10Best Says

Named after the grandmother who encouraged the owners to open their first restaurant - the Montecito Cafe - Jane is a testament to comfortable, quality dining as exemplified by kind service and delectable family recipes. Their menu offers up a little bit of everything, for entree-sized salads to burgers to amazing linguine with clams. Small, intimate tables dot the venue, with some fireside and balcony seating available. If you're of a social nature and dining alone, or perhaps your group of companions likes a little excitement, opt to sit at the centrally located communal table. You never know who you'll meet while enjoying a fabulous meal. A private room upstairs is also available to reserve.

Group Friendly: "Their coconut cake is to die for but, strangely, so is everything else on the dessert menu!"

Best for Group Friendly Because: Jane has a warm, welcoming vibe and a quiet room upstairs for your private celebrations. A long communal table is perfect for groups.
