"New ownership = brilliant It used to be that you put up with the terrible and over priced food (that took forever no less) for the wonderful local and sandbox. No longer!!! The food quality has…" - Thomas Paine

"Terrible terrible terrible name. We have been coming here for quite some time and we still have trouble remembering the name. The food is tasty though and they have a very nice mole sauce. The…" - Thomas Paine

"Pizza Mizza has become my new go-to pizza place. The pizzas are very tasty and the goat cheese option is great for the lactose intolerant among us. I normally hate it when a restaurant has a TV but…" - Thomas Paine

"A fantastic selection and a very helpful staff make this my favorite Nursery in the SB area." - Thomas Paine

"If ever there was a mixed bag this would be it. I wish I could give it 2.5 stars. The Good + The location is obviously fantastic with the great views and proximity to the beach. + You generally don't…" - Thomas Paine

"Same great sandwiches you find downtown but with the convenience of being close to my work. The #16 (Genoa Salami & Kalamata Olive Tapenade, w/Roasted Red Peppers & Goat Cheese) is my current…" - Thomas Paine

"If someone came up to me and said "Do you want a smoothie topped with granola and fruit for lunch?" my man belly would cry in protest. It would be picturing "fruit salad" fruit (green melon, with a…" - Thomas Paine

"Warning: Do not get the onion rings. They are far too delicious for human consumption. The Chipotle Burger is also to be avoided at all costs. It's not the best burger in town but it's in the top 5." - Thomas Paine

"If you are in the mood for a cheap and decent burger then this your place. The patties are thin but the toppings and buns are good. I particularly like the Island Burger." - Thomas Paine

"Same great food as downtown except it's in a strip mall :( but there is more seating and some of it is outside :) but it's in goleta :( but it's near my office :) Review from original location: If…" - Thomas Paine

"Apple certainly went out on a limb when they tried to implement a "no checkout counter" retail model. It had it's flaws, especially for the uninitiated, but now that they acquiesced and put in a…" - Thomas Paine

"The Coffee is pretty mediocre but if you want a place to camp out with your laptop all day it's ideal. Free WiFi and a plethora of power strips make this a coffee shop office dream. Of course this…" - Thomas Paine

"The sandwiches are good blah blah blah. Their breakfast bagels on the other hand, are AMAZING! Onion Bagel, Egg + Ham = danger zone. I have to limit myself to once per month because otherwise it will…" - Thomas Paine

"Authentic Mexican food it is not. Decent & Reliable Cali-Mex is certainly more accurate. The breakfast burritos have become something of a Sunday tradition as of late. We pick them up and take our son…" - Thomas Paine

"Expensive market combined with an over priced and mediocre deli. Skip." - Thomas Paine

"The best $250 I've ever spent on a date. We started out on the patio but it felt a little off so we asked to be moved inside and they were more than gracious about it. I doubt they even thought about…" - Thomas Paine

"My favorite authentic mexican food in SB at the moment. I may be biased because it's two blocks from my house but I'm sticking too it. Their taco's are particularly amazing especially on the days when…" - Thomas Paine

"The quality to price ratio at Jane is something of a marvel in SB. Like their sister restaurant the Montecito Inn Cafe I don't know how they pull it off. I've never had a bad meal and every time I…" - Thomas Paine

"It gets two stars because they have some good smoothies and a nice patio but otherwise it's terrible. 1) coffee is mediocre at best 2) espresso is mediocre 3) their cups are terrible. obviously you…" - Thomas Paine

"The wines are good but I found the ambiance a little off putting. Perhaps this is intentional but I had a strong urge to move on to the next stop." - Thomas Paine

"What I love about Corks more than anything else is their selection. They carry a wide variety of wines from many different wineries which means they can be picky about what they select. All the wines…" - Thomas Paine

"Not bad wines but far from the best available in the area." - Thomas Paine

"It's certainly the "hippest" tasting room in the Funk Zone with it's old school cash register and thickly bearded employees. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with guy behind the bar and I liked half the…" - Thomas Paine
