The Ellwood restaurant opened at Goleta Beach last February, in the former home of Beachside Bar-Cafe, offering dinner to big crowds. Reader Harley tells me that the eatery is now open for lunch as well. The menu is available online at theellwood.com

The Sandwiches & Entrees menu includes The Burger (two 4oz patties, new school american cheese, onion, pickle, steak sauce, fries), BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato, house chips), Chicken Club (bacon, lettuce, tomato, house chips), Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich (parker house bun, pickle, peppercorn aioli, house chips), Tuna Melt (marble rye, tuna, new school american cheese, house chips), Prime Hanger Steak Sandwich (chimichurri, peppadew pepper, fries), Fish & Chips (tartar sauce, steak fries), Salmon (cous cous, arugula, peppadew pepper), Cioppino Seafood Bucatini (tomato & saffron clam sauce, bay scallop, shrimp, mussels), and Fusilli Alla Vodka (‘Ndjua sausage, Calabrian chile, vodka sauce).
