Always a favorite! I love coming here for happy hour

Nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara, this restaurant offers a mixed bag of experiences for diners. While outdoor seating provides a pleasant ambiance and some meals shine—like the Brussels sprouts and vegan options—the overall food quality appears inconsistent. Service can be hit or miss, with patrons reporting delays and mismanaged reservations, yet some servers impress with attentive care. Cocktails and informal fare like calamari receive both praise and critique. For casual dining near State Street, it’s a decent choice, but prospective guests should temper their expectations based on previous mixed reviews.

????? It was okay. Definitely like their Fish n Chips. Can't really give a solid rating until I try a few other stuff on the menu.
