The recently remodeled and totally reimagined Harbor Restaurant is excellent. The clam chowder is delicious, the crispy Harbor rice melts in your mouth and the local halibut and filet mignon were amazing. The dining room and new bar are beautiful and the ocean views from every table are breathtaking. We’ve enjoyed private events and special dinners here. This place is definitely back better than ever!
I had the swordfish. The dish was superb! The fish was properly cooked -- in other words not over-cooked. The plating was excellent. The amount was just right. It exceeded my expectations. I also had one of their creative cocktails. I was seated where I could watch the bar tender. He really seemed to enjoy his job. And the drink he made me was excellent. My server was attentive without hovering. I was by myself and I enjoyed being given space to enjoy my meal in peace. Overall,...read full review
From the moment you walk in you are met with class, elegance, and a stunning view of Santa Barbara Marina. Our server was excellent- he recommended the blackened rib eye and it was delicious. We paired it with the beet goat cheese salad and nothing was left! Apple Tart for a birthday dessert was a special treat that made this birthday meal a complete.

The restaurant has two dining areas: the upstairs space, which is open and casual, and the recently renovated downstairs area, which promises a classy and sophisticated setting. The menu features a variety of dishes, including Baja fish tacos, charcoaled lobster tail, and prime rib roast. The Thanksgiving feast is a highlight, with a buffet spread that includes raw oysters, clams, and shrimp cocktail, as well as traditional Thanksgiving favorites. The breakfast menu is also a hit, with dishes like fully loaded breakfast with hashbrowns and a giant stack of ham. Recent visitors praised the fresh fish served over mashed parsnips with light sauce and the delicious ahi tuna appetizers. The restaurant's stunning views and delicious food make it a popular choice, though some mention that it can be noisy. The harbor view is especially beautiful during sunset, and many guests find the atmosphere warm and welcoming.
