Yay my 100th review-
When you have vegetarian friends- Santa Barbara should be top of your list.
This neighborhood friendly restaurant had a vintage feel to it. Quite small but intimate. I tip-toed in for dinner with a friend. Being a non-veg, the food was enriched with good flavors and warmth like a home cooked meal.
I tried out several dishes- starting with some fritters (served as two pieces) with a side of hummus (was ok), perogies drizzled in a cream sauce, crushed almonds and carrots (Rich but amazing combination of flavours), and the main- a baked acornsquash with a tomato sauce (melts in your mouth with each bite). For dessert- Creme Brulee! was too full to finish it (good for individuals or to share). I believe the menu changes regularly-don't take my word for it. It is also good for original cocktails.
Be warned-the decor including many statues of Mary all over the walls seemed a bit creepy- straight of a horror movie scene!
