Bacara Resort's Great Cuisine, Santa Barbara, CA

About the photo: Staying at Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara is more than just a luxury ocean view from your villa -styled room. It's about the cuisine, which includes seafood such as lobster, crab, and scallops, or maybe a filet or steak.

 While people may wonder what this has to do with events in March, the point of posting food is to offer you an idea of where to visit and what to taste.

Travel is about a number of things that include a nice hotel room, shopping, and dining. You may have budgetary restraints that require you eat at less expensive cafes, but when you want to splurge, do try the restaurants at Bacara.

We've tried four different dining experiences at the beachfront resort--outdoor poolside lunch at Spa Cafe, catered menus for conferences, restaurant menu selections such as the meal pictured at The Bistro, and fine dining at Miro, named after the famed artist whose work appears in the restaurant.
