Open since 1886, the Cold Springs Tavern is easily the oldest restaurant in Southern California.

I love California History. It is a pride that surpasses national pride because our California history is much more richer and with deeper roots than the rest of the States. Cold Spring Tavern represents a fraction of that history. It is a humbling experience to eat at this Santa Barbara landmark. The drive is worth the time spend there.

What a beautiful ride! The views are amazing on the way there. There is a great vibe, and had one of the best tri tip sandwiches I've ever had.
