We’ve teamed up with Jack Johnson, celebrity singer, surfer, and environmental activist, to highlight his favorite OT restaurants that work to keep our oceans clean and safe. Check out why these spots made his top 10 and join us in celebrating Earth Day!

Bouchon - Santa Barbara
4.7 (5526)
$31 to $50
Californian
Santa Barbara
We are delighted to have added additional outdoor seating but Santa Barbara nights are chilly so bring a sweater or light jacket!

Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care. Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine. Warm, inviting ambiance, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace. Santa Barbara ‘Wine Country Cuisine’ means we source our ingredients using an ‘as-fresh-and-as-local-as-possible’ approach, with fish from the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from the surrounding countryside. We then take into account how these flavors can be presented in concert with our local wines. We believe you’ll taste the difference. Bon Appètit!

Great experience, perfect acoustics, outstanding wine list, menu even though not extensive it was very balanced… service very good… did not rush customers and explained thoroughly when inquired regarding the specials of the day.

Brenneke’s is a place we visit each time we are in Kauai. Over the years, the number of fresh fish offered has declined significantly, but that seems to be everywhere. The food was fine, well worth the price, and the service was strong.

Honolulu
2022 James Beard Award Winner for Best Chef Northwest & Pacific.

Rooted in the local farm-to-table movement — a place where seasonality and culinary tradition are celebrated in tandem. One part Hawaii and one part Brooklyn. The atmosphere shares a brasserie feel with a laid-back island sensibility—a celebration and homage to all of our favorite things we enjoy eating and drinking.

Crafted with brick & reclaimed wood, our urban Hawaiian farmhouse features an open kitchen, lush plant wall, brick walls, and lots of natural light in a historic Chinatown building. The bar mixes classic and modern cocktails with artisanal flare with a well-curated wine list.
