Zagat Review
Why it's hot: Since The Lark isn’t open for lunch, stop here for wood-fired pizzas, fresh salads and sandwiches during the day. There’s also good, strong cold-brew coffee served on tap (you can even take a growler to go), and beer and wine by the glass. Order at the small counter inside, and grab a table on the shaded patio. Check out the penny wall — just not when the sun is shining. The glare can be rough.
Must-order: The pizzas are really good, especially the LP Classic with San Marzano tomato, soppressata, mozzarella, fresh oregano and chile flakes. The faro salad with grapes and arugula is light and refreshing.
Insider tip: There’s a small breakfast menu served until 11 AM, which includes housemade granola or wood-fired baked-egg dishes served in cast-iron pans with things like salsa verde, fingerling potatoes, chorizo and cotija cheese.

I was extremely happy with Sammy's limo service in Santa Barbara. They took great care of us from the time they picked us up to the very minute they dropped us off. We had an amazing time in Santa Ynez and owe it to these limo pros for making it possible. We will be using them again in the near future, guaranteed!
