Wow, what a gem. Stumbled across this spot and I’m glad I came. Even better, I happened to come when their happy hour begun.

I ordered (and very much enjoyed) their calamari at $12 Happy Hour price and added a side of broccolini for $8. I thought I’d order more food but this kept me satisfied and full.

Can’t leave out the beautiful ocean/pier view and very friendly and welcoming staff. Definitely returning!

Excellent fast service on a busy Christmas day with wonderful dining view. Basil pesto rice with salmon was my favourite among the other delicious foods we ordered. Many of us who waited outside the door without reservation in rain, the hostess was so kind and invited us inside to get seated.

Staff is outstanding! We enjoyed our holiday dinner out and this place was the perfect choice! Food was very good although the special menu was about half gone . Our server Marlene, was outstanding and we do appreciate her great attitude and appreciate the care she took to make our holiday meal perfect. Additional staff treated us great as well. I suspect the ownership takes good care of employees!! Thanks team! BTW, desserts were delightful

We really enjoyed our lunch. This is our first time in Santa Barbara and this restaurant is a perfect spot to see the water and enjoy some seafood. Jovani was very attentive, as well as the rest of the staff.

I had a very disappointing experience at this oyster restaurant. When my drink was served, the cup had a very obvious lipstick stain on it, and there was even a piece of dried fruit peel stuck to the outside of the cup. This clearly shows a serious lack of attention to cleanliness and hygiene.

In a restaurant that serves raw oysters, sanitation should be an absolute priority. Seeing something like this made me question the overall hygiene standards of the establishment and made it hard to enjoy the meal.

I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves their cleaning procedures. Customers deserve better, especially when it comes to food safety.

My friend and I were there on Monday afternoon. There was no line, and the lovely hostess gave us a seat with the best ocean view. The service was very fast. The staff was friendly and polite. The food was excellent! I’ll definitely be back on my next trip.

Moby Dick is always a great stop on the Santa Barbara waterfront! The atmosphere is relaxing with beautiful harbor views, and the service is consistently welcoming. I ordered the ribeye steak and it was cooked perfectly — tender, flavorful, and one of the best meals I’ve had in the area. Pair that with the ocean breeze and you’ve got an unforgettable dining experience. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Santa Barbara!

Visiting from the Midwest where “fresh” seafood is scarce, we dined in for a late lunch and were able to get a table right away. Shortly thereafter, tables started to fill up quickly.
Our server was very attentive and had great suggestions. Atmosphere was cozy and delightful, with the most amazing views, too.
I ordered a classic Paper Plane cocktail that was refreshingly tasty. Food was fresh and, oh, so delicious! I can’t wait to return for more!

This restaurant has wonderful views of the ocean. Cool music and friendly staff. We ordered grilled Atlantic salmon, it was delicious, served with marinated vegetables, green rise, and tartar sauce. Highly recommend for everyone who likes healthy food.
The second dish was fish and chips, served with 2 sauces and cabbage salad. Everything was crispy and fresh as it should be
Yummy, yummy! The plates were big, but we ate everything because it was delicious. Thanks to everyone who made and served!
