“Poke House is a great spot for fresh, flavorful poke bowls with plenty of tasty options to customize your meal. The ingredients taste fresh, the portions are satisfying, and the variety of toppings and sauces makes every bowl unique. The casual atmosphere and friendly service make it perfect for a quick lunch, healthy dinner, or easy meal on the go.”

“Actually impressed with their Deli style Sandwiches , had a Veit nom nom , impressed and tasty and very filling. More stuff with the Italian roll.”

“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! ❤️”

“Happy Cat is a charming spot with a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of tasty options. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with satisfying portions and great presentation. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. A great place to stop by for a relaxed, delicious meal and to enjoy the view.”

“Hi I enjoyed it very much thank”

“I can't even say I have a favorite. It's all good. When you bring home a warm loaf, all is well with the world.”

“I had a great experience at Nick the Greek. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The gyro was especially good with well-seasoned meat and really tasty tzatziki. The portions were generous and the staff was friendly. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick, delicious Greek meal.”

“I went for their Sunday/Monday omakase and it was a wonderful experience!

The atmosphere was dim and moody, but bright enough for me to see, my eyes do not do well in very dim places, the vibes were excellent. To see 'Howls moving castle' playing made me feel like I was in a safe space. The omakase was very intimate but also warm and welcoming because of the staff.

The omakase itself was a dream, my only wish was that I had double the serving of fish. Everything on the menu was spectacular and cared for by the chef. This experience has made me so grateful, I will definitely be returning to the Rodeo Room for a drink, a bite, or even the omakase again!”

“This bar is a gem. I had three cocktails over two visits that each impressed me. One even converted me to mezcal! The staff were helpful and knowledgeable and helped me make good choices; my advice is to go for the slightly risky thing because it’s likely to pay off. Also, the olives are *amazing*.”

“Great dive bar with super friendly service and a fun vibe. It's located right next to the restaurant which closes earlier than the bar. We heard some music and figured it out. Glad we did!”

“Incredible well balanced coffee!!! 10-10”

“I had a fantastic time celebrating my birthday 🎂🎈at Buena Onda last night! I wanna give a shoutout 🙌to Matias and all the team at Buena Onda for providing us with delicious food, excellent service, music for dancing and great atmosphere. Thank you so much! Muito obrigada! 💐💗”

“Best pretzels in town!!!!”

“Friendly staff. Great Happy Hour specials.”

“Like the food. Good for reasonable priced Mediterranean.”

“I've been going to the Blue Owl with my daughters since it opened. The food is fantastic. The vibe is the closest to being in a late night New York eater. I always feel home here. And of course I love the Tuesday night open mic comedy. A staple in the Santa Barbara Comedy Scene.”

“Lots of flavors to try and they are tasty”

“Attention to detail and fresh look”

“Everyone seems to have their favorite coffee shop. This one’s mine. The people are nice, the coffee is good, and the seating is plentiful.”

“Awesome! First experience with sushi!”

“great tacos! highly recommended.”

“Handlebar: Very Dog~friendly ~ a plus for me & associated dog :) I like the woodsy indoor and outdoor settings. Good coffee (only tried the mocha so far) that tastes like coffee, not overly sugary flavorings. The 2 baked goods tested ~ an apple turnover and a vegan cowboy oat cookie ~ were a miss for me, but maybe some other selections are better. Buoyant, airy atmosphere. Friendly, non~glaring, 20~ something staff, not overly solicitous but not hostile, is always a plus. Some of the staff elsewhere who I’ve encountered is like: 1) they resent their job; 2) they resent you; 3) they resent the “smile” or “thank you” unstated expectation; 4) they resent all of the above; 5) alternatively, it’s a generational thing.”

“Almost Instant pasta with your choice of sauces. Fast and good! I had Angel hair pasta with Tomato-meat sauce and mushrooms. You also get toast with the meal. My wife had chicken piccata and parmesano Garlic knot rolls. All was delicious.”

“The place is very nice and the tacos are great! It’s at the heart of the beautiful city of Santa Barbara Ca. I took a picture with one of the owners of Casa Comal. He knows hospitality!”

“Great coffee, can have a busy line but moves quickly. The grab and go items are great too, and the bottled juices even tho they are pretty expensive are solid.

I just wish the espresso came with the bubbly water back. I sort of expect that at a coffee shop of this caliber”

“My new favorite coffee shop!! Made from scratch flavors for lattes, made from scratch almond milk, amazing menu, staff and variety of exquisite drinks!. 💛”

“Love this place so much. Staff is chill and awesome. The crowd is so friendly and fun. Wonderful place for a quick coffee or a relaxing hour in the sun. Can’t recommend highly enough”

“Food is great, atmosphere is awesome, and service is friendly!
I ordered the Country Breakfast Burrito, it was delicious! I also had the Mocha Latte and an Blended Mocha, both were great!
Fun deli to grab a bite to eat and coffee! They have a large selection on artisan chocolate, cards, and other grocery items you don't find everywhere! Great experience!”

