On a mellow Wednesday night, my friend and I wandered into Coast Restaurant located in the Canary Hotel in downtown Santa Barbara. We both had been to the rooftop bar and pool area many times and the restaurant only once each, many moons ago. As we walked in, we were delighted to see a live jazz band all set up. We sat at the bar reveling in all the standards we love. The menu had quite a few enticing things, but all we needed was a snack so we chose the charcuterie platter which had a couple types of salumi and a whole little jar of pate (gotta work on getting accents on this thing...). It was exactly what we were looking for. Though, personally, I think the plank could have used more than 2 cornichons...
