Our stay at Circle Bar B Guest Ranch was truly breathtaking…read more The views alone are unforgettable, but Cabin 12 was absolutely perfect--beautiful, spotless, and so peaceful. And the mattress... wow. It took everything in me to get out of that bed! It felt like it just embraced you, and waking up to those top window views made it even harder to leave. The food was incredible--both breakfast and dinner were beyond amazing. Enrique, Rafael, and the entire team (I wish I could remember every name!) made us feel so special. The level of care, attention to detail, and overall service was easily 1000 out of 100. Kat, thank you for everything--you truly made our stay unforgettable. The stables were just as impressive. Jack and all the handlers were not only knowledgeable about the ranch's history, but you can clearly see the love and care they have for the horses--it meant so much to witness that. I'm a little timid around horses, but Russell made the experience so comfortable and special for me. He paired me with Tator Tot, and I can't even describe the connection--he could sense when I was nervous and responded so gently. It was such a beautiful, unforgettable moment. My husband rode Big Elvis, and let's just say... the name fits perfectly--what a character! This ranch is truly one of a kind. An unforgettable experience from beginning to end. We will absolutely be back--this is now our home away from home.

Stayed here for our honeymoon and we couldn't have picked a better place. From the minute we got on…read morethe ranch and we were greeted by Rafael to check in. He gave us welcome drinks along with a tour of the property. There's a game room with a pool table, plenty of outdoor seating areas, a full bar in the lobby, outdoor pool area with lounge chairs and hot tub. Amazing amenities!! We stayed in a canyon cabin, highly recommend, plenty of space, no shared walls, has a great porch with seating to enjoy the views. Breakfast and dinner is included in the stay, we loved every meal. It's exactly what you'd think you'd get on a ranch, chicken ribs grits greens for dinner and eggs sausage bacon pancakes fruit for breakfast. They even reserve a table for you throughout your stay, a lovely touch! We also booked a horse ride during our stay, we did the earliest ride to avoid the heat. 10/10 must do, my first time on a horse and they made me feel very comfortable. We loved every second of the ride. Thanks Bobby! The very least to say, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the years to come! Thank you to everyone at the Ranch

We had recently gotten engaged and somehow most of the staff found out and left us such memorable gift bags, room decorations, hand written notes, and even comped our bar bill. That level of detail was amazing since we didn't tell any of them the news, but staff across security, valet, bartenders, and house keeping all kept congratulating us. As for the room - it was incredible. We booked the Ocean View Suite with balcony and we loved being able to sit on our balcony to watch the waves/sunset. The club lounge was also amazing (highly recommend adding). We stopped by there before our dinner in the town to grab a drink, but we were shocked at how good their food options looked (we ended up snacking on some). We both love visiting Santa Barbara and we will definitely be back here!

We spent 4 nights at El Capitan creekside double cabin#246. Cannot compare to hotel room but it…read moreis much comfortable than wild camping in a tent. I love having a market inside the camp. You literally can just pack clothes and come to camp. The market has bbq kits which include meal, salad, drinks, s'mores kit, firewoods, fire starters and matches, cooking utensils, napkins, cutlery, chef knife, and paper plates etc, I would recommend bringing aluminum foils. There are of course supermarkets in the city where you can get food to cook that are more economical. The surroundings are zen. We got the cabin next to the creek and fall asleep to frog ribbits and woke up to birds chirping. There are bikes free to use. Hiking trails. a llama and goat farm in the premise. Swimming pool. We also walked to a nearby beach. Very relaxing. One thing to note is that glamping is still pretty much wild camping minus the tent and bathroom is conveniently in the cabin. Blinds in the cabin are chipped and can be seen through the gap so be aware. Overall, everyone enjoyed the trip and teens requests we come again. Absolutely a fun little getaway.

