Very solid food and service. Wedge of ice berg lettuce and Caesar salad for starters. Followed by local halibut, clams and linguine, followed by coconut cake. Good value, good service, good food. Pretty hard to find these days. read more

Pretty darn good. I loved my curry chicken. It was spot on. Husband has the seafood stew in a light Thai inspired coconut broth. We each had a glass or 3 of the house sauv blanc. No dessert today but I will say we were full. We sat upstairs on the balcony which was lively as was our waitress. The food was hot and quick! I would definitely come back here. read more

I like taking the train to Santa Barbara because it's a quiet, relaxing place. Jane is the perfect fit. The place is small but the service and food is very good. I just got the plain burger since I was planning on getting a pizza on the way back to the train. I also had iced tea. The burger was juicy and cooked to perfection. The fries were the bomb too. I liked that they bring you a small pitcher to refill your tea. This is a place I would definitely return to. read more

Highly recommend this cozy and quaint restaurant in Santa Barbara. The ambiance is relaxed,open and romantic. The service is great. What I mean by great specifically is every staff member is professional and yet has a charming personality. Now when it comes to the food... The portions are generous! I had the Caesar Salad, Fried Calamari and the Flat Iron Steak with a White Sangria as my drink of choice. All dishes were cooked to perfection. Last and not least is the desserts. I chose the Strawberry Swirl Sundae. This is the perfect end to the experience. Fresh and light... it wrapped up the whole dining experience with a bow. Great Job Jane and my server Renae!!! Might be back for New Years Eve!!! read more

What a nice find! A friend of ours recommended this restaurant so we decided to have dinner here. We sat inside at a window table and were promptly waited on with waters, a basket of really good crusty French bread and our drink orders being taken. We ordered the same things off the menu, starting off with Jane's Caesar salads which came with tomato wedges and a savory Parmesan garlic dressing which I thought was a nice variation on a classic Caesar. We then each had the grilled salmon on cedar plank with mango relish and citrus sauce, accompanied with scalloped potatoes and grilled seasonal vegetables. We both agreed the salmon might have been the best salmon we had ever had! It was moist and cooked just right with the mango and citrus flavors giving it a sweet flavor which meshed perfectly with the scalloped potatoes & grilled vegetables. The only very slightly "negative" was that the glass of Cab I ordered was just OK - not bad but nothing great so perhaps if I'd chosen a different wine... Regardless, my husband enjoyed his beer and the food and also the service were both stellar, so I'm giving this 5 stars. We will be back! read more

It was very disappointing to go to this restaurant and they had no vegan options available. They did have a dish that they put a portabello mushroom instead of meat in, but the portion of mushroom and vegetable was so small it was more the size of an appetizer meal instead of a main course. read more

Stew was good, halibut was grilled too dry and not flavorful, complimentary bread wasn't worth the calories or space it took in my stomach...but: coconut cake was devine and worth a separate trip just for dessert! read more

Jane restaurant hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner for 19 people this past weekend. They offered a reasonably priced prix fixe menu with three courses. The service was exceptional, and our waitress went above and beyond. I cant stress how many compliments she received. The food, including the filet mignon and cheesecake with raspberry sauce, was fantastic. The ambiance was cozy and elegant, impressing our out-of-town family. Overall, a 5/5-star experience and highly recommended to anyone looking to host a party. read more

Jane has been my favorite restaurant in SB for many years, and I hate to give it a bad rating, however, my experience this past week was sub-par. First the bad: * We were never even offered bread (typically, they bring you a few slices of delicious bread) * My duck was very undercooked * The duck was very difficult to cut, I believe, due to the fact that it was so rare and so fatty, as well as the fact that I only had a butter knife * I asked for extra sauce, but never got any * Our server was nice, but not great. She disappeared for long enough that I was never able to complain about the undercooked duck, or the lack of a better knife, or the lack of the extra sauce I asked for. The good: * The veggies and the potatoes that come with the duck, were both delicious. I've always loved this place, but now, I'm not in a hurry to go back. read more

