    Superb cioppino, clam chowder and Bloody Mary. Get there right at 11:00am to stand in line at opening, or get there later and wait for a seat at the bar (great service). Best restaurant in SB

    Our Airbnb host recommended for its great fish & chips, and he's right! Go to the bar & eat off it's menu, he said upstairs dining is tourist trap. Bar cozy, cute with fast & great service! Enjoy! xo

    Completely lived up to the hype I've heard about this place. Excellent food! Great view and very good service! And they pour the stiffest drinks I've seen in a long time. Cheers!

    Food is excellent. Very fresh fish, which was delicious. Drinks are made strong, which makes up for the price. View is unbeatable. Service was okay given that it was busy on a Saturday.

    Get a seat outside. Great time with friends with one of my favorite views of the harbor in Santa Barbara

    Tasty cioppino, friendly service, lovely location. Succinct wine list (had a Santa Barbara Chardonnay which was perfect with seafood). What not to like? Will definitely come back.

    There’s a nice view of the marina. Go al fresco. The seafood is a must. The appetizer sampler is good for a meal for one.

    The clam chowder was really good and so were the crab cake. Try and visit during of peak hours so that you don't have to wait long for a table.

    A true honest locals spot! Amazing food, views & service! If possible, at sunset sit on the putter deck upstairs facing the harbor & mountains! Incredible place!

    Swordfish is excellent! Also it comes with english cream clam chowder and a bunch of salad + rice or French fries :) Outside is perfect view on Santa Barbara bay.

    Amazing clam chowder, and their crab & shrimp salad was really good (only complaint was too many olives). Service was fast, and at times a little rushed, but overall, a great restaurant.

    Try the Cioppino - My go to dish on the menu. Chalk full of seafood and an amazing tomato broth. When I think fisherman stew this is what I think of.

    Three people. Three dozen oysters, an order of crab, peel & eat shrimp and clam chowder. Four drinks. $80. Can't go wrong!

    After your gorgeous meal here, if you feel like some exercise, visit the close by Los Banos pool for a dip. Just be cautious of a recent outbreak of diarrhea in the deep end.

    Sea food is decent, the cioppino has nice sherry flavor, plus there’s nice outdoor seating. Would be much better if they took reservations.

    Amazing clam chowder! But if you want to save room for more food from their menu, get a cup of it. The bowl is huge!

    Beware of the corner table deck seagull. He can smell your fear. Also, browse for your new yacht next door while waiting for your table buzzer to start talking to you.

    Like everyone else is saying, the clam chowder is the best. But add a little tobasco to put it over the top. The bloody Marys are overrated.

    The view is great the food OK and the service depends on who you get. It's a bit pricy for what you get. I really enjoyed the Clam Chowder.
