One of the friendliest restaurants in town! Beautiful people, beautiful food and beautiful live music a couple nights per week. If you're visiting Santa Barbara, heck, if you're a local, either way treat yourself to an evening with Willie and Trini at La Arcada Bistro and let their daughter set the mood for you with her amazing vocal talents singing both folk and Irish folk songs, occasionally as a duet with her day, Willie or a trio when lil sis is on town.
The owner and staff are great
This place had been here for seven years and I'm just now finding out about it. Eggs Benedict and my daughter's grilled cheese were very good. I look forward to coming back for some Irish music
Honestly the best french dip I have ever eaten in my life. People with me got fish tacos and crab melt and everything was magnificent. I cannot recommend it enough.
Great food at reasonable prices. Owner, Willie Owens, holds a jam session on Sunday evenings, playing classic Irish tunes. And on Friday nights, he and his daughters sing Irish tunes and ballads.
Very good food! Nice owner & location. Get the Santa Barbara omlet. French toast & ham & cheese were really good!
Wonderful, warm owners. Magical atmosphere. Great food. Right on State Street. Had a wonderful evening there. Penny Kelly Collard
Excellent food and wonderful owners. And great music too. A true family affair.
Excellent service and food. Had the New York steak and pasta Alfredo, it was delicious.
