    I had reservations at 6pm and got here early and the restaurant was able to accommodate us for dinner. We sat and overlooked the ocean as this restaurant is at the end of the Santa Barbara Pier. We found parking without a problem and the first 75 minute of parking is free. We celebrated a birthday here and everything and our waitresses was awesome.

    Pleasantly delighted to have tried this place. Just visited the area from LA. It was nice having seating indoors over the water with a nice great view. Really enjoyed everything we ordered. Glad we tried things on the regular menu and from the specials. I was a little disappointed in the Seafood Platter for Two. Yes, it looked good and it was a large serving. Just wish it wasn't all fried. The fried fish was a bit over cooked and dry. Other than that the other dishes and drinks were amazing.

    We went here for a surf and turf option. Got the rock crab and the 1/2 burger. Waitstaff was lovely and helped us to our seats. A little pricey but an expectation as this is on the pier.

    Nice restaurant on the Pier. Nice view, we were given a table by the window. No seats inside and were seated outside, no umbrella provided. Food was not bad, had a good time

    Great place to eat seafood! Oysters was awesome 👌 The service was really great 👍 Just few steps from downtown, not especially expensive. I'll be back! For sure!

    Best time ever. Food was great. Service was excellent. I would put 10+stars due to Lee excellent customer service. She made us feel welcome and well taken care of. If you want to treat your love one to a wonderful meal and service go to this place and you won't be disappointed. Management please give Lee a raise she is a prime example of excellent customer service. She cares about her customers and go above and beyond. She even sing happy birthday to my husband and made it so special. Thank you Lee, Santa Barbara is now our favorite place to go.

    The best place to enjoy fish and chips with amazing views of the boats and ocean in the front and on the other end Santa Barbara city view. They got all amazing sauces and according to your taste buds. Service was too good and friendly staff.

    Food was okay, is not something I would come back to. It was nice to try it, have the experience, might be different for you. Service was amazing, very attentive and timely. Atmosphere, I sat outside in the shade and I loved it, it was a good day weather wise. Calamari’s were good, i felt the freshness. The Lobster roll didn’t feel fresh for some reason and the seafood roll was really good, except the bread I didn’t think it was a good mix, I would have preferred it over a taco or burrito.

    The view was beautiful, the restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere, but I wasn’t really impressed with the quality of the food. The chowder was really good, but the rest of my meal was lacking. I ordered a medium NY steak with jumbo shrimp, sautéed vegetables, and mashed potatoes. The steak was pretty thin, well done, and had a bit more gristle than I would like. The flavor was pretty good, though. The shrimp were much smaller than what I would consider “Jumbo Shrimp”, They were cocktail size at best. The vegetables seemed like they were steamed, not sautéed, and the mashed potatoes were a bit bland and nothing special. The service was good. It wasn’t a bad meal, but definitely not worth what I paid! I would go back for the chowder but that’s about it.

    Driving from LA we decided to do our first stop here. We were looking for breakfast but sadly is closed at 11 AM. So we gave it a try their chicken linguine, was delicious!! My son had fish with fries for only 9.99$ for a very fair portion. Martha gave us a great service and the view was very cloudy but can imagine in sunny days this is a nice ocean-view place! And last, my mom brought one of their pull-up sweaters, very comfy.

    Disappointing. Great views and vibe but lacking in the food. I got fish tacos and they were bland. They charged way too much for what they gave me. The service was friendly and fast though. It’s sad when a restaurant like this underperforms in the food because they can. People will come because of its location. If this place wasn’t located on this beautiful pier, it wouldn’t stay open in my opinion. If the food were delicious and worth the price point, this is an easy five star location.

    Had a small group here for lunch and had a good time. We were seated over looking the water, which was nice. Staff were very attentive and got our drinks and order in quickly. The seafood roll was okay. I would probably get something different next time. My wife had a vegan burger and said it was amazing. Also, I heard from the table that the chowder was good as well. Might be worth another visit next time we're in town.

    First of all, our server Raoul was a champion. Not sure if the restaurant was understaffed or if it’s normal, but he was handling all the tables and us in a timely fashion. In terms of the price, it was not worth it. Other than the oysters, the seafood roll and tacos were both bland. They were lacking in flavour and overall presentation.

    Nice restaurant at the end of Santa Barbara’s piers. Service was very nice. The restaurant itself and the view as well. However the quality of food comes short. Fries were overcooked and hard. The seafood sandwich missed creativity. A leaf of green salad, some decoration, would have made the difference. Thus it was fast food level. The burger was nice though. Price way too high for the quality we got.

    Really nice place to meet up with family and friends. The food was good but not great. We ordered steak and lobster, and the steak got the price over cooked and not as tender as a medium should be. I would go back to try it because we all know that things are not always perfect.

    The service and location is great. Went here for lunch and it was easy to get a table. The food was quite good! Loved they had some drawing stuff for my child.

  • 5/5 Brian S. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was great. Waiter was First Class, food was excellent. Bacon-wrapped shrimp, mashed potatoes, and steamed veggies. A glass of cabernet, a Blue Ocean Mile cocktail, and a glass of iced tea to wash it down.

    I loved the clam choder at the restaurant and the bowl made of sour dough bread was delicious. Lobster was just so so. Servers were pretty good.

    The food was great. An actual value on the wharf. We sat at 5:15 before the dinner rush and seated by the window. Our server was efficient happy and on point.

    The food and service was great our waiter was running around with his head cut off but he gave us great service he looked like he was running the place. The food was actually really good compared to what I thought was going to be.
