Love the preferential treatment for being a single diner . Couples and more have to go on a wait list, singles are found a table immediately. A novel approach. Loved the ceviche .

Patti Pardo

We had a great breakfast at Moby Dick. We had the Denver and Santa Barbara omelet and they were both delicious. There are great views from every table.

We've been here for a breakfast and enjoyed it a lot.good espresso machine,omellettes,but for the ham ones.season fruits salad is nice as well with strawberries ,pineapple,cantaloupe and grapes .

Jose Rivas

Had the Red Tsunami and a cup of lobster bisque and it was delicious! My other party members had the Rockerfeller Steak and are raving about it!

Lau V.

Vero good food and service. Great view of sunset from the sea. Choose window seats .

Pranay Srinivasan

The yellowtail catch of the day was not very good. The clam chowder was excellent. Pro Tip: try and stick to the menu, you should be fine.

Kathie Hancock

The sourdough bread is amazing.

Scott Hoyer

Perfectly fine for breakfast . Nice view . Um doesn't that look tasty?!

Heather Cassady

Don't believe the negative comments, if you're looking for a peaceful view to soothe your mood pick here and eat the swordfish steak or lobster .

Crab cakes are a lot of filler, which makes them over priced!

Erin Custer

Good happy hour !

Tim Sullivan

Lobster Bisque is a risk....I wouldn't if I were you

miguel flores

Excellent,,, don't believe haters !!!!

Ebony Shanks

The food & service was eh, the view is spectacular! Don't order the crab cakes !

Andrew

Clam chowder was superb albeit too thick and salty. Everything else is too mediocre to mention for the price point. Wish we would have dined elsewhere.

Fran Setbacken

Worst service ever. I have lived here 30 years and always go there for the view . No more. This place is a HUGE tourist trap. Don't go!

katie d

Great views , but there's better seafood in SB. It's more expensive than its worth. Go for breakfast .

Devon Bowman

Watch out for the Moby Chili Size burger .. It's enough to feed an army.

Rhea Bea

The dungess crab meal is great for $19.95!

Scott Appel

Skip it. Oddly, you can get better fish in the desert than here.

areUKellin'?

DO NOT EAT HERE! the food is tasteless, the worst fish and chips ever! to believe this place is a seafood restaurant on a pier and they can't even get it right! what a shame!! HORRIBLE!! KEEP LOOKING!

Paul Styrna

Don't bother with the wings ! Not good, not fresh, not even a good deal at happy hour .

R Shroll

Yogurt and Fruit for 13.95. Really? There menu is out of whack with reality.

Alt Thomas

If you can't get a good view , walk away from this place. The food is meh and service awful.

Dayle H

Average food.. more about the view

Lavera Vincent

Fish & Chips not very good.

Angela Retamoza

Quite possibly the worst music I have ever heard

Angela Retamoza

The worst music ever, even worse than natural cafe .

Katia Takemiya

Pão francês fresco . O prato que escolhemos foi bem caro pelo tamanho da porção que recebemos. A bebida da criança é o mesmo preço do adulto, mesmo vindo menos. decoração interessante e a vista bonita.

Alpay Alphan
