Blackbird

WINNER

Blackbird is an upscale dining experience inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s cinematic masterpieces—a striking yet inviting space designed by the iconic celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Red and black tiles sweep the floor, while modern chandeliers generate an inviting glow over the tables and elongated bar. The kitchen is helmed by the inventive Executive Chef Travis Watson, and serves up sustainable, seasonal dishes that pay homage to California’s Central Coast, complemented by innovative cocktails that offer a subtle nod to Santa Barbara’s history. Blackbird not only elevates local flavors but also features an impressive selection of local and international wines and craft beers.
