Not to be a stickler but....., 3/21/2010
Reviewer: Jessica

I expect a certain amount of snobbery when I go to a French bakery. So when I ordered a couple of macarons to go and the girl at the counter said "what flavor of macaroon" I was a bit taken aback. A macaron is very different from a macaroon. One is a french cookie, while the other is a coconut treat. This macaron was dry and a little old. Too bad, because the almond croissant was amazing! All in all, a good bakery that needs to remind its staff what they are selling.

Went here for lunch...packed!!! no seats so we had it to go. I had the steak sandwich...bread melted in my mouth...steak perfectly seasoned. MMM Great food and salad but on the pricey side...I will go back though. Service was great.

We popped in for a late Sunday brunch. When we arrived, all the tables were empty, which just seemed wrong. Within 5 minutes of sitting down, every table was full! It's a small space, with perhaps six tables that could be a comfortable 2-top, or fit 3 people/table if you get very friendly with each other. The shining star about this location is that you don't have to head far uptown to pick up THE BEST croissants in Santa Barbara - it's a pleasant walk for downtown residents to stop in and grab a box of pastries to go. If you want to dine in, come early, or be prepared to wait. The pastry selection isn't as diverse as the uptown location, but it does have the popular items, plus a good selection of jellied candies. So glad that Renaud's has opened up downtown.
