Located directly across the street from the Santa Barbara shoreline, we were warmly welcomed by the hostess who graciously gave us a table next a big picture window with a view.

We shared a bowl of clam chowder that was thick and absolutely delicious. For our entrees, we ordered the Crab Louie Salad and the Fish and Chips. The salad was loaded with sweet, juicy crab meat, covering a bed of greens with sliced egg, cucumber, and avocados. The dressing was homemade and truly did not disappoint.

Now on to the fish and chips.... you'll be hard pressed to find a non-greasy fish and chips, but we found one here at the Santa Barbara FisHouse!!! Crispy, tender, and flavorful with a side of tartar sauce and malt vinegar on the side. The fries were typical but the coleslaw was unique. I usually enjoy a savory coleslaw instead of sweet, but this one was an exception. Raisins and pineapple bits sweetened the coleslaw but did not overpower it.

Our server, though friendly, could've been a little more attentive, especially since it wasn't very busy during the time we were there. She forgot the iced tea spoons, had to wave her down for another soup spoon even though she knew we were sharing the chowder, and she didn't clear our dishes before giving us the bill nor after we paid for it.

As far as pricing goes, to give you an idea, we ordered 2 iced teas, one bowl of clam chowder, crab louie salad and fish and chips cost us a little over $50.00.

On a side note, the bathrooms were clean, it is wheelchair accessible with the ramp along the side of the building, and only valet parking is available. There are plenty of parking opportunities all around the downtown area should you decide not to use the valet services they provide.

Also, they do have a bar area but since we ate in the restaurant, I can't really comment on that. All I do know is they have a television where they show whatever sport is playing at the moment.

I highly recommend!!! I give it five shakas!!!🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
