For a truly scrumptious farm-to-table meal in a relaxed atmosphere, head over to Barbareno. Located downtown, just two blocks off busy State Street, this restaurant looks, feels and tastes like pure California. Think warm wood, glowing lights, savory smoked meats and fresh seafood. The Barbareno team shops twice weekly at the Santa Barbara farmers market to deliver on their commitment to cooking with sustainable, local and delicious ingredients. On any given night, you might enjoy Pacific mussels with fennel pollen, pork belly with walnuts and dates, or basil ice cream. A solid wine and beer menu is available too. Reservations recommended.
