8. Santa Barbara is an expensive place to stay, and for a price more reasonable than most SB options, I really thought the Pepper Tree was a good value.

9. You can walk across the street from the Pepper Tree to the Marmalade Cafe, its a bit more expensive and it's worth trying to see a menu in advance to be sure it has something for you.

10. Only 1 restaurant we could find within walking distance, a Hawaiian steak house, which had great food, but was very expensive- perhaps our fault for ordering the fish specials without checking the price.
