The 15 Best Restaurants in Santa Barbara, According to Eater Editors

"The Lark’s been holding down Santa Barbara’s fine dining scene since 2013. Before sitting down, explore the restaurant to appreciate the built-in booths, patios, and custom outdoor fire pits. Chef Jason Paluska’s menu features locally sourced oysters and Channel Islands crudo with avocado mousse. The smoky Texas-style barbecue pork spare ribs with bourbon pickled jalapeno, fennel & red cabbage slaw, chives will also do nicely." - Mona Holmes
