50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Summerland

“We came here on a Sunday around 9:30am, found parking in front of the restaurant, and were seated right away. Excellent service - our servers were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant in itself is really cute and if you have time you should check out all their photos and information about Summerland - very interesting! Their portions are very generous, we took some leftovers home. I ordered a Croissant Omelette and it was okay, the bread was a little soggy. The fruit was fresh and the potatoes were tasty. My husband got the omelet with Brie and spinach and I think I liked that better, very tasty!“

“Loved this little spot! They make a matcha latte perfectly!! The barista suggested making it a white chocolate matcha and it was delicious! The empanadas were great, heated up perfectly and not microwaved like some places do when heating a pastry. The sitting area in the back of as adorable and comfortable and the gift shop had a great collection of local art, greeting cards and a whole lot of gift items.“

“The food was good, nice offerings albeit a little high priced. The service was excellent. Nice restaurant staff! We came after the lunch rush and I recommend this highly. Great destination riding bikes from Carpinteria on the new bike path!“

“Good Food - especially the Paella“

“Love this place. The environment is great food is always delicious!!!!!“

“Food is fantastic and so delicious!“

“Highly recommend if your palette loves to go on adventures. We did the Chefs pre-fixe menu. The courses felt like they would never stop. Overall, everything was wonderdul but of course there were a few that stood out and became faves. The staff & servers were absolutely amazing. The attentiveness was unmatched. The GM was nice enough to stop at our table and ask about our experience. Personal service is appreciated. If you have a chance prior to dinner go see Paris at the Manor Bar, she was a ray of sunshine.Seriously, one of the best dining experiences I have ever had and I have been to many countries & states.Parking: Validation for Valet available“

“Our waiter Cole really guided our choices by explaining ingredients. Since I cook I like to know everything! His explanation was so helpful. The black cod was the best thing I've eaten in a while. The Santa Maria tri tip was so flavorful. The citrus salad was tangy and flavorful with the fennel. I can't speak too highly of this meal and service. I would be a regular if I lived nearby.“

“Tondi Gelato was the perfect touch for our rehearsal picnic 4 months ago! James is so passionate about what he does and he only works with fruits that are in season. When we went in for our tasting, he had so many great flavors for us to try that it was hard to pick just a few! His gelato comes in a cute little wooden cart and his service is fast so your guests won’t be waiting in line for very long and will even be able to enjoy seconds. James is extremely friendly and professional and we’re so happy we hired him for our picnic.“

“You can taste the love and passion that goes into each cup of coffee here. The dog running around was a bonus, and the owner was extremely kind. Highly recommend for a date, friend hangout, or just a nice place to drink coffee and read a book.“

“An amazing local find that could easily be overlooked if you don’t know it’s there - but man is it worth the visit! The food is great; fresh, delicious, and authentic. Classic bean and cheese burrito and chips & guac were a perfect pairing for me; highly recommended. Our only advice - visit when the weather is nice, as there is no indoor seating.“

“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.“

“I love the Brass Bird Coffee and Kitchen. It checks all of the boxes: great flavorful food and beverages, wonderful fresh baked goods, tasty snacks and sandwiches, and a fabulous location with lots of free parking. The staff is very accommodating and friendly and they make wonderful drinks of all kinds served in a relaxed atmosphere. The outdoor patio is dog friendly, has great Wi-Fi reception (great place to work) and also has heaters and a nice fountain. It fits in perfectly with Carpinteria's relaxed small beach city charm. The menu is constantly changing with new seasonal food items, fresh new bakery selections, and seasonal beverages. There are several gluten free items to chose from and many organic choices as well. It is also a great place to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne, lunch or breakfast and when available brunch. I don't generally drink soft drinks but they make several house made sodas that are absolutely delicious without being too sweet. I particularly like the watermelon lime soda. When visiting Carpinteria make sure and visit this wonderful place. You will not be sorry.“

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

“5 stars all the way. Place was packed on a Sat night. The ambiance and lighting was perfect. We each had two cocktails and got the rice balls, grilled artichoke, halibut piccata, brisket w/polenta, and the olive oil chocolate cake w/sweet cream gelato on the side for dessert. Spent 220 after tip. The olive branch and dos hombres cocktails were outstanding. And so was every dish. Finished every last bite. Can't wait to come back for happy hour.“

