Love the preferential treatment for being a single diner. Couples and more have to go on a wait list, singles are found a table immediately. A novel approach. Loved the ceviche.

We had a great breakfast at Moby Dick. We had the Denver and Santa Barbara omelet and they were both delicious. There are great views from every table.

Had the Red Tsunami and a cup of lobster bisque and it was delicious! My other party members had the Rockerfeller Steak and are raving about it!

Vero good food and service. Great view of sunset from the sea. Choose window seats.

The yellowtail catch of the day was not very good. The clam chowder was excellent. Pro Tip: try and stick to the menu, you should be fine.

The sourdough bread is amazing.

Don't believe the negative comments, if you're looking for a peaceful view to soothe your mood pick here and eat the swordfish steak or lobster.

1 1/2 lb lobster. $15.95. What is not to like?

Crab cakes are a lot of filler, which makes them over priced!

katie dJune 6, 2011
Great views, but there's better seafood in SB. It's more expensive than its worth. Go for breakfast.
AndrewJuly 30, 2013
Clam chowder was superb albeit too thick and salty. Everything else is too mediocre to mention for the price point. Wish we would have dined elsewhere.
Fran SetbackenOctober 23, 2016
Worst service ever. I have lived here 30 years and always go there for the view. No more. This place is a HUGE tourist trap. Don't go!
Devon BowmanOctober 16, 2010
Watch out for the Moby Chili Size burger.. It's enough to feed an army.
Rhea BeaJuly 22, 2010
The dungess crab meal is great for $19.95!
Scott AppelApril 30, 2014
Skip it. Oddly, you can get better fish in the desert than here.
areUKellin'?September 18, 2010
DO NOT EAT HERE! the food is tasteless, the worst fish and chips ever! to believe this place is a seafood restaurant on a pier and they can't even get it right! what a shame!! HORRIBLE!! KEEP LOOKING!
Paul StyrnaJune 28, 2014
Don't bother with the wings! Not good, not fresh, not even a good deal at happy hour.
R ShrollAugust 16, 2010
Yogurt and Fruit for 13.95. Really? There menu is out of whack with reality.
Alt ThomasAugust 17, 2013

Average food.. more about the view
Lavera VincentSeptember 12, 2010
Fish & Chips not very good.
Angela RetamozaMarch 26, 2012
Quite possibly the worst music I have ever heard
Angela RetamozaMarch 26, 2012
The worst music ever, even worse than natural cafe.
Katia TakemiyaJuly 4, 2019
Pão francês fresco. O prato que escolhemos foi bem caro pelo tamanho da porção que recebemos. A bebida da criança é o mesmo preço do adulto, mesmo vindo menos. decoração interessante e a vista bonita.
Alpay AlphanOctober 13, 2014
Perfect 👌👍👏✌️
