| Creative fare well executed is the hallmark of Jane. You’d be hard pressed to categorize a restaurant that serves a Greek salad, Italian pastas and culinary anomalies like Dungeness crab and a half papaya with curry sauce and honey-lime dressing atop butter lettuce. There is also straight ahead steakhouse fare, as well as burgers and sandwiches. And it all works. Owner Jane Chapman knows the restaurant business; her parents opened the nearby Montecito Café. This one is named for her grandmother, whose photos adorn the room. Located on the northern edge of downtown Santa Barbara, Jane is convenient yet just far enough removed from the hustle and bustle. If you’re in the mood for steak, a New York cut is grilled to a savory peak and served with horseradish butter and veal demi-glace. New Brunswick salmon is cooked on a cedar plank and paired with mango relish and citrus cream. While the wine list is heavy on California labels, many of them from Santa Barbara County, it also includes Italian Proseccos, Champagne and an Argentine Malbec. |
