“Food and cocktails were excellent. Service wasn't so great unfortunately. Our server spent a lot of time talking to regulars. Never asked us if we wanted to order more drinks. Another server had to ask us about dessert and get us the check.“
“This is quite possibly, not only the best restaurant in Santa Barbara, but possibly anywhere. The food, the artwork, the drinks, service, the management, the host, the bus boys.... Everything about this place is perfection. The manager Sam, makes sure everything is on point! A well run establishment that I can't say enough good things about. Ask for Jay the server, he's top notch.“
“We happened to be in town for their 1 year anniversary. Im not sure if the menu was different for this event but everything we had was worth ordering again. Ordered the Oaxacan old fashioned which was very strong! Really good but strong! Hubby ordered the ah huevo which let me tell you was amazing! The flavors and aromatics were on point. So good that I traded with hubby and ordered two more rounds of this. I really hope this drink is on their regular menu! Oysters were on the menu so why not?! There were 2 kinds so we ordered 4 of each which were topped with a house mignonette and micro cilantro. These oysters were incredible! The simple dressing over fresh oysters were amazing. We ended up ordering more because they were that good. Service was great, such a friendly cozy vibe. Small dark bar with few seating but worth it if you can get a seat. Will definitely be back.“
“Zaytoon was really delicious Lebanese food. The place is tucked away near Mission Santa Barbara, up a small staircase, and in a small, White House. They have limited seating inside but it was enough to sit for an early Saturday dinner. There is also a patio area outside where you could eat but it was rainy. We ordered the: - Combo kebabs- comes with 1 lamb, 1 chicken and 1 beef kebab along with a small fatoosh salad and rice pilaf. We substituted for 2 chicken and 1 beef. All meats were super juicy, although my companion preferred more spices on the chicken. Salad was excellent. - Pistachio spread - must order. It was so creamy. Love the pomegranates on top. - Side of pita- which costs extra, 2 full, warm pitas cut in half. Total bill came up to $60 not including tip. Service was attentive and pleasant. Parking is available on the street for 90 minute parking except Sundays which is unlimited. I'd come back again if I were in the area.“
“The food is basic German sausages, German potato salad very simple food and usually very good, service has been great but the atmosphere is something of a throwback and really brings together the entire experience to make it a one of a kind and I try to go at least once a month if not twice.Don't forget to grab a couple beers from there extensive list!“
“Good service, fast as well, and the restaurant very nice and intimate. Tried the French Dip Au Jus, bread was good but the meat too undercooked. French fries were good and crispy. Ding's Crispy chicken sandwich was amazing , overall my favorite. The macho salad was good as well.“
“We had the BEST time here celebrating my niece's 21st birthday!! Food was great, ambience was great, drinks were great AND the staff is great! Kathy, Colleen and Megan were so fun and so sweet!!! Thank you for making our night perfect!“
“We came across Los Arroyos while walking downtown and it's always hard for us to pass up Mexican food so we stopped. We were greeted by several employees as we entered, handed a menu and we ordered. Great selection on the menu and also at the salsa bar. It's self seating and there are plenty of tables/booths, it was busy when we arrived but were served quickly and the food was great. Nothing better than homemade tortillas with your fajitas! The restaurant and restrooms were very clean and we definitely recommend a meal here if you're in the area. We parked nearby on the street but there are many parking structures in the area and Los Arroyo's is just a few feet off of State Street, very easy to find. Enjoy!“
“This is one of my favorite bars in SB. Such a cool place. It's a great place to hang out and grab some drinks. Bring cash though, no credit cards. They also have a pool table which is a nice feature. And plenty of couches. Lots of couches. The back patio is really nice as well. Never have tried the food. Parking can be a little slim on de la guerra, but try and find something on one of the neighborhood side streets if you can. The bartenders are very friendly. And if you don't drink they have plenty of non-alcoholic options.“
“Such a beautiful spot by the beach. The indoor seating is still very nice, but the outdoor view is beautiful, especially on a nice, warm day. The food is very good, I've been here for both Brunch and dinner. You can't go wrong with any of the items. Only reason I give them 4 stars, is I wish their plates had a bit more flavor. Service is always quick and helpful.“
“Came on a stormy weeknight, so it wasn't crowded. We were seated quickly. Service was direct and simple -- never overbearing. Thank goodness. The chicken shawarma plate was highly recommended and it was 10/10 -- mostly because the garlic sauce was the best I've ever had. The eggplant falafel plate was also delicious, though I prefer the chicken shawarma. I like that the falafel are a smaller size -- tastes better this way for some reason. We added a side of pickled radish and the pita bread and glad to have those added to the meals. It costs extra, but the meals felt incomplete without them. This is a nice informal date spot or a nice place for a family dinner. We will return!“
“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“
“Came here the other day. It was clean and well maintained. My burger was delicious but I asked for no tomato in mine and my niece wanted pickles in hers- not sure if it was charged. When the food arrived none of our request were even fulfilled. I pulled the tomato out and gave my niece some of my pickles. I don't get why we have to tip prior to getting our food when errors with your staff caused this. I saw on the register that our information was inputted but ignored in the kitchen? I even tipped when I ordered a beer. Should I have? This wasn't a huge deal. Just annoying. Please keep this in mind going forward. Thanks!“
“Pizza is my thing; I love trying new local pizza spots whenever we travel. And don't get me wrong, I rarely find a pizza I don't love - but it's rare to find one that truly blows me away. Lucky Penny was just that; an unassuming spot in the funk zone that I had no doubt would be good, but was floored that it might be one of the best pies I've ever had. We can't wait to return!Vegetarian options: In addition to many veggie-forward pizza options, the salads and roasted cauliflower are also delicious!Parking: Street Parking in the Funk Zone is difficult, but luckily the city parking structure near Hotel Californian is just around the corner.Kid-friendliness: Pizza. Who doesn't love pizza?!“
“This is one of my favorite places to grab a drink in Santa Barbara. Used to have the greatest jukebox. I really wish they would put another one in but totally understandable. It's got a fantastic vibe and a great selection of drinks. Bartenders are excellent.“
“I am giving this place 5 stars for the EXCELLENT SERVICE - the server was awesome and so helpful and accommodating. We had a great experience here. My husband loved his entree- pork shank recommended by the server. HUGE and delicious with homemade tortillas - YUM. Everything was fresh and delicious for him. Fantastic Margarita - my favorite item here along with the salsas from the salsa bar. So my only wish is that there were more vegetarian options. The rice has chicken broth :( so I couldn't do my favorite rice and beans combo. That being said, they did have a nice veggie beans option. I would go back again for the great service, yummy margaritas and salsas either way.“
