Satellite has always been such a gem -- the live music outside, the patio, and sipping some of the best natural wine in town is something my friends and I genuinely look forward to. Their cheese board is my go‑to: easy to graze on while you relax, chat, and enjoy a glass. One of my favorite memories was when my dad called from a Michelin‑star restaurant in Chicago, telling me he'd tried a Santa Barbara small‑batch natural dessert wine. He was visiting the next weekend, and I was determined to find it. Of course, Satellite had a few bottles left. Being able to surprise him with it was such a fun moment -- and honestly, a testament to how thoughtfully curated their wines are.

I did put some creamed horseradish on a couple of bites. My wife had the 3 chile samplers. Stage Coach, 3 game chile, and the chlle verde. All excellent. I upgraded my side to the 3 game chile. It cost a bit more, but worth it. Afterwards, check out the place and the surrounding forest area.

Food Went here after reading about it online and wanting to…read moretry the tri-tip sandwich. We ordered some nachos and a tri-tip sandwich and we enjoyed the food overall. Just outside the restaurant, you can see them smoking the tri-tip which added to the experience and to the craving of the sandwich. First, the nachos were pretty good, they were heavy handed on the chips and filling and made for an enjoyable eating experience and the flavors of it were pretty good as well. Now to the the tri-tip sandwich, we loved the sandwich as the meat was really tender to the point that the sandwich doesn't disassemble when you bite into it. The flavor of the meat itself really good and I would definitely come back just for the sandwich alone Service/Ambiance We had arrived right around opening time and the place was already starting to get packed. Parking is just along the road so take note of that and it was really full by the time we were leaving. For our party of two, we got seated pretty much right away inside the restaurant. The vibe of the place was really nice as it had that old style homey feel and being surrounded by nature added to the nice ambiance. The staff were nice and service of the food was relatively quick as well, overall a really great experience

And if you show up with a group larger than six, just know you may not all be seated together. This is more of an intimate night out spot, not a birthday chaos situation. The space has a vintage midcentury vibe inside a historic building. Moody, dim, a little dramatic in the best way. I actually love how dark it is. It feels cinematic. Like you should be whispering something scandalous over a martini. We came before an SBIFF event and grabbed seats at the bar. Sitting at the bar here just feels right. We ordered the deviled eggs and the chopped salad, very much a Cobb situation and super satisfying. My partner had the steak and frites, which disappeared quickly, always a good sign. I ordered a dirty gin martini. Cold, briny, and exactly what I wanted. My partner and I also had a nostalgic moment remembering when The Sportsman used to be in this space. The memories we had there. This feels like a polished, grown up chapter of that era.

The dining room is much larger than it appears through the building's exterior windows, which was a pleasant surprise. We were seated at a long table that comfortably accommodated all seven of us, making it perfect for our group. My friend is very pleasant and sociable, but she is also quite clumsy. While chatting and enthusiastically gesturing with her hands, she accidentally knocked over her full glass of red wine, spilling the entire contents onto the man sitting across the table from her. His pants were completely soaked in red wine! Most of the group laughed at the unexpected mishap, but I felt terrible for our friend. He was a good sport, though, and never seemed upset. The waiter immediately came to our aid, removing the white tablecloth and replacing it with a fresh one. I truly appreciated how gracious, patient, and understanding the staff was throughout the whole situation. They handled the unexpected incident with such professionalism and kindness that it made a memorable moment much easier to laugh about. Thank you for your wonderful service and for making our experience so enjoyable. We will definitely dine here again--and hopefully my guests won't be quite so entertaining next time around!
