The Palace Grill 8 East Cota Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

"Loved the ambience. Loved their popcorn crawfish! We tried their big easy platter, but it wasn't as amazing as I expected. It was good to try everything from redfish to chicken in one plate, but their seafood items were a bit underwhelming. Rice and fillet mignon were amazing though. Their bread pudding souffle was alright, probably won't get it next time we visit. A bit pricey compared to other restaurants of similar quality in the neighborhood."

"I had a really fun and memorial night with friends there. It is unlike any other restaurant. Not to mention the food, it was so good and unique. A must go restaurant if visit Santa Barbara."

"I loved this place and cannot wait to go again! The ambiance is wonderful; it has an old school Louisiana vibe in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. The food was delicious! Creole food always hits the spot with this place being no exception. The service was immaculate, with the server making sure to tell us that if we wanted desert since we would have to order it asap because it would take a while. We got the food very fast, probably because we got there early. I strongly recommend this place! We will be going back :)"

"Loved this place…Awesome food, fabulous service and a great atmosphere….the unique communal singing was so good, as was the team toasting all customers a lovely touch…this was the last night of our months trip to North America and we were so pleased to have experienced the Palace Grill to finish on a high"

"The Palace Grill was a delight, combining great food with with a fun and perky environment. They were clearly aiming for the New Orleans ambience and nailed it. The Cajun popcorn was great and the redfish outstanding. The little buns to start were good, although a bit sweet and doughy. People love the soufflé- and with good reason. The Cajun martini was definitely exotic, although in the end not quite as strong as it tasted. It felt like the dining room was full of people having a good time and the communal singing of its a wonderful world seemed very appropriate. Memorable!"
