Santa Barbara bachelorette dinner?

A group of 5-10 women is taking a bride to Santa Barbara for the weekend. Any suggestions on a unique, nice place for dinner before an evening out on the town? I would like to make this a memorable evening, and the dinner is going to be the beginning. Unfortunately, though, my knowledge is limited to Los Angeles and San Francisco. Thanks for your help.

I hope I'm not too late with this. Two places come to mind that should suit the evening you have in mind. The Blue Agave and Rocks both tend to have a younger crowd that tends to go out on the town after dinner. They both would work well for your size group.
