Technically, it's Santa Barbara, but it already feels way more like Montecito than any part of Santa Barbara, geographically and otherwise. And when they'e done with it, it will definitely feel like Montecito.
That is… I wouldn’t consider it to be *Montecito 😅
Excited to try the new coffee shop. That said, I wouldn’t consider The Post development to be Santa Barbara from both a technical and a vernacular (like CVR( perspective. Welcome to Santa Barbara, Little King.
As Erik mention on Oct 30th
“everytime i mention Wexler’s someone complains about it”. I’ve heard lots of complaints too!
Bottomline - there are better sandwiches & Better places to eat them in SB
THAT’S A SLICE OF HEAVEN!
The developer doesn’t have the Magic Cabaret building or the apartment building behind it. But the former gym and Stella Mare’s are part of the Post
Ooooh. Paradise Pie! Only for a month, though? Dang.
Wexler's just got in there...and now they are out? That was fast.
What happened with Wexler’s? They’re getting the boot? Rebranding? I’m confused. They were so highly anticipated and opened not that long ago.
Thank you for the great update on The Post! Very exciting! Did the developer acquire all property between Stella Mare and Ospsi? I am hopeful the entire section will be updated.
Happy to see the news about Miracle reservations raising funds for CALM. We officially changed our name a few years ago and CALM is CALM, no longer an acronym. :)

You / all / will / be / fine ❤️
Haters gonna hate. Your efforts with Siteline are appreciated by many.
Honor Bar does the job but it's just a fancy Houston's
I always find myself quietly laughing at your writing as if trying to hide my glee from a pretentious onlooker. Its a refreshing reminder not to take ourselves too seriously!
Went & ordered a bunch of apps since they all sounded great. We thought the food was a true cut above Little Doms (although the crab cake was disappointingly mushy) & more befitting the upscale locale. A carrot & lentil app was the favorite. The service needs a lot of improvement with the exception of an industrious & courteous bus boy (sorry for the demeaning title - he was very much an adult). The wait staff is young & seems inexperienced. Despite an unsolicited offer to pace the dishes, we were innundated with more dishes than could fit on the table all at once & asked how we liked each dish before we could even serve ourselves. Hopefully they will train their staff & get up to speed.
We had an early dinner around sunset last Saturday evening. We ordered light fare sharing the most amazing salad (Chicories, manchego, dates, pecans) that was very large and a most delicious treat...highly highly recommended! That and the french fries would have been plenty with a glass of wine :)
The owner, Warner Ebbink introduced himself and we had a friendly chat as I mentioned I had originally remodeled the Coast Village Inn and Peabodys too many years ago but gave him some history on the site.
I liked the set up of small tables in front of the bar watching the sunset and the staff was amazing!!!
Enjoy...
N/D comes to Siteline.
And I'm appalled by your grammar.
Apparently Erik Torkells is a guy from Orange County (poor Soul) who moved to New York and has now assumed the position of local food critic. I am friends with the Owners of Lil Doms including Warner and grew up in Cito. Started to go to Peabody's when it opened, when I was a kid, decades ago and Gary owned it and Joe ran the kitchen. I Like Lil Doms and will definitely try this new place but the Comments on decor leave me believing this guy has no local credibility. Peabody's obviously needed a remodel and Craig McCaw spent millions doing it. I liked it. I really liked the Bar and the big, high quality TV. I will mis the TV. I hope I and our family enjoy the food. I am not impressed withMr. Torkells' Commentary on interior design.
I’ll miss bar stools that are comfortable! They need arms and backs!
You’re totally right on!
Amazing! Nice to have a laugh this morning.
The part of the patio that had trees still has them; the part that's along Coast Village Road (pictured here) never had trees, if I remember correctly. As for the furniture, I thought it worked nicely in the space.
