RESTAURANT NEWS

Openings

Los Arroyos Mexican Restaurant, a Santa Barbara favorite, has expanded to Camarillo. The new location is in The Promenade at the Premium Outlets, 630 Ventura Blvd. This marks its third location, and the first outside the Santa Barbara city limits. Los Arroyos Mexican Restaurant, The Promenade at the Premium Outlets, 630 Ventura Blvd., Camarillo, CA 93010, 805-987-4000.

"Chic tavern" rings oxymoronic, but that's the goal at Hob Nob, a new establishment that's replaced Epiphany at 21 W. Victoria. Run by the same owners, Alberto and Michelle Mastrangelo, Hob Nob offers creative cocktails, a small selection of full meals and eclectic appetizers ranging Italian-style flatbreads to ahi nachos, oyster shooters and truffled mac 'n cheese. Hob Nob, 21 W. Victoria St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101, 805-564-7100.
