Find a Caterer in Carpinteria

The mushroom, spinach, goat cheese appetizer and the shellfish in homemade pasta. Flavors leap off the plate. The entire menu is outstanding. Tastes are off the hook.

Those who miss Esau's on State Street need not lament its complete closure - just take a bold step beyond the city limits of Santa Barbara and try the Esau's in Carpinteria. It can be a local hangout, it seems anytime I go there the other customers and staff all know each other. The ham in the ham&eggs dish has never disappointed me. And if you're missing the cornflake french toast, they serve it here, too.

What a hidden gem off the 101!  I am surprised that I am the first to review about this place because usually these mom and pops eateries are favorites.Garden Market has super fresh food and I know I am never eating day old stuff (well maybe the pastries).  Their food is a little over priced but I am sure that is not a problem with the clientele they serve.  I know I have seen Rob Lowe there (I think he owns a house on the beach property that is walking distance)...but anyways, their standard sandwich is give or take 9 bucks, which comes with chips.  My aunt raves over the chips, how it is the best, but I am pretty sure they are just Doritos haha.  I have gotten their Avocado sanwich, pretty much a vegetarian sandwich and it sooo good.  My aunt got the chicken salad sandwich and that was delish.  Their chicken sald mix has cucumbers, nuts, chicken breast, and the chicken ain't dry at all.  We also got one of their deli dishes, some shrimp/cucumber mix with cilantro in oil, soo good, but i think a small bowl of that was like $8!!!?!?!The environment is super cute, it's like your eating in a secret garden/green house.  When I looked around for a place to sit, I saw birds walking around.  They had cute knick knack (but overpriced) things for sale.  They have a lot of area, indoors and out.  I wouldn't say this is the best place for a date, but maybe a place to take your grandma? family members?Overall, a lunch for two people cost $35...wow a lot, but the food is good, service is friendly and a cute area with a ocean view.
