Pearl Social Santa Barbara

Service was fantastic and the ambiance was very pleasant. Food was limited and not very plentiful. Popcorn was the best part of the meal!

As one of the very first restaurants to open in the Funk Zone several years ago, Lark hit the ground running and has been able to retain its position as one of the best in SB. Service is knowledgeable and anticipatory. Food is reliably very good. Wine list is serviceable.

Went here for the Christmas pop up and definitely will be back next year! The decor and Christmas themed drinks really got us into the spirit! Drinks were delicious. You'll want them all. Plan to Uber!! I wish they would expand their selection of bar snacks. But the reason it wasn't a 5-star experience is that they limited the time you have and were aggressive about ushering us out when time was up. The waitress even picked up my purse to get us up from the table. If they are going to do this then service should be faster. We waited at least 20 minutes before ordering our first drink and service remained slow throughout. I would have given 2 stars for the service. But everything else was wonderful.

I cannot recommend this place at all. It was our wedding weekend, and we were excited to meet some friends at this bar. However, as soon as we walked in, we were stopped by a rude and judgmental person who immediately told us not to enter and that we were in the wrong place. We tried to explain that we were meeting friends there, but she insisted we leave. Then she called over a man who repeated the same message, both treating us with extreme rudeness. Their behavior nearly spoiled our wedding weekend. Fortunately, we found a fun bar across the street, and I urge you to choose another venue and avoid this bar completely to ensure your night isn’t ruined.

The drinks are excellent, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the live music is enjoyable and well-selected. It's also dog-friendly. Leticia and Angel provide outstanding service—they're always available when you need them, yet they never impose.
