Our family of four visited for dinner on New Year's Day after a long hike. Typically we do not choose to dine in hotels, but we had eaten here once before and remembered it to be very good and we thought that a lot of restaurants might not be open on New Year's Day. And the hotel is a Kimpton which means "good cookin'" to us.We ordered at least six different small plates to be shared among us and truly everything was delicious. Great selection of beers and wines by the glass.Service was friendly and efficient. Recommended dining on Calle Real in Goleta.Hi Waterloonie,Thanks for taking the time to write such a glowing review. I'm truly happy that the Outpost team was able to be part of your family's holiday celebration. I hope that you'll consider joining us again next time you're in the area.

Great choice of beers and the bar staff were very friendly, service superb. Waiting staff in the sit down bit were un-interested and didnt even thank us for our 20% tip. Learn to smile a bit and look as if you are enjoying your job. Learn from your bar staff who were excellent.

Woody's has been around for a long time for good reason. They make some very good BBQ that is worth your attention. The room is classic BBQ joint. The walls are dripping with decoration and interesting touches that probably required years to collect. It's a fun environment. The service was above average. You order at a counter and they bring you the food. The counterman was extremely informative and helpful. He helped us pick out some tasty food. I had the chicken/ribs combo that was well prepared and flavorful. Give Woody's a try. We'll be back.

For some reason, chilis changed their menu and beer selections. We used to go there frequently, but no longer. Firestone beer is a local favorite, but the kegs are slightly more expensive, so we can only assume discontinuing it is some sort of bad management cost saving measure. They lost a couple of regular customers. Also the food menu changes are not good and frankly odd.

We got into Santa Barbara kind of late so pizza seemed like a good choice for dinner. Woodstock was kind of far from our hotel but once we made the decision to go we could not change our minds.At first we were going to order and bring back but you have to wait for the pizza anyway so we had two beers and each had a personal pan Farmers Market pizza. We chose whole wheat crust. The crust is yummy and NOT thin. But it is oh so good.Our pizza was good and though we may have been the oldest people in there ( very neat the USCB at Santa Barbara campus) nobody gave us a second thought. The perfect food to eat at 8 pm!Thanks for all the love Edie, we appreciate the wonderful review!
