(Overview)

With a laid-back vibe and high-profile residents, Santa Barbara exudes quiet glamour. There’s no better place to treat valued clients to a relaxed and memorable time than on a Lip Smacking tour to three of the city’s most acclaimed restaurants, all in one effortless outing with complete VIP service.

 

We take care of everything, so there’s no fussing with trying to secure group reservations on your own. With our exclusive partnerships with the best restaurants in town, we’re actually able to offer reservations that others cannot. Our experiences come complete with a professional guide, too, to lead your clients to each restaurant, entertain with fascinating stories about sights along the way, and ensure everything runs smoothly.

This experience takes guests to the city’s Funk Zone, a hip industrial neighborhood teeming with historical buildings, art galleries, and top restaurants.

The three restaurants featured may include: The Lark Santa Barbara, which garnered a Michelin Guide recommendation and a “Best Restaurants in Santa Barbara’’ nod in 2025 by Eater Los Angeles for its seasonal cuisine focused on fresh Central Coast ingredients; Pearl Social, an intimate cocktail destination with handcrafted drinks plus DJs and live music; Rare Society, a retro steakhouse with an edge of sophistication that boasts a wood-fired grill, dry ager, and sustainably-sourced seafood; Loquita, whose spotlight on authentic Spanish cuisine won it a Michelin Bib Gourmand designation and a “10 Best New Restaurants’’ honor from USA Today; or Santo Mezcal, a locals’ favorite that serves modern Mexican cuisine with local ingredients and what many consider the best Margarita in town.
At each restaurant, a dedicated waitstaff will be at the ready to welcome your clients and meet any need. At each restaurant your clients will receive immediate seating at the best tables to savor a parade of signature dishes, including decadent desserts at the final venue.

An optional beverage package is available that provides a pre-selected craft cocktail promptly at every establishment. While guests are free to order their own drink at each restaurant, this convenient package guarantees no waiting or disruptions.

A Lip Smacking experience lets clients really enjoy an expansive taste of the city in all its vibrancy. As a bonus, clients can sit next to different colleagues at each restaurant. Because even when they’re surrounded by sun, surf, and mountains, we know clients still want to network and converse, so why not do so in the most easy and relaxing way?
