Love the ambiance of the restaurant, I like the fire and wood elements. Staff was attentive and very friendly. It felt upscale but relaxed. We got the bacon wrapped figs, lamb sliders, mole tacos, and the brie n jam bites. The only thing I didn't care for was the brie. Texture and flavors were not for me. Lamb was cooked perfectly with great flavors, tacos were tasty, and I could eat two plates of the bacon wrapped figs. Bit pricey for portions, but what you would expect for quality at a tapas place. Gave 5 for overall experience.

The food wasn’t my favorite only because it was a bit bland but the quality was great. The customer service was 10/10. I sat outside near the fire which was cozy and the inside seating was a bit more intimate. Great spot for a date or small dinner with family/friends.

Such great drinks, my favorite is the beat drink; it’s so smooth and sweet but not too sweet. The sweet potato fries are incredible, must order and they’re on happy hour. I love the Brussels, not fried but covered in butter

I was expecting tapas in the Spanish sense but was still satisfied with what felt like a more American leaning vibe. The salad and Brussel sprouts dishes were by far the best among the several we tried. PB&J sliders are interesting to me. The service was good and they paced serving the dishes really well.

We loved having a date night here in sunny Santa Barbara. The hostess was incredibly friendly and very professional, and seated us at the perfect little table. Our waitress was attentive and accommodating without ever being overbearing. We ordered five different tapas—plenty for two—and they were all excellent: fresh, flavorful, unique, and beautifully presented. A couple of local beers and wines rounded out the experience perfectly. It was surprisingly affordable, too. The ambiance is intimate and warm. My only minor complaint was a screen that stayed on during our meal—it was a bit distracting and took away from the atmosphere for me, but that’s just personal preference.

We had a small family get together at Milk and Honey this past weekend and it was truly a treat! This cozy tapas and artisan cocktail place is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara. I have traveled the world, eating and drinking in countless fine dining establishments. The quality and variety of offerings at Milk and Honey stands up to the best of them!! Their version of paella was beautifully presented, flavor was great and with beautifully fresh ingredients. Their service is timely and friendly, while the variety of beautifully prepared dishes and cocktails for varied tastes served are impressive! I would highly recommend Milk and Honey, truly a worthwhile place for excellent food, cocktails and atmosphere!!

Honestly, stopped by this place on a trip to Santa Barbara and I can’t stop thinking about the dates. The ambiance and the food were insane. Everything we ordered was just incredible. I cannot wait to come back!

Just ok, worth checking out but we won't be coming back. Too many other better options around at this price point. 2nd time here, last time was in 2019. The vibe is nice and food flavors are unique but the prices are steep for the portions served. $15 or so for two bite size sliders, I'll pass and just go to Third Window for a smash burger. Don't come starving or you will have to spend over $50 a person to be anywhere near full. Ahi nachos were tasty.

Amazing. Delicious. Their Pollo con cream tacos, organic street corn, and That's my jam were simply great. Great customer service was good too. My son dropped a corn on the cob on the floor and they quickly replaced it.

The restaurant is a little loud but had a cozy ambiance. Food came out hot and within a reasonable time frame especially for dinner. It quickly filled up for a Friday evening so I recommend reservations to be safe. The burrata was the best part. The fried arugula, garlic and tomatoes really added to the richness of the cheese. Crispy baguette slices were well toasted. Brussel sprouts were standard. Good char and crispy. Calamari was a little tough and chewy but well fried. Probably from frozen squid rings or something but no complaints if you consider it as bar food. Lime mocktail was refreshing and staff was nice.

Ah, yes. In a town full of Tapas, I found myself here with a few friends for dinner. Its a dimly lit, but well lit, place. Black walls with a cute bar as well as projector playing something I cant remember. I just remember the food! The staff is attentive enough, and the food came out in a very appropriate amount of time! No complaints there! Foodwise, we ordered a few things: Bacon-wrapped dates? Always welcome in my book. The tater tots were great! Love their ranch dipping sauce. The amount of dill in that thing is amazing. Definitely would get again! Kale salad was unexpectedly fantastic! Those pickled carrots really freshen up the dish. Brussels sprouts were probably my favorite thing there. They were blanched and then lightly sauteed (I think?), but it came out to an incredible texture as well as flavor. That parsley butter is worth its weight in gold, I tell ya! Lamb sliders were no slouch either. They were cooked perfectly, and on cute Hawaiian buns, which I never say no to! Overall, this place was a great visit, and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in town!

