Wow, the lobster taco was so fresh! Sat outside by the water enjoyed the view. Will definitely come back when I visit Santa Barbara!

Cioppino is the best dish. Crab cakes are so not worth it, just a mushy mess, ton of bread and barely any crab meat? Lobster bisque is OK, ceviche is average.

Went for chowder on a rainy day. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the best tasting uni I've ever had. The chowder was great, filling.

If you go to Santa Barbara, you must eat here – right on the water, great staff, delicious food!Parking: The closest parking is on the pier, which you have to pay to get to. On the weekends, it can get full very quickly, but the parking spaces turnover constantly.

Opted for takeout and savored our meal on the pier instead of sitting on the patio due to the windy conditions. Despite that, the food from Santa Barbara Shellfish Company was undeniably top-notch and fresh! While indulging in the Lobster Roll (with an extra charge for uni), Lobster Cake, and Bisque, the real star for me was their Onion Rings. They’re huge, with a satisfying crunch on the outside and a tender, flavorful inside. Absolutely delicious!

This is a tourist trap. Ordered the sea urchin, lobster taco and abalone entree. The portions were tiny. Uni was fresh and served on a thin slice of scallop and lime. Sadly, the serving was tiny. Lobster taco had a ton of veggies on it with a small sprinkle of lobster meat. It was pretty sad. I tasted the vegetables more than lobsters in that taco. The abalone w rice was another disappointment. It was one small abalone that was sliced into 3 sections and appeared to be covered in a strange mushy egg batter and spread over rice. We paid over $120 and left hungry. The best part of the meal was the garlic bread that came with the abalone. Luckily we had some cheese crackers to feast on in our car after we left to fill the hunger. Avoid this place.

Yum yum yum great service even better food. Bigger fan of east coast oysters than west coast for sure but everything was so delicious! They had an uni shot which was INCREDIBLE like wow so fire. Will deffo be back! Incredible views and even better flavors. As a pittsburgher, them serving heinz ketchup was a plus lol. We got the calamari and it was excellent, 1 dozen oysters (two dif kinds) and the shots and the prices were fair!Tons of cool shops and cute views from this dock that it’s located on. You drive onto the dock which was a cute / cool experienceParking: It’s a dock! You enter the dock and get a parking ticket to enter and pay it when you leave per the time you spend there.

Good food - I just wish they had a FEW inside seats & benches, besides the stools + but there is plenty of outside seating. It's not cheap, but, as I said, GOOD!
Really cool spot, as a vacationer, to catch a bite on the wharf. Small enough to provide good service, but roomy with a nice patio. I sat at the bar, which offers a great view of the kitchen- it's really interesting to see the chefs do their thing. I ordered the lobster tacos...my goodness... absolutely delightful. Next time I'm in Santa Barbara I *will* be back!

Seriously one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. Their cioppino is beyond great. The broth alone is so amazingly delicious.
