Goat Tree

Overall rating: 4.1 Visiting from NYC I visited about 7 years ago obsessed with this place. Quality has decreased significantly, a tad disappointing. The hostess did NOT like me. For no reason. I felt stared out when I asked for a table. Mind you, there were tons of places and she chose the worst spot. I don’t know how to describe it but it felt uncomfortable. The buses and supporting staff was really nice, just not the main ones. The quality of the food was okay. Missing the freshness of California. Doubt I’d come back again.

Great breakfast and excellent service! We stopped by Goat Tree for breakfast and had a lovely meal. We ordered the breakfast croissant and the smoked salmon toast—both were fresh and delicious. Our server, Juan, was fantastic; he was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended! ...and dog friendly!

Disgusting service. We are a group of four looking for a place to eat breakfast in the town and to our displeasure we ended up stopping at the Goat Tree. The horror show started from the second we were getting seated. We waited at the seating desk where the host normally seats us but nobody came up, we had to walk up to one of the servers and ask for them to seat us. Once being seated our waiter dissapeared, we were brought water at one point, no one came up to us to take our order, no one checked in on us. It’s like we were ghosts and not there. After waiting for 30 YES THIRTY minutes we realized they forgot about us and weren’t gonna serve us. This is a extremely rare occurance where a server forgets about the customer and has maybe happened to me once in my many years of traveling. we were literally sitting there, in the blazing hot sun waiting for our server to come even talk to us or take our order. When were leaving and went to have a quick word with the group of waiter(s) at the podium (which were just standing there and chatting by the way) they just shrugged their shoulders and rolled their eyes and were acting all confused like they had no part in this I guess you don’t need any customers so that you can be this CARELESS!!!! Avoid this place like the plague!! Baffling, horrific service Who even runs this place??? The staff have a serious disciplinary problem Maybe the WORST service i have ever had the horror to come up on

Came to Santa Barbara for our one year wedding anniversary and the hotel that we stayed at had this restaurant for room service. Food is great! Decided to eat at the actual restaurant the following day and the food was consistently delicious. The shakshuka was flavorful and they were able to make the eggs scrambled for me since I dont eat it poached. Customer service is wonderful and the ambience is soothing for an early morning. Their small baked goods section is also scrumptious. Definitely recommend

Love that they are so dog friendly here! We just stopped in for cocktails with our pup and we had a lovely time. I can’t comment on the food but the food I saw coming out of the kitchen looked yummy. Example. The ladies sitting near me split a burger that looked great! The kitchen also split it for them in advance which is always a nice touch. The hostess was extremely friendly and attentive as well. We will happily return for drinks and hopefully food next time :)
