Stella Mare's Bistro

Stella Mare's Bistro Overview

Step through the quaint, historic house on the Bird Refuge at Stella Mare's Bistro, where French Provincial design meets casual Santa Barbara fare. Once you reach the greenhouse you will be in awe of the glass structure where you can dine under the stars, but away from the elements. The glass enclosed space needs no decoration with a cozy fireplace, providing an ambiance that can be appreciated by anyone. Both spaces are so romantic and unique as they are also surrounded by a white picket fence. In 1872, Captain W.H. Johnson built this house on De La Vina Street in downtown Santa Barbara for his family. It was moved to the site in 1962 to become an antique store for many years. Now the house is a restaurant and events are often held in the gorgeous greenhouse.
