EAT:

Luckys -
high end steakhouse but offers super yummy breakfast and dinner.  

Finneys Crafthouse and Kitchen -
if you’re looking for a fun bar – go here for a beer and watch some football !! if that’s what you’re into…

Shaker Mill -
This is a perfect spot for a day with the girls ! When I picture walking around SB it includes a drink from Shaker Mill.

Mexican food !!!! Order the large spicy margarita and then order a burrito with the chipotle sauce. I could bathe in it. YUM !

Mid-week pick me up or weekend wine-down ?! perfect spot.

Backyard Bowls -
One of my favorite places to grab a Pitaya or Acai bowl.

honor bar - A really consistent spot. Order the burger and a martini ! Best for groups of 3 or less.

STAY:

Rosewood Miramar Hotel - This place is one of the most beautiful hotels i’ve ever seen. With a pretty price tag too! However, if you want to experience the hotel without paying for a night’s stay, “resort pass” offers pool access for an entire day for $100. You can enjoy the amenities. Another option is spending the day in SB and then going to the Rosewood beach bar for a sunset cocktail. Be sure to arrive about an hour before sunset if it’s Summer because it gets packed !

Hotel Californian - In a beautiful location right next to downtown SB, this hotel offers a super relaxed and beachy atmosphere. I highly recommend staying here if you want walking/biking access to almost everything in SB!

Montecito Inn -
This hotel is super small and in the luxurious town of Montecito. I really enjoyed staying here because the town is super walkable!
