Santa Barbara, CA: Boat House - "Boat House needs more variety"

2009-01-01T12:21:27-08:00

Review of Boat House at 2981 Cliff Dr, Santa Barbara, CA 93109-1026

New restaurant replacing the Brown Pelican has a wonderful new floorplan, with an open window bar and great views. We loved the bar and drinks, however, the menu is not very innovative nor varied enough to make us want to return. We will return, of course, because of the location.

Santa Barbara, CA: Cafe Luck - "Too Noisy"

2008-11-23T07:52:14-08:00

Review of Cafe Luck at 18 E Cota St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

by margo:

We tried Cafe Luck for the first time since Mousse Odile. It’s not as bistro as Mousse Odile, a little more Los Angeles than Santa Barbara, but that seems to be a trend. The service was wonderful….Cute, bubbly waitresses who try hard to be helpful. Menu has good selection. ...

Santa Barbara, CA: James Joyce Bar - "Classic Irish Pub on State"

2008-10-09T23:19:41-07:00

Review of James Joyce Bar at 513 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101-1601

by Lew_Marklin:

There are a few Irish pubs on State, but James Joyce is a local favorite for our Irish blood. It is VERY IRISH. Irish folk bands play frequently, the crowd is fun, friendly, warm, blue collar family oriented, the bands are good, so reach y...

Santa Barbara, CA: Calypso Bar & Grill - "Calypso is Sand Bar now"

2008-10-09T23:13:52-07:00

Review of Calypso Bar & Grill at 514 State St, Santa Barbara, CA

by Lew_Marklin:

I give it a 1 star, not because it was bad, but because it is no more. It is the Sand Bar, just in case you were looking everywhere for it and could not figure out where it was. It is a pretty hip spot now. Pretty much the same place but remodeled and nicer. Food is pretty good, service is...

Santa Barbara, CA: Joe's Cafe - "JOE's IIIIIS SANTA BARBARA!"

2008-10-09T23:10:31-07:00

Review of Joe's Cafe at 536 State St, Santa Barbara, CA

by Lew_Marklin:

OK, Joe’s IS SANTA BARBARA. It is where almost everyone starts their night off. The food is ok, BUUUT, the food is not the only reason why we head to Joe’s. It’s a standing spot, a local staple t...

Santa Barbara, CA: Zelo Restaurant & Night Club - "A Mean Steak and Kung Fu Mashed Potatoes!"

2008-10-09T02:36:56-07:00

Review of Zelo Restaurant & Night Club at 630 State St, Santa Barbara, CA

by Lew_Marklin:

Another State street spot that I knew as a night club before I visited for dinner. The owner, Joey, is a regular local fixture and a fantastic host that you are sure to meet if you spend any time around Zelo’s, which is sadly closed for remodel and he won’t let us peak inside for ...

Santa Barbara, CA: Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant - "When I wanna roll Irish!"

2008-10-09T02:22:05-07:00

Review of Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant at 18 E Ortega St, Santa Barbara, CA

by Lew_Marklin:

It’s an Irish hang out. I made the mistake of taking a date here for dinner once. I don’t know what I was thinking. I mean, as a bar and hang out, it works for a good Irish boy, but it’s more of a laid back kick it spot with the sound of music, tv’s and pool balls cla...

Santa Barbara, CA: The Habit Burger Grill - "Where's the Chili?"

2008-10-09T02:13:57-07:00

Review of The Habit Burger Grill at 628 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101-3302

by Lew_Marklin:

Ok, I usually wouldn’t bother rating a hamburger joint, but it’s the local favorite, Hamburger Habit and it is GRUB ON THE RUN!! Burgers are off the chain, shakes are old school style. My only complaint ...

Santa Barbara, CA: Blue Agave - "Great start out spot for night life in SB"

2008-10-09T02:08:19-07:00

Review of Blue Agave at 20 E Cota St, Santa Barbara, CA

by Lew_Marklin:

In SB, if you plan to go out on state street to drink and dance, you have to make the circuit. Hit a local meet up spot for your first drink or two, while you start up your engines and get hyped up for the night. Blue Agave is one of the local spots to do that. I have eatten here once or tw...

Santa Barbara, CA: The Palace Grill - "Loud and Greasy....not so cajun"

2008-10-09T01:59:55-07:00

Review of The Palace Grill at 8 E Cota St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

by Lew_Marklin:

OK, people keep wanting to take me to the Palace Grill, and I do not quite get all the hype of this place. The service is nice, but the place is very loud and built like an echo chamber. On friday nights, I do like the magician guy who makes you write on a playing card that he magically make...
