The Lark

Housed in a former fish market in the Funk Zone, the Lark has become the restaurant to eat at in Santa Barbara. It’s a celebration of the Central Coast with a seasonally changing menu—the constant being a menu that’s split between “the farm,” “the ocean” and “the ranch.” If you can’t score a reservation here, at least consider a stop at its sister pizza shop, Lucky Penny, located right next door.
