Opal - (Near Santa Barbara, CA)

C. Ray Was our first time here. The staff made us feel like we had been coming for years. Excellent breakfast, generous portions. One of the best chicken fried steaks my wife said she had ever had. Highly recommend.

Mike Nadeau Really nice breakfast and lunch diner with delicious waffles and great customer service! Our waitress was very nice and friendly. I had a waffle, bacon, and eggs. Reasonable prices too.

Chris C House of tacos has 10/10 quesabirria tacos, 10/10 grilled shrimp tacos, and 10/10 grilled fish tacos all under one roof. All the food is fresh and they aren’t stingy with the salsa.

Pang Whit (Ahbbney) You’re missing it big time if you’re traveling to the area but not trying this place out. Exemplify how farm-to-table is not just a gimmick but what the future of food should look like - equitable, respectful, beautiful. The tasting menu is full of delicious surprises so I won’t spoil you with details. It’s also seasonal so expect something different from our experience as well!

Richard LaFace 6AUG25: on the way to Sierra Lodge and the Sequoia National Park. What a gem for California comfort food! Octavio provided excellent service and our spirit guide through the extensive menu

Heather Ellison Ventura’s best kept secret! We live in the neighborhood and love the food here. We get it for takeout often to eat at home with the kids and the food is always perfectly cooked and seasoned. I get the chicken limon and it is delicious, it tastes like a home cooked meal. My husband loves the lasagna, the calamari is so good & the kids love the pizza. So spasso is always a win for us!
