Arts & Letters Cafe

writes...
  • The Arts & Letters Café serves classic bistro fare in a beautiful courtyard setting in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. Our chef uses the freshest local ingredients to prepare soups, salads and sandwiches in the California cuisine tradition. The Café is also pleased to offer a fine selection of California wines and a full bar. The courtyard is the main dining area of the Arts & Letters Café. The seating capacity is limited to 100 people for a formal sit down event. Seventy of the seats are outside and 30 are in the adjacent De Forest Gallery. The garden was designed in the tradition of the walled gardens of Spain and Mexico. The central fountain fills the garden area with the sound of water. Whenever there is a chill, the garden is heated. Whenever the sun is too bright, umbrellas are brought to the tables. The De Forest Gallery (adjacent to the courtyard) is particularly well suited to private meetings and serves as a secondary exhibition space for Sullivan Goss.
