Restaurants

A Lebanese restaurant serving fresh and high quality Mediterranean dishes. Zaytoon is a hidden oasis situated on a large outdoor garden patio in downtown Santa Barbara, with fire pit tables.

At Honor Bar in Montecito you'll find an exquisite wooden bar in the center, surrounded by cozy booths. This tiny space also features an exhibition kitchen where you can watch all the action. Outdoors enjoy a cocktail and snacks at one of the patio tables or relax on their Adirondack chairs.

The name Reunion Kitchen + Drink couldn’t be more well-suited for the polished, modern comfort-food spot that recently opened after much anticipation on Cabrillo Boulevard and right on the ocean!

If you were any closer to the water you'd be on a boat. Perched above the sand at Arroyo Burro Beach ("Hendry's" to the locals), this is Santa Barbara's go-to spot for fresh-off-the-boat seafood, sunset cocktails, and lively happy hours, with a free side order of ocean breeze. Open for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. The indoor dining room has a casual yet upscale beach club feel, with huge windows framing ocean and Channel Islands views, and a well-designed bar that allows for both indoor and outdoor seating.

Unbeatable harbor views, fresh seafood and the happy noise of a jolly crowd combine to make Brophy Bros. irresistible, even at a distance. Bustling and busy, Brophy's serves up some of the city's most coveted clam chowder, along with awesome garlic baked clams and hefty portions of cioppino. Fresh, grilled fish is also a fine choice, along with a host of other fresh-from-the-sea options.

This trendy sushi restaurant is one of the best in town. The voluminous interior of warm exposed-brick walls and an open kitchen makes the din noticeable, while the outside patio is ideal for summer nights --- both spots pulsate with energy. Arigato is all about fresh fish and seafood, prepared and presented with artful flair.
