Madeline & Jack
Things To Do
The Lark Santa Barbara
One of our favorite spots for dinner with high end food right in the middle of the Funk Zone. You will likely need a reservation but can try walking into the bar.
Loquita Santa Barbara
Farm–fresh Spanish tapas & craft cocktails are served at this busy haunt with a cozy vibe & a patio.
Santo Mezcal
Lively Mexican spot offering a seafood-centric menu with a modern twist & really good cocktails.
Arigato Sushi
Innovative sushi, nigiri & sake served in a lively brick-walled space with featured local art.
Brophy Bros. Seafood
Local seafood, a clam bar & signature Bloody Marys in a bustling, casual harborside space.
Gala Restaurant
Small plates ranging from fried green tomatoes to crudo, plus cocktails, wine, and local beer.
Flor De Maiz
Classic Mexican dishes in a laid-back restaurant offering cocktails & alfresco dining.
Third Window Brewing Santa Barbara
Great spot for lunch. Fun brewery with great burgers and a wine window. We saw Greg from "Succession" here once. He was very tall.
Topa Topa Brewing Co.
Fun brewery with a large outdoor patio. Has good options for food and wine as well.
Lama Dog Tap Room + Bottle Shop
Cool taproom offering changing taps of craft brews & wines in hip surroundings with outdoor seating.
The Good Lion
Cozy cocktail bar. Madeline was over served here.
Frequency Wine Company
Great outdoor patio for some cheeky day time wine. Tasting flights and full glasses available!
CAJÉ Coffee Roasters
Nice coffee shop to start your morning
ALESSIA Patisserie and Cafe
Best pastries in town according to Chip Zucker. Great coffee shop next door as well.
1000 Steps Beach
Really pretty beach that backs up to the cliff. Great for walks or for lounging during the day. This is a fairly rocky beach and (as the name suggests) there are a lot of stairs to get down there so plan accordingly. But the views are fantastic.
West Beach
The most accessible beach closest to where most of you will be staying. It overlooks the wharf and is a great place to lay out.
South Coast Deli-Carrillo
Jack's favorite sandwich spot
Lilly's Taqueria
Good authentic tacos for a quick lunch
Sandpiper Golf Club
If you are looking to play some golf while you are in town this is the spot. Iconic course right on the ocean. Jack shot a 77 here once.
Mollusk Surf Shop
Super vibey shop with everything from kid's clothes to surf boards to skin care.
Channel Islands Surfboards Flagship Store Santa Barbara
Fun local surf shop, they carry clothing, sunglasses, boards and more!
McConnell's Fine Ice Creams
Their flagship store, this is Jack's (and newly Ralph Jr.'s) favorite spot for ice cream. Founded in Santa Barbara over 75 years ago, they have a great selection of elevated classics. Time Magazine named it "best ice cream in the world".
Wine Country
This area of Santa Ynez and surrounding towns is close to our hearts, we celebrate our anniversary here every year! Just 40 minutes out from Santa Barbara, it has so many wineries and restaurants. We suggest having a DD (Ubers can be tough to find due to lack of service up there). -Roblar Winery: Unbelievable food, excellent wine. We almost got married here! -Melville Winery: Very serene, great wine. Their Pinot is our fave! -Babcock Wines: Next to Melville. The real draw here is the massive outdoor area with a ton of games, and the awesome vintage store on property. -SY Kitchen: Another favorite of ours for lunch or dinner! -Panino: Insanely delicious sandwiches -Bar Le Cote: Amazing food for lunch or dinner- try to get a reservation if you can (they don't have a bar). -Storm tasting room: Located in downtown Los Olivos, this entire area is fun to bop around in if you are looking for good wines/food but don't need a winery experience.
