Went here to try some breakfast. Line was long but we were seated quickly. Place was absolutely packed.
The food was phenomenal. Prices were expected from a cafe in Santa Barbara. I wouldn't mind going back.
Amazing food, and what a view. Thanks Patrick for serving our delicious food and taking care of us. You will not be disappointed
