Amazing to enjoy such incredibly fresh seafood and love the fresh sheet they give every day. Service was great Ambiance was awesome. Sat in a booth outside looking over the water on a sunny and warm day. Overall incredible few hours.

We came here during 4th of July weekend and it wasn't too crowded. We had just arrived for a party of 2 before the crowd came. We were seated right next to the ocean and waited about 20 mins? Not too bad. Pretty decent service and great spot to have lunch / dinner. Ultimately, I wanted to try their Uni since it's literally live and fresh but I had to hold off. It's better during winter season when the water is much cooler. Instead, we still enjoyed our meal. We both started off with clam chowder. Super fresh and enjoyed the quality of the clams, oysters, I enjoyed every bite! Next we both shared the famous Lobster Roll. It's like a given here and you cannot come and not order it. Really enjoyed how generous they were with the meat. There was at least a couple of claws in there. Every bite was worth it combined with the buttered roll. It came with a couple pieces of onion rings too! Came in clutch because I was craving onion rings but didn't want to order a whole side. Last but not least, we both shared the lobster pasta. This dish was decent. Pasta was a bit basic and a decent amount of lobster meat. I did feel overwhelmed with the amount of dried tomatoes. It was almost as if it masked the amount of lobster pieces. Definitely, the best seafood spot on the pier. Come and enjoy the scenery!

Came here for dinner on a Friday night and didn't wait too long for a table. We were sat outside with a lovely view of the sunset. For 2 people we ordered... Uni w/ scallops: the uni melts in your mouth and surprisingly goes well with the scallops! Oysters: we got the Kumiai Oysters and it had a briny taste with a little sweetness, which I loved! Our waitress said they were in season. Steamed Clams & Mussels: we got a mix of steamed clams & mussels and it tasted fresh. I loved the white wine garlic broth! Side of onion rings: these onion rings were quite big and so delicious! Overall, all the food we got was tasty and satisfied our seafood craving! We also got their house white wine which was Chardonnay that paired well with the food we got.

Put our name on the list while looking for parking and got lucky with quickly finding a spot and our party of 2 sat within ten minutes of waiting. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be during the Fourth of July weekend. We got to sit at the bar today and it was busy inside and was able to see the staff all work so hard. It can get loud inside with the kitchen noose but the best part of sitting inside is being able to see them make your food up close and see all the fresh ingredients they use. We ordered shrimp and scallop pasta, clam chowder in cup, fresh uni with scallop, and lobster roll. Service was quick and food was fresh and delicious! Staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommend when at the pier!

This place is tourist central, which is classic of a seafood spot right on the pier. Very fresh (we saw the fisherman bring in the catch of the day), most everything tasted great! But the price point is the kicker...

Food - food was amazing - every dish was tasty, fresh, great portions - shrimp and scallop pasta to die for - lobster roll so toasty and buttery - lobster bisque extremely creamy and seasoned well Service - 10/10 service - great attitudes - fast service - friendly and nice Ambiance - best view in Santa Barbara - outdoor seating at the edge of the deck - this is why you come to SB

We stopped by for lunch on a Saturday and waited for 15 min or so. We ordered clam chowder in a bread bowl, shrimp and scallop pasta, and a fried combination. The shrimp and scallop pasta was delicious. Seafood was very fresh in all three dishes. Had to take down one star because the clam chowder was served lukewarm and not hot. We were seated outside so the soup got cold even faster. Service was good and food came out relatively quick. Parking: Located on the pier with free 90 min parking.

Super casual seafood joint. Sit inside at the bar & watch them cook, sit at the bar facing the ocean, or sit outside & enjoy the view/ tolerate the pelicans, pigeons, & seagulls. Staff here is great... they're on top of it & portions are generous. Best clam chowdah ever! Tons of clams, tiny diced potatoes, even my kiddo said the onions were the best he's ever tried. Hubbs inhaled the tacos, lobster roll was A+, & the calamari sandwich was 8/10. We always come back here & try new things. Always worth it... the views are spectacular, sealife all around, touristy, but it's popular for a reason. See ya soon, Stearns Wharf!
