Brussels sprouts are insanely tasty. The hanger steak is phenomenal but could have had more steak and less broccoli . The beef cheeks with bone marrow is rich and decadent. The ice cream sandwich OMG

Meredith Blechman

Great outdoor seating or indoor bar scene. Food is phenomenal. Get the Brussels sprouts and hazelnut praline ice cream sandwich for dessert . Can't go wrong with everything in between. And make a res!

Ryan Gantz

Great outdoor seating . Arugula Salad , Cauliflower au Gratin , &Pork Shank were phenomenal. Thoughtful menu. The platters are easily enough for two. Great cocktails . Take your time and savor everything!

Riley Melba

The meal was served hot and excellent taste. The server was very friendly and helpful. I prefer eating at this restaurant next time and will surely recommend them to all of my co-workers!

Mina Haney

We popped in for lunch with a friend and loved this small friendly restaurant . The mouthwatering selection of cakes was beyond our capacity after such lunch , but will give us another reason to return!

Shikha Kaiwar

Great for cocktails , a nice dinner , or just dessert . Pisco cocktail is excellent, and don't miss the chocolate tres leches cake .

Priscilla @shescookin

Yes, everyone orders the Brussels Sprouts , but we tried four of the other small plates and they were all very good!

Delicious and creative cocktails . All the small plates we shared were delicious. The space itself is also really interesting.

Tasty sharing plates – try the steak and the buttered carrots ! If there's a long wait for a table you can jump onto the family table when a seat opens up

Andy Wang

Really good food. Corkage is $25 and the wine list is decent. 2 thumbs up

Cordelia Martinez

Get the Brussel Sprouts , Shishito Peppers , Tagliatelle Pasta (with truffle ) and the Ice Cream Sandwich !!!

Oscar Gomez

The best service in a restaurant . The lamb belly was the best dish of the night. A must visit restaurant

Great wine selection and plates to share. Anything with pork is a solid choice. The ice cream sandwich is awesome.

Alice Kamenetsky

Brussels sprouts , lamb rack , spring vegetables , and confit duck wings were phenomenal - I'm blown away

Tons of interesting people eating at the bar . Recommend the Ojai Syrah and the Octopus with Israeli Couscous

Great cocktails ! Dirty martini and old fashioned twist were good. Brocollini w ricotta was bomb

Cheryl Loveseth

Everything is good ... EVERYTHING. Free savoury popcorn , great cocktails , Brussels sprouts , yum. Enjoy!

Mihai Crasneanu

The place is super enjoyable but the food is plain nonsense and better avoided, except for those who still get excited to find fruits and acidic juices spread all over your plate.

David Bradshaw

This might be the best restaurant in Santa Barbara. Make a reservation or you'll go home hungry

The hottest restaurant in the Funk Zone. Nice big patio and reservations recommended.

The Farro entree, the pimento cheese and the lamb gnocchi are outstanding

It lives up to the hype. Every dish I had here was top notch.

Everything is super tasty, but try the brussel sprouts
