Costa Terraza Restaurant & Tapas Bar

I went in with low expectations based on previous reviews, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Prices compared to other airport restaurants were very reasonable. The whole family found something on the menu that they enjoyed- even picky kids and a celiac husband. The waiter was attentive and pleasant, offering good recommendations for drinks.

All the other reviews under 4 stars are by bitter folk who missed their flights. Nagmi ☠️

This place delivered on all expectations.

It's going down hill. Not worth it

Flight delayed for hours, so decided I'd better get something substantial. Only 1 choice in places to sit down & eat. Ordered the SB Burger for $16.99. Meat was overcooked, tough, could barely cut with a knife. Way too much bun, little piece of lettuce & very thin slice of underri7pe tomato. What a disappointment. Really, they should be able to make a really good, quality burger for that price. Waitress was good - that was only good thing about this experience.

The staffs here are awful. There are a lot of empty seats but don’t let us seat it

What can I say its the airport at Santa Barbara.

Here at least once a week and my server is always very dismissive and lack of attention with very little want to be there. It’s the only option here in SBA but I really wish there were more options.

Service was great and quick!! They were super busy but very attentive. Food is what you would expect from a bar. Nothing to write home about but it gets the job done and there aren't any other food options in the SB airport

Limited selection of breakfast items in the morning, but food was decent. Excellent service. The bloody mary's we ordered were great. Airport prices.

Horrible selection of food. Weird hours and rude bartender. Do not show up to the airport unfed. Eat before you get here.

Don’t bother. They don’t seem happy about having customers. Ignored me until I gave up.

So this is the only restaurant in the airport which is kind of sad but I just had to share my experience. The waiter I watched drying dishes by using a napkin and just grabbing handfuls of silverware and dropping back in the Trey of washed silverware over and over instead of just using a cloth to dry them, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and I did get my order pretty quick so that was great but then I over heard the staff talking about the complaints they had all morning such as onion rings tasted gross, lettuce tasted spoiled and looked rotten, the. I heard the cooks complaining they wanted to close early cause there’s no prep done and they have hardly any food left…. Which you should be prepping during your shift and ensuring your kitchen is always stocked being that you are the only restaurant around. I dunno to me this place needs a whole staff overhaul and management replacement. In my opinion.

Grabbed a bite waiting for a flight and the food was all frozen and reheated items. The waitress was prompt but not friendly. Will avoid on future visits through SB.

Not a very good place, don't get the tenders they taste like something from the frozen area of a grocery store, just get the burger.

The staff here is always helpful and quick to check on you. The food is fine for being in an airport. It’s a great place to have a drink and food before a flight. Much more comfortable than waiting at your gate. Heather was awesome and made my visit stress free!
