Best cut of beef I've ever had. Period. If you're anywhere near the Santa Barbara area, it's worth the 40 min. drive to either. Be sure to get the ostrich appetizer too... then follow with the BBQ artichoke appetizer

But add to my list Jockos, just up the highway from Buellton, in Nipomo. Incredible. And the entire meal, including wonderful central coast wines, won't hit $40/person.
