The people taking our orders were also super sweet.

Funk in Public…read more Family-owned and operated local chain of restaurants and butcher shops that's been serving the Santa Barbara community for over fifty years (ca. 1973). This location is in Santa Barbara's "Funk Zone" district, which was formerly an industrial area that's turned into a wine and art district full of interesting places to gander. The Good: * Huge dog-friendly covered outdoor seating * Full lineup of their signature Shalhoob craft beers. They also have fermented grapes and liquor, if beer isn't your jam. * Service was friendly and welcoming. * Street Parking and City-owned lots, as well. The lots are your best bet, and they're free for a short while. * Prices are very reasonable for a BBQ place. * The Street Corn app might be the best thing we ate here as the corn was super fresh right off the cob, and the Chipotle aioli was superb. * BBQ Beans was more of a bean soup, but it was decent. * Mac & Cheese was also pretty good. Carrots enjoyed it more than I did, but I might've been grumpy from the shitty meats (more on that in a minute). The Meh: * Tritip was completely dry and tasted like it was cooked in the oven and then finished on the grill. But, I will say, at least it was edible unlike the ribs... The Ugly: * Maybe the worst ribs I've ever had. They were just completely hammered with salt and completely blew out my palate within two bites, which is a shame because they were tender and cooked well, but jfc, no amount of sauce or anything is going to save something this salty. Conclusion: Maybe we just caught them on a bad day because a place doesn't survive for over fifty years serving up meat like this. I'd be willing to give them another try someday, but I need my tongue to recover first.

Everything else was fine afterwards the drink lady came and was nice It was a bit too loud for what we wanted.

My husband and I are driving from San Diego up to Monterey and decided to break up the trip halfway…read morewith a visit to Montecito and Santa Barbara. My husband used a third-party to book this site like we usually do and have never had trouble. We arrived in Montecito a little early decided to get some lunch at the honor bar, which was excellent, and then check in. We ended up arriving exactly at 4 o'clock to check in and my husband was informed that because we booked it through a third-party site we would have to pay the tourism fee or something like that for $47 additional bringing the hotel room up to $400. And then we would also have to put a $200 hold on our card for incidentals, but the way it was handled was not necessarily unprofessional, but it was uncomfortable. We got everything worked out and started to head to our room on the second floor. The stairs are a little bit steep in rise probably because they are old. The hotel was built in the 20s I believe by Charlie Chaplin, which you wouldn't know about unless you did your own research. I didn't notice anything in the rooms or downstairs letting us know that. And that's actually something that I would have enjoyed seeing on the walls in the hotel rooms, some portraits of Charlie Chaplin maybe some movie stills? We decided to use the elevator which I think is original to the building of course with some safety upgrades. The room was somewhat small, reminding me of rooms in Italy. And it smelled really musty. Which I'm sure is normal for a building of that age. The hotel did not appear to be booked and so I was disappointed with the room that we received (see our photo of our view.) The bathroom was a tiny with a minuscule bookcase to place your items on. Again, I'm sure there is nothing they can do anything about because of the age of the building, I could not get the shower to fully work. The water came out halfway through the showerhead and halfway through the faucet. The water is very soft so it took forever to rinse my hair. Valet parking is included whether you want it or not. And there are five self parking spots. There are bicycles that I believe you can check out. I'm not sure if there's a fee for them. It seemed like they were offered for free, but I'm not really sure.

After hearing our situation, she didn't hesitate to provide all the information we needed and scheduled a time for us to view the venue the very next day.

We are truly grateful Durante uno de los momentos más difíciles de nuestras vidas, nos enfrentamos al reto de encontrar un lugar para una recepción, con muy poco tiempo, para celebrar la vida de nuestra querida madre. Muchos salones estaban completamente reservados o eran demasiado pequeños para nuestras necesidades. Afortunadamente, encontramos Queens Banquet Hall. Desde la primera llamada telefónica, fuimos recibidos con amabilidad y profesionalismo. Estela, quien nos atendió, fue increíblemente cálida y comprensiva. Al escuchar nuestra situación, no dudó en brindarnos toda la información necesaria y nos programó una cita para ver el lugar al día siguiente. Al ver el salón, supimos que era el lugar indicado. A pesar de tener solo una semana para organizar todo, Estela hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que todo estuviera listo y perfecto para el día del evento. Mostró empatía y dedicación durante todo el proceso, siempre asegurándose de que nuestra familia se sintiera apoyada y que la celebración transcurriera sin problemas. Queens Banquet Hall no solo nos ofreció un espacio hermoso, sino también un ambiente de paz y consuelo en un momento de gran tristeza. Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a Estela y a todo el equipo por ayudarnos a honrar la memoria de nuestra madre de una manera tan significativa y especial. Estamos profundamente agradecidos.
