What a great place for a light lunch. It felt like one of those places you would just keep revisiting and having lunch with friends. High quality ingredients not overly seasoned, flavors worked well together. Overall great experience.

My partner and I love eating at Jane’s! Their food is always so delicious, and the atmosphere feels so romantic! I went there with my whole family last night. We sat in the covered patio. It was really beautiful. The food was amazing! I got the filet mignon, and it was really good. It gave me diarrhea though but I don’t care! I will keep coming back every time I’m in town! The calamari was the best calamari I’ve ever tasted! Super crunchy and delicious. I definitely recommend this place! Especially if you’re looking for a date night spot:)

Great restaurant and bar. One of the best bar tenders with unique cocktails 👌 we had drinks and then moved to patio to have dinner. Great dinner and service. Loved it. They have live music on Tuesday nights.

If I’m ever in Santa Barbara again. I’m coming here. No questions. Our server (bartender) was a great guy… not only was the service great, but he was just fun to hang out with! 3 of us guys came here from out of town for work and just finished a long week of working, this was a very pleasant way to end the trip! I had the fillet minion with the mushroom sauce 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 amazing haha! Steak was cooked perfectly (the way I ordered, black and blue), the mushroom sauce was probably the best part haha. Not that a steak like that even needs anything, but it definitely leveled it up! We got to meet the manager, she’s sweet, she really cares about this place and the people that come in! Great food. Great people. Let’s do it again soon!

This was such a fantastic dinner! From fast, friendly service to delicious food and scrumptious cocktails! We enjoyed our appetizers so much I forgot to take pictures until we were digging into it! We had fried calamari, panseared scallops with tomato, basil, and pesto, and the artichoke with a lemon garlic aoli. Then we ordered the swordfish special (which was by far the BEST DISH!). We also ordered the veal marsala, the chicken picatta and the linguine and classic dish. It was very delicious food. My veal marsala was a little salty but I was able to balance it out with the side of pasta and seasonal vegetables. Since I was pregnant I also ordered virgin cocktails of the ones they had listed. And OH MY!!! They were so flavorful! Ita because they have house made syrup so any of the cocktails on the menu, they could make it non-alcoholic! The mayan margarita was the best because it was spicy, and tangy with pineapple juice and it was just everything I wanted. The passion fruit mocktail was also really fresh! Then we had dessert, which was the coconut chiffon cake with creme anglaise and the creme brulee which is the BEST creme brulee o have ever had in my life, I thing because it was warm and the sugar on top was perfectly caramelized (it must have been baked in the oven and not torched). It was a great evening with phenomenal food and drinks!!!

Jane has great food with good presentation and flavor along with a lively yet relaxing atmosphere. They have a wonderful cocktail and drink menu. The staff is very pleasant, always there to greet you with a smile and do the most they can to make for a happy tasteful experience. Recommend for any occasion.

Always a delight! Went last minute after driving all day, seated at the bar with Thiago and had a amazing meal and beautiful drinks. I have nightshade allergies and I was still able to get the Salmon on ceder with tons of flavor! Thank you for always taking care of us!

Jane's is an exquisite small restuarant in Goleta tucked in amoung the fast food and noisy full service restaurants. The atmosphere is quiet and warm with soft music allowing conversion. The service is excellent with knowledgeable, friendly wait staff. The food is top notch. We tried the grilled artichokes which came served with a tasty dipping sauce. Very good. The red onion rings fantastic. The shrimp pizza with avocado and tomatillo was wonderful. The fresh swordfish sandwich delightful. Don't forget dessert. The coconut cake was light and airy with a tree Leche sauce. Cote de creme in chocolate one of the best I have tasted. Plenty of parking. There is a personal recommendation from Julia Child at the entrance. This is a don't miss, highly recommended.

What a wonderful place to come for lunch & dinner. The atmosphere is relaxing and the owner, Margaret is so kind. Really, all the staff are very nice. I love the food, they work hard to get the best ingredients. And it shows in the taste. I had the Linguine with clams and coconut cake. So tasty!

Had a great experience at Jane. One of my favorite parts was the cocktails, Tiago makes excellent drinks. The appetizers were perfect for sharing, which made the meal feel fun and social, and dinner was just as good. Everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning.

