The salmon poke bowl was the BOMB. By far the best poke bowl I've had in my life. If you're a fan of clam chowder, you'll love this place. The service was great, and everyone was very welcoming with a smile. Santa Barbara Fish Market is a 10/10. If you haven't tried it, you need to go now. Would definitely come back here again!

I'm thankful…read morethat the staff was very nice and that when my friend accidentally left her credit card, they were quick to flag and kept it safe so we can come back to pick it up. Foodwise, dishes were good overall. Some like the Brussel sprouts were a bit on the saltier side but overall good portions. I love that it's close to the shore and has excellent views. Prime spot by the pier and parking is free as the very best part!

What does The Elwood, Holiday Inn, truck stop coffee, and any movie with Kevin Bacon, have In…read morecommon? They're all meh. Are there worse restaurants, hotels, coffee and movies? Absolutely. But there are a lot better ones, and as far as The Ellwood is concerned, a better place is worth going to. The entire waitstaff looks like Abercrombie and Fitch models, which isn't a bad thing, but it's clear this is their first time working in a restaurant. Our waiter sat us, then returned when we were about finished and asked how everything was. It would have been better if I didn't have an empty glass of iced tea for most of my meal. Also, I have never seen smaller beverage glasses. 4 ice cubes and they're full. There was no salt, pepper, or any other condiment on the table, which is odd for a place where seafood is the main fare. Also, no bread or butter was offered. I got fish and chips which were pretty average, but the portions were small. My partner got a tuna melt which was better than mine, but still on the smaller side of average. If all you want is to sit at the bar and watch the surf with small drink, go to The Ellwood If you're 20 something and Tinder isn't ur thing, go to The Ellwood If you want a full meh experience, The Ellwood is the place But if you want good seafood brought to you by people who know how to serve, go anywhere else.

We've become "Frequent Flyers" at this eatery as of late…read more We're locals and enjoy the fresh oysters, seafood and Key Lime pie. HIGHLY recommend happy hour, sit at the bar...preferably where Devin is serving. The service is decent anywhere, but Devin takes it up a notch. He is fast, efficient and friendly. We've sat elsewhere in the bar and when our server has gone missing, he has had no problem stepping up and getting us more Tabasco, another beer, some extra lemon wedges etc....We'll now just make a bee line to his area.

My husband and I came here recently and had a tasty meal. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich,…read morethough I had fully intended to order something more authentic. 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!

The food was good. We enjoyed the taste and presentation…read more The wine was ok. I expected much better taste from Santa Barbara's Wineries. Maybe because it was served just from the bottle with no aeration. The service was disappointing. The waiter looked indifferent and the other waiter hit the table on his way and cause the spilling of water. Ambiance was good since it's near the ocean. The lady waiter and the host were great.

I knew I wanted a rice bowl but wasn't sure what I wanted on top. When I saw the half and half option with tuna and salmon, it was the perfect combination! The order only took a few minutes before coming out. It was delicious and very filling. There was a good combination of textures and flavors that made it a well rounded bowl. I had an efficient but delicious lunch experience at Nikka Ramen. I'd definitely come back!

He liked the ramen but he also like the tofu more than the chicken. It was very busy and they had tons of delivery pick ups. I didn't get a dessert but they had trendy desserts like the peach ice cream. All if the servers were very helpful and nice.

First time here and love how fast the service is. Got our drinks and orders down fast…read more Lots of booth seats. It got pretty busy on a Saturday brunch time. Long lines as we were leaving. Not a lot of parking but there's parking across the street. Free refills on coffee is nice. Only one stall per gender bathroom. The veggies Benedict seem to have an entire bag of spinach. It was awesome. I added avocado to mine. Saved half for later. We also got the vegan burrito. Massive. Funny how it's a slice of Orange next to the burrito. Not a fruit salad or anything. Just a slice of Orange. So much food. Tasty. Would come back!

Okay in my opinion this was the breakfast highlight of my trip…read more My son and I came in with a friend and I can say this was the best breakfast I think I have ever ordered. I so wanted to eat it all, but this was huge. My coffee cup never even got close to empty the staff seemed to just show up and fill it constantly. This place wasn't huge but it was clean and the food came out fast. I was almost going to order the jambalaya with eggs but didn't. I guess I will have to come back to try it. But the Huevos Rancheros were freaking amazing. I mean seriously this was the best breakfast I think I have ever had. No brainer I will be back one day.
