It also comes with rice, half marinated egg, cucumber, carrots , and three veggie side dishes. A full meal without the need to do much thinking. Next is the ca'dario pizza, we got the parma pizza.

We kept hearing how authentic their food is, and they also have a delicious menu of Matcha and Cafe Specials. After walking in and noticing all the other food options, we all split up to visit the other spots within, and we then met at one of the many communal tables to share each other's selections. At our large table we had food from Corazon Cocina, Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodles, Wabi Sabi, Little Bird Kitchen, and Que (West Coast BBQ). They all paired nicely with draft beers and cocktails from Cooney's at the Market, and we even got desserts from Rori's Artisanal Creamery. Staff at each venue was very helpful making food suggestions, and even pointed out some of their own favorites there at the SBPM.

Would love to come back and try some of their beers on tap. Love the wide open seating inside, and even saw a couple dogs. Happy to have another place on my list that I can visit with my doggo! They also had a little restaurant (Nook) you could order food at. A bit over-priced, but the food was good. Lobster Mac & Cheese was a little short on the lobster but was overall tasty. We came during a weekday afternoon and had no problems finding street parking. Overall, a great choice to just relax and enjoy a drink.

This is a great bar and there's just no way around that. The drinks are tough, the vibes are immaculate, the bartenders have teeth and the regulars are absolutely bananas. I love it here. It's probably the only bar you can roll into by yourself as a woman and feel comfortable. As if things couldn't get any better, there's a treasure of a human in there who spins vinyl on Friday nights (maybe Saturdays also, but don't quote me) and you really shouldn't miss that experience.

One of the neatest reclaimed spaces I've ever seen…read more The Mill may appear as new construction, but the main building has actually been present for many decades to my knowledge. It was recently beautifully refurbished into an oasis of an artisan strip mall and offers surprises both inside and out. The venue is wonderfully landscaped and offers great curb appeal, with ambient lighting and drought tolerant vegetation. The parking area is small but there are reserved spaces in a lot across the street where Low Pigeon Coffee is located. The exterior retains its original "mill" charm with natural wood siding and large industrial windows. You'd have no idea it housed several businesses from the front and that is what I appreciate. The facade was kept to look like how it always has, so it remains in tune with the neighborhood rather than sticking out like a sore thumb. You'll find the coolest courtyard just beyond the entrance which is shared by all businesses. It is well lit and offers ample seating and a few clean restrooms. I've been when there is live music and it's the ideal place to enjoy a beverage under the evening sky. There are a handful of small businesses occupying The Mill. I love the vibe of Potek Wine, the interior is intimate and the exposed barrels make for a nice backdrop. I'd say the star of the show is the Third Window Brewing which offers a large main room along with a secondary private patio and a rotating restaurant which varies from their in-house menu to nightly popup dining. A great vibe overall.

After having our donuts, we walked around the plaza. This plaza is similar to an outdoor mall. There are wide walkways with restaurants and boutique shops. There is parking around the borders. The further in I walked, the more I felt like i had teleported to Europe! The main reason we explored this plaza was because of the sculpture, then the telephone booth, then the turtle pond, etc., and we just kept finding more sculptures & things of interest! Points of interest that I saw: Generation Bridge, Lion, Whale Tail Bench, Telephone Booth, Tile Plaque with La Arcada history, Saint Barbara Award to Hugh Petersen, Turtle Fountain, Ben Franklin, The Mozart Trio Fountain, Mission Bell, Ship Cannon, Sea Turtle, Sea Lion, & Dolphins. There's also one that took me by surprise called "Nice To See You". It's a man washing a window. And there's a man with a child on his shoulders with a fair mural behind them called, "Nice To See You". I'm sure I missed a few things. This was a cool unplanned discovery!

I'm definitely more of a wine novice, but Brent has an incredible depth of knowledge and explained everything in a way that was approachable and engaging--never pretentious or intimidating. It made the tasting so much more enjoyable, and I left feeling like I had actually learned something. The wines were outstanding. If I hadn't been flying home, I honestly would have bought a case to take with me. The tasting room itself is also fantastic. It's family-friendly, has a wonderfully air-conditioned indoor space (which was much appreciated in July), and a beautiful outdoor patio that's the perfect spot to relax--especially during Fiesta. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Santa Barbara. Highly recommend!
