Wordless Wednesday: View from the Stonehouse Terrace

This past Sunday, we enjoyed the Champagne brunch at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara.  We were sitting on the terrace of the Stonehouse Restaurant with this magnificent view (pictured above). Pictured below is a larger view of the outdoor dining area.

The San Ysidro Ranch Resort is one of the most unique and storied hotel properties in the world.  Jackie and John Kennedy spent their honeymoon there.  The resort sits on 500 acres nestled in the Santa Ynez Mountains.  

Lush gardens abound as you stroll around the grounds, and in the air is a feeling of  tranquility and history.  Pictured in an old olive tree, a reminder of the rows of olive trees that lined the long driveway to the valet parking area...

And yes, the brunch was a joy to the palate, as was the service.  We loved every item on the menu that we chose, and the champagne flowed and is included with the price of the brunch.

 

                              Happy Wednesday!

What a gorgeous setting for a yummy brunch.  Free flowing champagne is certainly a nice perk.

Chris Ann Cleland and the Champagne is French.  Those who prefer Prosecco (Italian bubbly) can also get that...I honor my French mother and we drink Champagne.  A

oh my gosh, Ron and Alexandra- I can see why JFK and Jackie, or anyone, would want to spend their honeymoon there. The view and the grounds look beautiful and what can I say about champagne ....my adult beverage of choice.

Kathy Streib It is one of the very best brunches we have ever been too.  It was on our to do list for a long time!  It seemed perfect for the Thanksgiving weekend.  Happy Wednesday.  A

Nina Hollander They used to have a statue of the cat that lived here, and a new cat would show up.  I did not see it this time nor the cat.  The resort was heavily under mud when we had the slides and they spent months restoring it.  I will have to ask them next time when we are there.  A
