34 Best Seafood Restaurants near Montecito

“Amazing experience! the food, service, and atmosphere are amazing. It was a very good experience. We tried the pearl omakaze, yes it is pricy but it was a very nice experience that we got to try. The food is very fresh and delicious. Great experience all in all. We had fun. Also, the people we dine with were awesome.“

“Go for the food! It’s over the top.“

“Come here for a nicely-furnished, attractively-lit and entirely typical Chinese restaurant experience.The staff are friendly and helpful, the ambiance is quiet and serene, the walls are red, the tablecloths are yellow, and the General Tso’s chicken is no better than the best you’ve had elsewhere and certainly no worse than any other plate you’ve eaten. It’s essentially a version of Panda Express which is upgraded in every area. You’ve got to respect the hustle. ??Probably a safe bet for business lunches, impressing your friends from the countryside, and meetings of the local Go league.“

“Food and service were great, but the atmosphere would have been a lot better if the tables were at least 6" larger and didn't have people standing at window counter within arms reach, while wait staff negotiates access in the in- between space.

Parking: Parking was very scarce, but were lucky to take a space in the alley as someone was vacating it.“

“Great food and service. Beautiful location.“

“Good Food - especially the Paella“

“Our first experience at Lure Fish House in Santa Barbara was amazing from the moment we were greeted with a smile at the front desk and escorted to a booth where our order was taken by the very personable Tony. Service and food was amazing. This was our first experience with this restaurant but will definitely not be our last. It was a highlight of our Santa Barbara trip. We plan to return and also visit their other locations. Thank you so much.“

“🥰 loved it! Had the Clams with linguine and Margarita flight!!“

“This is the second visit to Kanaloa Seafood that I’ve done and both times the food is incredible and very fresh .

Laid back no frills outdoor patio with umbrellas for a quick stop while enjoying the freshly made tacos .

This time I chose the Korean Salmon tacos with a refreshing slaw and a very good aioli with kimchi. The salmon is nicely cooked or braised (?) in the sauce making this a desirable taco . Last time I got the swordfish tacos which were equally amazing .

Parking can be a bit tricky but if you go around the block a couple times something opens up .

Will definitely be back here when I’m back to Santa Barbara .“

“Food is fantastic and so delicious!“

“most amazing restaurant I ever been to“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“Little Dom's Seafood is my very favorite restaurant -- I can't think of a restaurant that more successfully delivers on the quality of the food; the attentiveness of the staff; and overall inviting atmosphere that makes it both the perfect drop-in spot after a long beach walk or the perfect romantic dinner spot you reserved a month in advance. This is a regular dinner spot for my partner and me, and it is always our first dinner spot on the list when friends or family come to town. I encouraged my best friend to hold her wedding reception at Little Dom's and it was far and away one of the most fun, intimate weddings I've attended, not to mention by far the best food and cocktails. We also selected Little Dom's for a 12-person family-only dinner prior to my brother's wedding. For whatever occasion you have in mind, from the most casual to the most formal, the Little Dom's team will make it exceptionally special and will work with you to make it exactly what you have in mind. Can't recommend this restaurant and the Little Dom's team enough!“

“Great lunch and very comfortable“

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

“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!“