Tapas FTW! We had a fantastic last night in Santa Barbara enjoying these fun and tasty tapas. Our party of four dined for 2 hours and were completely satisfied. Highly recommend. We were excited to see Stem Cider on the drink menu, from our hometown of Lafayette, Colorado (don't miss out!) Brussel sprouts - oddly add leaves but prepared so that they were savory and a big hit. I Can Buy Myself Cauli-Flowers - large pieces of cauliflower cooked to perfection, not to soft or too crunchy Drop It Like It's Tot(s) - steaming hot, great alone or with sauce Dressed to Kale - salad with carrots, dressing was interesting Potatoes Bravos - sauce was fantastic, uneven potato sizes meant some were not as well cooked and a bit hard Organic Street Corn - comes on the cob, another hit Date with a Pig - flavorful, we wanted more than 4! Pollo con Crema Tacos - double tortilla kept all the toppings intact Americana Sliders - standard fare

Oh my, oh my! Highly recommend Milk & Honey! Drinks were incredible, food was delicious, and the service was great. Absolutely loved the vibe of the restaurant. The tapenade pintxos, beet it salad, Mejillones Picantes, and the shrimp tacos are a must! We devoured our food, I didn't even have time to take pictures. I'll definitely be coming back!

I've been to this restaurant several times over the years. My visit today was disturbing. We arrived at the rear entrance 5 minutes before opening. I asked if we could sit and the woman there said no, wait out front by the hostess stand. No problem. We walked through the restaurant to the front. I saw the menus there and picked one up to browse the menu while we waited. When it was our turn to be sat down, we already had the menu but noticed I didn't have and she didn't pick up the smaller happy hour menu. I let her know and picked one up. She rudely said to me not to touch anything at the hostess stand. It wasn't for me to touch. This immediately put a damper on my fun evening out. Many restaurants post their menus outside the door for patrons to look at beforehand. Thankfully, she wasn't our server. Our server was lovely. I asked for the rude one's name to write my review. Her name is Lorissa and I hope she sees this because treating customers rudely is unacceptable.

Theo happy hour is worth it and I also stuck around for dinner and drinks after happy hour. Drinks had amazing flavors- bartenders know their mix. I had Brussel sprouts, sweet potato fries and the cha cha burger. Everything was great. Read the ingredients bc it's nothing you e tastes before. Would definitely come back. Vibe was intimate and also welcoming at the same time. Had music and old cartoons in the background. Service was great. Chatted with Dylan- great company/ heart of gold.

I thought the Brie dish and tacos were very good but beet salad inedible. I think they forgot dressing then I asked twice , it finally came after 20 minutes and then they charged me for it! I liked the vibe and servers but when two dishes were inedible, left something to be desired. Three dishes were excellent though. Mole tacos, Brie and potatoes

Ambiance in this place is excellent...music in the background, dimly lit but I can still see my plate and the cool walls that remind me of a sauna! Relaxed vibes all around. Service is good friendly waitstaff and have to say the apps we ordered were scrumptious! Particularly the some Brie sauce if you are a fan of cheese go for it! It's a win. I also really enjoyed the Brussels sprouts they are shaved instead of the whole or halved pieces. Isabella was a great waitress and would definitely come back again! Great Happy hour spot!!!

Amazing tapas that opens pretty late. They have late night happy hour from Thursdays through Saturdays from 9:30-11 PM. I love the quality of their tapas and it's such a hip/cool place inside.

Most food was really good but way overpriced. Drinks overpriced as well. Had reservations but they'll still tried to sit us in the back - at the tables that face some of their restaurant supplies (classy). They weren't that busy. We moved. Service was pretty slow and not at all genuine.

