Caya - Goleta

Love the food. had very mixed experiences at brunch. Enjoy dinner at the bar.

The avocado toast was the worst I had cost, as if it were done with bad guacamole and overpriced. Fair atmosphere despite strange choice of music (80s pop for brunch). Overall, not impressed, could go back, provided I just have a bad choice from the menu other in my party were okay with their food.

The Leta Hotel is a stylishly furnished hotel with an eclectic feeling that works well. We went to their indoor/outdoor restaurant for brunch on Saturday. Pleasant outdoor setting, but the servers looked over and harried on a busy morning. The food took a long time to get out and was moderate. I should say that the meal was average overall, but still a good option in the area for its outdoor seating, interesting decor and stylish mood.

Great staff, delicious cocktails, delicious food!!!!! Ambiance on point also, especially after discovering live music on Thursday and Saturday night! Happy Hour is daily from 4-6.

Enjoyed a pleasant dinner while staying at the Kimpton. Space is beautiful out on the patio when the weather allows. Started out with a ?. Selection is pretty good. The happy hour price is not worth it. (HH is $6 for a 10 oz vs. $8 for a pint. Started with the sweet potato appetizer with garbanzo beans. Liked that one a lot. Then had the chips and onion dip. That was tasty. Tried the lettuce cups with the fish. Not what I expected but was okay. I was expecting a dish similar to the Chinese lettuce cups where the ingredients are chopped and the flavors are a burst of mixed delight. To end, had the caramel ice cream and the strawberry ice cream. Both were very tasty. One dish I had at the hotel ? reception were the chicken wings. YUMMY! Would come back again.