“I had a delightful experience at Saint Bibiana cafe in Santa Barbara today with my husband.After a refreshing walk, we decided to stop for lunch and were pleasantly surprised.The cafe exudes a cozy atmosphere, and the pizza with mushrooms and lemon was exceptionally tasty.The staff were friendly and provided prompt service, adding to the overall positive vibe of the place. We left feeling satisfied and content, wishing nothing but prosperity for this charming establishment.I highly recommend paying a visit to Saint Bibiana cafe for a memorable dining experience. “

“Food and cocktails were excellent. Service wasn't so great unfortunately. Our server spent a lot of time talking to regulars. Never asked us if we wanted to order more drinks. Another server had to ask us about dessert and get us the check.“

“It’s hard to describe perfect. Everything from the extraordinary staff, to the comfortable atmosphere, to the perfectly prepared food was spot on. We are greatly appreciative for the work that goes into an operation like this.“

“I’m from Philadelphia so I often seek out local Italian ice (“water ice”) spots to try. This was by far THE BEST I have found!!! I mixed the melon and watermelon. The flavor was amazing and the texture was perfect (soft, smooth, no clumps of ice). We can’t wait to come back to SB to have it again!“

“The Mussels are my favorite. For dessert, I always enjoy the crème brûlée. Excellent service and wonderful atmosphere.“

“Great vegan Mexican food, with the best street corn“

“We came upon Jamie Slone Wines by chance. I was on Google looking for tasting rooms that were open early on a Sunday and there are only a select few but boy were we happy Jamie and Kym were just setting up when we walked by! They were so welcoming and so much fun we were crossing our fingers that the wine was as great as its owners! It was! We didn't have a single wine we did not like! This place is definitely a diamond in the rough! We had the best time, bought a few bottles and will definitely be back the next time we are in town!“

“Best tacos ever! Great variety“

“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.“

“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.“

“The line was crazy long and we weren't sure if we wanted to wait, but they are so well organized! They got a table for our party while we stood in the line, so we had a place to sit once we placed our order. The service was fairly quick and the food was good. Nice atmosphere and we admired the enduring love story of the owners & their precious photos.“

“Everything I’ve tried on the menu is outstanding. Fresh ingredients and creative combinations of flavors, herbs, spices. They make their tacos on site, and all portions are substantial. I love the al pastor tacos with chunks of pineapple on top. The Colima ceviche is sublime perfection, and the plátanos are the perfect sweet compliment. The mango margarita with tajin on the rim was delicious.“

“Found this cute cafe while being on a road trip and stopped by for a quick bite and some coffee for breakfast and it hit the spot! We got two ham & cheese croissants with an iced cinnamon horchata latte and a hot coffee and ooooo that horchata latte was delishhhh! Luv'd it - recommend if in the area or even passing by on the freeway.“

“Best coffee in Santa Barbara - and it's not close! Handlebar in my opinion is the quintessential coffee shop. It has a relaxed but bustling vibe - the place always seems busy... a testament to the product and service. Speaking of the service, it is world class. Everyone is friendly and smiling and they do a great job of taking care of you as the customer. One man who I think is the owner is in quite regularly and he seems especially helpful and kind to the customers. But he is great - he genuinely wants you enjoy his coffee and have a wonderful experience in the coffee shop. I appreciate that and it keeps me coming back at least once a week! Now onto the coffee, it is always great! Never too bitter and full of flavor. As for mochas/lattes/etc. I haven't had better in SB. Everything is of the highest quality and is fantastic! That quality is translated across the board to the food too - the almond croissant is AMAZING!! If you find yourself in the mood for coffee and a wonderful pastry while in the Santa Barbara area, this is the place for you. P.S. It's my fave spot to do the daily connections and wordle! ;)“

“Great food and ambiance, we had a great time. You can tell everything was made with great care and precision. Cheers to the Chef and the staff for a great dinner! Can’t wait to return!“

