Petit Valentien at 1114 State Street #14, Santa Barbara, California.

This place was recommended to us by the chefs (Nate) brother who we met on the train. We weren't sure what to expect and we were very pleasantly surprised.
2 if us had the duck breast which was cooked to perfection, moist with a crisp skin and the third in our party had the crispy chicken thighs that she is still talking about.
The waitress was attentive and suggested a lovely petiteaster sirah.
It was a memorable meal and we look forward to eating there again.
