Sliding downhill fast – Went to celebrate the holidays and a friends birthday. I was served two separate cocktails both with lipstick on the glass that was not mine. This is sad as I only ordered two throughout the entireity of the evening. Service was entirely too slow even for a busy night and after a 45 minute wait for appetizers our order was wrong. I cannot believe how bad the Chase has become. Never have I been treated so poorly in a Santa Barbara Restaurant. I actually witnessed the bartender slam a menu shut in a wom... read more

Great Place!! – I enjoy their food here. Lots of mouth watering flavor and I like the super fast way they get the food out to you, without feeling hurried. More accurately, I think I should say that the food comes out in successions, at the perfect timing.

Gloria and Tod like to pad checks & get mad when you catch! – It is very unfortunate that this nice place has such unprofessional bartenders working there.

Really, that is how you treat your customers? Really? – The previous reviews are spot on, the place seems cool enough but the food is just OK. Not bad, but not great. Although I do have to give them props for the Alfredo, it was very good. What boggled my mind was the service. For most of the meal it was fine. In fact, I thought it was adequate even past the point of paying my bill. But as I was sitting at my table getting ready to leave I felt a very strange cold sensation on my leg. A server had spilled a vat of blue chees... read more

Looks NY-cool, but food is sad – Funny that the last review was written in 2005, but the experience I had recently was the same! The place looks really cool w/tabletops out on the sidewalk & a chalkboard listing the specials of the day, and the inside is sort of reminiscent of an NY bistro w/leather banquettes & white tablecloths & red-hued lighting. However, the good impression pretty much stops there. We ordered the lasagna & chicken picatta and like the other reviewer said, the food tastes canned - very substandard! The s... read more

Looks great but tastes like canned tomato paste – From all appearences, the Chase looks great, its got a fun atmosphere, but the food.. thats another story! The red sauces tasted like concentrated tomato paste! it was so rich neither myself or my girlfriend could eat more than a few bites. i would never eat there again! there are lots of other italian resturaunts in the area, choose anything but the CHASE!!!!