I set up a surprise birthday party at the Jane Restaurant in Santa Barbara over the Memorial Day weekend. The event coordinator, Meagan, provided great guidance with prompt answers about all the food and set up options. We had 21 people in a reserved room. The curtains to the room were pulled back just as we got to the top of the stairs, what a surprise! What can I say, it was tons of fun! We chose one of the 3 course fixed meal options that had three main course choices and I received excellent comments on all the food. I was concerned about the service, since we were upstairs, but the staff did an excellent job, and I didn't notice any delays. Not being a big wine drinker, I had them recommend a good selection and they were all wonderful. Just a note on alcohol - no hard liquor at the Jane. As it was Memorial Day Weekend finding a place was a bit of a chore. This is a smaller restaurant with excellent service and food . They solved a lot of my problems with good advice during a time when I was having difficulty getting many restaurants to even return my calls. I don't do many reviews, but this restaurant deserves all the good words! Walking out I saw a very complimentary note to the owners from Julia Childs! If you are interested in a very nice dinner for a group of up to 20 people, this is the place to try! read more

First of all how does this restaurant only have 4 stars!? That is a crime. My wife and I stumbled on this little gem walking up State street last night. I love it when you walk into a restaurant and have your mind completely blown. Everything was amazing everything. From the French Onion soup which is a pretty perfect classic example of the soup to the chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. Our entrees were perfect New York steak medium rare and cedar plank salmon not over cooked like it normally is at most places. I usually avoid chicken and fish because it is usually destroyed. And the service.not intrusive and annoying. Our server was sweet attentive and very helpful. Jane is definitely a repeater. read more

This is my absolute favorite lunch spot in Santa Barbara! Since I have now been there multiple times and have eaten almost every hamburger on the menu - I can say that this is the place for the BEST burgers in SB! Homemade buns, perfectly grilled meat patty, addictive French fries - you can't go wrong. Everything is so fresh and made in their kitchen. This location is an oasis from the hustle and bustle of State Street. Service is excellent and consistent. Bottom line is you should head up to Jane for a lovely lunch any chance you can! Their wine selection is also fantastic and I recommend a nice bottle of wine with your lunch and then a nice, slow, enjoyable meal! read more

My son & I took an evening stroll last night down State. (Masks On!). He had a craving for their Chicken Alfredo so while walking he called in his order. It was ready promptly when we arrived to pick up. He raced us home to his place (driving to fast for Mom), eager to gobble down the tasty dish and their yummy bread. Our dog Shyne enjoyed the few bites he begged for as well : ) Here is a picture of them with full tummy's after eating. Thank you Jane! read more

Jane has a great quiet date night type of atmosphere. I went there for a work dinner and was seated upstairs. For a date night, get a table on the balcony / terrace, it looked really serene! For appetizers we got the onion rings (nice balsamic glaze on top!) and fried calamari. It was good! For dinner, I got the filet mignon, which came with an herb cream sauce and veggies and scalloped potatoes. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly! Medium rare was very tender! I loved the herb cream. The scalloped potatoes were a bit cold but not bad. My coworkers got the duck and lamb chops and it looked pretty good! Oh -- get the coconut cake. It's fluffy, creamy and to die for. Overall it was a nice experience - I think I enjoyed it more than Opal next door, but Opal does have to die for scalloped potatoes! I'd come back to Jane for a date night! read more

We were in Santa Barbara for the Izhak Perlman, Emanuel Axe, and friends concert at The Granada Theater last night. (The concert was beyond magnificent!) Jane was recommended to us by a friend for both its good food and close proximity to The Granada. We had a 5 P.M. reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant opens at 5 P.M. and we were a bit concerned that with everyone coming at 5, service would be slow. Not the case at all! We had a wonderful seat on the back side upper level overlooking the restaurant and Main Street. We did inform our waitress that we needed to leave at 6:40 p.m. at the latest to be on-time seated at The Grenada. She told us it was no problem and we gave her our order: two glasses of Sangria, the fried brie and apple fritter salad, chicken piccata, and the grilled maple leaf farm duck breast. Our lovely waitress coursed the dinner out so that we were neither rushed nor left us waiting too long for our food. Every bite was magnificent. We will definitely consider returning next time we are in Santa Barbara. P.S. We had coffee too but chose not to order dessert because we had bought some pastry at The Andersen down the street from Jane for after our ride back to LA. :-) read more

