15 Splendid Restaurants to Try in Santa Barbara

"Wife and husband team Tara Penke and chef Jaime Riesco opened Gala in February 2023. The relaxed neighborhood restaurant serves an uncomplicated menu that changes with the seasons. Regular items include oysters topped with an apple cucumber mignonette, risotto, and steak with chimichurri and bone marrow butter. If needed, there’s an option to buy a neighboring table a glass of bubbles on the menu." - Mona Holmes
