Celeste, I recently missed reading the book and I felt exactly the same way you do.
Was 361 Hot Springs always a vacant lot, or was there a house there before the Thomas Fire mudslides?
South Coast Deli has terrific salads that are quite reasonable and huge! order online to save time.
I miss places like Soup Plantation... I am glad to live near Natural Cafe though.
Christine!
Thank you.
Yeah- lets hear about the initial build and eventual redo! I am so happy for all the lake lovers
Sorry about your restaurant closing
To everyone who has never owned or operated a successful restaurant. Please stop telling restauranteurs what they need to be opening and why. If someone wants to open a healthy/salad restaurant they will. I don’t think a restauranteur is going to read these comments and say oh yeah…???? Why am I not doing this. It takes a lot of investment and a lot of courage and now how to open up any restaurant.
Please be respectful!
It’s not all about you getting your cheap salad at lunchtime.

Ugh yeah Everytable is SUCH a disappointment - was looking forward to it immensely because it would be so convenient and inexpensive. Now I just get to walk past it every day on the way to work and see its stupid dumb logo and grumble inwardly at its inability to launch.
There actually is a petition out there but yea we really really need this and such a good fit!
It never ceases to amaze me how awful people can be when they can hide behind the anonymity of the internet. If you don't want to participate in this business, Paloma, you don't have to! You're allowed to decide where to spend your money, just like everyone else. Instead of celebrating a working mom who managed to start a business in town with other moms in mind, you decided to tear her and her idea down. The worst kind of woman tears other women down instead of lifting them up. Maybe you could learn something from the kiddos this was made for -- if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!
What about Savoy? They have a salad bar or you can get a plate with multiple sides/veggies or soup.
Understood as many expensive establishments (e.g. golf clubs, athletic clubs etc) use this method to filter clientele. The reality though in this case is the city doesn't allow enough housing and commercial building, which keeps lease costs high and would necessitate a high subscription cost to pay the bills for any business attempting this model. We shouldn't be shaming local businesses for attempting to get a cool concept off the ground, rather we need to look at our nimby politics and associated consequences in the mirror... in my humble opinion.
Spoken like someone who has attempted and accomplished nothing in their lives. Continue to enjoy the cheap seats in the peanut gallery ... boomer.
Yes!
If you don't like it Paloma then you don't need to go to it and keep your mean thoughts to yourself. Ever think of that?
G - I'd love to understand what is so wrong with a boob in a nursery? Do you understand how breastfeeding works?
Nonna, 951 South Westlake Blvd., Westlake Village, is excellent; just past Townsgate Road where Brent's is located. Easy-on/easy-off the 101 -- a perfect dinner place for meeting friends from LA
I totally agree. There is a dearth of fast casual fresh food here. It’s ironic we don’t have more great salad/fresh options given the availability of amazing produce here. Whenever we get takeout (which is a little too often lately) I’m stumped on choices that don’t feel heavy, especially for dinner hours. The Daisy is our usual go to but I need more options. Secret Bao has a decent salad but only at lunch. By the time dinner menus roll around most places have switched to heavier evening food. Tyger Tyger has a good crispy rice salad you can add protein to but still, I need more options!
I have been saying this for years! Feels like there's a huge market for quick healthy salads here.
How about a shout out for Hook'd Bar & Grill at Lake Cachuma, tasty food, good service with great view!
Old Orcutt has a new salad themed spot opening- the operators will be moving their old concept/menu to their popular foodtruck and install the salad menu soon- like this week/next week. I am stoked- they are called The Shift. Remember Soup Plantation? I try to hit Savoy a few times a year??
anyone complaining about the price -- while thats obviously a valid complaint and i agree -- you have to just understand its intentional and its clear this space isn't meant for you; they want a certain type of member/social circle, and the pricing accomplishes that. Theres a certain type of person who can afford that, and thats who they all want to be hanging around.
Not a huge fan of chains, especially not in SB, but I feel like I need to draw up a petition to get a SweetGreen or similar casual salad franchise in Santa Barbara. I think we can all agree (looking forward to disagreeing replies) that a vibrant daytime State St. helps everyone, and it's tough to get a quick salad for $10-$15. They were going to open up that Everytable spot within the Amazon office on State, but I've lost hope.
European Deli has been around for quite some time. Been going there because it's the only place to get eastern european basics. Wishing them all the best and hope they stick around.
