CARPENTERIA (SANTA BARBARA) SLY'S


RATING: 5 out of 5!
SLY'S CARPENTERIA is by far the best hidden treasure you will ever find!
Located on a corner in the sleepy beach town of Carpenteria (Kevin Costner lives here!) is this unassuming New England style gem.

Their menu is a mix of prime steaks, pastas, seafood and specialties. Every dish is so good that you will want to eat here every night of the week just to sample everything! Adding to your choice dilemma is they have Blue Plate Specials that remain the same every week. Examples - Filet Mignon meatloaf (Mondays), seafood & shrimp gumbo ( Tuesdays),Cioppino (Fridays)

Chef ( and owner) James Sly doesn't stop there. The appetizers, the desserts and even the wines are world class. If you stop by the bar you can get the finest wines by glass as recommended by the solemner-quality bartenders.

The atmosphere is beach casual and relaxed. The nearly all-white decor makes the intimate space seem open and comfortable. And the service is always small community friendly.
