The views from this restaurant are great. The place could use a few more staff, but the few that were there did a great job. The food was alright. I got shrimp tacos, and they weren't particularly inspiring, but they were alright. Others in my group thoroughly enjoyed their meals however. All in all a nice place to eat lunch.

A really cool place with good food and a unique atmosphere at the end of the peer. You can get fresh seafood like crabs and sea urchins. The kitchen is in the middle of the restaurant and you can see how the chef prepares everything at the bar

Great food, great people, honestly one of my favorite sea food experiences in Santa Barbara! Always stop by when I'm driving up and down the coast! Don't skip on this spot

This place has delicious food! We tried about 2 dishes and 2 appetizers. Everything is delicious. The service is good and everyone was kind. The views from any seat in this location was my favorite part. I would definitely go back.

The restaurant is on the harbor and good place to have some feast near the sea. The food there is just so so to me, and the price is quite high. I spent almost 200 for three guests. There are only 3 or 4 tables for 4 and they are outside. All others are bar seats and small table for two. BTW waiter will check how much tips you pay.

Wow, the lobster taco was so fresh! Sat outside by the water enjoyed the view. Will definitely come back when I visit Santa Barbara!

I'm on a road trip to LA and made a stop in Santa Barbara, looked up on google and found this place and decided to try since it's highly rated. It ended up pretty disappointing. They should not have served seafood that is not fresh considering its price. It's gross to taste stinky fried oysters with greenish black guts. For $36.95, sea urchins with scallops are tasteless. Half dozen fresh oysters for $32.95, you can find a better price elsewhere if you are traveling. Parking is free for first 90 min on the pier. But this place is not worth of your money. You are paying for its location not its food.
Cioppino is the best dish. Crab cakes are so not worth it, just a mushy mess, ton of bread and barely any crab meat? Lobster bisque is OK, ceviche is average.

Meh, over rated. Ordered clam chowder in bread bowl, uni scallops, fried seafood assortment, and Cioppino. First up, clam chowder, the chowder it self was nothing to write home about, but the bread bowl...that should have gone in the oven or warmed up, to bring it back to life, it seemed like it was from the prior day and a bit old. I have had clam chowder in a bread bowl many time prior and it was never this bad. Bread bowl too large and the hole hollowed out for chowder was unexpected small. :( 2nd up, Uni on scallop, they sliced the scallops too thin, probably 1 scallop sliced into 3 thin slices. The lime wedges under which the scallop and uni was placed on top of was over powering. For $36 it was an expensive appetizer. Next came the highlight of the meal if you call it that as it was just acceptable, as most fried thing should taste good. The oysters stood out of all the items in the fried seafood assortment, they were meaty. Every other fried morsel was just standard affair. Finally came the Cioppino, which also came on top of the dreaded stale bread bowl, which I don't know if it was stated on the menu, it could have been. I thought it was basicly going to soak up all the liquid of the Cioppino, but the Cioppino was so thick it reminded me of pasta sauce that you use for pizza. Food 2/5 Service 4./5 Overall experience 3/5

Such a beautiful place for a sunset dinner. Dining on the wharf with the waves crashing around you. They have every fresh seafood you could only dream of. Spiny lobsters that are bigger than a child. We had the rock crab and an oyster and uni shooter. The crab was so fresh you could still taste the sea. Had an amazing time until I sliced my finger on the rock crab shell. Be careful out there!

Pricey but worth it. Uni is fresh, lobster roll was on point, clam chowder was above average with chunks of clam and the wife approved the breaded onion rings.

Had my lunch here on Wednesday and it was a great experience. I arrived around 12:15pm and the restaurant was still empty. Since I didn't want to sit inside, I had to wait about 15 minutes. Obviously outdoor seating was more popular Outdoor seating was perfect to enjoy such a nice weather and the view, unfortunately it was so windy all of sudden so be sure to bring your jacket if you want to seat outside. Now let's talk about the food, I had sea urchin with scallops and Dungeness crab. The sea urchin and scallops were so fresh and delicious. I wish I could eat more than 6 pcs. The crab was so delicious and I am glad I ordered it. Overall, it was a memorable meal and I can't wait to go back to Santa Barbara again.
