    We are staying at the Inn at East Beach across the street from the The Hyatt where this restaurant is located. We had been evacuated and were sharing our room, taking care of a handicap patient who has some specific eating restrictions. There was a perfect path for her wheelchair to access the restaurant. Our server was the bartender at the Mar Vista Lounge/Bar earlier for lunch today (12/7/17) and he went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. Besides the food being delicious, the service was exceptional. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you're staying at one of the many hotels in this area. After eating a lot of junk during the fire evacuation it was lovely to have a real meal. The salmon is very good with the peas and rice/risotto, the salmon was very fresh! The Brussel Sprouts with the Soy Mustard Seed glaze was also very tasty! Our server and food handler manager really accommodated us during this stressful time providing our patient with a fresh no salt added salad. They go above and beyond here, even providing us with masks to avoid the smoke! ps. Don't forget to order a Margarita!

    Typical hotel breakfast, with an average buffet option. Nothing special or memorable. service is adequate. Pretty view of the beach. Clean.

We decided to eat next door, which was sort of a mistake. Luckily, in Jan. 2026, we were able to grab seats at the counter inside. We got to watch the dishes being prepared a la minute! What a treat! They were busy, but each person knew what they were doing and they worked efficiently! Our primary objective was for me to taste a Santa Barbara Uni (Sea Urchin) while IN Santa Barbara! I've had lots of live S.B. Uni at restaurants in the Los Angeles area. We placed an order for the Uni. There were 6 pieces, served over a piece of scallop and placed on a slice of lime. Pretty yet simple presentation! I had to first sample an Uni all by itself. So rich and delicious! Then I ate the bit of scallop by itself as well. So good! I ate the rest of them as served. Loved them! We also got Lobster Bisque, Crab Cakes, and Lobster Tacos to share. Everything was good! Worth the trip to S.B. to eat here! There's usually a ton of people waiting outside. If you have the time and patience, you should eat here at least once!

Absolutely a must-try if you visit. Sweet, fresh, and so flavorful -- easily our favorite thing we ordered. The seafood here really speaks for itself, and the casual waterfront atmosphere makes the experience even better. One tip: if it's a busy day, try to sit inside if you can. It made the experience much more enjoyable with less of the crowd and wind from outside. Definitely a spot worth visiting when in Santa Barbara.

Couldn't miss the opportunity to go this trip, we went for lunch right when it opened. We hate waiting in lines. We sat at the bar. The bar and outside patio seating filled up quickly shortly after we arrived and we were there on a Wednesday for lunch. It seem like a lot of locals/regulars showed up as the bartender and shellfish shucker seemed to know them. My friend loves their Bloody Marys, so he ordered one and I had a beer. We had 1/2 dozen Oysters and Cherry Stone Clams, along with Garlic Baked Clams and a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. The seafood was amazing, the gentlemen that was shucking the oysters and clams was phonomenal ... not one piece of shell, so clean, so fresh. The baked clams and chowder are also amazing. Atmosphere: great on the dock restaurant feel with great views. Food: excellent. Service: excellent.

Meanwhile, we walked along the Harbor as we waited for the message. We got a seat on the outside to enjoy the views and breeze. I ordered the Seafood Pasta with the clam chowder. I was stuffed by the time I was finished. It was a good place with good food to enjoy with good friends. Only issue I had was that the server doesn't come by enough. They can just take a quick walk to see if anything is needed. It took a while for the check to come and for me to pay. I had to go up to someone else to take care of the check.

Everything was excellent! Their quality of seafood is really fresh and they use simple ingredients to really allow you to taste the freshness of the seafood. We ended up getting a lobster roll, the rockfish ceviche, and some oysters. Enjoyed all of them! They have great service as well. They gave us a good recommendation to get the ceviche. Love the interior of this location as well. It's inside of a little open area with lots of seating, a bathroom, and lovely decor. Good vibes overall.

    Went to Santa Barbara for the weekend. I was excited to try this place out based on the reviews…read more The location is inside a bar so you can select other food options if you'd like. The bars offers food and there's a chicken place behind the bar. Sweet: The menu offers some variety of options if you're not looking to have seafood. My husband enjoyed his hot dog. The fries were probably the best item out of what we ordered. Sour: We also ordered a lobster roll and clam chowder. The lobster roll wasn't too bad but it wasn't that special. It was pretty small and it was only filled with claws. I wish the bread was crisp and the lobster had more flavor. It wasn't worth the price. The clam chowder wasn't so bad It was a little more of a broth based and not really creamy. It had the perfect amount of potato and clams but lacked flavor. Overall not a bad option but nothing out of the ordinary.

You don't need anything else but just a spoon or chopsticks since they're so delicate. Price: $18.95 + tax per sea urchin. As of April 2026. Also try the prepacked halibut ceviche $18.95/lb or ahi poke salad $25.95/lb. You can just get a small container for like $8. Parking is $3.50/hour on the main harbor, in front of the water. If you're lucky you can score free parking right before entering the lot.

We went specifically for fresh live uni, but unfortunately they did not get any in that day. So I would suggest calling first before heading over if you are very rigid in what you are ordering. The fresh uni is SO popular so best to double check first. However, if you do snag their fresh uni, it's more than $10 less than another place I won't mention on Stearns Wharf - that's a big win! We ended up getting a whole lot of cod to munch on instead. We got a whole pound's worth of smoked black cod - half candy flavored and half savory flavored for $32 with tax & tip. Absolutely loved them both and prices seemed great for such well flavored, fresh fish. We liked the candy a touch more than the savory but enjoyed both. Staff was pleasant enough, plus they have a bench outside that we sat at for a few minutes to eat. I'd love to go back in the future and try their acclaimed live uni~!

We ordered 2 lbs of shrimp - I think it's $25+/lb and 1 lb crawfish (can't recall how much maybe its $17+ /lb), 5 steamed rice, 1 large extra sauce (drunken crab mix - can't recall exact name) . Everything was really good - we did medium spice and it was spicy especially for my 12 yr old son but he still enjoyed it though. The service was good, but could've been better - staff are always by the bar are and just chatting, but someone will come check on us from time to time - its just that when we need their attention sometimes its hard because they had their back away from us and we ate at around 2:30ish so the restaurant was pretty empty - just 2-3 tables taken inside. The place is big, lots of seating and great for big groups. However, one of my disappoinment here is the ladies bathroom - its really dirty, trash overflowing and on the floor, etc, like its really dirty. I hope management can fix that issue with the staff. P.S I forgot to take photos because my kids were very hungry and didnt let me take pics...next time!
