scarlett begonia

what a find! fresh,organicand flavorful. my 9 year old says 'what delightful salted buttery noodles'. for those of you who have traveled in belgium, sb serves pomme frites, not french fries. the rueben was made with the kind of corned beef you dream about and a homemade kraut from red cabbage, not to mention the soft, hearty grilled rye that still makes my mouth water.
we couldn't stop there, though, and moved on dessert where they served an angel food cake encrusted with a crispy-caramel-praline coating and filled with a butter creme that was to die-for. won't find a lunch like that again for a long time. well done!

best restaurant in sb. this restaurant is top notch. i've eaten there 3 times now with a good friend and it's as good as california cuisine gets. the dishes are innovative, the specials have been non-pareil, the use of local, fresh,organicingredients is refreshing. it's a family style business and the service is excellent. everyone there is on a mission to make your time there enjoyable in every way possible. the prices are excellent and the baked goods are prepared onsite and fresh daily. there aren't very many restaurants like this in southern california much less santa barbara. they serve breakfast and lunch so if you get there before 3pm you'll have a great time! i called a to-go order of chicken pot pie and salmon flatbread in yesterday and picked it up 10 minutes later. the garlic-lemon spread on the flatbread made this the best lox i've ever had. everything is fresh and the portions are good.
