Happy hour is 10 dollars per dish. The bacon wrapped dates is very good. So is the chicken taco.

We stopped in for a late dinner and were very impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere. Loved it all. The kale salad was wonderful.

Unfortunately our waiter brought us the wrong food item and was a little unenthusiastic but the host was fantastic. Overall everything else was great.

Not worth the price. We got the Brussels sprouts, bacon-wrapped dates and lamb sliders. We also got 2 mocktails. For the price, I would never recommend this spot to anyone. Everything tasted like it was missing something. Spend your money elsewhere. This was a disappointment.

I’ve been here many times, it’s one of my favorite tapas places in Santa Barbara. Very dark and cozy. Perfect for date night. My husband and I got one of the tables in the back with curtain dividers so it felt really intimate. Service was quick.

Food leans toward Spanish-American, and you can find a variety of popular favorites like sliders, bacon wrapped dates, etc. We decided to order the Calamari, Ahi Nachos, Burrata the flavor and Mariscos Paella.

Calamari had a nice flakiness, perfectly crisp coating. Very tasty. Ahi Nachos had a nice kick in spice and was pretty solid in flavor. The Burrata was my favorite with tomatoes and garlic; it was incredibly delicious with the buttered bread. The Paella wasn’t the most authentic Mariscos Paella, considering it had chicken; though it was still very robust and flavorful.

Cocktails were strong and fruity. I ordered the Oaxacan Pear-adise, which I highly recommend for something smoky and sweet. My husband ordered the Midnight In The Garden and it was equally satisfying.

Long version: In here a wedding, and being able to go to a place with incredible atmosphere and food and even better service last minute with a smile on a Friday night meant so much for our family! Accommodating over 20 people, and getting everything spot on and allowing us to overstay 20 minutes past closing says everything about the staff and team who took care all of us! This was an extremely memorable night for our whole family some which we have not seen for decades. Thank you so much!

So disappointed they refused to sit us down at 9:43 when the restaurant closes at 11 and a lot of tables were open. Sounds like the staff just wanted to closed down early and go home while dinning at milk and honey was the main part of our day as we all previously lived in town and used to go there regularly. Shame shame.

Love the ambiance of the restaurant, I like the fire and wood elements. Staff was attentive and very friendly. It felt upscale but relaxed. We got the bacon wrapped figs, lamb sliders, mole tacos, and the brie n jam bites. The only thing I didn't care for was the brie. Texture and flavors were not for me. Lamb was cooked perfectly with great flavors, tacos were tasty, and I could eat two plates of the bacon wrapped figs. Bit pricey for portions, but what you would expect for quality at a tapas place. Gave 5 for overall experience.

The food wasn’t my favorite only because it was a bit bland but the quality was great. The customer service was 10/10. I sat outside near the fire which was cozy and the inside seating was a bit more intimate. Great spot for a date or small dinner with family/friends.

We loved having a date night here in sunny Santa Barbara. The hostess was incredibly friendly and very professional, and seated us at the perfect little table. Our waitress was attentive and accommodating without ever being overbearing. We ordered five different tapas—plenty for two—and they were all excellent: fresh, flavorful, unique, and beautifully presented. A couple of local beers and wines rounded out the experience perfectly. It was surprisingly affordable, too.

The ambiance is intimate and warm. My only minor complaint was a screen that stayed on during our meal—it was a bit distracting and took away from the atmosphere for me, but that’s just personal preference.
