Jane, 4.0 out of 5 based on 7 ratings

What’s more fun than sitting at a large, communal table talking with people you’ve never met in a lively restaurant? Possibly enjoying a delicious burger with homemade bun, homemade mayo, and a roasted chile for accent. You can, of course, have your own table. Salad bowls are popular at lunchtime, too, like the half papaya filled with crab on a bed of butter lettuce, sprinkled with toasted almonds and two yummy sauces. Jane’s is new to State Street, but an old favorite from the owners of Montecito Cafe. Like the Cafe, Jane emphasizes quality, value and service. Menu favorites include grilled breast of duck, seared ahi & prawn salad bowl, the natural hamburger and fish & chips. The atmosphere is cozy and warm with a floor to ceiling fireplace and is located in the historical Spanish building two doors from the Arlington hotel.

Delicious

Had a great time with my family at Jane the other night. Ordered filet mignon, crab salad and liguini. All were very tasty, and the ambiance is a great family setting. Seems like at home but a lot cooler. Love the family style table.

Cute place, great service & good food

You have never had french fries this good before. And the creme brulee is PERFECT. I prefer going to Jane at lunch. It gets crowded at dinner & it's hard to hear a conversation if you're downstairs. It's a cute place w/friendly staff & extraordinary food.

Consistently really good

I have an office just up the street from this restaurant. We used to go to Opal, but my entire staff loves this place so much more. The salad bowls are the huge crowd pleaser. Great work. Keep it up for you are our favorite downtown restaurant.

Their salads are the best

My girlfriends and I love the salads at Jane. Tons to choose from and enough to fill you up. The atmosphere is very fun and energetic and the service is never too rushed. Great work and keep up the good job.

Nice improvements to a wonderful place already

Had another delicious lunch at Jane. My girlfriend and I always love to sit at the family style table because you never know who you will meet. The owners did something to dampen the noise which is a really nice improvement when the place gets crowded. Sometimes it was a little too loud for us, but not anymore. We love the salad bowls.

One of my favorite places in SB

I have eaten at Jane on many occasions, dinner with family, girl friends, and hot dates. The food is awesome and beyond reasonably priced. I'm a healthy eater and always leave feeling like I have been spoiled but not feeling guilty. The service and the wine list are great too. We are lucky to have Jane in Santa Barbara.

Very nice lunch

Had lunch with a good friend and really enjoyed the experience. I had the macho burger, which was excellent. The flavor was great and the bun must have been homemade because it actually tasted freshly made. My friend had the filet mignon which he raved about. We sat at the family style table and enjoyed conversations with our neighbors. The service was very good and attentive. Will highly recommend to all my friends.

Stepping out with the ladies

My girlfriends wanted something downtown for a lunch date. I had heard about the coconut cake at Jane's and although I knew this was hardly the reason to pick a restaurant, Im always up for a good dessert. We all ordered salads which were quite huge and came in colorful bowls. We took turns sampling each others and there wasn't one complaint. In a group of ladies over 60, that's a miracle. We saved room for one piece of the cake and recommend if you want to die and go to heaven, this is the ticket. It is so delicious, especially with the side of cream custard to dip the cake into, NEED I SAY MORE. Run don't walk to Jane's. You will love it.
