Brophy Bros. Restaurant Review

You’ll find a bustling scene of fishermen, young professionals and sand-sprinkled beachgoers --- as well as a wait nearly every night of the week at this true-blue waterfront institution. Décor is simple, and the waitstaff bustles about, but the view is a big selling point. Expect steamed mussels and clams with extra broth for crusty sourdough bread dipping. Dungeness crab cocktail, oysters on...

The outdoor tables at this casual harborside restaurant in Santa Barbara have perfect views of the marina and mountains. The staff serves enormous, exceptionally fresh fish dishes—don't miss the seafood salad and chowder—and provides you with a pager if there's a long wait for a table. This place is hugely popular, so it can be crowded and loud, especially on weekend evenings.

Action central on the harbor, this long-established seafood spot jumps all year, especially on weekends, when the wait for a table can be an hour or more (they'll give you a pager so you can wander around the marina; no reservations are taken). The biggest complaint here is the noise level, but no one gripes about the legendary Bloody Marys, clam chowder, or West Coast cioppino—California's...

The Scene
Nestled among fishing boats and tackle shops, this bustling seafood joint has long been a local favorite. For a dockside table or a spot at the kitschy downstairs clam bar, be...

One of my favorite places to eat in Santa Barbara. Right down on the wharf with views of the harbor and the mountains behind. The food is great and so was the service. You can’t go wrong eating here.

Always the best seafood! My husband and I love this place! Clam chowder is delicious and the fish and chips are one of the best that we have had. Love the views and being a part of Stearns Wharf!

We are a casual seafood house that is located right on the dock in the Santa Barbara Harbor. You'll find a bustling scene of fisherman, young professionals and sand-sprinkled beachgoers nearly every night of the week at this true-blue waterfront institution. Dungeness crab cocktail, oysters on the half-shell and fried shrimp round out the "small" menu offerings. Fresh fish specials, such as...
