1. Cold Spring Tavern
Started at the bar while they set up the table at the restaurant.
Sure, we could have waited around, but we would have missed out on the live country music, dancing, stiff drinks and the smell of amazing homemade chili (behind the bar).
I ordered the…More »
2. Arch Rock Fish
hands-down one of my new favorite places in Santa Barbara for weekends and happy hour.
our server Brian was amazingly helpful our first time in and everything we ordered (about half the appetizer menu actually) was incredibly good, from the oysters to…More »

I've been here four times now and every time it's amazing. especially great if you want to sit outside in the sun.
I've had both french toast options on the days I knew I'd burn off the calories (the apple one is insane and the banana one is only…More »
4. Pierre Lafond Wine Bistro
My second favorite place on weekends behind Arch Rock Fish (probably since i'm not a huge wine fan).
So I go with champagne.
The mussels with the chorizo are delicious and they don't skimp on the portions. Get plenty of bread because you won't want…More »
5. Silvergreens
I always find myself on the opposite side of the State-Street "corridor" (where my gym happens to be).
So you can only imagine how glad I was to be introduced to Silvergreens.
The steak/avo was amazing, as was the burger, and the receipts even tell…More »
6. Romanti-Ezer
Anyone who doesn't give this place 5 stars should be taken out back and flogged with wet burritos.
7. Enterprise Fish
this is a HAPPY HOUR review only.
After a long day of baseball at the beach, we ordered every thing from the happy hour menu (or just about). From the mahi mahi tacos to the ahi poke and about a dozen oyster shooters, everything was great. No…More »
8. Cajun Kitchen Cafe
Wow.
This place lives up to the hype.
Had part of my friend's french dip/roast beef thing, had some of my other friend's California Benedict, and enjoyed every last drop of my Jambalaya.
Damn is this place amazing.
They've got comfortable booths, a short…More »
9. Eos Lounge
EOS lounge could benefit from hiring a few more promoters and dragging the right kind of clientele off of State Street and ushering them across the lot (maybe hire those guys who work at the airport directing planes on the ground).
Regardless, the…More »
10. Tonic Nightclub
Just calling it what it is, Tonic is like fishing a koi pond with a shrimping net. If you don't catch something, your net must have some serious holes in it.
Great music. Lots of people. Lots of space outside (Perhaps a little cramped at times on the…More »
11. Blush Restaurant + Lounge
For appetizers, drinks and outdoor seating away from the insanity on the street, I happily came back to Blush on our latest trip to SB.
The service is fantastic (Tracy is amazing btw and deserves a medal) and you would be wise to order the Figs in a…More »
