Reviews for Jane in Santa Barbara, CA
I set up a surprise birthday party at the Jane Restaurant in Santa Barbara over the Memorial Day weekend. The event coordinator,... Meagan, provided great guidance with prompt answers about all the food and set up options. We had 21 people in a reserved room.The curtains to the room were pulled back just as we got to the top of the stairs, what a surprise! What can I say, it was tonsof fun! We chose one of the 3 course fixed meal options that had three main course choices and I received excellent comments onall the food. I was concerned about the service, since we were upstairs, but the staff did an excellent job, and I didn’tnotice any delays. Not being a big wine drinker, I had them recommend a good selection and they were all wonderful. Just a noteon alcohol – no hard liquor at the Jane. As it was Memorial Day Weekend finding a place was a bit of a chore. This is asmaller restaurant with excellent food and service . They solved a lot of my problems with good advice during a time when I washaving difficulty getting many restaurants to even return my calls. I don’t do many reviews, but this restaurant deserves allthe good words! Walking out I saw a very complimentary note to the owners from Julia Childs! If you are interested in a verynice dinner for a group of up to 20 people, this is the place to try! Read more

A Santa Barbara favorite! Family owned at both locations the food is absolutely wonderful. Mark and Margaret do a great job! The... chicken piccata was the best I've ever had, the service was impeccable, the inside environment is very tasteful, not overdonebut very attractive. Don't forget to try the signature coconut chiffon cake. Read more
My wife and I first dined at Jane back in Nov. 2021. We both loved the food and ambience so much that we ended up having our... wedding reception there last month (March 2022). We reached out to the event coordinator, Meagan, who helped us reserve theupstairs mezzanine and balcony area for our big day. She was very responsive to emails, ensured out needs were met and made thewhole process very seamless. She also provided us a recommendation for a local florist, Alicia, who did a fantastic job with theflower arrangements and tablet setup. The restaurant was perfect for hosting our small, intimate wedding reception. The food atJane was very delicious and all of our guest had a great time dining at Jane. The service was excellent. The staff there wasvery accommodating and ensure all of our needs were fulfilled. We went with the $70 preset dinner menu with some minoralterations to a couple menu items. All the food came our cooked to perfection. They are also known for their coconut chiffoncake and just so happened it was also our wedding cake...delicious!!! We highly recommend dining at Jane for their food,friendly staff, great service and ambience. Read more
This place is an absolute dream. I’ve never had anything I didn’t like, BUT you have to get the chicken piccata. I know... it’s often left out of consideration when going to a place like this, but what a mistake! It’s absolutely the best I’veever had, maybe the best chicken dish I’ve ever had. The service and wine are impeccable. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic.Can’t stop coming here and when I’m not at Jane, I’m dreaming of that piccata. Read more
Found this little gem, completely by luck. The restaurant does not disappoint! The ambiance inside looked great, though we chose... to sit outside. Our server was attentive and accommodating. We started with onion soup, onion rings, fried brie and applefritters, wedge salad. All were great. Soup was the best! Onion rings were flavorful but a bit oily. Main course across ourgroup was veal, trout, fillet, burgers and lamb chop. Everything was excellent.. the trout and lamb chops were thefavorites. Topped dinner with coconut chiffon cake which was a huuuuuge hit. All in all, two thumbs up! Read more
My favorite upscale restaurant in Santa Barbara. Nice atmosphere and beautiful food - both in taste and presentation. The staff... are really nice. We had a birthday last time there and they were kind enough to light up a candle on their infamous coconut cake(btw you should definitely try it out). Their appetisers are great as well as their mains like duck breast and chickensandwiche. Highly recommended. Read more
We had our rehearsal dinner at Jane in July after doing the typical 2020 reservation that was pushed back two years. The Jane... team was so easy to work with, so flexible with us all along the way, and the actual event was amazing. It’s a gorgeous venueand we reserved the top section for 27 people. It was so nice to have a private place where we could all get up and minglebetween courses. We stayed for over 3 hours and nobody made us feel like it was time to leave. The steaks were delicious and wehad a large variety of wine to pick from, We’re looking forward to celebrating many future events with Jane. Read more
