    We went to Finney's Craft House in Santa Barbara and had such a fun dinner! The vibe was energetic…read moreand lively, and our waitress was great and super attentive. We clearly came hungry We ordered the poke nachos, avocado egg rolls, spicy tuna crispy rice, yuzu buffalo boneless wings, crispy coconut shrimp, fries, and the prosciutto and arugula flatbread. Everything was fresh and really good, elevated bar food with lots to choose from. The spicy tuna crispy rice was probably my favorite! My sister LOVED the avocado egg rolls, which have mango in them and were definitely a fun twist. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the prosciutto and arugula flatbread. The prosciutto was sliced pretty thick and cooked almost like bacon, which just wasn't what I was expecting. And the margaritas!! We tried the skinny, guava, and spicy mango and ALL three were excellent. I also loved being able to split and pay the bill ourselves on the little kiosk at the table. No waiting around for the check, which is such a nice touch! Fun atmosphere, great service, good food and EXCELLENT margaritas. I would definitely come back! Only took pictures of the drinks because we were too hungry lol.

    Prosciutto and arugula pizza (1/5) wasn't a quite what I was expecting. It is more like a bacon and…read morearugula pizza--the prosciutto was cooked. It is topped with shredded cheese, but the cheese is...firm? Sweet potato fries are perfectly crispy and salted!

    Came to Santa Barbara for the first time and this was the first stop my friend and I made. Holyyyyy…read moreeverything was so good! Great way to kick off the trip. We ordered the nachos with pulled pork, Mac and cheese with brisket, and two burgers. We underestimated how much food was coming out . Not only was it huge portions, everything also tasted so good. The people taking our orders were also super sweet.

    Funk in Public…read more Family-owned and operated local chain of restaurants and butcher shops that's been serving the Santa Barbara community for over fifty years (ca. 1973). This location is in Santa Barbara's "Funk Zone" district, which was formerly an industrial area that's turned into a wine and art district full of interesting places to gander. The Good: * Huge dog-friendly covered outdoor seating * Full lineup of their signature Shalhoob craft beers. They also have fermented grapes and liquor, if beer isn't your jam. * Service was friendly and welcoming. * Street Parking and City-owned lots, as well. The lots are your best bet, and they're free for a short while. * Prices are very reasonable for a BBQ place. * The Street Corn app might be the best thing we ate here as the corn was super fresh right off the cob, and the Chipotle aioli was superb. * BBQ Beans was more of a bean soup, but it was decent. * Mac & Cheese was also pretty good. Carrots enjoyed it more than I did, but I might've been grumpy from the shitty meats (more on that in a minute). The Meh: * Tritip was completely dry and tasted like it was cooked in the oven and then finished on the grill. But, I will say, at least it was edible unlike the ribs... The Ugly: * Maybe the worst ribs I've ever had. They were just completely hammered with salt and completely blew out my palate within two bites, which is a shame because they were tender and cooked well, but jfc, no amount of sauce or anything is going to save something this salty. Conclusion: Maybe we just caught them on a bad day because a place doesn't survive for over fifty years serving up meat like this. I'd be willing to give them another try someday, but I need my tongue to recover first.

    Despite our long wait, I'm still giving this place a 5-star... because they deserve it…read more Came here at the recommendation of a local friend and loved it! To me this place gives you that "Santa Barbara" experience - - beautiful building, relax and elegant vibe, and of course, great food! Though we had to wait a long time, the surrounding area is quite nice, with shops and other eateries so you can take a walk up and down the street. They also have a coffee shop right next door so you can get some snacks and drinks while you wait. The area is also great for people watching... as well as dog watching. We saw so many cute dogs while we were outside. They definitely contributed to the high rating! Friends who dined with me liked their lamp sandwich (was a special that night), the French dip, and the salads. I personally thought their smoked salmon appetizer was the best -- it's like a meal all by itself.

    Where to start? Food…read more-- Five Stars Service -- Five Stars Ambiance -- Five Stars People Watching -- Five Stars This was my first visit to The Honor Bar and it definitely will not be my last! When we walked in, the Hostess, Maya, greeted us with a smile, answered all of our questions and helped us find the perfect table for enjoying the perfect 80 degree with a cool breeze Montecito weather. Once seated, our waiter, Sean took over, explained the menu (food/cocktail) and struck the perfect balance between being attentive and allowing us the privacy to really enjoy both our email and the perfect day in the perfect setting! The General Manager, Ali, touched base briefly to make sure we were happy with our Hugo Spritz's and one of the Managers, Kevin, stopped by at the end of our meal to make sure we were completely happy. What makes the staff of The Honor Bar special is you can tell they really care... If attention to detail is important to you, you will love the fact the presentation of every dish was as good as the taste! I can strongly recommend both the Macho and Kale salads with roasted/rotisserie chicken! The Honor Bar is a must stop for lunch whenever you are in the area!

    First off with Service, Waiter was kind and warm. Yet when I ordered from lunch menu, Eureka burger…read moreand fries for $13, he directed me over to the side dish menu and said you can have fries or one of these sides. Not mentioning that it was an extra three dollars on top of the $13, if I chose any other side besides fries. Which I thought was a little manipulating on his part. I pulled the manager to the side and mentioned it to him, he cleaned it up and corrected it immediately very polite and forthcoming. Other than that, Service was outstanding, And I tipped accordingly. Now about the food, Burger was medium rare as I asked. A little Dry for the Cook. It would've been much better with the bone marrow butter, but they are asking an extra four dollars for that. Nice brioche, bun, secret sauce, fresh slightly grilled onions, thinly sliced fresh tomato. the only complaint I have is about the lettuce. It was old, and brownish edges in color. Fries were crispy and hot. I was also offered ranch with them when the server brought the meal out, and did not charge extra for that. I was also given a punchcard for the lunch menu with one stamp and at five stamps You get a free item from the lunch menu. Which is a great customer service touch. Restaurant was inside but open air, with a full bar and five big screen TVs playing sports. Will be back to try menu items, The bill was $14 and some change with tax, I tipped five dollars so a good burger and fries for under 20 bucks. Cheers.

    I want to give a huge and very admiral shoutout to one of the mgrs Danny Padilla. Thank you for…read morejust being your genuine self. Godspeed ! Food is always delicious. One of the best atmospheres in the whole town. I can't say I know everything that was put on this burger (even though I read the menu) it is one of the tastiest I've had and for me--arugula is ALWAYS a plus.
