Chilis Grill & Bar - (Near Goleta, CA)

Jessica Ward The service was radiant! The women who were working were sweet, charming, and mischievously funny. Their presence alone warrants return; they made hospitality feel like a homecoming, not a transaction. The food was great; very fresh and perfect portion sizes. My only criticism would be that my French toast, though tasty, was a bit under-saturated, the middle was untouched by batter denying it the custardy goodness the outer edges offered. The atmosphere was magical, alive with marine life. As we ate we watched the sea birds fish and caught a few glimpses of a lone sea lion weaving through the boats in the harbor.

Ericka Chilcott-Neal Love the food. Love the owners. Big portions. Great service. Beautiful atmosphere. Very attentive. Great coffee.

Cherrie Sevilla-Fontelera I ordered the crispy chicken salad and my husband ordered the 3 eggs and bacon combo. The food was great and our first waitress was great. It was a Saturday, so there were a good amount of people eating at the diner. The parking was kind of funky as the lot in front of the building was a bit small and we have to park in the back lot. Fortunately, there was a decent amount of lights to illuminate the parking lot. We both recommend coming here to eat. Wed visit again.

Julie Family recommended this steak restaurant and it did not disappoint. We had ordered the Rustler Rib Eye Steak & 2 “The Sheriff”and side of garlic fries. With a couple of cocktails, Lemon Drop & Paniolo Mai Tai. Salad with the choice of dressing and sour dough bread was served before. The rib eye steak had great flavor awhile we agreed the sirloin was neutral. Overall we enjoyed everything on the table.

Tony Poland First time eating monta. Its delicious! The people are all Wonderful too. I just wish it were closer to home! We will definitely go out of our way to return as often as possible.

Frank 8 Dec 2025: Lure had a miss tonight. Oysters were again good, cocktail could have been done better, but the Ciopinno was a big miss. Scallops were done nicely, but the rest seemed a bit dry. And the sauce was both lacking in typical volume, had no special flavor, and was very oversalted. So neither the chef nor sous chef tasted it. 4 Aug 2025 review: Always great. Luca at the bar very personable. Oysters were great. Ciopinno always great. Key lime pie fantastic (like tartness and less cheesecake like than others, and a nicely crumbling crust; a Luca recommendation). Will be coming back again.
