We've been back to the Santa Barbara Yacht Club many times since my last review, always rolling…read morewith our sons and their grandparents, and often with other family, too. It's a great default for an easy kid-friendly lunch or dinner, with pleasant atmosphere, friendly (if reliably slow) service, and a view of the harbor that never fails to entertain the four-and-under crew. The food is solid, and has gotten better since my first visit, thanks to a new chef. There's a one-bite uni and puffed rice appetizer that's always a nice treat, and I like the meatballs and shrimp cocktail and coconut shrimp too. I haven't settled on a go-to entrée, but everything has been pretty good. I can't remember everything I've had here, but I've enjoyed the linguine and clams, the curried chicken salad, and the monthly lobster dinner with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The kid's menu works well for my boys, who eat the grilled cheese, the chicken tenders, and the butter and marinara pastas. Honestly, I'd like the yacht club even if the food kind of sucked. My father-in-law got married here a couple years ago (bride and groom were youthful and glowing at 77 and 79), and it was a lovely venue for a small wedding, with the ceremony and the dinner on different floors of the club. When they're not getting married, he and his wife seem to treat the place like an extension of their home. The people know them and always greet them warmly, which my husband and I appreciate. The yacht club is now one of our default restaurants when we're in town, and both of our boys have grown to know and like the place. It's a nice, comfortable spot in the heart of beautiful Santa Barbara, where my husband and I can enjoy a leisurely drink (the wine pours are quite generous) while the kids hang out with their grandparents. We've already made lots of memories here, and I expect we'll make many more in the years to come.

Kayla at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club helped us host the most wonderful welcome party! The venue…read morewas absolutely perfect for kicking off our wedding weekend. Since we're both from Santa Barbara, we really wanted to show off our beautiful hometown to all our family and friends, and the Yacht Club was the ideal spot to do that. The waterfront setting was exactly what we dreamed of for bringing everyone together, and the service throughout the evening was fantastic. Our guests had such a great time, and we heard so many comments about how beautiful the location was. Kayla made the whole planning process so smooth and easy, and was incredibly accommodating when we had to adjust our timeline due to my cancer treatment. The welcome party really set the perfect tone for the whole weekend--it was intimate, beautiful, and gave everyone a chance to mingle before the big day. Highly recommend the Yacht Club and Kayla specifically for any special event!
