Sly's is pleased to have been chosen for an article in today's (10-11-12)(!) Santa Barbara News Press, written by Marilyn McMahon. Entitled, "Best Seats in the House", the article features restaurants that have,"habitués who always sit at the same table or booth, which they consider the best seats in the house." At Sly's, Marilyn spoke with Andy and Dolly Granatelli, long time Sly's customers. Here's what they had to say,
"We like it because we can park the car at the curb and I can walk the eight steps to the table", said Mr. Grantelli, 89. "It's also further back in the restaurant, and near James' office so we can talk to him".
The News Press states that, "The famous race car driver and his wife became fans of James Sly, the owner, when he was the chef at Lucky's on Coast Village Road in Montecito"
Dolly Granatelli added,"We followed him to Sly's when he opened four years ago. His liver and onions are the best. He serves it with crisp bacon. My mouth is watering just thinking about it." The News Press continues, saying, "Sly's porterhouse steaks, hamburgers, and grilled artichokes are favorites with Mr. Granatelli, whose preferred libation is Patron Añejo tequila on the rocks, while Mrs. Granatelli chooses a glass of chardonnnay or Champagne."
Oh, and by the way, Dolly Andy's favorite table is table 44 - back in Sly's "Monaco Room".
