- MMonicaCalifornia Central Coast •1 review4.0Dined on Apr 4, 2025The food was excellent. It was apparent that they were a little short staffed that day. They also ran out of blue cheese dressing which made the wedge salad a bit disappointing. The fact that we were not notified of the lack of dressing after it was ordered and they just sprinkled whatever was left on the salad. Those were the only issues.More infoTimber's RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Goleta•4.7
