We went to Goleta this afternoon to meet a friend and have dinner. We decided to go to the Santa Barbara Chicken Ranch in the Fairview Shopping Center. Back when we lived out there we ate at the Santa Barbara location quite often for lunch. This was the first time we went to the new Goleta location, and we were happy to find that it was just as good as the original restaurant. The interior was similar, but larger with a bit more space. We all gave it a thumbs up and would go there again.Deane and I had talked earlier about the fact that there weren't that many ice cream or frozen yogurt places any more. Back when we were in high school and college there were a couple in the area that we went to quite a bit. Swenson's Ice Cream was on Calle Real about a half mile away and there was a frozen yogurt place in the Fairview Shopping Center. Lo and behold - Deane spotted a sign for a Carvel's Ice Cream two doors down! We went over and got some ice cream. The place was very clean, the service was good and the ice cream was great. Definitely a place we'll be going to again. They also had some cool ice cream cakes - we thought about getting one, but it probably wouldn't make it home to Ventura.
