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

“Everyone is Very pleasant“

“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!!“

“Excelente servicio rico delicioso los platillos q eh probado thank you lunas café“

“we were lucky to score the large dining table right in front of the live fire open kitchen at little mountain in montecito one night. we sampled delicious dish after dish while admiring the design details of the restaurant’s interior and enjoying the buzzing energy of the dining room. it fills up so definitely make reservations. there is a main dining room, bar area and covered patio - each with its own distinct vibe. the menu is creative and different, some dishes worked better than others, but as someone who loves trying new flavors i appreciated the effort. most importantly, everything is fresh and sourced locally. the service is also impeccable. would absolutely return in a heartbeat!“

“This cafe was wonderful. I ordered a toasted marshmallow latte and it was perfect. My husband and I really enjoyed the food we ordered, and the service was exceptional. Every employee there was so friendly and continually walked around asking if anyone needed anything, or if they could clear plates off the tables. Happy Cat Eats also happens to be in a great location situated right across from the wharf. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back when we are in the area.“

Absolutely loved this brunch spot! The avocado toast was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. And the fried chicken burrito… wow. So crispy, juicy, and delicious — easily one of the best brunch items I’ve had in a long time. Everything tasted amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the service was super friendly. Definitely coming back again!“

“My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Rosewood Miramar Beach, and it stands among the greatest experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the level of service set the tone for an extraordinary stay. Valet to front desk: Tim, the manager, greeted us with impeccable care and genuine hospitality. The resort transports you to another time, with every detail around the property thoughtfully attended to.
Front desk and staff: Jacob was courteous and professional, and Bellman Joaquin added warmth and cheer that made us feel instantly welcome.
Ama theJapanese restaurant: The manager, Alessandro, treated us as if we owned the restaurant—remarkable attentiveness and hospitality that made our dining experience truly memorable.
Ambiance and activities: The hotel ambiance is wonderfully relaxing, and there are plenty of beach events suitable for couples or families, making it a perfect getaway.
If you’re seeking refined luxury, attentive service, and a tranquil beachside setting, Rosewood Miramar is hard to beat. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

With appreciation,
John Rodriguez“

“some good shows and supports local punk rock“

“Saint Remy is a cute little spot connected to the Marriott on State St, the restaurant area has such a fun and beachy atmosphere I loved it! I had some yummy poolside drinks and food, and the service was great! Definitely one of my new favorite spots.“

“Love Love anything that Norbert is involved with. All menu items are super delish.“

“Alex is the best! Food is great, and the service is amazing.“

“We were very pleased with the food and service at Garretts. We had breakfast and coffee was pretty good for diner coffee. They kept cups full. Very good breakfast and service. Very casual place. We'll established. Prices reasonable. Parking was easy. Will definitely visit again. Good food.“

“So good! Nothing else to say!“

“Amazing ambiance, one of the most beautiful properties I've ever seen. The speakeasy next door is also really cool. I'd love to stay at the property one day. Service everywhere was incredible, except.... our server made a number of minor mistakes (brought the wrong soup, brought the wrong water, and forgot 2 of our apps and had to re order) so that's why I brought service down to 3 stars, and the price is very expensive even for Montecito so you can't say there's value lol but it's totally worth the luxury experience and we probably just experienced one off mistakes.“

“Great place great beer and great food“

“Good food, good service, comfy and cool atmosphere“

“If you are looking for good vibes in Santa Barbara, this is the place to go! My wife and I are here every Wednesday for trivia and usually come at least one more time per week because we just love coming here. Great beer selection, good food, and it always just feels like a fun place.“

“We have been here on two separate occasions. Once for breakfast and then lunch just the other day. Both were fresh and very good. If you like food with a hometown diner feel, you will like Joe's a lot. Service was excellent on both occasions. Sitting outside is always nice on a Santa Barbara afternoon.“

“The pan-seared peppercorn-crusted filet mignon with potatoes au gratin and sautéed asparagus were as good as I've had anywhere. Thick, small and perfectly cooked medium-rare. And the thinly-sliced tomato salad was the perfect starter. We brought our own wine, but their in-house selection is outstanding. The staff were all extremely courteous and helpful. Our waiter, Dominic, was professional and attentive, and we never felt rushed. We enjoyed a two and a half hour anniversary dinner in a lovely outdoor setting and will definitely revisit when we're back in Santa Barbara! Thanks to everyone at Bouchon for a very special evening.“

