Using confrontational language to get your point across is only going to provoke vs persuade the roughly 96% of the entire USA that isn't vegan and enjoys delicious beef, lamb, chicken, seafood etc. Criticizing a restaurant based on assumptions before seeing their menu (and before they even open) ain't gonna help either. Perhaps you might want to consider preparing your meals at home and pay a "plating fee" similar to corkage for wine. You sound like a restaurant staff's wet dream.
Please add comfortable chairs.
How about “spiffer upper”?
That’s not true
Redesign or Update worthy may be options.
Let the buyer be the judge.
Some are obvious!
Not a fixer, but a “rejuvenator”
I may have heard or read that public market doesn’t want them duplicating the same menu. May be why Empty Bowl opened with a different name in Montecito (and sadly failed).
Natalie Portman actually owned a Barton Myers house on Toro Canyon Road.
Property market is moribund. Hopefully the New Year will bring a thaw.
That Barton Myers house was owned by Natalie Portman until 2022 - cool indeed. And since you asked, other softer words for "fixer" could be needs updating, refreshing, spiffing, nip and tuck, polishing, modernizing.
Jenna, we can’t wait for you to open your own restaurant and apply all those guidelines.
Looking forward. That place will be amazing
Each member of the SB city council makes about $100K/year, which includes salary and benefits. So that's an annual cost of about $700K. As you point out, the SB city budget is $577 million per year. So the city council salaries are about 1/10 of 1% of the overall city budget. Maybe the city council members are overpaid, or maybe not, I have no idea. But I do know that if you are looking for significant savings in the city budget, you should probably look elsewhere.
I wonder if the landlord for a Montecito restaurant space are only expecting a level of rent that could be paid by a casual restaurant that sells tacos and burritos.
Looking forward to checking it out!
Bar Lou already screwed Oliver's fabulous interior !
You don't think plenty of animals are killed in the farming of fruits and veggies? Or are they just not cute enough for you to care about?

I hope Monte’s will offer organic ingredients
Jenna, you sound very angry and your use of language far too harsh. Are you one of those folks that throw paint or worse at people wearing animal skins or fur?
Don't screw with the interior just open and use the $500k to $1 million saved to keep prices lower. We have enough $300 a couple for dinner restaurants
Agree. No one wants to spend $33 on an enchilada and eat it in a parking lot. Have the same Corazon as the Public Market and it will be a hit!
Either that or bring back Little Alex's (and Peabodys! :))
1030 Via Los Padres: Do shutters in a shower get mildewy or hard to clean? I've always wondered about the best way to block the view in a shower with a larger window.
Suggestion: Needs a way better/unique restaurant name and actual creatively cooked vegan options besides a salad where you have to tell them to omit the dead animal and dairy. Farm-to-table should really mean celebrating the myriad of fruits & veggies, not the murder of animals. Harvest over horror. 🌱
"Corazon Montecito" would be my bet as well. When I first heard Corazon was opening in Montecito, I assumed it would be the same fabulous menu as Corazon in the SB Marketplace. Some of the best Ceviches and Mexican food in town ! And please have Corazon's tortilla chips on the menu . .. best in town !!!!
Okay! Sounds interesting,
What a bunch of disappointing houses. It makes me sad.
