“Good Food - especially the Paella“

“I was looking for a quick take out lunch and this place came up as highly recommended. I’m so glad I went by! The family owned establishment was very clean and the people were very friendly. The gentleman behind the counter took time to find out my sushi preferences and suggested the Hungry roll. It was very fresh and delicious! I’ll definitely be back and hope to try a sandwich. Everything I saw being prepared looked excellent. The photo isn’t the best, but I wanted to share how vibrant the fish was in the roll. Fantastic!“

“Food is fantastic and so delicious!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Good food 👍 Great service!“

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

“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.“

“Stopped in on a whim after seeing the glowing reviews and we were not disappointed! The pizza slices are rather large and a whole pizza is fairly typically priced for Santa Barbara. There is ample comfortable seating to choose from once you place your order at the counter.

The crust on their regular pizzas is thin, chewy and delicious. The toppings were excellent as well with a variety of meat and or vegetarian options as well as one vegan option. We ordered the garlic knots,(delicious and very pillowy), Lemon Mushroom pizza (creamy and light with just the right amount of zing from the lemon) and the Sausage #1 (very well balanced). We split the cookie for dessert and it was rich and delicious. We will definitely be back again to try other pizzas! Would recommend popping in!“

“Best tacos ever! Great variety“

“Ensaladas y mariscos en realidad todo está riquísimo“

“This place is Awesome! Delicious ice cream and such friendly, helpful, amazing staff. We were able to sample flavors and there were too many good ones that we ended up getting the 4 scoop flight. They are also dog friendly and will give your pup a scoop too!“

“Lovely atmosphere. I'm a connoisseur of tortilla soup and have tried all kinds of varieties from all over and the soup at La Paloma was outstanding! More than that, Linda, our server could not have nicer! She helped make the experience a good one.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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)“

“I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve ordered from here, including the jalapeño poppers, chicken and waffles, and the pot pies! Seriously well done, and the prices are super affordable for Santa Barbara too.“

“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.“

“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.😘“

“Still thinking about this incredible California pasta from our Santa Barbara stop 🤍
Fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced — every bite tasted like sunshine, ocean breeze, and pure comfort all in one. The sauce was light but full of flavor, the ingredients tasted unbelievably fresh, and the portion was just right.

One of those meals you wish you could relive again and again. Definitely a must-try if you’re ever in town“

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

“One of my favorite local, unspoken treasures. Staff is always friendly . Music is ALWAYS on par with the people in the space. Great place to let “your hair down” and just enjoy all the fun, funky, cool things Santa Barbara has to offer“

“Must write a comment for this authentic Thai Restaurant! The Curry Noodle is so yummy! Boat noodle and Pad Thai are also delicious. The owner said that he is from Bangkok, and I guess that’s why the food is as good as the ones we tried in Bangkok years before. We parked the car in Parking Lot 12 and walked to the restaurant in 1 min. The first 75 mins parking is free, and $3 per hour after. The food was served quickly. We went to the Lot after lunch and it was free parking.“

“Wonderful food. Friendly staff. Beautiful atmosphere.“

“Hi I enjoyed it very much thank“

“Great food and service. Beautiful location.“

“Chicken Vietnamese are bomb! Noodles are good. Chicken satay was pretty good. All the food came out kinda cool. Maybe they need to hear their plates better or get it to the table quicker. Will definitely be back. We came at a time when they weren’t that busy.“

“Overall rating: 4.8
Visiting from NYC 

I stumbled on this place visiting Rori’s. Starving from lunch, I was excited to try it out. I ordered the Rib eye chicharron AND OMG so offing delicious. I know this was an expensive area so everyone is probably used to these prices. But this dish was 1000000% worth it. The service was amazing too. I was by myself and they came by only to check-in a few times.

I will say the inside is a completely different vibe. I loved the outside so much more. Will definitely be back if I’m ever in the area again. Absolutely obsessed.“

“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! ❤️“

“Open Mic on Tuesdays 7p-11p. The best, hands down, working Open Mic in Santa Barbara. The attending Audience here is phenomenal. The selection of Artists extensive.“

“RH Montecito is always excellent, every meal I've had there is perfectly prepared. The service is excellent as well, servers are professional, knowledgeable and attentive. I love the vibe both in- and outdoors, especially next to the fireplace. And a bonus - RH furniture on display is always fun to checkout.“

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

“Staff is great, service is wonderful, drinks are fantastic, and you must try the wings and brussel sprouts!

It’s a cute little cozy bar that seems to transport you back in time to the 30s with probation style drinks, and their very unassuming exterior makes it feel a bit like a speak easy.“

“Intermezzo by Wine Cask is a true gem! The restaurant boasts a stunning atmosphere with gorgeous decor and perfectly set lighting, creating a wonderful ambiance. The service we received was truly phenomenal – our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience even better. We tried the pizza, fries, and chicken, and each dish was outstanding. The quality of the food was evident, and everything tasted incredible. This was an amazing experience, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend!“

“Best pretzels in town!!!!“

“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! 💐💗“

“This is the spot for coffee, drinks (cold and hot), and delicious treats! Everything was top notch and you can tell they use all high quality ingredients and know how to make drinks.
Lots of seating inside and outside with parking, although currently (mid November 2025) there is some construction on the street right outside so it may cause a little traffic, but still enoflow to visit here. The almond croissant was one of the best I have had, seriously.
Very nice atmosphere, vibe, and relaxing, great spot for a break and to relax and have greqt drinks and some snacks.“

“Friendly staff. Great Happy Hour specials.“

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

“Nice bar ( take any seat ) order at the counter. Good vibes from the live DJ on the board walk. Delicious Sprizz!“

“Lots of flavors to try and they are tasty“

“Great small gourmet Market. They have vegetables, condiments, pasta, etc...but not cleaning products or paper goods. They have wines.
I love this market for their delicious lemon tea cake! Their cookies, brownies, and other treats are all fabulous.“

“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.“

“Best bands,great people and the best partner“

“The lovely young lady who took my order was so sweet and helpful!
Even though she was at the end of her shift, she showed a great attitude, willingness to provide top quality service, and I definitely can’t wait to go back.
Mister Softee has the best chocolate malts with whipped cream 🤩“
