The "perfect location across from the ocean" and "close to shops and restaurants" may be this "old-world", "Spanish-style" indie's strongest attribute, although the "beautiful grounds" and "warm, friendly front-desk service" also draw notice; comments are mixed about the rooms, which some find "quaint" and "romantic" and others decry as "old and musty" with "dirty carpets" and "1980s decor"; P.S. the lack of "adequate parking" irks drivers.

Like a "poor man's Spago", this Beverly Hills–bred pizza chain "mainstay" dishes up "gourmet" pies with "exotic" toppings like shrimp, pineapple and BBQ chicken (though some "work better than others") plus "tasty salads"; "iffy service", "hectic" vibes and "bright, clinical" decor can be downers, but "inexpensive" tabs keep most branches "crowded" and parents proclaim them "a godsend if you have kids."

"Exceptional since it opened" in 1982, this "foodie original" owned by John and Liz Downey (he cooks and she runs the front of the house) turns out "magnificent" Cal-French cuisine emphasizing "local ingredients treated with care", and boasts a "wonderful", "convivial" staff – earning it the No. 1 score for Service as well as the Most Popular title in Santa Barbara; a "quiet", "romantic" setting enhances the meal, so most agree the "expensive" tab is "worth it."

Any "favorite of Julia Child" is "way good enough for me" boast fans of this Mexican "shack" in Santa Barbara, a "one-star setting" with "five-star food" (and order-at-the-counter service) where "grilled meats", "off-the-charts horchata" and "tender" tortillas made right before your eyes are among the sought-after specialties; true, the lines often "snake" down the block, but that's no problem for peso-pinchers who pronounce it a "champion" of "cheap" eats.

"After all of these years", the "lovely" patio is still "the place to be" at these independently owned, "unpretentious" and "trusty" Italians on Beverly Boulevard and in Brea and Santa Barbara; between a staff that "takes good care of you" and "consistent value" for "excellent" lunches and dinners, admirers wonder why they don't "go more often."

"Even the practice range has a unique setting" at this "hilly", "challenging course" where the "many memorable holes" feature "lots of elevation changes" and "pretty" "views down to Santa Barbara and the Pacific"; "beautifully kept" grounds and reasonable prices combine to make it the place to go "if you're in the area and need a relaxed round of golf."

"Simply the best-kept secret in the West", this "cool course" designed by RTJ Jr. is a "difficult" "beauty in a terrific environment" along the Santa Ynez River (think "elevation changes" and scenic mountain views); a few fret about holes that are "too tricked-up" and prices that "can be a little spendy", but most suggest the "outstanding staff" and "don't-miss 19th hole" are two more reasons "it's worth the trip if you're in the Santa Barbara area."
