my wife and I took my daughter from Portland. Loved the atmosphere and definitely weren't rushed. Three amazing meals - more than ample serving sizes. Daughter had the chicken and loved it. Wife wanted pasta and I have never seen her order spaghetti and wasn't disappointed. I had the short ribs and they were delicious. The service was excellant.
Visited with 4 kids, not sure of how that'd go, but was delighted with great service and amazing food! The steaks truly lived up to the hype (ordered fillets and ribeyes) and the ambiance is nothing less than charming. Again, our servers were outstanding and this will become a spot we visit again.
Never ever had a sub par meal. Food is great, service is terrific, Cathy & Sandy are the best. And Gio (busboy) is awesome. Our "go to" place in SB. Best lemon drop martini and ice cold on tap beer ! And, let's not forget the crispy tater tots !
Amazing good! Amazing service! Very busy! Love the soft music in the background...NOT blaring allowing for easy conversations. Thank you!! T
We walked(got lost) here from our hotel and we were starving when we got there.We got quesadillas and grilled chicken dinner with rice pilaf.Delicious and amazing service!One of our favorite places in Santa Barbara
The service here is incredible. The food is pretty good. I think the happy hour protein plate is huge and relatively a lot of food for how much it is. I would definitely order that again. The potatoes kind were awesome too. Overall a great experience. There is a ton of horse pictures from fiestas in here. The ambience is clean and looks like an upscale diner.
definitely a must go to restaurant whenever we are in SB. Great food that does not need a long review to draw attention. Go where the locals do for a great dinner.
We went for happy hour on a Friday night, was suggested to us by a very nice local. Server told us to sit down by a mirror, when we were about to sit, he told us to sit somewhere else. It was quite cold inside, so we opted to sit outside, so we could at least sit in the sun. Ordered multiple items off of the happy hour menu. Steak bites, fried chicken and mash, tater tots, Brussel sprouts and the potato skins. Happy hour prices are only $1 or $2 less than the regular menu price. So...do with that info what you will. The food came out really fast. Under 10 minutes, that's for sure. Everything was really good. I really liked the Brussels, and the potato skins. The steak bites were good. I will say; there is a dill something going on in the chicken. I'm not a huge fan of dill, so that's a me thing. Overall a good dinner. I just wouldn't necessarily call the happy hour menu a happy hour menu, just the apps on another piece of paper lol
We did not eat just stopped by for a drink , at the bar , it was early so place was empty , bartender took our drink order , I was bummed that they didn't have my request drink . Music was nice relaxing ! We are told that this place gets pretty packed during fiestas ! We want to come back one day during fiestas for the whole experience and eat !!
