Reviews Honor Bar

Let’s start with parking. They offer free parking in an underground garage. That is amazing in a town with linited parking options. For those with accessibulity issues, there is an elevator. The staff members are attentive and polite. They are all dressed in smart, crisp “uniforms.” The special cocktails menu is fun and my choice, “The Bees Knees,” was an excellent cocktail of botanical gin, honey, and lemon juice served in a frosty martini glass. Yum. We sat on the patio which offered lots of shade. The inside looked fun but was quite crowded. I had the tuna sandwich which was served with one side toasted. I have never seen that before and it worked. I would order it again. My husband had the crispy chicken sandwich, served on a good-sized roll. He would order that again as well. Not only were we happy with all the above, it was the little things that made this place extra special. For instance, it was a warm day and when my cocktail glass was half full, our server voluntarily brought me a chilled replacement glass. Everyone was so exceptionally nice. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Quality food and drinks; I just wish they could have a larger patio but very accommodating space out front while you are waiting. Dings crispy chicken sandwich is phenomenal! Tasty place with friendly, trained staff.

Amazing food! Not a huge selection of items but just enough. All that we tried were wonderful. The staff was outstanding and provided excellent service. Can’t wait to go back!

Very small establishment. Very beautiful interior. I loved the short but wonderful menu and beverage options. The Thai Steak Salad was amazing! But their website is right; they mostly have tables that accommodate parties of 2. The younger asian floor manager was very kind, and you could see him busy hosting and cashing people out at the Honor Market. The 2 female bartenders were lovely, as well as the server assistant. The server who helped us was very, 'high nose' and we could almost feel the tension in the air as if she 'looked down' on my friend and I at dinner. She said all of the right things and sequence of service was there, but the tone and demeanor was not warm. $100 for 2 people. It was more expensive than an average meal, but it was nice to try it once.

Chicken sandwich is very good & delicious. On a sesame seed roll, fried chicken, lettuce tomato, and baby Swiss cheese. Large enough to split with someone, as it is divided in thirds. My wife also ordered the coleslaw, however she does not like cilantro which was in the slaw. We also ordered the duo dip appetizer, guacamole and jalapeño queso with chips. The guacamole was very good, and the queso dip was also served cold, which is not our favorite way to queso dip. The service was friendly and excellentand kept refilling our cold water. I had the French Dip, which is thinly sliced and piled high prime rib on a french roll. With creamy horseradish and au jus, it was also delicious. The meat was done perfectly for a french dip and the french roll was very tasty. Can highly recommend the Honor Bar, great atmosphere, excellent food and service.

I love this place! Awesome service and great food. I enjoy sitting at the bar - the bartenders can recommend a good drink, and the food comes out pretty quick. There may be a wait, but it's usually pretty minimal and totally worth it.

Beautiful surroundings, people, and all that Montecito thing, with great tasting food. The fried chicken sandwich has just the right about of fried chicken (i e., it's not too greasy), with a nice soft bun to keep it company. The spicy coleslaw (not that spicy really) was the perfect accomplice. All the other food I saw looked great too. Friendly, if somewhat less than genuine service, but maybe that's how people like it. The chef seemed genuinely nice and concerned about the dining experience.