What a gem; came here after the circus in search of a late night snack. They offer a late night happy hour menu, perfect for what we were looking for; tacos or sliders; we went with 3 types of tacos, chicken, veggie & meat, all were tasty. Our server's recommendations were spot on. This feels like an intimate place, with places to sit with curtains acting as walls. Great find, on our next trip down we'll definitely be back.

Wow! We came here for a couples date night and it was 8 of us! 1 of the couples were first timers and absolutely loved the food! Our other friends have come in the past and each and every time the meals are amazing! I've even celebrated a birthday here with how much I love it! But, this time it was my friends birthday celebration. Don't overlook this whole in the wall! The food is on another level and will definitely satisfy your tastebuds, and that of your friends and families!

Ate here tonight to celebrate my wedding anniversary and it was so nice! Super easy to call ahead and get a reservation. The location is so convenient with parking right behind the restaurant (and the first 75 minutes are free!). Their staff were all so incredibly friendly. We were seated right away upon arrival. They have both indoor and outdoor dining options, with a fireplace and heaters outside in case it's cool. We started with drinks and I really enjoyed the Heat of Passion- a spicy tequila drink, so good! The "that's my jam" Brie bites were incredible. Surprisingly really cold but I love Brie, so I'll take it in any form- haha! I wasn't very impressed with the Brussel sprouts. We paid more to add bacon and I'm glad we did because I think they would've been very plain without. They should add balsamic glaze to the mixture. The shrimp flautas are incredible and come with a spicy crema. The American sliders are also really good and come served on a Hawaiian roll. Our whole meal was great. Definitely a fun evening. The ambiance is nice inside, sorta loungy and they play cartoons on a TV above the bar. We always have a good time here!

Stumbled across this place while looking for somewhere to get starters and quick drinks before our reservations somewhere else... we were sat quickly! Walking in we didn't know what to expect but was surprised and honestly happy! Contemplating if we should just cancel our reservations and stay there! Drinks were delicious. The Oaxaca-in paradise was delicious my girlfriend was a huge fan! We really liked the interior of the restaurant though note it's a very romantic setting! Private curtains to make you and your partner feel secluded along with open tables and a small bar counter. Very pleased when we went! Will return soon! thank you for the experience Milk & Honey!

Dinner in Santa Barbara and we felt like having a a number of flavors to enjoy through the evening, so tapas was the perfect was to do so. Happy hour was available and we enjoyed a slightly discounted limited menu for drinks. Grenache and margarita was nice. We ordered patatas bravas (spicy! But flavorful), beet salad (refreshing and good), lamburgini (simple and tasty), Brie sauce (good with lamburgini), burrata (my personal favorite), and the molten lava cake with ice cream (my other personal favorite), paired with mezcal coffee Negroni. We enjoyed each dish as they delivered in flavor and originality, with the Brie sauce being at the end of the list as all the previous reviews had built it up so much. The sauce and onions seems to overwhelm the dish and most of the onion and sauce remained on the dish uneaten. The burrata came with crunchy greens which was unexpected and complemented the soft creaminess of the buttery cheese so well. The beet salad had fresh greens that felt so welcomed after the sinful crispy greens of the burrata. Have your water ready for the patatas bravas! Finish the meal right with the molten lava cake (moreso a mini Bundt cake) with warm chocolate sauce poured generously in the center along with a slightly tart raspberry sauce glazing the top. The vanilla ice cream is a must have to support and contrast the darkness and warmth of the chocolate. There's so much more on the menu to try at future visited. Why only 4 stars? The service for our particular table for two seemed so much slower that diners around us. It took nearly 20 minutes for the first dish to appear (I thought he beet salad was a quick and easy one to bring out relatively quickly) and around the same amount of time for the dessert to come out after our last plate was removed. Other diners came and went with about the same number of dishes we had, along with dessert, while we waited and waited, and waited. The food was good enough to overlook this and we will have another experience to write about the next time we're in SB.

Kelsie/Kelsey was my server for the second time at Milk and Honey. She was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful, my partner and I have only been once prior but she remembered us and our faces from my partners birthday in December. We loved our experience from his birthday, that we had to come back for mine! She made the experience very memorable, and was kind and patient, and was very personable. The food and drinks were amazing, I can't stop thinking about the brussel sprouts. Thank you Milk and Honey for making my birthday dinner so wonderful, can't wait to be back soon!

