Jane

What a wonderful experience from initial reach out to dining experience! We celebrated a 50 year anniversary for my parents and couldn't have picked a better venue. The private table, staff, and food was top notch. Highly recommended!!

Yes all around from me! Super popular spot so make sure to reserve a spot / seats. Wonderful server made our experience amazing. Food was delicious. We sat upstairs overlooking the busy street. Wine is yummy. Parking is on the street.

Okay, so I have no idea how much this place costs, I was there as a part of a wedding party. All I know is, food was delicious, service was awesome, and the atmosphere was very good. Also, the potatoes that were served with every meal…. SO GOOD.

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 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.

We are so glad we held our small wedding reception here! Just a short walk away from the courthouse, this restaurant has a charming interior and delicious food. We reserved the private room, which is on the second story (loft style) and has its own bathroom. It was the perfect setting, and we felt like we had our own private venue even with the restaurant downstairs adding just the perfect amount of ambiance. Everyone at Jane was so helpful and accommodating, from helping with vegan options to setting up the cake, and were incredibly patient with us and all of our guests. Not to mention, the food is AMAZING! Delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend this place to anyone doing a micro wedding at the courthouse!

We hosted a celebration lunch at Jane following our civil ceremony at the Santa Barbara courthouse, and everything was absolutely perfect. We reserved one of the mezzanines for 11 people, and the setup, atmosphere, food, and service exceeded our expectations. A huge thank-you to Meagan for helping us plan the event, Jane for making last-minute adjustments and ensuring everything ran seamlessly on the day, and Alicia for the stunning floral arrangements. We couldn't be happier. They even wrapped the flowers beautifully so we could take them home afterward. In terms of the food, all the preset lunch menus were awesome, and the GRILLED FLAT BREAD as an appetizer platter was a hit. Since most of our guests do not drink, we had DEALCOHOLIZED ROSE as a welcoming drink, and everyone loved it. Thank you again for making such a special day unforgettable.

We had the most romantic, magical and amazing wedding celebration dinner❤️ Thank you Jane for make our special night. The flowers were perfect, the food was delicious, the service was great, the wine was amazing and we can’t wait to come back for our anniversary. The Laymances

Came to Santa Barbara from Mexico City and honestly, everything hit. The clam pasta in white wine sauce was wow, and the lamb ribs with salad were delicious — especially the fries that came with them. And last but not least, the coconut cake… I’m not kidding, I returned several times just for that.

We had great time here. The service was great and the food was excellent. We enjoyed every dish we ordered including the nonalcoholic drink. Highly recommend this place! We made 5pm reservation during weekday. No wait time for us at all.

Solid service by the end of the meal, although it started a bit cold. Amazing food overall. Chicken Milanese is one of the best I’ve had in a while. One downside: was quite underwhelmed with the famous coconut cake - it was dry and OVERLY sweet (coming from someone with a very big sweet tooth.)

My wife and I came down to Santa Barbara to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find a quaint place to have dinner & finally arrived at "Jane". This restaurant, named after the founding "grandma" and passed down through generations, did not disappoint. Seriously, just go, you will be amazed & love it! Ambiance: When we arrived, they let us choose where to sit. We opted to sit in the second floor balcony at the front of the restaurant. It was so quaint and fun. We could see the street and it was relatively quiet with a table next to the window. The decor around the restaurant is full of artwork and keepsakes that our waitress told us were from all of Grandma Jane's travels around the world. Such a unique view of her life experiences. Food: Okay, we loved it. It was nearly perfect! My wife got the chicken piccata. She frequently gets this when she goes out to eat & she said this is the best she's ever had. It was the perfect level of crisp on the outside with amazing flavor throughout. Paired with scalloped potatoes, this was the perfect blend of flavors and the perfect portion size. The night before she had gotten chicken piccata at another Italian restaurant in SB & this one blew it out of the water. If you like chicken piccata, guaranteed you will love this! I got the Halibut. I was vacillating between salmon and halibut, so I asked our waitress for her opinion--there was no hesitation, she said to get the halibut. I was not 100% sure I would like the orange sauce on it, or the pistachio crust. She assured me it was great. She was not at all wrong. I have traveled around the world and gotten lots of different fish dishes at all sorts of restaurants (from hole in the wall to 5-star). This was among the best, if not the best. The fish was perfectly cooked, the unique flavor mix of orange and strawberry left me wishing I did not finish. Again, the pairing with scalloped potatoes was amazing. To find out that most of the ingredients were locally sourced was also very cool--that would explain the fresh taste throughout. We closed out the evening with dessert (of course). My wife got the chocolate dessert and I got the lemon dessert (don't recall the actual names). Both of them were a good portion and the flavors were again amazing. My wife is a chocolate connoisseur and absolutely loved the rich dark chocolate flavors. I love lemon and appreciated the mix of lemon and berry mixed together. All in, this was an amazing dinner and a great way to celebrate our anniversary. Our waitress was very attentive and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend this as your first choice to eat in SB.

