The Jane hosted us so very well for lunch that we return if , no when, we get back to Santa Barbara.
I noticed patrons between with ages from about 25 to our guest’s age of 93. The menu and service worked across several generations.
Our last night in Santa Barbara we found this gem. All of the entrees were magnificent. This place is amazing, highly recommend.
Held our wedding reception within the private space and was very happy with how it all turned out! The food, service and overall vibe of the space was great.
Solid service by the end of the meal, although it started a bit cold. Amazing food overall. Chicken Milanese is one of the best I’ve had in a while. One downside: was quite underwhelmed with the famous coconut cake - it was dry and OVERLY sweet (coming from someone with a very big sweet tooth.)

An Unforgettable 40th Birthday at Jane – Perfection from Start to Finish!
I recently hosted my 40th birthday celebration at Jane Restaurant and Event Rental Space with 35 of my closest friends and family, and I can honestly say it was one of the best events I've ever thrown, and I’ve planned quite a few over the years!
From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, stylish, and inviting, the perfect blend of upscale and comfortable. The space is beautifully designed, and the staff made everything feel effortless. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and I never once had to stress about anything during the event. They were professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. They even had a delicious mocktail for me since I am expecting.
Now let’s talk about the food — WOW. Every single dish was out-of-this-world delicious. Our guests are still raving about the flavors, presentation and how perfect everything was for serving so many people at the same time. From appetizers to desserts, everything was absolutely top-tier.
What truly sets Jane apart is the unbeatable value. The quality of the service, ambiance, and food far exceeded expectations for the price. It’s rare to find a venue that checks all the boxes, and then some, but Jane nailed it.
Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, a corporate event, or anything in between, do yourself a favor and book Chase. It was a 5-star experience in every possible way, and I can’t wait for the next excuse to come back!
Friendly, efficient, attentive staff with great food and wine. Awesome atmosphere. Not noisy even with every seat full. Eager to return there!
Great dinner. Service was professional. Will return.
Atmosphere and the food was amazing will definitely go again
I have always loved this place until now, and even recommended my parents go there yesterday for their anniversary. They loved the food, the experience, everything, until they received the check to pay. Everything that they ate was accurate, but they were being charged for 6 extra desserts!!! How is this even possible? I do not want to think that they do this to people regularly to see if they will notice the additional charges or not. When they approached the server to correct the check, she said it was her mistake, it was for another table, I find it odd that a table happened to order the EXACT same thing as them. Anyways, just take a good look at your checks when you pay to make sure you are not being charged for things you did not order or ate.
Just hosted our wedding dinner reception in their private room and it exceeded all our expectation. It felt private, romantic, and was spacious enough to have our guest mingle around. The food and drinks were delicious! Our assigned waitresses were amazing. They were very attentive, kind, and made the event flow very effortlessly.

Dinner for three and everything was exquisite. Best dinner I’ve had in a long time. Coconut Cake is a must! The sauces were a wow. Cannot rave enough.
it was a very beautiful setting. The restaurant made sure that the tables had candles and in and everything was too hard standing it was perfect and then with the flowers oh my goodness it was absolutely beautiful. The staff was wonderful. We had two young ladies who served us and they were on it quick sweet professional you name it couldn’t have asked for anyone better they cleaned it up and everything. It was the perfect evening if you’re going to have a small intimate reception for a party wedding anniversary this is the place to have it. The food was incredible thank you Janes
We had a lovely dinner at this lovely little place on State Street. We were passing through Santa Barbara on our trip down the coast and found it because of the great reviews, which we can confirm! We had the salmon and the filet mignon, both exceptional (the filet literally melted in my mouth). A cozy fireplace, great decor and lighting, and cute little upstairs seating areas gave it a very European flavor. The only thing that could have made our great dining experience even better is if the fresh bread we’d been brought (along with butter) had been warm 😉.
Made reservations weeks in advance, checking in a few days before to select a special table because it was a birthday. Upon arrival we were made to wait 15 minutes to be told our table was taken “by a theatre crowd”. “Come back in another 15”. We did and still no table. “Go for a walk and we will call you when it opens”. NEVER called. How unprofessional and amateur. Maybe the food is good, but we will never know.
Jane hosted our company christmas dinner, upstairs in the one of their more private rooms and it was perfect. Our waiter we had assigned soloy to our group was so friendly and nice, and the food was amazing. Thank you Jane for making our Christmas dinner one to remember.
