doin’ the dine˜ around After a long day of meetings, it’s time to unwind and head out on the town for a dinner session. To satisfy every palate, attendees can split into smaller groups of eight to 10 and enjoy dinner at restaurants located near each other, then perhaps meet up later for a nightcap (see “Top 10 Cocktails” on p. 14) or a late-evening latte (decaf, of course). Some restaurants offer attractive private dining rooms for large groups. Pedestrian-friendly Santa Barbara, Montecito and the Santa Ynez Valley are perfect dine-around destinations, offering up a smorgasbord of restaurants, from down-home to sophisticated and from French/Asian to Cajun. Local bounty is the focus, with fresh fruits and vegetables hand-picked from farmers markets, just-off-the-boat fish and award-winning wines from the Santa Barbara Wine Country. Wherever you’re staying, you’ll find a dynamite dine-around to wow your attendees. 12 the source | INSPIRING MEETINGS & EVENTS IN SANTA BARBARA ✱ Opal Restaurant and Bar Upscale but not uppity, this is the go-to spot for sophisticated yet comfortable ambiance, fabulous food and friendly, efficient service.
