Hard to go wrong with anything here but the garlic baked clams, hot platter and clam chowder are all to die for.
Amazing clam chowder, and their crab & shrimp salad was really good (only complaint was too many olives). Service was fast, and at times a little rushed, but overall, a great restaurant.
Clam chowder is excellent! Fresh clams...atmosphere will you remind you of being in a New England clam shack.
Totally worth the walk down the otherwise tourist trap wharf! Best shellfish we had in SB. Great selection, lots of daily specials. Shrimp is awesome, oysters and calamari linguini too! Sit outside.
We recommend lobster tacos! Yum! Clam chowder is delicious! Don't forget to wash it all down with a Pyramid on tap!
Lobster bisque is really a must! The Crab Louie was fresh but not very tasty. Good and fast service!
Great seating outdoors with view of the pier and people watching. Shady during lunch, 4-5 pm nice afternoon sun in August. Love the lobster tacos with sunset margaritas... Second time in one week!
Make sure to try seasonal specialities such as local Spiny lobster and crab
Great oysters, great for apps and drinks
Try the Lobster Bisque With Puffed Pastry
Lobster bisque w puff pastry and the scallop caprese sallad is a must
Some of the best clam chowder in the area!
Lobster tacos are amazing!
Boathouse signature breakfast is sooo good! Love them crab cakes! And pair that with their blood orange mimosa :0)
Lobster tacos & view are great. Calamari & service was terrible.
$1.25 oysters on the half shell : )
They will shuck their own uni and oysters for you.
Get your shellfish shucked for just $2 extra!
The fishing off the pier is fun. Especially for crabs.
California’s oldest working wharf, dating back to 1872. World-class restaurants include The Harbor Restaurant, Moby Dick Restaurant, Santa Barbara Shellfish & Co. Visit the many gift & apparel shops!
Some of the best crab cakes I've ever had.
Crawfish crab cakes to die for. Trust me.
Try the soft shell crab... Soft & crunchy cornmeal coated with cajun spices, delicious and not at all greasy!!
Clam chowder comes with some serious hunks of sourdough. Highly recommend.
Fish and crab cake sandwiches are fantastic.
The fish and chips are good. The clam chowder bowl has big pieces of clam. Salmon salad is good. Mimosas and Tito’s vodka lemonade. Prices are cheaper than the others around. Very good.
Crabcake Benedict is excellent
The Crab Cakes Benedict is awesome!
Great bloody Mary's and crab cakes Benedict! Sit outside and enjoy the view. Pet friendly!
Wow, oysters galore. We got their signature oysters and they were out of this world! I got the salmon with a side of grilled spinach which was also the bomb. This place is amazing for any occasion!
Lobster Raviolli!
I had the sesame seared ahi tuna, with almond pesto cauliflower and brown rice and loved it! Service is great and we were served quickly. One of my favorite places to eat fish in SB.
Grilled mussels on spinach...deluxe!
Try butter and garlic oysters and mussels. Also, loved the salad with seared ahi and prawns. All'n'all, wonderful dining experience.
Order the Filet Medium Rare. Best Filet I've ever had - tops the prime steakhouses of the country. Mussels were outstanding as well. Trust me. -Die Hard Foodie
Crab melt is the bomb!
Crabmeat and the Salami sandwich are awesome!
Bahn Mi with beef, Thai Basil Burger, Fried Rice. Best restaurant in downtown!
Crab tostada is awesome!
They use real fresh crab in the crab dishes.
Margaritas are excellent and have lots of unique flavor options. Friendly staff and good food.
The Bloody Mary's, onion soup and crab cakes are incredible!
The brunch is delicious! I recommend the vegetable quiche when on the menu.
Get the lamb, the filet, the salmon, whatever... It will be awesome!!! Best French food in CA!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
