Favorite people!
Nicole G.

I came in with a friend on a typical Friday night--it was super busy, but we managed to snag two bar seats as people were leaving. The staff was amazing! Everyone was working seamlessly together, drinks were flowing, and people were leaving happy and full. Plus, I got to see all of my favorite people at once. Such a great time!

Kid's menu

We had a great meal here! We ordered the turkey bacon club with fries, the center cut sirloin (with mashed potatoes and a side salad), and a couple of kids' meals; a cheeseburger with fries and the fettuccine Alfredo. The kids loved their food, and we enjoyed ours just as much. The fries were crispy and cooked perfectly. The steak was cooked exactly how I requested (medium rare) and was so flavorful it didn't even need A1. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, and the salad was fresh with yummy ranch dressing. The ambiance was casual and welcoming. They have a full bar, and we really enjoyed the music which was a fun variety with something for everyone. Our server was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back when we come back into the area.

Looks like disappointment

Great spot right in downtown Carpinteria! On and off street parking. Large menu with lots of options. Get the wings! Strong drinks at a really reasonable priced and the service was outstanding. Will be back.

We popped in on a whim since we were already in the area, and we're so glad we did! We were seated…read morepretty quickly on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, which was a great start. Our server gave us a few recommendations, and we ended up ordering the Fish Piccata (the fish of the day was halibut), fried potatoes, and the uni. Everything was absolutely delicious -- we didn't leave a single bite behind. I couldn't pass up the olive oil cake for dessert, and I'm so glad I didn't. It was so good that I ended up taking two slices to go!

My family and I had a really disappointing experience here, easily one of the worst meals we've had…read morein years. For a place called "Little Dom's Seafood," the menu barely offers any seafood at all; no clams, no crab, no lobster. Just one fish option, oysters, and maybe a shrimp dish. The rest is pizza, salad, and pasta, which felt misleading. The only thing we enjoyed was my youngest's spaghetti and meatballs. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was great, and the meatballs were genuinely delicious. Everything else missed the mark: * The fish crudo was so heavily seasoned and oily that you couldn't taste the fish. * The margherita pizza was undercooked. * The fish sandwich was drowning in sauce, and the brioche bun was soggy and greasy. * Even the Diet Coke tasted watered‑down and off. Service didn't help. We waited far too long despite the dining room being mostly empty. We were told they were "really busy," but there were plenty of open tables. For $165, the value just wasn't there. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was a genuinely poor experience from start to finish, and I wouldn't return. Oh wait the bathroom was exceptionally clean and well equipped that was a great experience and the restaurant looks great and has very comfortable tables and seats

We paid over $80 for two tacos, a burrito, and two margaritas that were TWENTY SIX dollars each. They trick you by filling a mason jar with huge ice cubes and pouring diluted margarita inside. Even the mason jars weren't full; they're THAT cheap. If I wasn't here on a date and blinded by heart-eyes and the blissfully good mood that comes with that, I would have walked out when I saw the joke drink prices. Also the burrito was mediocre and had soggy small French fries inside as filler. Props to the owner of the business for getting all his personal friends to write the comically exaggerated 10/10 amazeballs reviews congratulating him by name on the opening. You guys don't even talk to your own mothers like that, get a grip Acting like the chef was Wolfgang Puck. Trash Mexican restaurant trying to look trendy by imitating the industrial building look, and serves the underwhelming experience to match.

The reason for my 3 star review is that I did enjoy the drinks and dessert but the food and…read moreappetizer I definitely think were not the best quality. I ordered a queso fundido for $15 and although the flavor was there and was very cheesy I did not like the presentation of the plate. It also looked like it was reheated in the microwave and for $15 I do expect more. The El Cali burrito was $20 and the skirt steak was bad quality. It should have easy to chew but the chewing was never ending. The burrito was a bit messy as well from the beans as it had too much bean broth. We also were not offered any salsas for our food. I also wish the burrito could have been cut in half. Moving on to the good stuff was the passionfruit margarita. Although it was not my first option I decided to try it since I was told their frozen margaritas were not available today. The drink was strong and had a great passionfruit flavor which I loved. Presentation was beautifully. The strawberry tres leches were $10.50 but it was delicious! It was flavorful, was moist, had a good amount of crema, and had lots of strawberries! I would return just for their dessert slice. Service seemed rushed as the employee did not offer us any utensils for our cake slice and customers kept coming back asking for utensils. The large open seating is great but they do need more shade as the sun hits pretty hard in the lounging area. They also have a beautiful bar.
