ADDITIONAL AVAILABILITY ON OUR WEBSITE : TinRoofBistro.com After soaking in the TRB’s Santa Barbara mission architecture, you’ll enter and be greeted by a triple arched Brunswick mahogany bar. Large bowls of colorful citrus for making cocktails sit atop a twenty-foot long bar perfect for grabbing a glass of wine or a bite to eat. As you explore further towards the display kitchen, you enter our lounge, also referred to as the wine library. Knotted wood shelves display our wines, divided up by wine region. Windows surround the North side of the dining room, allowing our guests to gaze out onto the fountain in our courtyard. I describe the décor as thoughtful and collective, creating little vignettes for dining areas. We offer two separate outdoor dining experiences: our courtyard with full service and our front porch great for appetizers, drinks and lounging.

This was our first time trying Rock’n Fish. We went to the Manhattan Beach location and everything was on point from the food to the ambiance to the outstanding service. The food was great - we ordered the calamari, clam chowder and Oregon rockfish, which was a recommendation from our server. She was right - the rockfish was excellent along with everything else. We will back to Rock’n Fish when we are in the area.

We ordered several apps and each had a main course. The food was excellent. The quality, presentation, options - all of it worked. We also got a corner table with a fire pit and that was really fun.
