Group Dining
Santa Barbara has dining options to satisfy every palate. A banquet in a stunningly appointed waterfront hotel, a catered affair in a vineyard, a sunset dinner cruise, or a dine-around, where attendees can stroll the tree lined streets of Santa Barbara to enjoy one of the many downtown restaurants in intimate sized groups.
The famed chef, Julia Child didn't choose to call Santa Barbara home just because of the beauty of the destination, she also chose it because of its culinary riches. The rich bounty of Santa Barbara's fields and waters make eating "local" an easy and sumptuously rewarding experience.
Stanley Stewart, of the Sunday Times UK, probably said it best: "If restaurants are a measure of sophistication, Santa Barbarians are an intimidating lot. This city has great restaurants the way Kansas has corn. Among the ahi tuna, the seared scallops and the Pacific salmon, the wine lists make fascinating reading. Many of the best wines are made within a 50-mile radius."
