Harry's Plaza Cafe - Santa Barbara

This is my to go place for dinner a nostalgic celebrating the past dark and moody dinner spot. From it's burgundy seats and wooden tables set the perfect vibe amongst all the pictures of Presidents, movie stars, and people. Order the meat, or French dip, it' melts in your mouth. I don't know how they make it but it's perfection. The soft bread has the best consistency for this French dip. I used to come here 45 years ago and it NEVER disappoints. The drinks are especially strong so bring a sober friend. The drinks are delicious made with good quality products and straight to point.

Had moms 90th bday. Good service anf fun big place. Nice bar. Mafioso style, red carpets old time ovet suffed booths. Famous Parking: Grocery mart parking Kid-friendliness: Our kids were all over in our semi private booth. Service friendly and professional

Service was excellent and the atmosphere was amazing if a little loud. Warning, the cocktails are heavy pours so if you get one make sure you have a driver. I ordered the serloin steak

Been a regular for over 40 years, and the last few times we have been sorely disappointment, but now we won't be back until they make many needed changes. First, ALL of their cocktails, either Craft or regular.........All are $19.95 each!! Outrageous!! Quality of the French Dip has gone down, meat not plentiful and the beef was tough and grizzly....The salads are warm, limp (never crisp any more) and their once great blue cheese dressing is now a very thin and not chilled substitute....So much for a great salad at Harry's! Calamari was tough, overcooked and very chewy....Had to ask for a replacement, server seems irritated, but it was not edible! Dirty tables not attended to, it seems in dissaray. We went to Joe's recently, and got some great stiff drinks for $6.00 each, AND a Happy Hour too! When a bottle of Hornito's (not close to a premium Tequila) is about $20, they really have a nerve charging twenty bucks for a Margarita!!! No more!!

Haven't been in quite a while. Lunch was the classic French dip sandwich fries and salad. $20.00!!!
