The Santa Barbara Shellfish Company is a very small restaurant and you could even miss if you did not know it was there. Due to its size, there is not much seating available. If you'd want to you can sit on the counter and watch while the chef is preparing your meal or you could also sit at the wind…

If you are looking for an alternative to the frappuccinos, which you can get at any of the coffee shops, Blenders (a Santa Barbara based business) is the place for you. My all time favourite is The Raspberry, which is a juice-based blender made up of raspberry juice, raspberries, banana, non-fat fr…

If you love Mexican food, you MUST come here. This place is amazing. I've eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed.
The place itself is rather small so you might have to wait a bit for a table but trust me its worth it.
You get free chips and salsa which are delicious. Their guacam…

Palapa is a Mexican restaurant on upper State Street and you are likely to find mostly locals in this area.
I really enjoyed the shrimp caldo, which had an abundance of shrimp as well as vegetables and it came with chopped onions, cilantro, and lemon that I could add myself. We had the choice betw…

If you have a craving for Pho, Saigon In and Out is the place to go! They have a great variety of different Phos. The portions are big and you are definitely full after eating a whole bowl of this delicious food. If you are actually able to finish it, that is. Their spring rolls are also very yummy …

For a fun place for dinner in Santa Barbara, that will provide you with excellent food....check out Pascucci. It's Italian, and no matter what you order, I'm sure you will be pleased. The restaurant is sometimes QUITE full, which makes the atmosphere feel like you are at THE place to be eating dinn…

This is Japanese restaurant that serves sushi and also Teppan Grill (Hibachi). Definitely worth going if you're down by Isle Vista/SB Pier. After been to a few hibachi style restaurant this is actually better than the more famous Benihana. The sashimi was fresh and the guy who did the teppan show wa…

I went to Sharkeez while visiting family in Carpinteria this past July.
My brother and his wife had been here several times and recommended it.
We went on a midweek afternoon, so it was not crowded at all.
What I liked about Sharkeez was the atmosphere of the place. It is a fun place to jus…

Yesterday, I really fancied ice cream, so I decided to go to a place that I hadn't tried yet. They haven't been open for that long.
There are different flavoured frozen yogurts: mango, green tea, strawberry. Unfortunately, I can't remember all of them and the store doesn't seem to have a website…

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara. It's easy to find (right on State St.) and has a really nice atmosphere. My favorite time to go is for lunch and sit out in the courtyard by the lion's head fountain. Everything I've had there I've been really happy with especially the Greek P…

The interior of Bricks Cafe reminds me a bit of French restaurants, with a tablecloth and then a smaller paper cover on top of it. The art works that are on sale also remind me of restaurants in Europe, where it seems to be quite common to have exhibits in restaurants.
The food and the desert were…

I really enjoyed sitting on the outdoor patio next to the little fountain. It felt like being on holidays, the sun was shining and the weather was good to have lunch outdoors. There are heaters on the patio, so outdoor seating is also available at night. The staff let us choose any table we wanted a…

Today was the first time I went to Harry's. Looking at it from the outside, I was not sure what kind of restaurant to expect. Once we went inside it was like stepping back in time. It is amazing how many photographs they managed to put on the wall. The images range from local motives like the missio…

We wanted a nice dining experience in Santa Barbara, but even after hours of scouring the Chowhound message boards, it seemed that our choices were limited. Most of the suggestions were either incredibly expensive or had mixed reviews, and we were wary of spending too much money on a potential touri…
