The Dining Room at Belmond El Encanto

For a date that truly makes you feel on top of the world, head to the Dining Room at the Belmond El Encanto. You cannot beat the view from their patio, high on the hills of Santa Barbara, overlooking the red roofs of town and the Pacific Ocean beyond. It's the perfect destination for a special brunch or romantic dinner. The food is fresh too, with herbs grown onsite and ingredients brought in from local farmers and fisherman. Service isn't the speediest, but you don't want to be rushed when you're here anyway. After your meal, take a moment to stroll the lush grounds, pop over to the bar or visit the spa to book your next luxury treatment.