“Stopped by a few weeks ago to check it out and glad we did! Small place which makes it cozy and intimate. The outside seating is nice too. Service is awesome as well, they really make you feel welcome... We had red wine and porchetta, which is delish!!! highly recommended...and its local!!!“

“Wonderful food. Friendly staff. Beautiful atmosphere.“

“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 food but keep in mind that the avocado toast (specifically the gf one) is only one small slice and it’s extra $ to add on the good stuff. The yogurt/ gluten free granola parfait and oat milk lavender latte were both DELISH! We were told any bowls would take 20+ minutes to make which seems insane (coming from someone who used to work at a smoothie/breakfast/coffee shop we never had that kind of wait even when equally as busy). Luckily, it didn’t take 20 minutes for the parfait but just a heads up if you’re in need to a quick breakfast. You can tell it’s a beloved restaurant of the vacationers and locals and based on taste you can see why, but is still a bit pricey for what you get.Dietary restrictions: Gf bread and granola available“

“Wow!!! Amazing experience and loved everything!!! Definitely a must return I want to try all their specialty coffees!! Pets allowed inside which was a major plus since it was a chilly morning. Bathroom location kinda sucks since you have to leave the establishment but it seems they have a good connection with the business next door.“

“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.“

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

“The food here is absolutely incredible!! We had the gorgonzola salad and pasta and both were so delicious! The service was just a little on the slower side, just something to keep in mind if you're on a schedule. Our waiter was awesome and everyone was friendly!“

“Best pretzels in town!!!!“

“Best view and service in town. Food is outstanding“

“We had a very friendly and knowledgeable staff member greet us and take us through our wine flight journey. All the wines were as described and exceptional.“

“the staff was very kind and helpful I didn't tell my husband the food was vegan- until after- and he loved it. the people at the next table were very loud. we were outside. so we were not too happy about that. - but they were enjoying themselves. It was next door to our hotel. so very convenient. the drinks were great! my veggie burger was amazing.“

“Best bands,great people and the best partner“

“Love this place. The environment is great food is always delicious!!!!!“

“The kind of coffee shop I'd frequent regularly if I lived in the area. I appreciate how early they're open since I am an early riser and need coffee right away when I get up. The staff were friendly, the selection of pastries is excellent, the coffee tastes fantastic and the interior is cool. It's also large which makes me think even when it's busy, there should be seating for everyone. Though it wasn't crowded when I was in to order takeaway coffee.“

“Great restaurant with delicious food and consistently good service. The pizza is some of the best in Santa Barbara. The Filet Mignon is mouthwatering. The owner visited our table and had a dessert sent out for our anniversary along with the rose petals on our table. Nice touch!“

“Amazing food and great service.“

“First time for everything and it was definitely my first time paying $$$ for a cup of coffee. Worth the try tho, great presentation but would I spend this much again? Maybe if I'm in town. Good coffee, should definitely try one of their specialities if you're new.“

“Parking lot available down the street, 75 minutes free. My husband and I shared the Goodland classic waffle and brekki melt. Nice combo for one sweet and one savory dish. The waffle was crunchy and topped with fresh strawberries. The brekki melt came out warm and toasty. They offer various hot and cold drinks. Order at the counter service. The place has relaxing coffee shop vibes with both indoor and outdoor seating available.“

“I went to this place for a weekend vacation with my daughter, but it was a complete frustration . They take forever to give us the room it was more than 4 hours' wait. I think it was a misunderstanding since the beginning.When finally we got the room, I found out the duvet cover had a stain, and we didn't know if the change was the betting or they were rushing to fix the room . We tried to be understanding, but it was too much for 1 day. Because of all these issues, they offered us a late checkout , which was a 3pm, but the luck our room at 1 pm . I was completely upset. To finish our day, we had the cherry of the cake when the valet brought us a different car. For us, it was enough .These trip it was mother and daughter weekend vacations.( While our stay at this hotel, we try to enjoy as much we can and forget all these issues ). Don't take me wrong, the hotel is beautiful ( but we didn't expect this kind of adventure )The stuff was very nice and respectful to please us after all these mistakes .Rooms: The rooms are great and niceNearby activities: Downtown Montecito shops wonderfulSafety: We are safe doing this tripFood & drinks: Food is delicious but a bit expensive“
