I spent a very special birthday with my Mom at my friends beautiful bungalow on the Mesa in Santa Barbara. Her home is an oasis that sits on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific. It was a magical spot to celebrate.

Sushi A Go Go – Marina
Inexpensive, delicious and located on the docks in the marina. Order at the tiny counter inside and vie for a spot on the boardwalk. Enjoy your sushi while watching the boats come in. Closes at 7.

Les Marchand – Funk Zone
We loved french bistro mixed with Calafornia winery vibe. A bit less trendy and crowded then its sister restaurant The Lark. Best seats in the house are at the bar, be sure to order a cheese plate.
