Feed the soul with hyper-fresh and local California cuisine at Terra, serving farm-to-table dishes for breakfast and dinner. Local legend celebrates The Steward’s location as the originator of avocado toast. They honor the Sexton’s, their land’s heritage, and the stewardship of Goleta’s history with inspired versions of the avocado toast. Happy hour is also offered every Friday and Saturday from 3 – 6pm.

From elegantly simple weddings and gorgeously floral bridal showers to inspiring team-building retreats and social events, hosting an event at The Steward hotel will be an unforgettable experience. Their Garden Room provides an indoor meeting space with doors leading out to the courtyard and their lush lawns right by the historic Sexton House provides ample space for an outdoor gathering.
