Best Restaurants for Groups in Carpinteria

Always amazing food! The fish is always fresh, all the flavors are balanced and intriguing.

Food and service was great - highly recommend the prime rib special (Sundays), deviled eggs, Caesar salad, and catch of the day (Snapper). Super tasty food and attentive service. We sat at the communal table at the bar since we had a dog with us and it was too cold to sit outside.

Went to dinner with my family for my Birthday. And talk about family? They made us feel so welcome and even surprised me with a Birthday dessert! I have been here before on other trips to SB, but truly felt the love and warmth from the ladies that greeted us and waited on us. Food was amazing as well. Can't wait to go back for another visit. Thank you again.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the central coast vicinity. Highly recommended and reservations a must. The best eggplant parmesan and one of made like cannoli instead of slices. Not on the menu, but made to order is the best carbonara Italiano around.

I love Stella Mare's...have been going there for more than 20 years...and I'm very sad that it is closing on January 1st. The old French country house ambiance is so enjoyable, and the food is wonderful. I truly hope they will find a suitable new location in Santa Barbara and reopen soon. It's especially troubling that the building will become a Mexican restaurant. I love Mexican food, but it's not as if we don't already have more Mexican restaurants than a town the size of Santa Barbara could possibly need! Farewell, Stella...hope to see you again soon.
