Benchmark Eatery - Santa Barbara

Only food we had was the chips and salsa/guacamole and the calamari. The chips were good, the calamari however, was some of the worst I have ever had. All of us were pretty disappointed, but the drinks made up for it.

Environment was good, food was good, and prices were standard. I 'd say tad bit over-seasoned (salty/sweet), but probably because I rather have a hint of taste vs in-your-face level.Brussel sprouts were good.Calamari was good.Chick peas were good.Salmon Asian salad was good.Can 't say the food was amazing, but it 's exactly what I expected and the vibe of the place made it a touch better even with two toddlers

Great place in the heart of it all. Wonderful food, try the sesame salmon salad and the sangria. Parking around the corner. Kyle, Brad and Armando are awesome!

An absolutely delicious lunch here with a vast menu from salads, to burgers. Portions are generous and everything is so tasty. I had a salmon salad and ordered the appetizer of chick peas. The chick peas were a touch salty on its own but made a great topping to my salad. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the salad was hearty. The staff are really friendly and the ambiance is great. Spacious, open dining both indoor and outdoor, great selection of alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages and quick service.
