- JJimSan Francisco Bay Area •54 reviews4.0Dined on Oct 3, 2024We've eaten here a few times, and the service and food are always good. Yes, it's a casual place and the menu is somewhat limited, but everything is fresh, well prepared and the staff makes sure everything is exactly right I had the chicken salad which had EVERYTHING in it and my wife had the turkey sandwich which was piled high with meat and vegies. The wine selection was good and fairly priced. I would recommend the goat tree for lunch or a casual dinner. (yes, they have heaters if it gets cold and you're seating outside)More infoGoat Tree RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Santa Barbara•4.4
