Marisela Gutierrez - REALTY OF AMERICA

A Fresh Santa Barbara Guide to New and Old-School Restaurants | Eater LA

"Opened in late June 2025 by chef Danny Grant (whose résumé includes opening Chicago’s Maple & Ash), this seaside restaurant—named from the Latin for "star of the sea"—sits on a cliff inside the Ritz-Carlton Bacara with expansive, unobstructed Pacific Ocean views. The kitchen focuses on the freshest fish of the day and produce from local farmers; sample items include prawns with salsa verde and a Calabrian emulsion, raw oysters, roasted California lamb rack, and a notable chicken piccata. The space is large and reservations are not required but highly recommended." - Mona Holmes
