Great fun place to eat or drink - lively bar scene. Good with kids or not. Food is very good. Place is loud and open air on all sides, but there is a roof. Popular - go early if you have kids. At night expect a wait.

A really excellent museum created by a wealthy healthcare CEO. He was not Latin, but loved everything about the culture and art. Exhibits change monthly, however there is always something worth seeing. GREAT museum store with very good prices. Worth a visit.

Essentials

Gelson's is more than an upscale grocery store - there is a famous Santa Barbara based bakery there, a bar, fantastic cooked food and an excellent flower department. Grab a sandwich and head for the roof top patio with nice views of the water.