“10 out of 10 experience. We’ve been looking for a mariscos spot in SB and we finally found it. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Food was delicious/fresh. 🤌🏽”

“Just love the food and the employees always greet me with a smile. I am definitely a regular customer. Keep it up Chubbies!!!”

“Casual eatery serving upwell-portioned, comfort Mexican food in a comfortable setting. Protein selection is extensive, featuring multiple options for pork, chicken and beef.

Sopes come highly recommended. Carnitas is crispy and the al pastor has a sweet note.

Being only a couple of blocks off the 101 highway makes it a convenient stop while traveling through the area.”

“The staff is very friendly this is a review from My 7 year old who comes in to get an iced chocolate milk- it’s amazing they custom make it for him and are patient and have a good cold brew too”

“Wonderful French pastries in California with beautiful setting.”

“Olivia is friendly and her friends barista unfortunately I don’t know her name but both of these ladies are great, professional and friendly
And interior design of coffee shop more than perfect 🤩
Thank you 😊 for great coffee”

“I have never been a huge fan of torta's...everytime I get one I always wished I had just gotten a burrito...because who doesn't LOVE tortillas, right? ....but...

I just had the best torta of my life! The Cubana Torta from El Sitio is FUEGO. You know when you order a sandwich and you get drips of sauce falling out the back? This thing drips huge chunks of amazingly flavored meats all over....in fact half of the meat they give you doesn't even FIT in the sandwich... you get a whole other sandwich's worth of meat wrapped up in the foil!

Hands down. Best Torta of my life.

On top of that. they have an amazing all-female kitchen staff, who are sweet as anything and make amazing food. I can't forget Pepe, who is the son of the man who started this business. He is always in-store (I am sure he rotates stores) helping out with operations, taking orders, answering phones, etc. When I first moved here a year or so ago, he was such a bright and helpful face in this new area for me. Which as anyone who lives in SB knows, can sometimes feel a bit stuck up, and unwelcoming. I saw Pepe today and once again he helped me however he could (including selling me a roll of quarters I needed for laundry, lifesaver!) which is what brought me into google maps to send back my gratitude for this business and hope this review will help support them because 1. they deserve it. and 2. it really is the best mexican, or really some of the best food in town! and I do NOT say that lightly. Hope this helps ya'll Cheers. BTW everything I have tried here is great.....but please....consider ordering the Cubana Torta....wow. just....wow.”

“Warm and inviting staff, nice ambiance, delicious Mexican food. The owner is also very kind & welcoming!!! Great stopping point when on-the-go as they are fast and courteous, or dine-in of course as well.”

“My husband and I ate at the Live Oak Café while were staying at the Best Western on the same property. The restaurant interior is bright and chic and, as a bonus, overlooks the hotel pool. Plenty of parking. We had dinner the first night of our stay and loved it so much we went back for breakfast. Everything is fresh, high quality and delicious. If you are in Santa Barbara, be sure to stop by and give them a try. Be sure also to stop and say hello to the cute little finches who live right outside. I have to give a very special shout out to Javier and Luis! They were awesome – made us feel warm and welcome and part of the family. Luis kept the smiles and the coffee coming (VERY important part of my morning) and Javier could not have been more helpful and also has a really great smile! Stop by and say hi to the guys!”

“We love Chuck’s of Hawaii. Service is perfect, everyone is so pleasant. Last night, on my 88th birthday, our son Chuck and son fChris, not here, took us there for dinner. We all raved about the ribeye steaks, cooked perfectly with a superb flavor, delicious hot baked potato and a surprise cheesecake for my birthday. That was very nice. Thank you so much. Janice Haines”

“The recently remodeled and totally reimagined Harbor Restaurant is excellent. The clam chowder is delicious, the crispy Harbor rice melts in your mouth and the local halibut and filet mignon were amazing. The dining room and new bar are beautiful and the ocean views from every table are breathtaking. We’ve enjoyed private events and special dinners here. This place is definitely back better than ever!”

