But there was nothing special about the way it was made and my gf couldn't even eat the brisket due to the consistency of it. I could taste the profit margins with each bite. The best summary of it - later in the day a friend asked "how was it?" and we kind of looked at each other with quiet disappointment. On the bright side, this may have been the catalyst I needed to actual try being a pescatarian.

A friend of my wife's recommended The Corner Tap. I remember noticing it years ago as I drove by…read moreand thinking, "We need to check this place out." Since we don't live in the neighborhood, it became an "out of sight, out of mind" situation. When my wife mentioned her friend's recommendation, we finally decided to give it a try. This visit was takeout, but after stepping inside, we're already looking forward to dining in. The dining room and patio felt warm, inviting, and welcoming--exactly the kind of place you want to spend an evening with friends and family. The NOTORIOUS P.I.E. was off the hook! Slam dunk. Three-pointer. Nothing but net! Without question, it's the best pizza I've had in Santa Barbara. As a chef from Chicago, I have very high pizza expectations. Let's start with the crust: a light, airy, chewy interior surrounded by a crispy, caramelized cheese crust that was perfectly executed. The pepperoni was crisp and slightly salty without being greasy. The house-made tomato sauce was restrained and unobtrusive--just enough to complement the mozzarella, white cheddar, and burrata without overpowering them. The only thing I would change is that it was a little heavy on the pickled chiles. But the pièce de résistance was the hot honey drizzle. It brought everything together and elevated an already outstanding pizza to another level. We also ordered a Caesar salad, but honestly, we couldn't stop eating the pizza long enough to give the salad the attention it deserved. The romaine appeared fresh and crisp, the dressing was thoughtfully packed on the side, and it looked well prepared. We'll definitely be back. If this pizza is any indication of what The Corner Tap is capable of, I can't wait to work my way through the rest of the menu--and next time, enjoy it from that welcoming patio with a cold drink in hand.

The staff was great, the food was pretty good. The menu has been expanded significantly!…read more The chop salad was very good though I think the onions overpower it but others would absolutely love all the onions. I will just forgo the onions next time. That said, the salad was exceptional! The Korean fried chicken wings do you need some attention. They were very mushy and to be honest, slimy--not crispy on the exterior and tender on the inside and the gochujang sauce should be switched out. It's a little off in its taste. I feel it should have more of a spicy-savory honey-sweet mouthwatering gochujang balance. Hint, go to Den Den Korean Fried Chicken in Providence, RI--though I need to remember this is a pub and not a Korean restaurant, ...there are better recipes out there that are worth testing out. I think the flavor and texture was off and can be improved on significantly. The pizza was pretty good--great for a pub and even better heated up the next day in a skillet with olive oil making the crust slightly crispy. There's ample outdoor and indoor seating with that perfect Corner Tap vibe. Also, noteworthy, inside the place it is absolutely spotless! We will return as it is a great place in a great location.

To start, the host was lacking any type of personality and SO MUCH GREEN ONION! The space was pretty cool, but seemed like that's the only thing it had going for it. *Krupuk with sambal and peanut sauce- Not sure where this krupuk came from, but not the same krupuk I grew up with. No deep fried shrimp flavor. Tasted like bland rice cakes dipped in garlic. The peanut sauce tasted like burned peanuts with kecap (pronounced kee-chup, not kee-kap). And the sambal, tasted like it was bought at a grocery store and watered down. *Chicken Satay - First mistake was ordering chicken satay when it should be named Sate Ayam. But considering there was no flavor to the chicken, I guess chicken satay fits. And using chicken breast with no seasoning, at least I didn't taste any, was the main mistake. *Nasi Goreng - One of the biggest and most known dishes of Indonesia, such a huge let down. Maybe I have too high of an expectation. But a huge lack of flavor and the rice texture was too mushy. Like it was not 1-2 day old rice like it's supposed to be. The giant chunks of onion was.... Well..... giant..... *Braised chicken - the perkedel kentang was a decent addition to the braised chicken. The coconut sauce was a good choice to add on to this dish. This dish is the only reason why it's not a 1 star review. Chicken was cooked near perfectly with a lot of flavor from the coconut sauce. The peanut sauce needs a lot of work, give the choice of white or dark meat for the satay, don't use so much green onion, make fresh sambal, use the right rice or fry it up at a higher heat, dice up those onions for god sake, use real krupuk or call it something else, teach the staff how to properly pronounce things, and FLAVOR FLAVOR FLAVOR. If this is supposed to be "Inspired" by a culture that is known for so much flavor, seems like y'all need more inspiration.

I love that they always reinvent the menu and the best part is their rooftop events. You can find the events on their website. From happy hour to brunch or lunch the food here will not disappoint. I especially enjoy their deviled eggs. Simple but delicious and I love that they're pink from being pickled. For cocktails I'm always down with O.P.P. a prickly pear hibiscus cocktail that hits every time. My latest visit brought me in for the Chef's Table Crawfish boil. This took stage on the rooftop of the Canary Hotel. Chef John Vasquez and team really outdid themselves by making this a memorable experience! We sat communal style and they rolled out the Louisiana style crawfish on the table. They were a beautiful reddish orange color and tasted just like the sea. It also came with potatoes, corn, artichoke, sausage and clarified butter for dipping. I do wish it was a little more seasoned, but I don't know if that's possible with the shell on. Nonetheless it still was delicious! Paired with some brews from Validation Ale and it was the perfect combination. The views, staff, vibes and people is what made the evening a memorable experience. Overall, a great restaurant to check out at the Canary Hotel.
