We held out on eating out and this was so worth it, just perfect and quality. Future birthdays and family gatherings will be here! First day we got happy hour oysters, uni, crab claw, fish and chips, bowl of chowder. Oysters were so fresh and delicious. Uni was remarkably sweet and creamy and sea fresh. Perfect fry on the fish and fries complemented raw plate. Chowder also delicious. Everything came out quickly and looked so good I didn't know where to start! We came back the next day as part of our staycation:) we got some more oysters because why not! lobster roll was the highlight, buttery roll and packed full of lobster. Calamari was great, loved the addition of fried peppers. Fish market really has their fry nailed down. Albacore crudo was good but our least favorite, would have preferred a more delicate marinade over the soy chili crunch and will likely order sashimi next time instead The guy helping us out at the cashier was super welcoming. Service was friendly and no frills just the way we like it! Thanks for the fun time out!

The folks working there were friendly and welcoming. The fish displays had good variety and the diver scallops were HUGEEEEEE. Ordered to eat in: lobster roll, fish and chips, bowl of chowder, and a side Caesar. Came out to just under $70...felt pricey. When the food came out, the lobster roll was a fair size, chowder was generous, the fish and chip was HUUUUGGGEE. The side salad was a generous portion, worthy of being an entree size. The food was good, outside seating allowed our furbaby got to hang out with us. Help yourself water, and they had a dog bowl, bonus points! We'll come back next time we are in town to visit family.

Prime spot by the pier and parking is free as the very best part!

That's what caught my eye and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I also loved the seasoned chips and fries. the portions were good, and the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. I had trouble with the bathroom because at first i was given the wrong code, but I wasn't sure if it was me or the code so I tried a few times until it locked me out, and then I was given the correct code but I was locked out and the employee said I had to wait a few minutes. I ended up just leaving because I wanted to get on to my next errand and I knew I could go there. Anyway, good food, polite and professional staff, clean restaurant, easy to find location, parking behind the restaurant, and fair prices. I would stop here again!

They don't take reservations so we knew we would have a wait, but that wait turned to be less than 10 minutes. We were seated on their patio which has a front row view of the pacific. There were six of us. Several of us started with a wedge salad - delicious. Lobster bisque - outstanding. For entrees we had mussels, fish & chips, tuna melt, shrimp cocktail, ceviche and a lobster roll. All of our food came out the same time, nice and hot or chilled. Everything was tasty. We all loved everything that was ordered. The service was excellent too. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this place if you are in Santa Barbara.

As a caveat, I visited this establishment on an extremely busy UCSB graduation weekend. However,…read morefrom my experience, I could not imagine the food is good even on a normal day. Given the circumstances of the busy weekend, I'll skip the details of the wait. The staff here was incredibly kind and accommodating (except for the small mistake of serving up our food before utensils but they were quick to fix this). Now, the food! My table ordered a Cioppino, seafood pasta, and a tuna club. None of which I enjoyed! Tuna club: the fish was dark and tasted of literally nothing. Cioppino: sauce / soup was super underwhelming and seafood not fresh. Seafood pasta: the pasta noodles were overcooked and sauce tasted like it came from a can. The view with ocean backdrop is nice BUT you can get a similar view at other establishments in the area (such as the various restaurants on the Santa Barbara pier).

It's a relaxing and casual ramen shop that also offers sushi and rice bowls, so you get plenty of options! Their broth is cooked for 24 hours, so the flavors were deep and super creamy. They're also pretty generous with the protein! My husband ordered extra, as we assumed there might not be enough (our usual experience at other ramen shops), but we definitely did not need it! I was sad that I couldn't finish my bowl - I was already stuffed halfway through! The pork shoulder and pork belly were so tender and fell right apart. The staff were very nice, welcoming and provided quick service.

Both very generous portions and very good service! In my opinion, their broth is a little on the saltier side. The texture of the noodle was great but taking a spoon full of the noodle with soup was too salty for me. The ramen salad is a good sized portion with noodles and lots of green and pork. The idea is a little weird but works? Would get if it was I wanted something on the lighter side

We arrived around 11am and there was a 15 minute way for a table for 4. There are several parties waiting outside already. We oredered coffee, beignets, kids French toast, crawfish etouffee, breakfast burrito with chorizo, and breakfast burrito with bacon and smothered with chili. Of all the dishes we ordered, we felt most of the food is a bit lacking. The powdered sugar beignets are bite sizes and the flavor stood out was a bit salty and dry. the bacon in the breakfast burrito was so hard and dry it's hard to enjoy it. I felt the crawfish etouffee was very decent. But it was very spicy this time. The service was great and staff was friendly. But maybe next time we will try some other breakfast/brunch options next time.

It was an open layout that had plenty of seating inside the restaurant. The decor was moder, but not overdone. We were greeting and pointed to a table but that was it. We realized there was a QR code on the table and we could order our food on there. It took a little while to get our food even though no one else was there. I found it really odd to not even be told to use the QR code to order or be informed of anything. Stewed beef noodles with Ramen- 9/10 My husband ordered this and I tried some. The broth was delicious. Rich and flavorful but not overbearing. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. The bok choy was a needed touch. My husband ate the whole bowl and wanted a second because was so good. Certified Angus Beef hot pot- 8/10 I ordered this with the tom yum broth. I didn't know it was a creamy version of the broth until it was served. I'm not mad about it but it wasn't in the description in case others are dairy sensitive. The broth was flavorful and really delicious. I will say that the beef was tough and it a typical cut that overcooked very quickly in the broth. I'm not positive it was Angus beef grade. I just now realized it was missing the lotus root but gave me zucchini instead. I was also missing my quail eggs. If I didn't read the description to know I was supposed to have them, I would've missed that too. Overall, the food was delicious but the service was 1 star for sure. We were never checked on and the waiter only appeared if we pushed the call button. If you can overlook the lack of customer service, the food is really delicious.