I love the ambience. We sat upstairs on the balcony, and had a great view of the hills, and could hear the guitarist playing downstairs in the theater as this music echoed throughout. I ordered some kind of seafood mix, which I loved, and my husband ordered a steak, which he thought was just mediocre. So that's why I'm giving four stars. But my dish was excellent, and so was the service! read more

Made a reservation at 8 o clock. We arrived at 730 and they let us in early because they had seats available. The waiter starts by bringing over two glasses of water and a pitcher of water so we could refill our own water glass whenever we finished. +1 points for this. However, the pitcher wasn't useful to us because whenever we were low on water, the waiter would come over and pour us water FROM that pitcher. Very very attentive waiter! I applaud you. Firestone Red Rings & Spicy Herb Cream (9) - OMGGGGGGGGGG. The first bite I took, I swear I went to heaven. My mouth couldn't thank me enough :O (that's me eating an onion ring or being absolutely amazed) But after a while, it started to weigh me down. The batter on the onion ring was heavy (although it wasn't exactly greasy). But the spicy herb cream sauce worked SOO WELLL with the onion rings. Without this sauce, it would just be a typical appetizer dish. But with the sauce, it probably goes down as one of the best appetizers I have ever eaten. I kept thinking about this dish at night before I fell asleep, despite not being hungry at all! Now everytime I eat an onion ring, I'll think of this sauce. That spicy herb cream sauce...I will find out the secret recipe. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jane-santa-barbara?select=nM4MBsC5FAEJi43QxXl-rA#i9yyROzfU3xs1Im0XWkPUw Veal Marsala Mushrooms & Fresh Herbs *Served with Vegetables & Fettuccine (18) - The veal was delicious. The vegetables were cooked down so much that it just melted in your mouth. My friend said the wine sauce was a bit too much and it could have been more reduced. But if you like the taste of marsala wine, then you should get this dish. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jane-santa-barbara?select=nM4MBsC5FAEJi43QxXl-rA#nM4MBsC5FAEJi43QxXl-rA Fettuccine & Homemade Lamb Sausage Spinach, Tomatoes, Roast Garlic & Cream (15) - The lamb was more tender than the veal. Both were delicious though. The cream was thick and it was not too heavy nor light. It was the perfect balance. One of the coolest things about the plate was the garlic. Instead of chopping up garlic, they leave the garlic in cloves. But the garlic was so cooked down, the texture was similar to mashed potatoes. I mistakenly thought they put a gnocchi on my plate, but I realized it being garlic. +1 points for creativity for including the garlic in this form. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jane-santa-barbara?select=nM4MBsC5FAEJi43QxXl-rA#BhzRPSiNjgumbixsdrIZ0g Overall, the food was great, the service was amazing, the atmosphere was good.

5 stars due to the service alone. The tall male host was a bit...snooty. However, Tony is phenomenal -- we called ahead and spoke with him on the phone and when we arrived he was exceptionally courteous, hospitable, and took fantastic care of us. We'd come back just for Tony. Reyah our server was also tremendous and very friendly and accommodating. She did a fabulous job as our server. The food was also quite good. As good as any of the great places in SB. The lamb chops and duck were delicious. Ps -- wait for the balcony seating, it's worth it. read more

