Help for Santa Barbara wedding lunch

Hello All,
My fiance and I are eloping in Santa Barbara in June. We would like to host a lunch for a party of about 10-14. Can anyone suggest a restaurant with great food, service and ambience/view without breaking our budget? There are so many venues in Santa Barbara that I could visit myself but I would really appreciate a knowledgeable local person to make some great suggestions. Thanks in advance!

    You might want to check out Stella Mare. They have a private dining room to handle your needs. See their web site.

      El Encanto hotel should be reopened by then. It is on a hill with stunning views of city and ocean. Biltmore hotel in Montecito also has views of water from their patio. San Ysidro Ranch is a beautiful spot, although no ocean views. Not sure about El Encanto prices, but other two will be on expensive side.
