There's going to be a lot of outdoor seating for the restaurant proper, as well as a takeout counter.
I don't really get the Reunion concept given the location. It feels especially weird during COVID, when a lot of people still prefer to get food to go. From what I've read this is a sit down, table service restaurant. A delicious, fresh, yet casual counter-service restaurant seems like a more appropriate fit to me, but maybe I'm just projecting what I want. I was envisioning riding bikes there to grab a gourmet sandwich or salad and eat on the sand. Not to sit down for table service, and especially not indoors. The formality just feels out of step with the location. Hopefully they'll have a to-go window with beach-friendly eats?
I believe you toss wee children into that nook over the bed on the Mesa house - with popcorn - to watch movies?

The food at Costa is fantastic. Next best thing to Apertivo when seeking Italian cuisine but with a more spacious dining area and ocean views.
Agree.
Beautiful to ride the Union Pacific RT Santa Barbara/San Luis Obispo in the springtime. Hollister Ranch, Sudden Ranch, Cojo Jalama, VSFB, Casmalia, Guadalupe- the vast amount of open land is simply jaw dropping at times.
Pack a nice lunch and DO IT!
Public access being required at Hollister sickens me. What a misguided and stupid thing. I have no skin in the game except an interest in there being more “wild” places where nature can flourish, versus fewer. Our beaches are polluted, filled with trash and dog poop bags. People hound the seals in Carpinteria, or even let their dogs into the protected area during breeding season. Dogs (and I love them, and am an owner myself) off leash chase birds. And people leave their waste behind and let their kids use the sand at a latrine. Keeping established public access (like the story up north of the guy who tried to close off an easement trail after buying a house) is also a lot different then demanding new access. 500 people a day is absurd and the tax dollar money that will go to organizing this and operating it is crazy. Let’s keep some wild places wild. Humans have done enough damage.

Hope Valley to the Sea offers more than the feel of their website....Winemaker is who? Vineyards are where? Inspiration is what?
428 Chapala will be the new Healthy Warrior SB location.
The goal seems mostly to ban the sale of mini bottles, which lets people with money keep buying all the liquor they want.
Yep.
Thanks for a nice walk through Hidden Valley. The other great thing about this neighborhood is they go ALL IN with lights during the December holidays — both Veronica Springs Place and Las Positas Place have every house decorated. It's a really fun place to walk/drive through.
Have you ever visited the street side Frog Museum (in the Riviera) Or the Pig House (near Butterfly Beach)?
So you can get cocktails to go from bars and restaurants now and solicit the downtown area but vendors with a liquor license selling sealed product to consumers can be fined and potentially lose their license to sell?? Makes sense

Our house was on Amalfi Way. I loved that area! Not too far from the beach...not too far from the ponies at Earl Warren.

Get hooked is amazing. Hooked up more than a year ago!
The Hitchcock Cinema and Public House (Plaza de Oro Theatre).
Over the years Cava was our family favorite. We love Mandi & Carlos wish them all the best.
Pre-ordered mine, too!
I always tell people Uni tastes like the white froth on a wave rolling up the sand. They buy every time. ITS TRUE
funny, the first time i tasted uni i compared it to baby poop.
Wow. Cava is the best restaurant of their three, and such a great location. Will be a big loss for us. We so miss sitting inside at the bar.
The t-shirt from Steph- the prose is from her ORIGINAL shirts, deemed too squishy for most at the time- not to mention they were almost neon green/yellow.... So its actually a resurrection of sorts, with a new graphic on the front- the original being the diving mermaid. ?
