Jane

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 the upstairs mezzanine and balcony area for our big day. She was very responsive to emails, ensured out needs were met and made the whole process very seamless. She also provided us a recommendation for a local florist, Alicia, who did a fantastic job with the flower arrangements and tablet setup. The restaurant was perfect for hosting our small, intimate wedding reception. The food at Jane was very delicious and all of our guest had a great time dining at Jane. The service was excellent. The staff there was very accommodating and ensure all of our needs were fulfilled. We went with the $70 preset dinner menu with some minor alterations to a couple menu items. All the food came our cooked to perfection. They are also known for their coconut chiffon cake 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.

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 apple fritters, wedge salad. All were great. Soup was the best! Onion rings were flavorful but a bit oily. Main course across our group was veal, trout, fillet, burgers and lamb chop. Everything was excellent.. the trout and lamb chops were the favorites. Topped dinner with coconut chiffon cake which was a huuuuuge hit. All in all, two thumbs up!

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 chicken sandwiche. Highly recommended.

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’ve ever 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.

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 overdone but very attractive. Don't forget to try the signature coconut chiffon cake.

Not going to run this place down because they were very friendly and accommodating but just not a lot of boldness to the food here. If you like flavors that play it safe, this is the place for you. I had the goat cheese pancakes and goat cheese is very distinctive but I couldn't really taste it. Chicken curry was also middle of the road. The chutney had only the smallest of spice. My wife said the same thing about her Bolognese. Perhaps our palettes are not sensitive enough for the subtlety. Dessert was very good chocolate marquise cake with raspberry sauce for my wife. I had the espresso. Anyway not saying the food was poor in any way, but I like to be challenged a little more when I eat out.
