34th Annual Convention
and Technical Symposium
Local Area Restaurants
-- only a partial listing! A walk along Cabrillo Boulevard
and up State Street will reveal an amazing number and variety of restaurants.
Most have web pages -- just insert the restaurant name into your favorite
search engine. The Yellow Pages of the Santa Barbara telephone directory
has a large section devoted to dining, with restaurant maps and menus.
Santa

to ask about reservations, or to plan an early lunch or dinner, to "beat
the crowd".
