    This is a great little cafe off the beaten track. My friends and I have been coming to Santa Barbara for years, every year. It is minutes from the Santa Barbara airport making it the perfect place to chill right before flying out or driving in to town. The service is great and the food is delicious. I would highly recommend the ahi or seafood specials. They also have a great selection of drinks and an outdoor patio with a wonderful view of the water. Prices are fair for California. For 3 of us getting appetizers, an entree and a couple of drinks for lunch the tab came to $187 with tip. Definitely check this place out the next time you need a place to chill before flying out!

    Beachside Bar-Cafe is located in an awesome spot on the beach. The fish and chips was really good! The tartar sauce was delicious. Homemade lemonade was perfect for sipping on the sand. Staff was patient answering questions.

    My daughter and I had lunch here and the wait staff was warm and welcoming. The restaurant is beautiful with a great view of the beach. Outside seating is available, but we chose to eat inside. I ordered the almond crusted crab cakes served atop fresh cabbage slaw in an asian dressing with chilled noodles. My daughter had the hamburger with fries. Both dishes were delicious! Our waitress, Rebecca, was very friendly and prompt with service. There are separate restrooms for men & women and wheelchair accessible. There's plenty of parking which is free. We'll definitely return to try some of the other menu items!

    Pretty view, and tomato shrimp soup in sourdough bread bowl is heavenly! Super nice service, we even got a sample of seasonal soup!

    A blast!! Stayed in Santa Barbara for 4 days. 07-23-18 to 07-26-18. We came here 3 times😁 Ate dinner at the bar. Walked the pier with my hubby while waiting for food and took sunset pic. Lisa our bartender/server was phenomenal. Oysters Rockefeller was amazing and the oyster shooters were yummy. I ate a lot of oysters that week😂

    This place was really nice! I got the halibut stuffed with crab with garlic mashed potatoes. The fish was done perfectly. The prices are a little higher, between $20 - $45 ish per plate, but it is justified in my opinion. The restaurant is right next to a pier which we walked out on after dinner and had a great view. All in all I would definitely come here again.

    Great food and great service. Wait staff very knowledgeable. Clam chowder although good, did not taste like NE Clam Chowder. I guess you Must have to be from NE to get it right. Have to start with salt pork or something like it, onions, and finely chopped celery. Then a must is clam juice.

    Food was great. Service was a little slow. They never refilled our drinks. But the beach side ambience was wonderful