“If you are looking for an Amazing And Beautiful event venue for a wedding reception, a birthday party, a bachelorette, or any occasion venue. I Highly Highly recommend State and Fig in Santa Barbara! From planning to execution, Patrick and Serina made my niece’s wedding Perfect! I don’t use Perfect lightly, as I am known to be critical and a perfectionist especially when it comes to events. They made my niece's wedding planning experience so easy, from booking the venue to providing Customized menu options, and ALWAYS received quick responses any time we had questions as well as added personal touches of their own to the wedding. Serina and Patrick were extremely helpful, detailed, and knowledgeable and knew exactly what we wanted and how they could help. On the wedding day, The whole staff was very friendly, attentive, communicative, accommodating, Extremely helpful, and responsive, from assisting with centerpiece decorations, to serving hors d’oeuvres Always with a smile, making sure Each and Every guest was taken care of throughout the night, I was very impressed! Now for the food, EXCEPTIONAL, the taste was phenomenal, the meat was tender, the salmon was cooked perfectly, Nothing was over/undercooked, so delicious and the guests would not stop talking about how good the hors d’oeuvre and main courses were! Thank you, Serina, Patrick, and your staff from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make my niece’s wedding day beyond wonderful, and Perfect! We certainly will be back even for a weekend getaway! 😊”

“First time going to this restaurant with my daughter to celebrate her graduation. Food and hospitality was amazing and I would recommend this to anyone who likes Korean bbq and all you can eat! :)”

“Excelente lugar buen ambiente y excelente trato del personal”

“Absolutely excellent quality and freshness . If your looking for high quality food this is the spot .”

“Great location, good food, but do NOT order limoncello. It is their own production they say. But tastes like bad wodka. For the rest we will be back. Piet & Annette”

“Best place for Steak! I really love their dishes here at Holdren's Steaks & Seafood. Staff was amazing! Highly recommended!”

“Great afternoon spent sat outside, drinking superb local beers and nibbling on fantastic local seafood. The service was impeccable from Eva our waitress. Cant recommend this place enough.”

“Had the Lobster Mac & Cheese this time around! So good! The Mango Margie was amazing as well! ❤️🦞🍹🥰👍🏻”

“We stopped in over the Fourth of July for the first time and were very pleased by the relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the beet salad and chicken scallopini and both were excellent. I initially thought $20 was rather high for a salad, but it was one of the best salads I'd ever had. The chicken scallopini with side of mashed potatoes was wonderful. I thought the chicken scallopini was very similar to chicken piccata, but it went perfectly with the seasoned mashed potatoes. The broccoli rabe was okay but wasn't my favorite. We also ordered the fried calamari which was delicious. My daughter's gem salad looked delicious, but they forgot to add the requested shrimp. My son's maccheroni bolognese was tasty, but the pasta was very al dente and should have been cooked a little longer. Everything was very nice except for the country music. Soft jazz would have been more appropriate, but I'm sure we'll be back because of the excellent food.”

“From the moment you pull your car up to the valet parking, to then being greeted inside the hotel, then being hosted down to where the restaurant is, and back out to the valet, the service here is phenomenal. Honestly, three people helping my elderly mother to get into the car? And they figured out how to fold her new, tricky walker and get it into the trunk? I just cannot rave enough about the service here.

The food was delicious but you can get really good food everywhere, but not with the quality of service that comes with it here! The Manager even came over to us for a good long time and spoke with us, something he did not have to do.

The restaurant is lovely, but they did have a party in the room next to us that definitely disrupted our meal a bit. I know it is better for them to have a room full of people than to have it empty.”

“Great food at great prices.”

“Like the food. Good for reasonable priced Mediterranean.”

“Great service, great food. And it’s in Santa Barbara!”

“It’s hard to describe perfect. Everything from the extraordinary staff, to the comfortable atmosphere, to the perfectly prepared food was spot on. We are greatly appreciative for the work that goes into an operation like this.”

“Yummy!! A must place to visit in Ventura!!”

“Great food, drinks, and desserts.”

“Amazing! They fixed a lunch dish that was vegetarian on the menu, but was glad to add chicken for me. Zucchini, onions, mushrooms over pasta with olive oil base. One of the best dishes I have ever eaten. Thank You so much, and will definitely recommend to friends traveling to Santa Barbara! Will be back with my family when we return for sure!”

“A wonderful place to meet friends for a delightful bite to eat”

“Came here with my boyfriend on a whim, searching for a cup of coffee in the late afternoon. Decided to grab a meal and we were incredibly impressed. The BBQ Pulled Pork was the perfect balance of sauce and meat, not too much, not too little. The fries were also perfectly well done, a sharp crisp which we enjoyed. My boyfriend ordered the Pastrami, and not a single bite was left. The bread had a touch of rosemary which gave it an unexpected freshness. By the way, per my BF, this is the BEST RANCH he’s had in a few years. 10/10 meal and place. Definitely coming back.”

“🤩🤩🤩 Hands down the best ice cream ever!! I’m not that crazy about ice cream in general, but this place is incredible!! Vibrant flavor and super smooth consistency!! And let’s talk about the cinnamon waffle cone 🫠 we will be going back before we leave Santa Barbara!! It’s been settled… it’s 6am and it’s our first decision of the day… Cuso creamery for the win!”

