Service and atmosphere were perfect - great views and service was attentive without being intrusive. The food was average. I had the coconut shrimp which was ok. My husband and mom and one of the lobster rolls which they thought was good. I would return but only because of the location and service.

Ordered their Santa Barbara roll and a flour tortilla with about 3 tablespoons of chicken and cheese and one strip of avacado and then a whole lot of lettuce…then ordered chicken tenders, they were well done without any flavor…been coming here for years but this is probably the last time. Sad to say goodbye.

My server Zander was absolutely amazing. He was so refreshing to have as a server, and totally reminded me of myself when I was taking on dining rooms by storm. His attitude is great and it makes you want to sit and watch him work. A good example to other young men and even to experienced servers.

Any restaurant that has open seating on a pier is hit or miss. Basically servers can be sat more tables than they can handle to accommodate the customers. They were overwhelmed but Zander was fantastic!

Food was terrible! Oysters were suspect at best (we didn’t even finish them). Calamari was cooked in old oil and were so rubbery! Mussels were bland and over cooked. We should have known better with this being a tourist trap but they’ve been promoting a lot and trying to get business, so we decided to give it a go. Food was so bad we’re headed to another restaurant to have dinner since this was inedible. View is nice and service was good.

Food was pretty good. Service was pretty bad. Waiters fairly disinterested. Our 3-year old was served sour milk. I tried it. Mistakes happen, but that was pretty disgusting. No complaints otherwise with the food.

Such a disappointing experience! Ordered a bunch of different food for a group lunch including a burger, Cesar salad, fried calamari, fish tacos, clam chowder and very excitedly ordered the mussels with fries. The food took a very long time to arrive. The soup had a skin across the top when it was brought to the table and the salad was unappetizingly swimming in dressing, the calamari sticks were very nice, but the mussels were a disaster.
First, we were not given a dish to put the shells in, so we made do with the bottom dish from the calamari. Then as I went to empty the shells for my daughter, I discovered about half the shells in the plate were already empty. Then most of the mussels didn't have the beards removed, so I had to take care of that. Then I gave one to my daughter, which she ate, but then shook her head and announced no more. Strange given mussels are one of her favorite foods. Then I tasted one and discovered the sauce was inedibly salty. I hate sending food back. I know it's hard to cook and mistakes can happen but then I was presented with the bill and was reminded that I was being charged $33 for a plate of mussels from which two were eaten and a bunch of the fries had been transferred early on to a different plate. I decided to tell the waiter who at first ignored me but then asked if I wanted to send it back. It's embarrassing, but I said yes, they really should taste it to learn how salty it was. Then a different guy came out and said he took 25% off the item on the bill, still essentially charging me $25 for a handful of fries . I was pretty upset, but didn't want to make a scene, so paid the bill and moved on. Definitely will not be going back, and if you decide to go, suggest you come prepared to actually stick up for yourself if you are served inedible food!

Under new ownership and it shows. The food, service and ambience has completely changed and this restaurant has elevated itself to one of the best in Santa Barbara. So happy to have a place like this again! Congrats to the new ownership, beautiful done.

What a lovely place and a perfect service Brianna and compliment to the cook, the burger was the best I ever eat
Second visit here was very disappointing. 15 minutes before even being acknowledged. Ordered and appetizers and mains all came out at the same time. Chips (with guac) were soft/soggy, fish was super greasy, sirloin was tough as boots. Very hard to get hold of our wait staff. Great views across the bay, but still won’t be back.

Very overpriced for the quantity and quality of food. Fish and chips were undercooked and soggy. Great spot for a nice view and drinks. Save your money and go elsewhere for the food.
