On a picture-perfect Sunday (today) we enjoyed a lovely lunch with friends. We dined on the sunny patio that overlooks the harbor. Everything about our lunch was wonderful!

We were so pleasantly surprised with Moby Dicks on the pier in Santa Barbara. We had reserved a ocean view table and it did not disappoint! beautiful view, fabulous service and the food was fresh and delicious. Lobster Roll, Crab Louie salad and the blackened halibut. On all fronts they did not scrimp on portion size and the butter lettuce on the Louie salad made it amazing.

Service was excellent but the food was OK. For appetizers, we ordered the fried calamari (a very generous portion) and the crab cake (three small ones) and for entree we ordered the cioppino, the linguini and clams, and lobster roll. Appetizers were good, my cioppino broth was watery and the seafood didn’t have much taste, the linguini and clams was decent, and my daughter liked the lobster roll. The sunset view was beautiful!

Had an evening meal here last night. Extensive menu with a wide variety of choices. I had the Maine lobster, which was delicious. Also started with a couple of Californian oysters, first time trying this variety and I really enjoyed them, they tasted of the sea. Had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, delicious and I thought not a bad price for the location. The location was amazing, we had a seat by the window, which gave us a great view of sunset over the harbour. If you book on-line it is worth specifying whether you want to sit outside or inside. I didn’t, but luckily there was a table available inside. I would have found it too chilly sitting outside, that said others did choose to be outside. Our server was very friendly and super helpful, giving really helpful advice on the food. They were very attentive, but not in an annoying way. Hope we get to return to Santa Barbara some day, so we can revisit the restaurant.
