Here are some places that the Four Seasons Biltmore recommends:

The Natural Café, 508 State Street:  Good for your health and your pocketbook

 Pierre Lafond Wine Bistro, 516 State Street:  California bistro cuisine designed to compliment the wines of local Lafond Vineyards.

Pierre Lafond Montecito Wine Bistro, 516 San Ysidro Road: More casual, just as delicious.

Pascucci’s Restaurant, 729 State Street:  Locally sourced, mostly organic Italian cuisine.

Anthropologie, 1123 State Street:  The high-end boutique chain offering distinctive women’s clothing and accessories.

Nordstrom, 17 W. Canon Perdido Street:  On a personal note, I have done some of my best retail therapy at this branch of the well-known national department store. Duncan has no strongly held opinions.

Santa Barbara Botanical Garden, 1212 Mission Canyon Road: Another personal favorite, a wonderful place to learn about native California flowers, trees and plants while walking your dog.

Since pet-friendly policies change, please make sure to check before arriving with your dog.