We wanted something small and intimate for our wedding reception. JANE was able to accommodate my party of 20. Booking was easy and not stressful at all. Once we got there everything turned out perfect. Our server was so kind and patient and I really appreciate his service. The food was amazing. I’m so happy everyone finished their food. I think we were able to accommodate everyone’s taste. We also ordered their famous coconut cake which was also delicious. The best part was that we got a section of the upstairs area all to ourselves away from the rest of the customers. Loved that we had our own restrooms. This was nice because that way the kids in our party didn’t bother the rest of the guest at the restaurant. Overall I would recommend Jane to anyone looking for an intimate dinner for your special occasion. -One happy bride and groom

Highly recommend having a private event at Jane. We had our wedding reception dinner here and was overjoyed with the atmosphere, food and service (shout out to Haley and Michael our servers for the night who were amazing and very attentive). Meagan the Private events coordinator was outstanding and incredibly communicative; answering all my questions and providing all info I needed in such a timely manner. My husband and our families were delighted, our dinner and desserts were absolutely delicious! It was such a wonderful place to conclude our special day. I have been recommending Jane to my friends and coworkers. We can't wait to come back for our anniversary in the coming years.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable 40th Birthday at Jane – Perfection from Start to Finish! I recently hosted my 40th birthday celebration at Jane Restaurant and Event Rental Space with 35 of my closest friends and family, and I can honestly say it was one of the best events I've ever thrown, and I’ve planned quite a few over the years! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, stylish, and inviting, the perfect blend of upscale and comfortable. The space is beautifully designed, and the staff made everything feel effortless. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and I never once had to stress about anything during the event. They were professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. They even had a delicious mocktail for me since I am expecting. Now let’s talk about the food — WOW. Every single dish was out-of-this-world delicious. Our guests are still raving about the flavors, presentation and how perfect everything was for serving so many people at the same time. From appetizers to desserts, everything was absolutely top-tier. What truly sets Jane apart is the unbeatable value. The quality of the service, ambiance, and food far exceeded expectations for the price. It’s rare to find a venue that checks all the boxes, and then some, but Jane nailed it. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, a corporate event, or anything in between, do yourself a favor and book Chase. It was a 5-star experience in every possible way, and I can’t wait for the next excuse to come back!

We hosted our 40 person wedding dinner here and it couldn’t of gone better! The food was phenomenal and Meagan the event coordinator was extremely helpful and communicative. We got everything we wanted! And Alicia the florist was truly the sweetest and made the room look so gorgeous and special. We absolutely loved it! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about the food and the cake and the intimate space ::)

We held my brother's wedding rehearsal here and it was amazing! Their balcony section gave us the perfect amount of privacy with enough space for speeches and vows. The food was excellent and very easy to coordinate for an event of 33 people.

My wife and I had been wanting to try Jane for quite some time, and we finally made it in yesterday. What a wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in and were welcomed, straight through dinner and until we left, everything was outstanding. Our server, Tatum, was an absolute delight — attentive, friendly, and professional. Our meals (both filet mignon) were cooked exactly as ordered…mine medium rare and my wife’s well done. Both were excellent. We will definitely be returning soon. Highly recommend — 100%.

We had a wonderful 80th Birthday party for my husband at Jane in Santa Barbara last week. The tables and flowers were beautiful and all of our guests raved about the food. We chose Jane for our party because in all the years we have been a patron, we have never been disappointed with a meal. Even serving 18 people in our party as well as a full restaurant the food was prepared perfectly and the service was excellent. Planning the party was easy with Jane's party planner. She was clear about the details, cost and arrangements. I highly recommend Jane in Santa Barbara for your next meal and or event. Thank you all, Jeri

One of the most beautiful restaurants in town. Walking in is like entering a European home. The staff are all friendly, making for a wonderful dining experience. For lunch I had the Jane Burger and could tell the ingredients was very high quality. And I always go for the coconut cake, it's so tasty!

We had our rehearsal dinner at Jane and it was fabulous. The service was great, the staff was on top of details. The food is something my guests are still talking about. There is nothing I would not recommend. Working with Megan was great and she always answered my emails and questions quickly. The florist they recommended created the most beautiful arrangements! Thank you for making a special welcoming dinner for my out of town guests.

What a wonderful dining experience in a very cozy and quaint SB location. We were greeted right away and offered to find a seat of our choice. The room and other guests were very pleasant, music playing soft enough to hear but not loud enough to impede dinner conversation. The staff was very polite and friendly offering the specials of the evening. Eee started with great tasting “Red Rings” which were lightly coated onion rings and a very tasty ranch sauce. Our dinner or Pork Chops, scalloped potatoes and seasonal vegetables. All very delicious and extremely flavorful. With a glass of of Merlot and Shiraz, this meal was made for perfection in our dining experience. This was topped off with a great cup of freshly made coffee and wonderful cheesecake with a home made raspberry sauce. Definitely planning to return for the well touted Chicken Piccata and Filet and more. Agreeably, we have found a great dining spot in SB that gives you a meal, great company and soothing atmosphere which the best in SB area. Stop by you will not regret it and in fact refer it to your family and friends. Ask about the “Jane” story and you will appreciate the restaurant even more so.
