For a casual seafood dining experience in Santa Barbara, this is the way to go!
We came for dinner on a Saturday night. Expect a 40 + minute wait but not to worry: it's right next to the marina and there's a museum and store nearby. Not to mention a Brophy Bros. bar below the restaurant where you can have drinks and appetizers while you wait. The bartender even gave my little one a Shirley Temple on the house which I thought was sweet - it's a drink that always brings back childhood memories :) especially when everyone else at the bar is drinking it up!
It's pretty busy and loud and great for those who come with kids.
The clam chowder is excellent, and the sea bass was nice with a surprisingly zesty sauce. The salmon was super and the coleslaw was yum. (Just to clarify, I didn't eat all of this by myself!) Service was above average and overall we had a great experience - I would definitely come back! And when I do, I would def. want to try the Garlic Baked Clams.
