   A different menu, which is great. BUT . . . taking an order for the FOUR of us and then delivering just THREE entrees (requiring the fourth diner to wait for seven or eight minutes) is the pits. "Mistakes are mistakes" and "I'm new" are both useable excuses. Still, it's painful. Did the waiter not ask himself "Why am I just giving the kitchen an order for three meals when I know there are four diners?" Oh, well . . .

   It was great! Lots of parking because of the Leta hotel. The staff were so considerate and nice , the food was great. My friends and I ended up staying there an extra hour just talking / catching up and even after the bill was paid the waiters were still refilling our waters. Would definitely go again!

   Service and food were excellent for an early New Year’s Eve dinner with husband, son and his girlfriend. I only wish the lights were a little less bright. It really ruined the ambiance to have them turned up to 100%. We usually sit outside, but we sat inside on this visit because of the rain. The light throughout the inside was glowing bright, especially the one over our table. Everything else was excellent, including the drinks.

   Drinks at bar were good, and service was excellent. Ate at table on patio. Again, service was fine, but food was not good. Wife had shrimp appetizer. Shrimp were soggy, and way too much soy sauce in dressing for slaw. I had steak sandwich. Meat was low quality, with frozen french fries. Don’t plan on going back, except for drinks.

    Not sure if it was the open table's fault or Caya's. I wanted a reservation for Christmas evening but did not want a full fixed price meal. I couldn't find an indication on the web site that the fixed price meal was your only choice. When I made the reservation on open table it gave me a choice of the Christmas dinner or the regular menu. I chose the regular menu but when we got to the restaurant they told us the fixed price dinner was our only choice. We left and went to the Bacara as we only wanted a drink and appetizers in a place with some holiday decor.

    All of our food came out cold. We asked to have 2 of our plates returned so they could warm it up and it came back the same. They didn't warm it up for us. It was an expensive Christmas meal and we expected better.

    Friendly waitstaff (very important) and good “happy hour” pricing was appreciated. Seared ahi was too spicy, but other dishes (shrimp appetizer, pasta) very good.

    Bar service and cocktails good. Dinner server was good. Food terrible. Chorizo Flatbread obviously a prepared item, just heated in kitchen with salsa poured over top. Soggy and not hot. Chorizo charred chunks no flavor. Carnitas sliders same, flavorless pork charred and no other flavorings. would go back for a cocktail, definitely not for food. Too bad, could be nice neighborhood, local hang out spot. Previous owners food so much better, prepared in house, not poor shipped in fare reheated by kitchen staff. previous owners kitchen so much better.

    The Leta was great! They have a beautiful patio outside. The service was excellent! We had the Leta burger and Angus beef sliders. All tasty and plentiful. We took some home as the portions were ample. We also tried the fried hand pie. Not to be missed. It comes with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream from McConnells. We definitely will make The Leta a regular. Ayla was our server. She was extremely friendly and attentive.

    We’ve been to the restaurant several times and. the food is consistently good. On this occasion, the restaurant was not very busy, but our server couldn’t be bothered to check on us. She disappeared for about 30 minutes, so rather than order dessert, I went inside to try and pay the bill. I found her sitting at the bar perusing her phone and chatting with the bartender. I still recommend this place, just pray that you don’t get our server.

    This is a lovely restaurant with very nice outdoor dining options in the garden of a stylish and hip hotel. The food was delicious and the drinks outstanding. Service was a little spotty but didn’t detract from the experience.

    Great food in a retro but updated motel. Very dog friendly; plenty of dogs at outdoor dining venue. The Brussels sprouts, the boa buns, and the fish tacos were excellent. Guacamole also good. Service a bit slow, but Ayla was very professional and let us know the kitchen was running slow. Great value, too. I recommend.

    Ordered the Strawberry salad (mixed greens, carmalized walnuts, strawberries, either feta or goat cheese) added chicken for protein. Chicken arrived late and extra dry. The manager was extremely apologetic and offered various options. Enjoy the ahi tuna lettuce wraps which are deconstructed. Lots of menu options. Good wine list. The dessert was the best part.

    I so wanted to have this figured we need some new restaurants in Santa Barbara. The cauliflower ceviche was super sour tasted weird and they served it with chips not sure why. The fish tacos would’ve been good had the tortillas been a little bit fresher the salsa fresher everything felt store-bought. The guacamole was bland

    Cute little retro hotel with a very accomplished menu. We had a cauliflower ceviche which was so lemony and good. I had skirt steak w garlic chimchurie and my hubby had the pork chop. Both were perfectly cooked with delicious potatoes for me and sweet potato purée for him. Overall very very good including a cute charming setting and a friendly staff.

    This place was pretty nice the Decour was great The service was fantastic my only complaint was some of the food. We first of had the brussels sprouts that were amazing four entrées we had the pork chop which was good as well but the fish tacos that were very disappointing. The tacos were very small and no taste. My wife and I were disappointed but then the desert came which was a berry pie which was amazing they made up for the disappointing tacos.

    We went for Sunday brunch on their outdoor patio and had a great time. The food was amazing and mimosa refills were only $1. The guitarist was great (although a tad loud to have conversation over).

    Although the hostess who seated appeared to wish she was someplace else (who hasn’t when working a beautiful Saturday morning), the server more than made up for it. Unfortunately, I have lost the receipt with her name on it. Knowledgeable and friendly, she made great recommendations regarding both food and cocktails. She took the time work with the bartender to make adjustments to an existing cocktail so my husband could enjoy one too. The only thing that was truly disappointing was the very mediocre coffee. I’m grateful that the server knew it was the same coffee as the complimentary coffee served in the lobby, so we avoided it from experience. We highly recommend the Fritter Benedict and the Sage cocktail along side it. The bartender will happily adjust the agave for you, if you prefer a less sweet drink.

    Slow night at the Outpost. The live music was way too loud to have a conversation. The food and drinks were mediocre and overpriced. It wasn’t crowded but we received the check right after eating saying “looks like things are coming to an end here.” We just wanted to sit and talk after dinner, and it was clear that they wanted everyone to leave to close the bar.

    Short staffed, poor service. Burned chicken sandwich, good fries and salad. Not enough guacamole and no salsa for that pricey appetizer. Nice ambiance. We won’t be returning.
