Santa Barbara FisHouse

"Very impressed with everything about this place - the vibe, the service, the food and drinks. Excellent all round and good value considering the location and ocean view. Daily specials included locally sourced fish - wonderful. Highly recommend"

"Great food, prompt service and good dining ambience. We got a well warmed patio seating by a fire pit and overlooking Cabrillo street and the ocean. We started with coconut crusted shrimp for starters and it was fantastic. The shrimps were juicy and the wonderfully flavored with the coconut crusting. We had sesame and wanton crusted mahi mahi for main course and it was simply delicious. The chocolate mousse and New York cheesecake were an amazing dessert addition to finish it off. Our server was mindful and checked on us several times. Highly recommended !"

"Lobster Mac and cheese is so good! Rest of our meal was amazing but this was the only picture I got of the food. Sat on the patio, heaters were on, fire going. Great atmosphere! Will definitely be back on our next trip!"

"Came here for a late dinner. We made a reservation which was good because the couple ahead of us didn’t and it would have been a wait if they wanted a table instead of a high top. We were seated outside by the fire pit which generated enough heat that we did not need a jacket. Should have done in earlier as we would have a nice view of the sunset. Ordered the calamari which was breaded nicely and it was not greasy or soggy. We ordered the salmon and the mahi mahi for dinner. the portions were just right as we were not super hungry. Service was friendly and quick."

"Made a trip to Santa Barbara and we were craving some oysters so decided to try this spot as the location was right next to the beach. We were able to make a reservation beforehand in order to make it to their happy hour however they only do it at the bar which is something they didn't have on their website. We ordered a carafe of their seasonal sangria which was worth it as we got about 5 cups out of it. We order a dozen oysters and they provided a sampler of four different oysters all of which had distinct flavors but all tasted amazing. As for our entrees we ordered the pistachio crusted ahi and the mushroom scallop risotto. The ahi was cooked well and really good. The rice it came with however was a little too mushy for my taste. The risotto was amazing and so flavorful. Scallops were cooked perfectly and there were plenty of mushrooms in it as well. For dessert we ordered the banana tart tatin and it was delicious. By the end of the meal we were so full, luckily it was right next to the beach and pier we decided to go for a little stroll to walk it off. Overall would recommend this to anyone looking to eat some grey food by the ocean. The atmosphere was great and the servers were very fast and helpful."