In terms of major cities in California, San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles have always had a special place in my heart. But with this recent trip up to central California, it seems that Santa Barbara will be making this triad of favorites a quartet. It's been a while since I've been in Downtown Santa Barbara... so long that I hardly remember it. Nonetheless, I fell instantly head over heels for this little section of the coastal city. With its impressive landmarks and affable locals, what's not to love? And of course, a block of restaurants that would make any epicure squeal with delight. On this particular night, we decided to try Jane, a restaurant just a couple stores down from the prodigious Arlington Theatre, and we were far from disappointed. We were seated immediately at 6 or so on a Friday night, in a stunning ambiance. The menu is full of original dishes that play up what would otherwise be considered traditional. After a minute or so, our group decided on splitting the "Pots" of Eggplant Pate and Olive Tapenade and the Goat Cheese Pancakes with Smoked Salmon as appetizers. I ordered the Half Papaya & Dungeness Crab salad, two others the Veal Marsala and the last person ordered the Grilled Duck Breast. We already planned ahead on finishing the meal with a slice of Coconut Cake. Since we ended up sharing everything anyway, here's my take on it all: "Pots" of Eggplant Pate and Olive Tapenade Though both "pots" (which were really just cups) of pate and tapenade were very good, I liked the eggplant pate just a bit better because it had a softer texture and flavor. The olive tapenade was just a bit bitter, but still very tasty. Goat Cheese Pancakes with Smoked Salmon Though at first glance it doesn't look like much, I couldn't agree more with the serving. Goat cheese can be extremely rich, and too much of it can really kill a dish with a lot of potential. So in this case, having a smaller portion for this type of dish, just a little salty and creamy but flavorfully harmonious in every way, was ideal. Veal Marsala WOW. The veal could not have been cooked any better! Though thin, it was so juicy and the marsala sauce was to DIE for. Smoky and earthy, I could have eaten this dish ten times over. Not to mention, the side dishes - linguine and mixed vegetables - were also good, attesting that they pay attention to EVERYTHING, not just the main. Grilled Duck Breast Though just the tiniest bit gamey for my taste, the duck was also cooked to perfection. The wine sauce added sophistication as did the sauteed ginger. Yum! Half Papaya & Dungeness Crab salad Unfortunately, there was one thing that held this whole entire experience back - this salad. Otherwise, Jane would have absolutely been five stars in my book. There was hardly any dungeness crab to be seen, and the portion was, admittedly, pretty small for a meal salad. Don't get me wrong - the salad was fresh and the curry dressing that came with it was delicious, but if the table had not shared everything, I probably would have left Jane still hungry. Last but not least.... Coconut Cake WOW. Light, fluffy, moist, sweet... everything you would want to find in a great cake. The anglaise that came with it was thin and creamy and -- this description does not do justice for this wonderful dessert. Jane is a great place to dine. The service is quick, the food is outstanding and the ambiance is one-of-a-kind. My only regret was ordering a salad... but otherwise, everything else was terrific! I can't wait to be back in Downtown Santa Barbara!! read more

Jane is a cute restaurant. It looks small from the outside, but is actually pretty large. They have seating on the first floor, 2 second floor areas and a patio on the second floor. They have a pretty good selection of food on the menu. ===Service=== From the beginning the service was friendly. The hostess greeted us with a smile and sat us up on the second floor. Our waitress was very helpful in choosing a dish. Great service. ===Food=== El Macho burger: Pasilla chile, jack cheese, avocado, onion, tomato and a spicy chipotle aioli. The burger wasn't spicy at all, but it was still good. I love any juicy burger that is topped with avocado. 4/5 Grilled chicken breast: Cilantro, Anaheim chiles, onions, tomatoes and cream. The sauce wasn't too heavy which I thought it was going to be. The chicken was cooked perfectly with the skin on. It was also served with steamed broccolini and a scalloped potato. The scalloped potato was just absolutely delicious! 4/5 Coconut cake: I'm not a huge fan of coconut. Actually I'm more towards the side that hates coconuts, but this cake was so light and fluffy and not too sweet. It was a great dessert to end the meal. Next time I'm in Santa Barbara I will gladly come back to Janes. I also recommend you trying it out for yourself since I had a great time and a delicious meal here at Janes. read more

Just stopped here for lunch as we were passing through Santa Barbara. I fully enjoyed my meal. I ordered the steak sandwich and my husband ordered the fish sandwich. Both were incredibly delicious,m. The baguette that the steak sandwich was on, was fresh and perfectly toasted... I struggled with wanting to finish the whole thing, but being too full. Plus I wanted to save a little room for the coconut cake. We ordered the coconut cake for desert. It was light and creamy and not overly sweet. The layers of buttercream and a nice saltiness that complimented the sauce that went with it. I definitely recommend ordering the cake if you happen to stop in here to eat. When in Santa Barbara again, I will definitely stop by to try their dinner menu. read more

