“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!“

“I went for their Sunday/Monday omakase and it was a wonderful experience!

The atmosphere was dim and moody, but bright enough for me to see, my eyes do not do well in very dim places, the vibes were excellent. To see 'Howls moving castle' playing made me feel like I was in a safe space. The omakase was very intimate but also warm and welcoming because of the staff.

The omakase itself was a dream, my only wish was that I had double the serving of fish. Everything on the menu was spectacular and cared for by the chef. This experience has made me so grateful, I will definitely be returning to the Rodeo Room for a drink, a bite, or even the omakase again!“

“We had such a wonderful experience working with The Cruisery for our recent corporate event in Santa Barbara! From the planning process through the event itself, their team was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with.

The food and drinks were fantastic, the space was perfect for our group, and the team went above and beyond to make sure everything came together seamlessly. As an event planner, having a venue partner you can trust makes all the difference, and The Cruisery absolutely delivered.

Our guests had a great time, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We highly recommend The Cruisery for private events and group gatherings in Santa Barbara. We look forward to working with them again!“
