We hosted our 40 person wedding dinner here and it couldn’t of gone better! The food was phenomenal and Meagan the event coordinator was extremely helpful and communicative. We got everything we wanted! And Alicia the florist was truly the sweetest and made the room look so gorgeous and special. We absolutely loved it! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about the food and the cake and the intimate space ::)

This is my fav restaurant in the entire world. Full stop. The chicken piccata is simply amazing. The coconut chiffon cake is wonderful. Anytime I’m remotely close to Santa Barbara I’ll go out of my way to stop by Jane.

That might have been the best Chicken Picatta I have ever had and I have had a lot of it! Right by the Arlington Theater so we got to eat here before the Peter Frampton show! Great night all around!

Visited Jane on a day trip with my beautiful wife. Located in Santa Barbara’s main thoroughfare, this is a place worth the visit. We came on a weekday when they open at 5. We asked to be seated on the Juliette balcony overlooking the street and other restaurants. There are three tables on the narrow balcony setup for couples. Ambiance is great with music playing and candles on table. They have gas heaters they can turn on when it gets chilly. We had the filet mignon, chicken piccata, and Calamari. Total bill was 85 dollars and we had plenty of leftovers. It can get quite busy here we’re told. Definitely coming back again to try some of their other items on the menu.

Food and service were great. Our party of ten was late and the staff and our waitress were all gracious as we straggled in. The cheese platter we ordered was incredible with really delicious and perfectly ripe blackberries, honey dew melon and strawberries included with the cheese. We will be back!

We had a large family dinner here the weekend of our wedding and had the best time! We were able to rent the upstairs for up to 40 people for a very reasonable price and were given great options for entrees that satisfied everyone. We had a private restroom close by which was so convenient. Our food was delicious and our servers were incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. We were sooo happy we chose Jane for this special night and it’s definitely one we’ll never forget. ☺️

The service was amazing, and the food was really delicious. We truly liked this place, my favorite dish was the lamb chops, but my wife really loved the duck. We will come back for sure!

My wife and I first dined at Jane back in Nov. 2021. We both loved the food and ambience so much that we ended up having our wedding reception there last month (March 2022). We reached out to the event coordinator, Meagan, who helped us reserve the upstairs mezzanine and balcony area for our big day. She was very responsive to emails, ensured out needs were met and made the whole process very seamless. She also provided us a recommendation for a local florist, Alicia, who did a fantastic job with the flower arrangements and tablet setup. The restaurant was perfect for hosting our small, intimate wedding reception.
