Ahh, ok.
maybe they should devote 1-3% of their menu space to the vegan population
She owned it from 2005 to 2023.
Interesting that Oprah didn't add 377 Santa Rosa Lane to her Santa Rosa portfolio.
Right, because the carnivores also have to ask what's on the menu.
The best way to reach the bar is to contact it directly at [email protected].
5+ million (!!!) for a Montecito Shores condo where acoustics are so bad you can hear your upstairs and downstairs neighbors every move ???
The Habit Burger Grill in La Cumbre Shopping Center
At the beginning, or anytime, will you consider having a group reserve for 20+ peeps for a HH?
It's calle Santa Barbara Social Club and we have over 200 members. We're an outgrowth of Newcomers Club and keep busy with many activities
“The Habit “ burger restaurant behind Bristol Farms in the La Cumbre shopping center.
Want to say thanks for having some N/A mocktails! We Sober Sallies like to have fun too 😀
Haha—more proof that vegans are so needy…
Former Pollo Loco at northeast corner of State Street and Calle Laurales?
I can’t wait to find myself at The Mullet! Looks amazing!
I love this! I see potential for theme nights as well for specific artists. We need more third spaces where folks can come together around shared interests and even if it's just listening to their favorite music, it's helping to build much needed community.
Ted, I'm not sure who told you...sadly tip pooling doesn't generally tip out the back of the house. "Back-of-House Staff: Kitchen staff like cooks, chefs, and dishwashers are generally excluded from tip pools under California's strict standards " I once worked where the kitchen was tipped out. Once. All other places no tips for BOH. Your reasoning, "If there are only few employees at the counter, then more of the tip goes to the kitchen" is a bit off. It doesn't work that way in the industry.
I had dinner at El Encanto a few months ago. The food was not memorable, nor was the service. To make things even worse, both of us had food poisoning and were sick all night (we shared everything). I wrote to them, but I never heard a word back. I miss the old El Encanto. I will not be going back again.
This place looks SO COOL!
I'm told local restaurants usually pool tips across FOH and kitchen, so I always tip at least 10% (even on takeout) for the cooks. If there are only few employees at the counter, then more of the tip goes to the kitchen.
15% or more if I'm dining in, and 20% or more for table service.
I do dislike tipping up front though. I miss having discretion based on the actual service.
Looks like his chef (and maybe co owner) has opened a new place called Bodega Flower Girl on Gutierrez and State with some of the same menu offerings. He also has a place called The Factory on Haley. Mainly wine and music but some food.
Wasn't that restaurant always themed around Alfred Hitchcock? I ate at the Blackbird years ago after it opened and it that was the theme. It's recycled.
I am so sad to see this space close. It was very special. But it was made so special by Drew and the community he built around the space, so I am sure its legacy will grow even bigger in the transition. Satellite forever!
I live in Europe and it stresses me out every time I come back to the US and have to deal with those ubiquitous electronic tip prompts!? I always feel guilty if I don't leave the suggested amount but it's annoying to have to tip everywhere you go here.
In two places where I am a regular, they zero out the tip option before I get the screen. I still tip, but there’s no reason to tip 15 or 20% if you’re bussing the table. It’s hard out there for most of the people who are responsible for our daily interactions. Tipping 10% for a counter person isn’t going to hurt me.
Thanks Erik (& RL)! Those are pretty much my conclusions as well. The insight on Realtor is good to know. I especially appreciate older listing photos for all the flips & floops. I smiled when the last 'Just Listed' post was Zillow links. If someone brought all the best features together in one site they'd get all the traffic. I love an open house and curating the finer properties in one spot makes it easy and fun. Thank you!
