    Great location! We enjoyed very good food, attentive service, and a super ambience. My favorite part of our early lunch experience was being able to enjoy viewing the three cooks in the kitchen while dining. The feeling here is good😊

    The smell when you walk in absolutely makes you hungrier. The Mussels were amazing along with the complimenatry bread. We also ordered the Octopus tacos, while good themselves, the 2 sauces you get don't seem to compliment them very well. Great meal overall and excellent service. Happy hour is 1130 - 330. $5 house wines and margaritas which were great!

    This place rivals top seafood restaurants in San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles and Miami. Professional staff, exhibition cooking, authentic decor and superb food prepared correctly. I had the Idaho Trout Amandine with grilled vegetables and a cup of Manhattan Clam Chowder. Fish perfectly cooked (not easy with a thin fish butterflied) almonds toasted just right and a lemon butter sauce. And I almost forgot the warm and crusty french bread slices.

    Stopped by for a bite to eat while visiting Santa Barbara. Most restaurants had a long wait until we stopped at Enterprise. They were busy but also able to seat us quickly. The food was also mostly great. The lobster rolls were tasty, but also misleading? They were bite sized and I don’t think anyone could consider a lobster roll, bite sized. The fried seafood platter was alright. I got the crab grilled cheese and that did not disappoint what so ever, lots of crab, not too much cheese, and tasty grilled sourdough. Staff was also amazing. Thanks Enterprise Fish Co.

    If you’re near this spot on a Thursday night, you have to stop in and have their King 🦀 Best I’ve ever had! They have a Thursday night special on the crab legs. The atmosphere has a cool vibe. Hubs had oysters 🦪 on the half shell and he loved them. Our server, Sara, was a delight and very energetic! For more of our Cali Hwy 1 trip check out our YouTube 📺- Goswick Lane

    This historical restaurant started in 1968, today 52 years later they still keep the same standard and wonderful spirit. The chef in photo have been there since 14 years ago. I became to know this magnificent place 40 years ago, the place is well kept and the variety of sea food is amazing. The prices are well studded and reasonable. Highly recommended if you’re in Santa Barbara.

    Discovered this place while looking for Happy Hours in Santa Barbara and we weren't disappointed. The place was busy, but we got lucky and found a table near the bar. Great selection of food on the menu and a good selection of beers on Tap. Lovely decor inside, especially the Live Bait area and kitchen area in the centre of the restaurant!

    When I walked in I was very warmly greeted by the host, a young man with a big smile and great attitude. He was excellent at communicating and my sister and I were seated in less than four minutes; however, it was all downhill from that point. FIRST, to the left of the front door the bar is located and I watched a server putting a straw in a drink and throwing the wrapper on the floor. The service was incompetent and inadvertently forgot two separate request and refused to show up to the table with a pad and writing tools to take the order to help her retention, instead she spent the entire experience apologizing. When our food arrived, my food was lukewarm and my Sister's fettucine was overcooked and lacked seasoning. My swordfish was undercooked, the vegetables were charred but raw, and the potato romano was almost cold. When we informed the server, she apologized again and had a new plate brought out 45 minutes into the experience and 15 minutes after my Sister's meal. Sad part was that I was celebrating my Sister's birthday. Needless to say, it was a horrible experience the food is incredibly bland, the bar staff are unprofessional, and the chef does not care what comes out of the kitchen. Save your money and protect your memories that you attempt to create with your family.

    While this restaurant looks amazing as it has a very casual feel to it which I love, I didn't have a good experience here. I ordered the seafood platter which was a huge letdown. For $19, there wasn't much seafood or fries in it, presentation sucked and it tasted kinda blahh. I felt like they were running out of food or something so they were dividing whatever they have left in smaller portions. Our server was nice but he would ask us every 5-10 mins if we're okay or if we needed anything else like he wanted us to leave so he can get his tip already but the restaurant wasn't even packed. I would check out the other restaurants around the downtown Sta Barbara area.

    The staff is very nice. We enjoyed very nice dinner. I may have too high expectation, I feel the food just ok. But, the IPA beers is excellent.