“Excelente servicio rico delicioso los platillos q eh probado thank you lunas café”

“You guys.. im not exaggerating when I say I have traveled the world seeking the best sandwich, and today, I have finally found it. The Spicoli was perfectly layered. Hits you with so much flavor and texture in every bite. Not too much bread. Like sooo many sandwich shops ruin everything by relying on the bread for size. Mission city packed it full of meat instead..The full-size is a great amount of food and you will leave satisfied. A MUST in Santa Barbara.”

“Had an absolutely fantastic dinner at Siam Street Food while in Santa Barbara.

I’ve traveled to Thailand and have eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants throughout LA and Orange County, so I have a pretty good frame of reference. The food here was excellent across the board. We ordered the Pad See Ew, Spicy Basil, Tom Yum Soup, Mango Sticky Rice, and Thai Tea. Every dish was packed with flavor and tasted fresh and authentic. The Thai tea was especially good because it wasn’t overly sweet, which is how I prefer it.

What stood out just as much as the food was the hospitality. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our server, April, was so sweet and took great care of us throughout the meal.

They were kind enough to comp the Thai tea after hearing my compliments, but honestly, I had already planned on leaving a review before they even brought it up. Great food and great service deserve recognition.

Also, sorry that the only picture I have is of the mango sticky rice. I was too busy enjoying the rest of the meal to stop and take photos, which probably tells you everything you need to know.

Looking forward to coming back the next time I’m in Santa Barbara.”

“I love a soft serve ice cream with a hard candy shell, and this old school joint served up some of the best. I absolutely adored the butterscotch, the coating was like a the best salty sweet flavor, and the soft serve was super creamy. Mom loved her cherry … sad it was hands down better than Dairy Queen. Highly recommend!”

“I can't believe how long it has taken me to stop in here. The food, service and ambience is absolutely perfect! I had the best mocktail and a delicious light meal. It is refreshing to get served a beet salad with LOTS of beets for a change. The charred asparagus was awesome too. My friend always comes here for the burger, which he loves. It's huge!”

“Sooooo delicious!!! They’ve only been open for a month or so, so they’re still getting into their flow but the food was delicious. Highly recommend the pastor”

“Amazing place, had such a fun time figuring out the puzzles. The host was very amicable and very passionate about his craft. Taco the dog was a sweetheart too! The ambience was perfect & romantic. Absolutely lovely time.”

“An amazing find during a trip to SB. My partner loves good, super-dry ciders, and through her I”ve come to appreciate them as well (and it’s a lot easier to take her to a brewery with me than for us to find a cidery for her…).

Dropped in near the end of New Year’s Day and did tasting flights - mostly overlapping, but it’s a relatively compact selection to choose from (even if you dapple into the mead options). The four ciders we tried were exceptional - complex, dry, and with robust and distinctive flavors. I can’t remember the names, but the one co-fermented with a red wine was surprising and so, so good in particular.

The guy working the bar that night was also really helpful, friendly, and brought incredible energy on a quiet, grey, cold NYD. The whole place was a great experience!”

“It's a great spot to learn it's history of the area and the harbor and other maritime information!”

“Awesome kids burger. Juicy, flavorful, and great value. My son loved it.

Fries were possibly best we've tried in town! Service went above and beyond.

Highly recommend and glad we found a new spot for BBQ.”

“I am a DoorDash Photographer, so you can imagine I sample a lot of food from various restaurants. The Seoulmate Kitchen located in the Santa Barbara Public Market (Victoria and Chapala) has some of the best food I've tasted during my shoots. The kitchen is very clean, the workers are pleasant, quick, and knowledgeable about their dishes. The owners Juan and Francesca were very helpful and they really know how to present and prepare really great dishes. I hadn't tasted Korean food before, but I am a fan now. The sandwiches were incredible and giant, the (celebration) Matcha drinks were amazing. Nice free parking in the garage just below the Market. Enter off Chapala St. There is an elevator for easy access to the street level where the restaurant is. The food court is air conditioned and large. The whole family will be comfortable in the tables with big TV's all around. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal you won't forget!”

“The salad we started with was a unique crispy mix of pickled to creamy. The pastas at the table are not really well-defined as pastas as they are sumptuous creations that are enough for two in one bowl. The all-Italian wines provided choice in price and style. Good time.”

“This is THE Indian restaurant Santa Barbara has been waiting for. It is hands down the best Indian cuisine in the area. Complex flavors that are not only delicious when first being had, but are equally delicious as leftovers the next day. Huge fan.”