100% agree with one of the other reviewers on here that this isn't really glamping. I felt like…read morewhat you see in the pictures were super misleading for our group because the amenities didn't really meet our expectations inside the cabin. More like an adventure camp that is great if you want something super low key for kids. I came here with a bachelorette group and stayed in one of the cabins that could sleep up to 6. The bathroom was super tiny inside the cabin and didn't really make the most sense for the amount of people living in it. Like not enough towels or cups without having to request from the front desk, which wasn't even open 24/7 either. And the amenities were quite old and not refreshed or well maintained in the cabin. It was surprising to me that they didn't really have true housekeeping either. Like we had to call the staff in order to do the bare minimum of taking the trash out and they didn't do much to clean the bathrooms. The kitchenette does not come with any eating or cooking utensils either, so you need to bring your own. Only real pro are the activities and proximity of the location to everything else in the area. But I would not consider this place if you want something upscale.

I was pleased to see that happy hour was still being offered despite the holiday. The menu offers a nice selection of bites and discounted drinks at great prices! For food, we ordered the carne asada flatbread, onion rings, garlic herb fries, and chicken wings. All of which were enjoyable! Although, I will mention that the carne asada had a slightly funny taste that wasn't very pleasing. It was tolerable, but could have been better. Despite that, the food was delicious. We also ordered the white chocolate & raspberry cheesecake. The cheesecake comes from the Cheesecake Factory! So, you know it's going to be good and it was. The presentation was beautiful as well. For drinks, I had the Prickly Pear margarita and Paloma. Both were well made and refreshing to drink. I love the rooftop vibes here! The layout is great and the views are amazing. More like Mountain View's, but still nice to be up high with sky views. There's also a restroom available, so you don't have to go downstairs. Our waitress Caitlyn was such a sweetheart throughout our visit. She had great recommendations and consistently checked on us. The music was great and it was good vibes all around!

Jane's is my favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara my friends and I have been coming here over a…read moredecade. I always order their burgers or sandwiches with fries and their coconut cake. The best thing about this restaurant is their fries! I never had fries quite like there fries. Their fries are so crispy and is one of the main reasons why we come here. I would usually rate this restaurant 5 stars but after this recent visit I am giving 4 stars. They raised their prices and were extremely disappointed they cut the fries portion in half. Especially since this was one of the best things about this restaurant. I have attached a photo of eating here at Jane's and Aug 2025 and coming back 4 months later to be severed fries that is half the size. They now put the fries in a fry container to make it seem like it's more fries but once you put it on the plate it's such a small amount of fries. The second reason why we come here is for the coconut cake. The cake is always moist never dry when we order the cake however sometimes it can be a hit or miss with how much cake you will actually get. Because sometimes if you order the cake you will get a slice that has more cream and frosting and not as much of a cake layer. Not to mention they raised the price to $14 for a single slice of cake?! Which is so expensive. $14 is almost like ordering half a cake. I really hope that Jane's Restaurant can consider making these changes because their fries and coconut cake is what makes this restaurant amazing Service -Staff is always friendly Note: -They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating -They are in the same plaza that has a few stores and other restaurants close by

They're very familiar with the venues in the area. They worked well based on the budget we had. Alex and his team also went to the venue for a site visit where we discovered a huge echo in the venue. They were creative and worked on ways to fix it. They also made sure our video wall wouldn't have a glare and we would have shading for when the sun hit directly on the greenhouse. Alex was also great as we had a bunch of performers who needed additional A/V support. He reached out to them and knew exactly what they needed. The team spent hours and hours setting up. It really was a huge production. On the day of, everything was great! The wifi went smoothly and the on-site techs were helpful. One thing to note is that our event was not completely waterproof so when it rained between day 1 and 2, SPARK had to make a few adjustments as some outlets weren't functioning and there was water on some things. They did so quickly before guests arrived. The before & after pictures don't even show all the work put into this! Alex and his team should have been hired for Fyre Fest because they are amazing with producing great events no matter what difficulties there are.
