Superb cioppino , clam chowder and Bloody Mary . Get there right at 11:00am to stand in line at opening, or get there later and wait for a seat at the bar (great service). Best restaurant in SB

Lisa Denten

Our Airbnb host recommended for its great fish & chips , and he's right! Go to the bar & eat off it's menu, he said upstairs dining is tourist trap. Bar cozy , cute with fast & great service! Enjoy! xo

Natalie M

Completely lived up to the hype I've heard about this place. Excellent food! Great view and very good service ! And they pour the stiffest drinks I've seen in a long time. Cheers!

Spencer Hansen

Food is excellent. Very fresh fish , which was delicious. Drinks are made strong, which makes up for the price. View is unbeatable. Service was okay given that it was busy on a Saturday.

Natalie Guerra

Get a seat outside . Great time with friends with one of my favorite views of the harbor in Santa Barbara

hinyan wong

Tasty cioppino , friendly service , lovely location. Succinct wine list (had a Santa Barbara Chardonnay which was perfect with seafood ). What not to like? Will definitely come back.

Justin Ordoveza

There’s a nice view of the marina . Go al fresco . The seafood is a must. The appetizer sampler is good for a meal for one.

Venkatesh Hodavdekar

The clam chowder was really good and so were the crab cake . Try and visit during of peak hours so that you don't have to wait long for a table.

Chris Espiritu

Love the seafood here! Ceviche was flavorful and fresh and Shrimp and Crab Salad was 👍🏼. Definitely recommend!

Rae

Nice spot on the water that the locals love! Fresh food , great staff & amazing views ! Would recommend to get a reservation or you’ll be waiting a while

CJ Boyer

A true honest locals spot ! Amazing food, views & service! If possible, at sunset sit on the putter deck upstairs facing the harbor & mountains ! Incredible place!

Jen Hatlestad

Amazing clam chowder , and their crab & shrimp salad was really good (only complaint was too many olives ). Service was fast, and at times a little rushed, but overall, a great restaurant .

Aleksandr Lisnychenko

Swordfish is excellent! Also it comes with english cream clam chowder and a bunch of salad + rice or French fries :) Outside is perfect view on Santa Barbara bay .

Thomas Rizzi

What a nice place. Really good food and so nice service. Really love this place. You should try the cold combo. The ceviche is really good

Tim Nice

Tim N.Great service, great food, a table on the deck at sun down with some freshly caught seafood dish their amazing slaw and a nice margarita is as close to heaven as you can get! If you have to que

Nick L

Try the Cioppino - My go to dish on the menu. Chalk full of seafood and an amazing tomato broth. When I think fisherman stew this is what I think of.

Kate H.

Three people. Three dozen oysters , an order of crab , peel & eat shrimp and clam chowder . Four drinks. $80. Can't go wrong!

Todd Foret

Great evening location to hang with the locals. Great service and great food. You may have to wait but the view , service and food are well worth the time.

Randy Brown

After your gorgeous meal here, if you feel like some exercise, visit the close by Los Banos pool for a dip . Just be cautious of a recent outbreak of diarrhea in the deep end.

jansen c

Sit outside and enjoy the great view with their signature seafood

Michelle Madison

Well .. The garlic shrimp made me miss New Orleans barbecue shrimp and the bake claims made me want my favorite claims dish for Don Pepe's in NY! Hummm..

Kristina

Amazing shrimp cocktail with jumbo shrimp & super potent cocktail sauce . Absolute must try!

Marshall Dennen

Brophies a SB classic best shrimp cocktail scallops all the apps.

Florian Ehlert

Nice stuff, amazing Harbour view and good & fresh seafood !

eric bornemann

Sea food is decent, the cioppino has nice sherry flavor, plus there’s nice outdoor seating . Would be much better if they took reservations .

Tom Sawyer

Clam chowder is a MUST here!! From drinks - get Dark'n'Stormy or a Bloody Mary !!

Robert Carey

The best sunset view in town with great seafood to accompany...go!

Sarah Chhum

Amazing clam chowder ! But if you want to save room for more food from their menu, get a cup of it. The bowl is huge!

Sam Sam

The clam chowder is divine. Garlic baked clams are to die for. Bloody Marys here will wake u UP. AND our stewardess was a hot cutie YEAHHH

Elle Middleton

Seabass and clam crowder are excellent! Great service! We loved our experience here.

Erika Robbins

Stopped at the bar for a quick bite before our scuba trip. Friendly service and very tasty fried fish !

Chelsea Balkan

#FabuLIST #DubiDO clam chowder , tuna salad , and seafood pasta . Cheap beers and great views . Fast service . Baked clams were overrated.

Anahita Ghorbani

Amazing sea side atmosphere, lovely waiters and delicious food!! Must visit!

Allison Li

Garlic baked clams ! And a wonderful lunchtime view

Mary Helfrich

Clam chowder is excellent! Fresh clams ...atmosphere will you remind you of being in a New England clam shack.

Juan Lalinde

The bar tenders are great! Tito's Bloody Mary is a most!

Jessica Blumenthal

Tuna melt is delicious!! View ain't half bad either.

Buri Lovelace

Clam chowder , oysters , calamari , and Bloody Mary

Maria Thomas

Beware of the corner table deck seagull. He can smell your fear. Also, browse for your new yacht next door while waiting for your table buzzer to start talking to you.

Julie Patton

Hard to go wrong with anything here but the garlic baked clams , hot platter and clam chowder are all to die for.

Raj Suri

Like everyone else is saying, the clam chowder is the best. But add a little tobasco to put it over the top. The bloody Marys are overrated.

Chris C.

Incredible views , be sure to sit on the terrace facing the harbor !

Jamie F

Holy clam chowder and garlic baked clams . Quite possibly best I've ever had

Katlan Penny

Some of the best seafood I've had. Loved the fish & chips and clam chowder .

Ramon

Must try the oyster shooter and clam chowder truly great

Jill Braun

Have the steam clams bucket and the clam chowder . Excellent!

Aprille Wright

The view is great the food OK and the service depends on who you get. It's a bit pricy for what you get. I really enjoyed the Clam Chowder .

Nat LeMoss

Make sure to get the calamari appetizer !

Rachel Dymond

Salmon salad is amazing! Great service, A+++++++ best in town !

CJ Ten Hoeve 👑

Get a table outside right on the bay , gaze at the mountains , and enjoy a nice plate of crab cakes . 
