    Asian chicken salad
    Coco G.

    We took a cliff top hike along the beaches of Goleta on Wednesday, followed by lunch at this spot. Plenty of parking and indoor/outdoor seating. Friendly attentive staff. Upscale sports bar vibe with multiple TV screens but at least the volume was turned off. Music also audible but not overwhelming. Lots of natural lighting due to large windows. We ordered the chicken sandwich, poke bowl and Asian chicken salad, as well as truffle fries to share. Generous portions. Everything tasted fresh. Overall a satisfying meal!

    Ahi salad - full on tendons - couldn't chew it
    Britt R.

    I honestly hate posting negative reviews. But I was bummed. Disappointing visit. The grilled cheese was burned (not just "toasted"), and the ahi in the salad was chewy with tendons. I politely raised the issue, but the manager brushed it off. No one checked on us during the meal -- a simple fix that could've made a big difference. Unfortunate, especially after a better experience last time.

    Peggy's Crispy Chicken Sandwhich

    Finney's is the place to go. Although, the Peggy's Chicken Sandwich was burnt and difficult to eat because of how dry it was. Unfortunately, did take out, and wasted a few bucks.

    Came here for a work group end of the year party. We had 7 people and our wait was about 15 minutes at 6pm on a rainy Thursday night. It's a great location in the shopping center and plenty of parking out front. The decor and ambiance is a nice open floor plan with that brewery touch. It was very clean and nice and warm inside on the cold fall night. We got the cheesesteak appetizer which was DELICIOUS and coconut shrimp. The group ordered tacos, wings and some different burgers. I got the Norwegian salmon sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. The salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious. I like the bread they use and the tomatoes have some tasty seasoning on them. There wasn't a lot of arugula but a perfect amount of sauce as to not overwhelm the salmon. It wasn't a super packed or fancy sandwich but very good. The sweet potato fries were on the thin side but good and a nice amount. The potato chips that come standard with the meal are DELICIOUS! We got some churros to go. They didn't seem very fresh, but good none the less, but probably not worth the order over the brownie Sunday which looked much better and fresh! Overall I really like this menu. It's diverse and there are multiple things I wanted to order.

    Great beer selection, lots of local options. Top place for happy hour in the area. Great prices during happy hour. The appetizers are really good. The regular menu is a bit expensive. Causal vibe. Extremely clean restrooms. Service is a bit a slow but the staff nice.

    Fantastic experience. Loved the ambiance. Food quality is surprisingly good for a gastropub

    Mid food, slightly cheaper than chilis and only marginally better. Food used to be great but it's gone down since. Ordered the nachos... they arrived cold and cheese congealed and not even fully melted. Waiter no where to be seen for 20 or so minutes. I ordered a dirty Diet Coke, previously it came with free refills but this time apparently not... $5 is insane for a dirty soda given the size. We also ordered the fajitas - they were basically on ozempic and the tinniest saddest fajitas I've ever seen

    Finney's Crafthouse at Goleta always has a HUGE WAITING, so feeling quite intrigued, we reserved a place for ourselves and waited over 45 minutes. [We usually don't do waiting for dining or drinks - feels kinda over the top :-b]. The place surely runs full-as in to the brim, with even the bar being over full. We got ourselves a tiny-mini table for two. Our server was really nice & attentive. The food and drinks were okay, maybe due to the rush. There are not too many vegetarian options, however, they have a huge selection of beverages. Can give the place a try the next time you are in Santa Barbara or in Goleta.

    It's always a good experience when we come here. The food is delicious. The ambiance is nice. The service is good.

    Goleta needed a Finney's! Such a great addition to the Camino Real Marketplace. We came before lunch and were seated immediately. I love Finney's because you can order a few apps, drinks, and just have a good time. Our server Nicole was so sweet and shared her recommendations with us. We shared the Cheesesteak egg rolls, Brussels, and Steak Taquitos. All were so tasty and came out quick. Drinks were great as well, so great we did a second round. Can't want to come back here again.

    Chicken strips... Well- done
    Art V.

    Not a local. Came out here for a relaxing time, but needed something delicious to fuel my life. Google was good to me today. I searched "cuppy pepperoni" and this location came back. The flatbread pizza was sooooo good .I also ordered chicken strips, just to try a piece, and I have no idea what they season them with....but I loved it! I appreciate the attention to detail. I said well-done to everything and that's what I got.

    What an amazing hidden gem in Goleta!…read more While visiting the town, we were looking for a lounge walking distance from our hotel. We found this cool spot via yelp. A for atmosphere. You are transformed into a tiki/tropical/ vintage/bohemian not sure what to call it atmosphere. Super mellow and chill. We sat at a corner couch across from the bar. Comfy and relaxing, and dim lighting. Drink menu was diverse. Great selection. From cocktails to all types of alcohol. With an average price range of $15. Bartender knew his craft. All drinks ordered were great! C for service. The service dept needs some help, and I get it, with one person serving 15+ people. It is impossible to provide a5 star service. Initially service was great with a smile when we first arrived @ 6 pm. But soon after the bar became super busy. The wait was 20-30 minutes for an order. It was time to leave. We asked for our check and it came non-itemized. If it was 2 or 4 drinks that would be fine, but we were party of 3 with over 10 drinks. Then we had to wait again after asking for an itemized check. Waiter stated they need to hand write as their "machine" was not working. That took more time than needed. Ahhhhhh.... Ah well.. you can't get it all. Hence the 3.5 stars. I recommend, to sit at the bar and maybe pay cash to avoid hurdles I experienced.

Little did we know that our first visit to Marisella would take us into such a lovely restaurant with a beautiful ocean view! We came for the STEAKS...yummy yum, and we certainly weren't disappointed. This was our fifth steak restaurant of the week, and so far, Marisella had the best steak dinner we'd experienced. My date is a true steak professional and strict carnivore--he knows his meat because, after all, that's pretty much all he eats! Ha! He said it was the best ribeye he'd had all week. The previous one he tried was TOUGH! Eeew! It was actually my first time trying a ribeye because I usually order filet mignon. My filet was, as expected, wonderfully tender, but the ribeye surprised me in the best way. It was incredibly flavorful and beautifully balanced, with just the right amount of rich, delicious fat--which we both absolutely love! The service was excellent as well. Every staff member was so polite, respectful, and attentive. I especially appreciated their gentle, pleasant communication, which made the entire experience feel even more special.

The whipped ricotta with honey and black pepper was probably my favorite thing I tasted all night. Creamy, slightly sweet, perfectly balanced -- I could have eaten the entire plate. The black truffle Wagyu carpaccio was incredible. The steak practically melted in my mouth, and the truffle flavor made it feel so decadent without being overwhelming. The spicy rigatoni alla vodka was also SO good fresh, rich, full of flavor, and exactly the kind of pasta you keep going back And I have to mention my virgin "Gossip Girl" drink because it was delightful! fresh, refreshing, and honestly such a fun drink. Everything from the food to the service to the beautiful setting felt elevated. This is definitely the kind of place I would come back to for a special dinner. Marisella really delivered. Thank you
