Dining room at Seagrass Restaurant, Santa Barbara, CAThe concept behind this fine dining seafood restaurant is simple: precise execution of locally-sourced fresh, seasonal ingredients. The menu is refreshingly tight, with only about four seafood entrées available any evening. Selections such as baked halibut persillade and caramelized diver scallops anchor the main courses, which do include a few terrestrial dishes, including crispy Muscovy duck leg confit and a Wagyu flat-iron steak. The wine list is fairly limited as well. Pairings are suggested for first courses, the highlight of which is Maine lobster poached in Champagne and butter, served with smoked hanjuku egg, apple-wood smoked bacon and sherry sauce accented with tomato and a hint of curry. The room is warm and unpretentious, and the comfortable chairs lend to the relaxed yet refined ambience.