Want to start by saying that the drinks were good and our server was lovely. However, the food was a prank unfortunately. Poor seasoning, soaked in oil and butter, and substandard quality -- comparable to late night drunk food. This places feels like it belongs in Isla Vista based on the dishes we were served lol. For reference -- we got the beet salad, chicken tacos, ahi nachos, brussels sprouts, patatas bravas, and pan con tomate. Also it was 52 degrees outside and they had two fans blasting indoors on high that they would not turn off, so everyone in the restaurant was shivering. Very unpleasant and odd ... lol

Cozy tapas spot - came in for an early dinner, and arrived in time for a glass of happy hour Grenache (very good). We started with the beet salad and Mexican corn (both delicious), then had the ahi tacos (bit disappointing; ahi had no flavor), but finished up with the Americana sliders, which were great.

Was pleasantly surprised with the food at this place. I honestly was not expecting too much with the tapas but wow everything was delicious! What we ordered: -Sweet Potato Fries: Fluffy but crispy. Light, melted cheese. Delicious garlic sauce. Great for snacking. -Street Corn: Creamy, buttery, spiced sauce. Succulent corn. Yum. -Shrimp Tacos (2 tacos per order): OMG. THIS WAS SO GOOD. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. So many flavors. Creamy sauce, acidity from the pico, and my goodness the roasted tomatillo salsa was THE BEST. While I can handle a lot of heat, I must say it was quite spicy so I suggest adding a very small amount at first. Nevertheless, it added great flavor and I wish I could've purchased a bottle to bring home haha. -Pollo Con Crema Tacos (2 tacos per order): Also really saucy and flavorful, but I think the shrimp tacos were the winner here. It also came with the roasted tomatillo salsa though. -The Bachelorette: I enjoyed this drink. Light and fruity. Went down pretty quick. Food was priced on par with what we expected. Each of us left having spent maybe $40 (includes drinks + tip)/person. We were satisfied but had room left for dessert around the area. The restaurant and parking: We came around 7:30pm on a Saturday and were able to get a table for 3 immediately. There is outdoor (with heater) and indoor + bar seating. Dimly lit inside. Fairly small restaurant but the wait time for the food was very reasonable. Our server Devon/Devin had it DOWN. She was quick, great personality, and managed everything well despite the restaurant being short staffed. It seemed like the other tables also enjoyed her service as well! There is street parking in the surrounding area and some paid parking in some lots which is what we did. Overall: I would definitely come back whenever I'm in town. Get the shrimp tacos.

The Date w/ A Pig and Lamburginis were out of this world delicious... beyond 5 stars (more like 10 stars!!). Also delicious were the brussel sprouts and sweet potato fries, both done uniquely (you'll have to try them!). We would definitely be ordering these dishes again!! The patatas bravas: some pieces were heavenly crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside (just perfection!!), while about 1/3 were undercooked (not creamy on the inside)--perhaps cutting the pieces more uniformly would help? Also, we felt the sauce might be lightened, since about 1/3 of the pieces lost their outside crispness because of they were doused. Drinks were great and the service by Larissa was outstanding! Ambiance was casual cool! Thank you Milk & Honey Team for providing us a memorable evening!

Milk & Honey is the best place for tapas and delicious drinks! I love sharing with a friend sampling a little bit of everything. The happy hour menu is amazing. It's 5-7 daily plus a late night happy hour. My favorite is the Manchego y Membrillo (manchego and guava). I've never had anything like it and could definitely have a few orders. Date with a Pig is also another favorite - the honey is a perfect touch. The sangria is packed with flavor and the brandy shines through. They also have a great craft cocktail menu. Whether you're sitting out front, in the main area or one of the cozy back booths, the vibe is so unique and fun. It's great for an intimate get together or a group. We went on a Wednesday evening and were seated right away, but I'd recommend making a reservation later in the week.

