    The staff were amazing and very knowledgeable. The food was amazing with the chicken flautas being our favourite. We would definitely go back when next in Santa Barbara.

    Always dependable for savory food, Milk and Honey is a favorite. Devin provides an attentive overview of the restaurant. The drinks are excellent; though I only dine there every few months, they remember how I like the Makers Mark Manhattans. Always savory food and the desserts and coffee are excellent too. One of my favorite places in town. Prices are reasonable for the quality.

    Came here with my husband for new years eve and was loved every second. I wish we would have come a bit hungrier because everything on the menu sounded amazing. The staff was wonderful, we were seated quickly with on point service. Was the perfect way to start our evening in Santa Barbara.

    My husband and I went here on New Year's Eve. We had a table for two in the back. The booths are small and have curtains that divide each table. Very private vibe. The food was awesome. Each dish we tried was great. Highly recommend the brie dish and tuna tartare.

    This was a fun, hip and noisy dinner spot, crowded and with slightly weird seating - tables scrunched into areas that shouldn’t have tables. The food was tasty but not amazing for the most part. We really enjoyed the corn and the sliders, also the pork and rice. The patatas bravas and sprouts sprouts were just boring and mediocre. Several dishes had the same basic ingredients and just loads of cheese on many things. I think the menu needs to be reworked a bit. But we had a garnacha that went well with the food and the atmosphere was young and fun.

    Absolutely horrendous food. Why does everything have to have sugar?

    Do not recommend a place for families with children. Typical date night scene, crowded, and small tables. If you arrive earlier to your reservation time, you will not get the table reserved for you, which came as a surprise.
