I remember when the owner of Piranha had a restaurant at 801 State, I think it was called Rock's. It was a great spot to have a drink and meal and people watch. This is a great spot on State that would attract a simple breakfast with good coffee, lunch and dinner. Don't think it's a great late night spot.
With multiple candidates for mayor in Santa Barbara, can someone be elected with fewer than 50% of the votes? That seems 'undemocratic'. If currently so, ranked choice voting should be implemented. I seem to remember that Rowse was elected with less than 50% support.
Agreed!
Recently ate at Buellton Rudy’s. The blandness, the chipped plate, the wobbly tables with worn out booths- at least when the gal told us “cash only” she was smiling. One out of two plates wrong items. Used to love Montecito Street Rudy’s….
I thought we got rid of Ellen for good? Can someone please tell her Donald J Trump is still President for four more glorious years?
Mosaic locale on state and anapamu
A frozen to fried chain restaurant in the harbor would be excruciatingly devastating to the locals and inevitably result in another empty space while the vetting process starts all over again.
🤣
It was an excruciating toss up during a 3 day catered round table at San Yisdro Ranch, where they ate caviar and foie gras paired with 1996 Salon an 1921Chateau D'yquem, respectively.
"Coral Casino Restaurant by Chef Thomas Keller" and "Chef Thomas Keller's Coral Casino Restaurant" were fiercely debated for two days straight, punches were thrown, With all the foie over 3 days, gout set in for several round table members and in the end a coin was flipped and we have our new restaurant name.

Sad news about The Rochers at the Ranch House. My husband and I were fortunate enough to dine there a few months ago (and now wish we’d gone back sooner) and had one of the most exceptional dining experiences we’ve had in this area. We wish them all the best in future endeavors.
Damn, The corral casino marketing agency went all out… how do they come up with all that creativity???
“You’re” is the contraction for “you are”. “Your” is a modifier before a noun.
You’re a MAGA ignoramus.
Your eighth grade report card average must have been C-.
See?
So excited about Coyotes Market in Carp. Any chance you could also be a cheese monger? That seems to be the only thing missing in our wonderful town! Best of luck and see you in the spring!
I suspect a necessary upgrade of the Derfs space will be cost prohibitive. Should have let it be.
Your work is appreciated and something I look forward to! You keep me excited about being a part of the SB community, even after living here over 4 decades. It's not an easy task but I appreciate your balance of humor, factual reporting and keen eye for style, great food and the general comings and goings of SB. Keep it up and thank you!
Good to know!
2709 Vista Oceano is immediately to the north of Nesbitt, and above that is the Pacifica Graduate Institute property that's on the market.
From SBA's Instagram post (likely source of Edhat's article): "San Diego service is returning with two carriers: Alaska starting on April 22, and Southwest starting August 4."
Alaska is adding SBA to SAN not SWA I believe.
That’s Pat Nesbitt’s estate - it’s been on the market for several years.
The property immediately to the north is the Pacifica Graduate Institute, now on the market for $17.9 million .
Horses.
Antique Alley on State Street just found out that they have lost their lease. The guy at the counter said the original owner has retired, and the building is being sold. Moving to another location seemed unlikely to make economic sense as their current lease is affordable and the location ideal.
I do love how the Zillow listing says "A globally recognized private estate bordering the highly prestigious city of Montecito," Did I miss an election on Cityhood?
And on Google Maps, what is the deal with property due north? 2907 Vista Oceano. Giant Gararge? Pavillion. Maybe a wedding and events venue?