Absolutely delicious. We've been going to Santa Barbara annually and finally got to try here. It's been on our radar for a couple years. Down to earth, rustic and homey feel. While I could have eaten the whole breadbasket, I held back for my main course. We ordered chicken piccata, new york strip steak and the filet mignon. All were delicious. I could have licked my plate clean but we were in public. I used the bread to mop up the sauce that came with the perfectly cooked filet mignon; if I could have taken all the sauces to go I would have. The filet came with veggies and I think cheesy sliced potatoes and that to die for sauce with mushrooms (a fancy mushroom not a common button). The chicken piccata made our eyes pop; just the right amount of tang and so savory. It came with a small side of perfectly cooked pasta and tender vegetables. The NY steak was way overcooked, but still gobbled up; my dinner mates are not the type to send food back. We got the much mentioned coconut cake which we ate up like street raccoons. This is on our Santa Barbara list from now on. I can't wait to come back and try something else. The fish specials looked good but I avoided it because I saw too many reviews saying they did were not satisfied with their fish dish. Go early to beat the crowd! read more

What a beautiful little date spot in the heart of Downtown Santa Barbara! The ambiance here was simply perfect! We had a RSVP for a early dinner so we got to literally pick our seat so we sat right by the window. But they also have a nice fireplace or even balcony seating if you're looking for an nice private area for your party. The service was top notch the entire night with our awesome waiter and hostess definitely giving full service! http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=FNbWLCaAqciNgpZhKjgw9Q&userid=RS4AjuF4glgClCkdgD4nDA The menu is pretty much full of modern American cuisines ranging from your burgers, pasta and salads. Also checkout the daily special menu for the chef's special selections of the day. The portion side and all pretty large so be prepared for a the on-coming food coma! Don't say i didn't warn you! We started off with the highly acclaimed Firestone Red Rings & Spicy Herb Cream. This definitely did not disappoint and was actually a very interesting take on the usual onion ring. The spicy and sweet balsamic vinegar mixture drizzled on top of the rings gave each bite another level of flavor boost along with the creamy spicy herb cream dipping sauce. This was literally a party in your mouth as each crunchy bite was quite simply "an organism in your mouth" lol http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=yaHM4tc5QgJhf_arir7FHg&userid=RS4AjuF4glgClCkdgD4nDA Our main entree selections included: El Macho Burger: Pasilla Chile, Avocado, Jack Cheese, Tomato, Red Onions & Spicy Chipotle Mayonnaise served with seasoned fries. This was another outstanding selection with the super moist angus burger kicked up a notch by the spicy chile and pepper jack and super tangy chipotle mayo. I think i literally wharfed this burger down in record time, YES it was that delicious... or maybe i was just hungry? ermo... http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=dQyNaQcFQZ1Og4FraB8RUg&userid=RS4AjuF4glgClCkdgD4nDA Fettuccine & Homemade Lamb Sausage Spinach, Tomatoes, Roast Garlic & Cream. This was probably the least fav dish of the night. The sauce was alittle on the dry side, although the lamb sausage was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. If you're not a garlic fan definitely skip this dish too as you literally get mouth fulls of roasted garlic cloves with each bite. Or if you're on a hot date you'd probably want to push those gloves to the side. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=kLFayL9iabqSFC6Xaridaw&userid=RS4AjuF4glgClCkdgD4nDA For dessert we had the creme brulee. Sadly i was abit disappointed with this brulee. It was definitely alittle soft compared to the typical french cremes as if they didn't steam it long enough. Strangely it also seemed like they steamed the brulee part as it was super chewy instead of the usual hard sugary crunch you would expect. But hey it was still good, but not the best i've had... http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=I1UCBT-nLdaGUG0ouqdqBA&userid=RS4AjuF4glgClCkdgD4nDA read more

