Stella Mare's Restaurant in Santa Barbara, California

Reviewer: Lori Whitford from Winchester, CA
My family and I had lunch at Stella Mare's on 12/4/05. I was absolutely impressed by the service, decor, and the presentation of the food. The food was incredible. My whole family could not stop talking about how beautiful this restaurant was. Just the presentation alone was amazing. The taste of the food was fabulous. The staff was wonderful! We drove from Los Angeles to have lunch at Stella Mare's and it was worth the drive!

Come to Our House…

…“Overlooking the Bird Refuge in Santa Barbara, a glass greenhouse, sofas by the fire and the freshest wine country cuisine. Casual, French provincial décor, excellent American wine list, and a great full bar.

In 1872, Captain W.H. Johnson built this house on De La Vina Street in downtown Santa Barbara for his family. It was moved to this site in 1962 to become an antique store for many years. Since 1996, as Stella Mare’s...we call it home. The idea behind our renovation was to restore this beautiful old house and re-create a setting that was comfortable, welcoming, and a casual expression of Santa Barbara.
