Santa Barbara is known as the “American Riviera”, offering a “culinary adventure” to all who visit. Showcasing local seafood and organic produce, American Riviera-style food is fresh, delicious and unique, with entrees like honey and lavendar grilled duck breast and grilled ahi tuna. Santa Barbara County is also home to several wineries, so diners can enjoy a glass of locally produced wine along with their dinners. Diners interested in sampling this unique fare should check out Bouchon Santa Barbara and the Wine Cask.

Other popular dining choices include Olio e Limone's Northern Italian food, the Palace Grill with its Cajun and Creole menu, and the Zia Cafe's Southwestern cuisine.