Cute spot for a date night or a girls night out. We were able to get a table with no wait on a Friday night. We got cocktails and some dishes to share. Heat of Passion- tequila and passionfruit drink that comes with a chili sugar rim. I recommend getting this if you like spicy drinks. It's was a great combination of sweet and spicy. My friend got a mezcal drink but didn't like that it was served with regular ice instead of cocktail ice. The grapefruit flavor was good though. Beet It Salad- loved the crunchy apples and nuts with arugula and goat cheese. They didn't overdo do the dressing. Great for sharing Shrimp and grits- the grits were yummy! The shrimp could've used a little more seasoning/flavor.

This place is awesome! My girlfriends and I enjoyed a few cocktails and some mini bites last night and we were not disappointed. Our server Kelsi provided outstanding customer service, she's amazing. We had some Brussels sprouts with bacon, shrimp and chicken tacos, the American sliders and the Pan con ajo. The heat of passion cocktail was a hit and I also loved the Brut Cava. Definitely will be returning to this place in the future.

Yelp
So much potential... the best part was the drinks. they were phenomenal! Service and ambience were also amazing. However, the food was a 2/5. The menu sounded amazing, but the execution of the dishes did not live up to how they could've turned out. The sliders were abysmal (see photo). They were supposed to have golden raisins on them. we opened them up and found only one sad raisin. We were especially excited about the patatas bravas, but they were tossed in a sauce that made them soft on the outside, rather than golden and crispy like we expected. Overall, will come back for drinks, but not the food. The staff were all amazing. We hope they can tweak the menu - the flavors and ingredients were all there, but the execution was off.

What a great find! We were staying at the Upham hotel and I looked up restaurants that were within walking distance and Milk & Honey popped up. We went at around 6pm on a Wednesday night and there was no wait for an outdoor table. I underestimated the portion sizes (past experiences with tapas left us hungry usually) and ordered 6 items for 2 adults and a toddler. This was way too much food! Haha Date with a pig: bacon wrapped dates with honey. This was really good but on the sweet side. This one was my husband's favorite. Burrata: this one was so refreshing! I loved the crispy basil. This one was my favorite. Organic street corn: yummy corn slathered with the toppings, has a bit of a spicy kick to it. My toddler liked this even though it was spicy. Chicken tacos: fairly standard tacos Some brie sauce: this one was my second favorite! I didn't expect such a large portion. It came as our last dish and I was already so stuffed but we still enjoyed this dish a lot. This one was also pretty sweet. Mole sliders: good but nothing too special, had a good spicy kick to it The Bachelorette: drink was yummy and sweet but pretty small size Overall, great place for dinner! Would definitely recommend as a place to catch up with friends or to go for a date night.

My favorite restaurant ever! Food is super good (my favorite is the burrata the flavor and some brie sauce) and employees are friendly. The ambiance is very romantic and perfect for date night or a night out with friends. Only downside is that the kitchen gets backed up a lot so it takes a little longer to get your food and drinks.

Came in for a spontaneous hangout session with some friends and I'm glad I did. I've been hearing great things about this restaurant and to finally try it was fun! I ordered two drinks, 'thank god' and 'heat of passion' which were both good but I liked the passion drink more. It's a sharing-style place so you order random things and share. It's a bit odd though because if you've got a party larger than 2, you might find yourself with odd amount of food that you have to awkwardly split amongst your crew. Prices are a bit high for the amount of food you receive. We ordered the patatas bravas and they were amazing! Brussels sprouts ok. PB&J sliders were super different in terms of flavor profile but they were good! The mole sliders also had a great taste to them. I really loved the burrata cheese plate. Such great flavor. The dates wrapped in bacon were good but again, such small portion. I recommend this place!

I have always heard great things about this place from other people. And I was finally able to experience it myself! I went with some friends who had gone before and we ordered the Buratta, Lamburgini sliders & the PB&J sliders. Everything was delicious! The buratta was creamy & the bread paired with it was toasted. The Lamburgini sliders were flavorful & the other sliders were interesting - I was not expecting the pb&j to work with the meat but it weirdly did. My favorite was the dessert! I got the cheesecake & wow it didn't last long.

