“It’s the perfect combination of almost incandescently beautiful (at sunset, it’s off the charts), great energy (you can feel it vibrating) and good food. We love this place for date nights (stand at the bar, sit outside when your table is ready, rejoice if the wait is >30 minutes because you get that time together, here) and for out of town guests (I mean does it get more Santa Barbara?). The Poke is epic. And generous. And on the other side of the coin so is the burger. Who needs more?“

“Good Food - especially the Paella“

“Great food and service. Beautiful location.“

“Hands down the best poke I’ve had so far! The fish was super fresh and full of flavor, and the crab salad that came with the bowl was a great bonus. I got the medium size, and it was much bigger than I expected — definitely a good deal. Surprisingly, the place was empty when I went, which is unexpected given how good the food is. I do wish they had more add-on options, but even as is, the quality and taste are more than enough to bring me back.“

“Spot is awesome and lobster is 100% best I’ve ever had! 💯 recommend! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“My girlfriend and I were looking for a nice seafood restaurant to go to. Accidentally, came across this place and was very pleased with everything. The food was great, the service was amazing and the ambiance felt very causal and very clean. They also focused a lot of recycling and proper disposal of your trash after the meal, which we found to be impressive. Not many places do that these days!“

“called in for quick lunch with wife lovely chicken club sandwich with friendly staff highly recommended“

“Great value!

Management needs to support their staff more for when they get slammed; they know they're the most reasonably priced place for good quality seafood, and SHOULD expect getting hit.

Hadn't been here in a while. Music didn't seem as noisy.

Left VERY satisfied after having been to the old Beachside couple times. Still also a bummer Enterprise is gone. This place is holding its own.

On point oysters. Shrimp cocktail was money.“

“Great afternoon spent sat outside, drinking superb local beers and nibbling on fantastic local seafood. The service was impeccable from Eva our waitress. Cant recommend this place enough.“

“Food is fantastic and so delicious!“

“most amazing restaurant I ever been to“

“Had the Lobster Mac & Cheese this time around! So good! The Mango Margie was amazing as well! ❤️🦞🍹🥰👍🏻“

“Great service, delicious food and nice atmosphere. The guys who was playing guitar on a street was fantastic 🤗!“

“We really enjoyed our visits, I hope you get to open to full capacity real soon“

“We tried the lobster rolls at Broad Street Oyster Company, and they were really enjoyable. The rolls had a generous amount of lobster, which was fresh and tender. The buttery flavor made it feel rich and satisfying, though it was a bit on the heavier side.

Overall, the lobster rolls were a solid choice if you’re in the mood for something indulgent, though a bit pricey. Definitely worth trying if you’re craving seafood.“

“The pan-seared peppercorn-crusted filet mignon with potatoes au gratin and sautéed asparagus were as good as I've had anywhere. Thick, small and perfectly cooked medium-rare. And the thinly-sliced tomato salad was the perfect starter. We brought our own wine, but their in-house selection is outstanding. The staff were all extremely courteous and helpful. Our waiter, Dominic, was professional and attentive, and we never felt rushed. We enjoyed a two and a half hour anniversary dinner in a lovely outdoor setting and will definitely revisit when we're back in Santa Barbara! Thanks to everyone at Bouchon for a very special evening.“

“Great lunch and very comfortable“

“A great place for celebrating! You always have a great experience at The Palace“

“Delicious brunch and cocktails with attentive service. We had the eggs fungi and polenta with shrimp, both of which I recommend. The eggs, kale, mushrooms, and pistachio pesto were perfectly melded in the eggs fungi. The polenta is a great option for big eaters; we could not finish it. Cocktails (Bitterino Highball and Bloody Maria) were balanced and paired nicely with our brunch plates. Service was solid.“

“What a treat! This restaurant was conveniently located near our hotel, and we’re so glad we stopped by. The pistachio-crusted salmon was absolutely amazing—cooked to perfection and now my favorite type of crusted fish!

My husband had the smashburger and really enjoyed it. Just a heads-up: the burger doesn’t come with a side, so be sure to order one.

Their happy hour drinks were fantastic—strong margaritas and great deals! Our waiter was awesome, and the service overall was excellent. Bonus points for being super dog-friendly—they even have a dog menu! Highly recommend this spot for a great meal and atmosphere!“

“Love this restaurant, great service and their menu keeps getting better.“

“Great food great service will be back soon need to taste some more tacos 🌮“

“The recently remodeled and totally reimagined Harbor Restaurant is excellent. The clam chowder is delicious, the crispy Harbor rice melts in your mouth and the local halibut and filet mignon were amazing. The dining room and new bar are beautiful and the ocean views from every table are breathtaking. We’ve enjoyed private events and special dinners here. This place is definitely back better than ever!“

“We were a party of 4 and thoroughly enjoyed Gracie. The atmosphere and view is outstanding as we were there at dusk and into the evening. Beautiful view of the harbor and Santa Ynez Mountains. The service was excellent, never felt rushed and had a very relaxed time. The food was also excellent. In our group, we had guacamole and chips, (appetizer), citrus chicken breast sandwich, and crispy salmon. The guacamole and chips were very fresh and tasty. The citrus chicken breast sandwich was grilled and on homemade Focaccia with goat cheese. Excellent flavor and very tender. We opted for the french fries, also very good. The crispy salmon was a good size as it too was split between 2 people. It too had very good flavor and was excellent. Highly recommend and go as the day turns to dusk and into the night, just an amazing view and atmosphere.“

“We were recommend Joe's for breakfast by a bartender and we're glad we followed up on it. It's got a Ruby's old style about it but an an adult version, way way better in all respects. Great food and super nice service, a great atmosphere with tributes to famous clientele all around. Evenings probably have a good buzz, you can feel it.“

“We love Chuck’s of Hawaii. Service is perfect, everyone is so pleasant. Last night, on my 88th birthday, our son Chuck and son fChris, not here, took us there for dinner. We all raved about the ribeye steaks, cooked perfectly with a superb flavor, delicious hot baked potato and a surprise cheesecake for my birthday. That was very nice. Thank you so much.