JANE is a beautiful and intimate boutique restaurant on the upper end of State Street and is considered one of Santa Barbara's gems. It's in close proximity to the Arlington theatre and a bunch of clothing/novelty shops. I came to JANE with my boyfriend, which is no surprise there since this restaurant is very date-worthy and romantic. I always ask for a table next to the big window in the entrance or on the upstairs balcony in the corner for the most intimate dining experience here. FOOD- We started off with the Goat Cheese Pancakes ($12) which were delectable; it almost reminded me of a Russian dish with the use of their sour cream and golden caviar on top of their beautifully sliced smoked salmon. We also ordered their Grilled Pasilla Chile ($12) as an appetizer, which to my knowledge was a bit soggy and under cooked, and I felt that the tomato vinaigrette could have been toned down, but the fresh cilantro that topped the swiss cheese made it an okay starter. Another appetizer we started off with before our meal were their Firestone red onion rings ($12). Like the Grilled Pasilla Chile, the Balsamic glaze was a bit overwhelming but the onions were well battered and glistened perfectly when cut into with the spicy herb cream. I really enjoyed them! For the main courses I decided to look on Yelp to see what previous customers hadn't reviewed yet but from also asking our lovely waiter what his recommendations were, I decided on choosing the Chicken Piccata ($23) which was served with vegetables and perfectly cooked Fettuccine glazed in white wine and capers that worked well with the chicken. My boyfriend chose the Jane burger ($14) which to my surprise had delectable Gouda cheese and caramelized onions but on the short side of gourmet, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In short, the food is amazing, the restaurant is in a perfect location for a beautiful sunset if you sit on the balcony, JANE honors reservations, staff is in tip-top shape, and you will have an amazing time dining here! read more

(honest review from a 12 year old) in sb, overall JANE calamari 4/10 taste very dry and lemony, to sour, i love sour but im not feeling it with this. doesnt feel right. i feel like it was defrosted from the freezer. the sauce is good it taste like siracha and ranch. *janes caesar 5.5/10 honestly mid salad only liked the cretans (only reason its a 5.5) drier then my ashy knees. *chicken picatta zucchini is very fishy after tasting, cut like noddles very sour. noddles are undercooked and had very little cheese, felt buttery and DRY. *bread and butter 5/10 the bread is kinda soggy and cold. the butter is unsalted you can barely taste it and its cold and is hard to spread. i needed to put salt for this unflavorful bread. how do you think this is it? mid- wouldnt return... *water 7.5/10 good water. GREAT ice. (only thing thats keeping these meals together) OVERALL REVIEWW 1/10 this place is atrocious. absolutely horrendous. this "restaurant" or whatever you call it is absolutely inadequate and abysmal. the freaking food was so dry and dreadful. felt like my mouth got hit with WW3. this place is deplorable, disgraceful, woeful, unsatisfactory, lamentable, appalling, shockingly disgusting and yucky. i don't recommend this place at all. it is unfathomablely awful. i feel bad for the people that eat here. if you plan on going here for a nice dinner just go to Mc Donald's or chipotle. however the waiter was ok 4/10. shut this place down and build a pizza hut its so bad pls do not go here. read more

Cute date spot. Clean and quaint. Tables fill up fast! Try to make reservations beforehand, especially if you have a large group! When we entered, there was no one to greet us at the door so we stood there waiting for the hostess for about 5 minutes which is a definite no-no in my book of restaurant etiquette! Hence, the 3 star (and not 4 star review). Service the whole time was also just mediocre and on the cold side. Hmph. However, the food made up for a lot of the blah service! FIRESTONE RED RINGS! This has got to be the BEST onion rings I have ever had in my life! SO GOOD! Even without the spicy herb cream dipping sauce, it's good just on its own. What's their secret? I have no clue. But trust me on this one and get this! Definitely not your average onion rings! HALF PAPAYA & DUNGENESS CRAB SALAD BOWL - I enjoyed this salad bowl but it was a littleeeee bit too sweet for me with the papaya and the honey lime dressing. The toasted almonds were a nice touch though! I also expected the dungeness crab to be in bigger pieces, but it was shredded up kinda like California Roll imitation crab style. :( Boo. Not what I expected. Overall, the salad was fresh and yummy but I wouldn't get it again. read more

Came here from a friend's recommendation and left feeling very satisfied. The restaurant is very cute with high ceilings, two sides of mezzanine levels, yet oddly still maintains a quaint feel. We walked in seeing an open table for two. The manager asked if we had a reservation and seemed a little stunted when we said no. Maybe consider making one if you're celebrating a special occasion? Anyway, we ordered the Grilled Chicken Breast and a Grilled Hawaiian Ono. One word: delicious! Both dishes came with veggies and potatoes, both were moist and both had great accompanying sauces. We topped off our meal with the Coconut Cream Cake and though the exterior cream was not a favorite, the rest of the cake was scrumptious and I would recommend it. Jane's great, give it a try! read more
