St. Bibiana
Pizza restaurant
👍👍 This pizza is killer. My partner and I have tried just about every pizza place in town. The crust is so delicious, mix of sourdough and commercial yeast. The pepperoni is the perfect cup-like crunchy variety. We have told all our friends & fam about this place, going back to try another pizza tonigh...

Rascal's
Vegan restaurant
👍👍 Simply amazing! Perfect birthday dinner. Pro (?) tip: get two dishes and share half and half with a friend. We got the cauliflower taco and sopes, and split. All vegan. We cleaned our plates! The horchata and Jamaica were delicious too; perfect for our sweet tooth. Very fun environment and the staff...

Lab Social
Cocktail bar
👍 Lab Social is a nice little bar. We tried it for drinks recently and it made for a nice evening out. The drinks were good if not a touch on the expensive side. The flatbread pizza was good. The pork butt tacos OK. The seating is cosy. And they had good music the night we visited. The seating...

The Daisy
Restaurant
👍👍 The Daisy is to be loved, for it is entirely wonderfully delicious! We’ve gone to The Daisy 6 times and each meal has been fresh, interesting, tasty and healthy. The portions are a bit too big but I think the owners will work that one out. The atmosphere is comfortable, clean, hip and inviting. The...

Sazón Latino & Catering
Family restaurant
👍👍 This is our new favorite place in Santa Barbara. EVERYTHING home made and delicious, friendly service. My wife and I got a shrimp dish cooked perfectly, and the mole was better than in Mexico. Definitely recommend. We will be back!

Buena Onda Empanadas at Mosaic Locale
Argentinian restaurant
😐 The coffee and food is amazing. The screaming rock and roll music in the morning is definitely driving people away. It’s quite intense. Maybe some Lofi or something inviting to start the day? Otherwise great staff and menu. Just a drum solo panic attack when you walk in.

Rodeo Room
Cocktail bar
👍👍 5 Stars high end cocktail bar. Thee classiest place in town. Best cocktails hands down. Ask for Tyger, the best bartender this side of the Mississippi. A pure chemist.

Little Heart Cafecito
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 First time trying this place. Will definitely be back. Might be my new favorite breakfast spot.
We ordered the chilaquiles and the Los Alamos Breakfast Burrito. Both were delicious but the burrito was my favorite. All the ingredients were super fresh and flavorful and the eggs were cooked perfectly...

Draughtsmen Aleworks at Mosaic Locale
Restaurant
👍👍 This place was truly HEAVEN. Literally the best waffle I’ve ever had in my life. The waffle was done to perfection and staff was so nice. We decided to eat on the back patio area/courtyard and the atmosphere in the morning was breathtaking. After having the first bite of this waffle i was speechless...

Pura Vida Coffee Society

Viennese Coffee - 4/5 | No complaints.
Matcha latte - 0/5 | This was an undrinkably sweet. In their menu they claim to use "AA matcha" but the drink seemed like their matcha powder was a dull, yellowish/brown and not a bright green like ceremonial grade (or high quality) matcha shou...

We Want The Funk
Restaurant
👍👍 This is the kind of place that we all need in our lives. I walked in with my family of four and felt like I was enveloped in a hug by my ultra cool aunt. The vibe is friendly, welcoming, and personal. Kid friendly, and also a great date night spot.
The food is exquisite yet straightforward and is...

Soul Bites

👍👍 Soul food here is a little dressed up. The fried chicken is juicy with a crispy skin and delicious batter. Collared greens are delicious with no bitterness. I added the turkey shreds and they were good. Mac n cheese is super good. The owner mentioned there are 5 cheeses in there. I’m lactose intoler...

Mezza Thyme

Unfortunately takeout with a non English staff was all that was available on a non working website and broken ordering system that couldn’t process car...

Gala Restaurant
Restaurant
👍👍 There's something to be said about a Spanish chef who can take the humble smash burger to new heights. And this place, with its menu that spans the globe, does just that. The oysters are briny and perfectly shucked, the chimichurri steak is a flavor bomb that makes you question everything you though...