“Absolutely delicious! Had the steak eggs Benedict. Liked it so much came back a second time and got the breakfast croissant.“

“triple d, food network, Guy visited it“

“Wonderful food. Friendly staff. Beautiful atmosphere.“

“Great lunch and very comfortable“

“If you want a posh, beach side cocktail experience, do not sleep on the Beach Bar. Yes, it is very expensive. If you go to the beach in Montecito expecting to find bargains, you are in the wrong place. The drinks were good but very pricy. We tried a variety of tacos and they were all good. The service was sharp and friendly. And of course the beach view is what you are paying for. If you are looking for an upscale cocktail experience to impress your friends, hustle your Bentley over to the Beach Bar and go nuts. We will return.“

“A great place for celebrating! You always have a great experience at The Palace“

“Excelente atención , buenas ubicación“

“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.“

“Friendly staff. Great Happy Hour specials.“

“What a treat! This restaurant was conveniently located near our hotel, and we’re so glad we stopped by. The pistachio-crusted salmon was absolutely amazing—cooked to perfection and now my favorite type of crusted fish!

My husband had the smashburger and really enjoyed it. Just a heads-up: the burger doesn’t come with a side, so be sure to order one.

Their happy hour drinks were fantastic—strong margaritas and great deals! Our waiter was awesome, and the service overall was excellent. Bonus points for being super dog-friendly—they even have a dog menu! Highly recommend this spot for a great meal and atmosphere!“

“I’ll be honest. I could have eaten anything in Santa Barbara. I hadn’t eaten anything since 9am and it was 5pm when I arrived in Santa Barbara. I walked one mile away because of the great things I heard about Jill’s Place. And you know what? I was not disappointed! I was stoked and impressed greatly 🥰😁 I had two wonderful, dazzling, and sweet waitresses (lucky me!). I was served a yummy chicken breast sandwich and it was the best one I had ever! No seriously! It wasn’t too salty and the bread was golden brown and ready to be munched on. The tator tots had the perfect texture. It’s almost as I had food from some amazing restaurant, which, hello, I did 😅 The place was packed, since it was Fiesta, but I imagine it always is. It sucks I live 45 minutes from this great establishment. The atmosphere was fun and a little country, but I love that. It’s casual, and not some elegant place like Lucky’s is. I’d still show up in a suit, if I could and would. Definitely check this place out and ask for the two blonde sisters who work there. They’ll dazzle you with their charm and diction 😉 Hope to be back again one day!“

“great food excellent staff and my most favorite memories are sharing a birthday with the owner who I miss so much ❤️“

I Highly Highly recommend State and Fig in Santa Barbara! From planning to execution, Patrick and Serina made my niece’s wedding Perfect!

On the wedding day, The whole staff was very friendly, attentive, communicative, accommodating, Extremely helpful, and responsive, from assisting with centerpiece decorations, to serving hors d’oeuvres Always with a smile, making sure Each and Every guest was taken care of throughout the night, I was very impressed! Now for the food, EXCEPTIONAL, the taste was phenomenal, the meat was tender, the salmon was cooked perfectly, Nothing was over/undercooked, so delicious and the guests would not stop talking about how good the hors d’oeuvre and main courses were! Thank you, Serina, Patrick, and your staff from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make my niece’s wedding day beyond wonderful, and Perfect!

“1st time at this venue. All I can say is, how could you possibly improve? From the moment we stepped on the property, your entire staff was welcoming, polite and on their game. Everyone treated the guests with the utmost personal service as if they were long time friends. Job well done Rincon. Not to mention the food was beyond delicious!! Would definitely recommend Events by Rincon.“

“We stopped at Sam’s To Go Sandwiches on Meig on a whim. We are certainly glad we did! This unassuming sandwich shop was clean, the owner was so pleasant, and the sandwiches were fresh and tasty! I recommend a stop at this small, non-chain shop. You won’t be disappointed.“
