Bongo Johnnys Patio Bar & Grill - (Near Palm Springs, CA)

Sarah Kitchen & Vine is a delightful spot that exceeded all my expectations! The dishes burst with flavor and freshness, and the cozy, inviting atmosphere makes it such a charming place to dine. The chilaquiles were packed with savory goodness, the lemon poppyseed waffles were perfectly balanced, and the avo toast—huge and absolutely divine—is a must-try. You can’t come here without trying the almond croissant warmed up, yum yum yum!!The hibiscus tea with a touch of lemonade was the perfect refreshing sweet treat. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Jay S. I had the most wonderful dinner at Orchestria Palm Court last night! This place is a true gem. The first thing you notice is the ambiance. Its filled with fascinating, eclectic vintage decorations that create a truly unique and special feeling. I loved exploring all the details, from the vintage player pianos to the special lighting. You can tell the owners poured so much hard work and love into creating such a welcoming space. The owners and staff were just as fantastic. They were incredibly friendly and seemed genuinely happy to answer all of our questions about the restaurants many interesting pieces. Their passion for the space really added to the experience. And the food was absolutely delicious! We really appreciated every course. The warm bread was a perfect start, the French onion soup was rich and flavorful, and the chicken saltimbocca was fantastic. I will definitely be back. There were so many other items on the menu that I was tempted to order, so Im already looking forward to my next visit to try them. Highly recommended!

Nilesh Kumud My recent visit to Pangaea Grill on Ocean Avenue in Carmel was an absolute delight. The ambiance is beautiful, with tasteful music that sets the perfect mood for a relaxing meal. I started with the crab cakes appetizer, which was packed with flavor and paired beautifully with their signature sauce. For my main course, I chose the sand dab—lightly breaded and pan-fried to perfection, accompanied by fresh, seasonal vegetables that showcased the kitchen’s attention to quality and detail. A special shoutout to our server, Johnnie, whose pleasant, professional manner truly elevated our evening. Johnnie’s attentive service and warm personality made the experience more enjoyable from start to finish. The she makes you feel valued and welcome, creating a genuinely inviting atmosphere. Pangaea Grill is a gem in Carmel, perfectly blending great food, warm hospitality, and wonderful ambiance. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in town.

Samantha Cox This place is such a vibe, the backyard is beautifully decorated with quirky statues. It’s worth it to check it out. The food is average tho, the refried beans are too salty, but the price was reasonable.

Shelly This is a sneaky gem that will surprise your taste buds. The food was so good that I failed to take pictures before I ate. The food was really good and the Chow Fun was amazing! The customer service was really good. The only negative is that they offer soda in a can, so "refills" can get expensive. I definitely would recommend this restaurant and will be coming back with the hubs. I found my new favorite Chinese food restaurant.

Zach V One of the best Chinese spots in Santa Barbara! The food is amazing (the scallion pancakes are a must have for appetizer) but their entrees are amazing. Have been there several times and it’s never disappointed. The service is phenomenal the older gentleman at the front is exceptionally kind. The atmosphere is a great hole in the wall feeling. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Chinese spot to chow down. 10/10!