Family dinner at Jane’s. Two people had the grilled filet and loved it and the mushroom sauce. The other two had the chicken piccata and it was also quite delicious. In fact, the best chicken piccata I’ve ever had and it is my go-to for many restaurants so I’ve had it quite a bit! The sauce was perfect - light, lemony and creamy with the perfect amount of capers. If you’re in the Santa Barbara area, have one of your meals at Jane At the Marketplace.

It was an overall good experience. I was really surprised by one of their daily specials, which included Hawaiian Swordfish with a sauce and crispy leeks. It was absolutely delicious and I am not a huge fan of fish. All other food items were fine, but not extraordinary. I thought the coconut shrimp were a little bit tough. The pecan pie was good, but not significantly better than store bought. The 'islander' drink had a strong dark rum flavor. The service was great, with very polite and helpful waiters/waitresses.

We dined here on a Saturday evening. Good menu and lively ambiance, our dining experience was good but not a wow moment. Service lacked a bit because they had a big party, of around 20, and it seems most of the servers were helping out, hence ours suffered a bit. The starting bread basket was fresh. My main course, pizza, cant remember the name, was good and well prepared. My dessert, was good. There are so many good places in the Goleta/Santa Bárbara área that not sure if I will patronize this establishment again.

This upscale casual eatery offers good food and friendly service. They're a bit pricy, but not crazy expensive. When we arrived for this meal the table wasn't set up for service, and we had to ask for silverware, salt and pepper, and such. We ordered onion rings with balsamic for an appetizer and they were very good. Red onions with a great batter and a good blend of flavors. They did need some salt, but were otherwise a good choice. She had the Margherita pizza and it was perfectly baked with fresh ingredients. Again, it needed some salt but was otherwise well done. I went with the penne and was quite happy. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was homemade and delicious.

This local place is close and has a wide variety of choices in the menu. I've been here a few times. Delicious drinks! Food is good but not amazing. Last time i was here...Cedar plank Salmon was delicious. Potatos and veggies were a little bland. Creme brulee seemed like it was broiled instead of torched as the entire dish was VERY hot. Atmosphere is very nice and service is always notch.

Good food, great atompsphere and service. Everything was tasty and delicious, tried the Apple fritters appetizer, duck entree and chicken sandwich, and coconut chiffon for dessert. A bit on the pricier side, but the food and service lived up to it. Will return, most likely for a special occasion.

Good bread but they only bring you a single pat of butter for 4 slices of sourdough. Each time we asked for more butter they brought one more pat. Very high price per calorie. Calamari appetizer was rubbery and coated with a batter that would not stay on.. so you ended up eating just the naked calamari. $30 salad had 3 small shrimp and 3 small slices of Ahi tuna and a big pile of unchopped greens.

Got seated quickly after arrival, however, despite trying to make eye contact with staff, and people cleaning up dishes around me for solid 10-15 minutes, I didn’t even get a water nor anyone came by to take my order. Hence literally walked up to the font desk and asked whether there is any chance I can place an order.. not a great start but gets worse. Buckle up. The complimentary bread was not only cold and tasted stale, I highly doubt it actually was from a “nearby bakery” unless the Target across the street counts. I can only hope it was made within 3-5 business days of my visit. Ordered the duck special for my main course - which came out not-that-special and instead pretty raw. Some bits were cooked ok, but most of the parts that were at least reasonably safe to eat were often un-chewable and tougher than David Goggins himself, resulting in a frequent use of the napkin to discard the matter. Personally, I found the kumquat sauce too sweet, but this could be just personal preference. The sides of beets and potatoes were decent and edible. Still starving and trying to end this train wreck on a somewhat positive note the flourless, but very rich chocolate cake, dryer than Sahara desert and denser than depleted uranium was arguably the better part of this meal and hopefully provided enough caloric intake, but was far from a highlight. Interestingly, no water was served since the first glass (that came ~20 min in) and therefore upon departure I had to go ask the bartender if I could possibly have a glass of water - which I did get. Yay! Overall with the slow/non-existent service, undercooked/raw duck, and an astounding $35.55 entree price I wouldn’t call this even remotely worth it. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