Been coming here since I moved downtown (and down the street) in 2015! This was my go-to place for a solid few years after moving, and then for a few years I took a bit of a hiatus and lately this past year or so I've been coming back because it's so darn close and convenient. Their happy hour actually holds reasonable hours, from 5 to 7 p.m. every day. Lately when I've been coming, I get the happy hour sangria or the margarita, sweet potato fries, date with a pig, and pollo con crema tacos (basically, everything on the HH menu). Sadly, their happy hour is not as robust as it used to be pre-covid (the patatas bravas, which I love, used to be on the HH menu but they are no longer included) but c'est la vie. Off the HH menu, I've had the lamburginis (lamb sliders) which are delicious and a standout, the burrata, and the brussels sprouts. For drinks, I've had the sangria, margarita, mojito, and Heat of Passion. The food is delicious but a bit on the more expensive side if you're not going off the HH menu. Definitely worth it though for a date night or for happy hour with friends. Ambience is very sensual and dark inside but pretty loud, unless you get one of those intimate, curtained two-seaters by the kitchen. Outside, try to score a table by the fireplace. The parklet can get loud with all of the street traffic. P.S. Please, pretty please bring back the skillet cookie!! I know Alcazar has it, but I don't understand how the sister restaurant up on the Mesa has it but Milk and Honey doesn't. The skillet cookie was amazing. P.P.S. Devon is such a friendly and sweet server! Service overall is pretty good and consistent, although they do get swamped occasionally, but usually every server I've had is quick to refill water and check on your table.

Giving this place 4 stars because I would recommend giving it a try. I love the versatility of the menu and concept of tapas style. However the two dishes that we tried-- mushroom tapenade and the Brie were not executed properly. The mushroom tapenade was bland. And the brie was drowning in soupy balsamic with too many onions. Again great menu ideas, just not executed well. I would say give it a try and form your own opinion. Service was great :)

the food is really good here, we had a burrata salad and it was amazing, the ambiance gives more date night. It's really dark in there and i would recommend for a date night, maybe not a birthday dinner. The service was good. I'm giving 3 stars because I would recommend as a bar, for an appetizer and drinks. This is a great place for a happy hour. I thought this was going to be a dinner place.

The service here is great. I got a classic mojito and it was very good. The ambiance here is very romantic for a date. I am glad we came here during happy hour.

Perfect spot for a date night!! The atmosphere was a 10/10. The hostess and server were extremely friendly and welcoming. Although the lighting was on the dimmer side, it made dining here more of an intimate experience. The tapas were portioned pretty well and pretty generous for two!! I would highly recommend the burrata!! It is super fun to put together and very delicious. I would personally not order the patatas bravas since they were average. The brie sauce is also a good option! It is a little on the sweeter side because of the jam, but pairs well with the brie.

I have a bucketlist of places to try around Santa Barbara and this has been at the top for quite some time now so I am so glad I was able to come We first ordered drinks. I got the blueberry mint lemondrop while my friend got the bachelorette. The waitress had told us the bachelorette was a little sweeter but I didn't taste that at all. In fact the blueberry to me was a little sweeter. Both drinks were so lovely - refreshing and not too overpowering I wasn't too hungry but we ordered shrimp tacos and some brie sauce (per recommendations from our waitress) and she did not disappoint. The shrimp tacos were a little small for the price but they were sooo delish (4/5). The tortilla is toasted and it has a nice charred flavor (not burnt). It comes with a creamy delectable sauce and a salsa on the side. I personally wasn't a fan of the salsa but maybe thats just me Our brie came out soon after and let me warn you - this thing is pretty big. We split it between two but I think with a third person it would've been perfect. The bread is toasted to perfection and the dish comes with some caramelized onions and apples. The combo of the toasted bread, the sliced apples and the onion with the creamy brie on top is simply divine (5/5!!) My only wish is that it came with more brie - you can never get enough cheese!! I love this place and I will definitely be returning. This time I sat inside to avoid a long wait but I would love to have an outdoor table next time and enjoy the ambiance. See you again soon Milk and Honey!

Pretty bad, patatas bravas were just potatoes with hot sauce, borderline inedible, and the corn and tacos were drenched in mayo. The sangria was just red wine with a sprinkle of cinnamon. The server was also not the nicest. Ambiance was decent though. If you're just going for a drink it's probably fine.
