I went to Enterprise Fish Company years ago and LOVED IT! The place has an unstated charm. The staff was friendly and the food exquisite. I went with a large group for the Christmas Lights Trolley Ride and we had dinner there. The service was great. I'm hoping to return

Very neat and welcoming spot. They provide generous meals and for inexpensive prices. We loved the meals a lot and the staff were very friendly and explanatory. Will definitely recommend this spot.

Very nice overall. Had pea sprout dumpling 5*, shrimp rice roll 4*, deep fried shrimp dumpling 4*, shrimp stuffed egg plant 4* and steamed golden lava bum 4*. Nice service and was not do crowded for a 4 Google star Dim Sum. They may need more non-pork dishes...

Santa Barbara is quite a place. They do have good fish and seafood, a good selection of beers, a bit noisy buy OK. it normally gets very crowded.

This place was recommended by a friend. But when I reviewed the menu in advance I knew all I wanted was the lobster bisque. It did not disappoint. Creamy bisque topped perfectly with browned and glossy puff pastry. But we're traveling on a fun day so let's order more shall we? I had a hard time deciding an entree. Eager to try a fish but apprehensive as I don't usually order many fish dishes out. My husband took on that challenge and had the crusted Dover Sole with a silky lemon beurre blanc sauce. He selected his side of lobster bisque and a baked potato. I finally ordered shrimp and felt like loading up on some veggies so had broccoli and rice as my sides. . The shrimp was mesquite grilled and tasty. My mountain of broccoli I didn't finish it was a huge portion. Still had a bit of crunch to it not soggy. We didn't get bread as I notice all the tables did but we were so full didn't really mind this. They seem famous for the bread, as I recall a disclaimer on the menu about one basket only or something like that. We arrived at happy hour and they have great bites. I am almost regretting not going that route- but there's always next time. Our server was attentive and sweet. The ambiance here is fun and the cooking takes place behind a large glass kitchen that mimics a galley in a boat I think? Anyway it's fun. Glad we selected this on our day trip to Santa Barbara But again the star here is the lobster bisque!

Great place to stop and break-up a road trip from SJ to OC...or...from OC to SJ, and down some clams, oysters, muscles and shrimp soft tacos.

The staff is very nice. We enjoyed very nice dinner. I may have too high expectation, I feel the food just ok. But, the IPA beers is excellent.

When I walked in I was very warmly greeted by the host, a young man with a big smile and great attitude. He was excellent at communicating and my sister and I were seated in less than four minutes; however, it was all downhill from that point. FIRST, to the left of the front door the bar is located and I watched a server putting a straw in a drink and throwing the wrapper on the floor.The service was incompetent and inadvertently forgot two separate request and refused to show up to the table with a pad and writing tools to take the order to help her retention, instead she spent the entire experience apologizing.When our food arrived, my food was lukewarm and my Sister's fettucine was overcooked and lacked seasoning. My swordfish was undercooked, the vegetables were charred but raw, and the potato romano was almost cold. When we informed the server, she apologized again and had a new plate brought out 45 minutes into the experience and 15 minutes after my Sister's meal. Sad part was that I was celebrating my Sister's birthday.Needless to say, it was a horrible experience the food is incredibly bland, the bar staff are unprofessional, and the chef does not care what comes out of the kitchen. Save your money and protect your memories that you attempt to create with your family.
Happy hour has the best deals (which is 4-8 ?) and usually packed by 5:30 on Fridays. Came on a Wednesday and forgot that it means $1 oysters!! I was pleasantly reminded. Seafood is fresh and delicious. A local favorite, blocks away from the beach and the funk zone. Picture of half a dozen oysters just for me.

I sent my friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. This recommendation is always successful. The the cooking is appetizing and the team is efficient and cooperative. Whenever we visit this place we pass a pleasing time. I recommend this place with pleasure.

Oysters were fabulous. Jambalaya was fabulous. Drinks were fabulous. Sorry to be lazy and use the same adjective repeatedly, but that was the theme at this place. Definitely will go back.

Lobster bisque was amazing!! This was first stop on our Santa Barbara food tour. Great beginning for sure.
