Rudest most thug staff in Santa Barbara fro what I’ve experienced…Closes early and they seat you for four then tell you the kitchen is Closed … beyond bummed out about this experience and the most thug door man and bartender
We had drinks there yesterday afternoon. The white wine was great so was my cocktail. I have asked for the sweetest cocktail and it didnt disappoint. Friendly staff and great to sit outside and watch people walking by.
Highly recommend. We were looking for a place to eat and saw they had happy hour until 7. Menu looked good, so we got a table. I had the salmon sweet potato salad which was delicious. My partner had the steak on flat bread, also good. Our server, Chelsea, advised him on their beers with a smile. He tried a few different ones and was not disappointed. We had a great time.
We wanted to sit out side. 4 adults and a baby. Completely empty on Monday afternoon around 3pm. We were told no space for a stroller outside so we had to go inside. We said ok even though didn't understand. In a split second we were told oh sorry no space inside either. I am ok if you don't want kids in your restaurant but have a courage to say it to your customers directly instead of playing no space for stroller games. See the attached photo of tge space. There are so many other great places around and we were fine at the end. I wouldn't leave this comment if you were honest.
Place was clean and workers for professional and hardworking. I ordered the pineapple express, it was okay but i wouldnt pay 14$ for it again. The fried chicken sliders for flavorless. Now I didnt eat anything at all for the entire day its 830 pm at night and i am starving and these things had next to no flavor please add sauce. Next up is the pork belly poBoy. This thing was pretty good the jam is really what tied it together. The fries on the other hand were flavorless unless I dipped them ketchup. This lovely lady offered me some potatoes from the strak and potatoes now that was delicious. However I was hoping for a bigger bang for my buck. Dont get me wrong the workers were on it and looked like they were grinding away and enjoying it. But the food left me feeling flavorless except the pork belly. Please you guys need to put out ketchup or mayo or something. You were all so busy i could t even ask for anything until you came back once every 30 minutes. Just saying if your foods goinf to be flavorless put some condiments out or something.
LOVED this spot! My husband and I, and our pup Fern visited Santa Barbara for a week! We were just walking down State Street and one of the staff came outside before they opened and offered our black lab a homemade dog treat. He informed us that they LOVED dogs and would be opening soon. We circled back for lunch, loved their house beers, and patio. They gave our pup a water bowl and a bed to lay on outside! The staff was easy going and so friendly. We rarely find a place that we really like the food, beer, and our pup feels comfortable. We went back four times because we loved the atmosphere so much! HIGHLY recommend!!
Dropped by recently to catch the football playoff game and some food and drinks with my son who lives in town, and took seats at the bar. After a brief chat with the bartender, a beer was ordered that really tasted not great and seemed flat. Being used to the customer-centric brewery pubs of today, and particularly those in CA, we politely informed the bartender's coworker, who had taken over the exchange, of our aversion to the selection. Rather than responding to us in any way, he turned to his coworker and muttered audibly "oh we've got ourselves a couple of beer connoisseurs here" said in the familiar, I am the cool bartender, you are the dorky old guy, vernacular. Inopportunely, being the dorky old guy that I am, I did not hear their sarcastic exchange. It was recounted to me later by my son. The next move still makes me laugh and is something I cannot recall ever seeing, even at a college keg party, doubtless an unfamiliar arena to our all-too-clever servers. Undeterred by the burdensome task of finding a drinkable alternative, our hero sticks his finger in the beer and swirls it around to prove to us that it is not flat. Not to worry, he proclaimed, and not jokingly, he wouldn't be giving that one back to us. What a comfort. The next beer was as unexceptional as the first, and so, with glasses left full, and check settled, we exited, our sharp-witted bartenders having shown us who the cool guys were.
Delicious! Food was well seasoned and sauced. Kind waiter and host. Makes you feel welcome and comfortable. Something I liked is they didn’t let the homeless try to bug or ask you for things. They asked them to leave. Would definitely come here again!
The Cruisery is a hipster and fun restaurant. We came here for a Sunday morning brunch. As we were looking around there are many witty jokes that they have everywhere - I took some photos of different ones.The food and drinks were really good. Not too much to say about it except that we had a good time here.
The good: I liked the atmosphere and the warm heating lamps outside. Also, it was fun to play cards against humanity which was provided when we asked.The bad: We ordered the dessert with plantains and were told that it it could be shared amongst multiple people. When the food arrived it was a very small serving and the plantains tasted very unripe and not at all sweet. The dessert and the drinks were very overpriced.There was also a mix-up with a drink order but they ended up bringing the correct order which was appreciated.
