Stopped by for lunch. Views are excellent! Food was also pretty good but overall experience was let down by inattentive and slow service, particularly as it was not too busy. We sat inside and I think the outer terrace seating area appeared to get more attention.

Beautiful location in the Santa Barbara harbor. Great views from the second deck, pretty well shielded from the wind, even have heaters if that’s what you want. Just don’t expect great food. We ordered the harbor salad and fish and chips, fish and chips were pretty good but very greasy, harbor salad was small for $23. The french fries were not good so we just ate a couple and left the rest. No seasoning, basically a bag out of the freezer into the fryer. And there’s always a $19 margarita if that’s up your alley. Service was a bit sketchy, we had to ask another server to bring our server to the table to close out our bill. But the beer was cold and the views were great and it wasn’t very crowded on a Wednesday afternoon so we’ll probably be back.

Great restaurant with an amazing view. The restaurant is upstairs and gives a great view of the beach and pier. The food was great. We ordered the famous garlic bread for starters and for the meal we ordered the colossal fried shrimp and the beach cheeseburger. The food was excellent and served quickly. Our server was very nice and friendly. We will definitely go here again when we’re in Santa Barbara.

We flew down from Canada and heard the fish tacos in California were the best in the world so we HAD to get the seafood tacos. I got the fish tacos, my sister got the lobster tacos, and we also got the clam chowder and the oyster shots. I wasn’t too big of a fan of the oyster shot because I’m just not much of a franks red sauce fan in general. But the tacos and the clam chowder were AMAZING!! It’s very pricy however you aren’t just paying for the food, but also the views! You get a perfect view of the ocean and all of Santa Barbara from the deck. So wonderful, if I ever come back here I’d definitely choose to eat from this place again!

Let’s be honest, you’re going to be eating here for the location. And it is really wonderful. When we went, they were only seating people on the upper level, and no matter where you found yourself there were wonderful views of the ocean and the harbor. It was really pretty. Food was fine, nothing exceptional. I had a salmon salad and I wish I had asked for the dressing on the side the bottom half was in edible because it was like balsamic dressing soup, with a little greens mixed in. The kids like their fish and chips, and I thought the chowder was really nice.

Went here for a quick bite and drink during sundown. The location is gorgeous, the drinks and food are fine but nothing special. You pay for the location rather than the food/drinks. Service is friendly.

What a change now …read my update .⬇️We hadn’t been here for a long time. Our son reminded us about it and said he enjoyed it. So, we went for a nice stroll on Stearns Wharf. Longboards is located on top of the Harbor restaurant. It hadn’t changed at all. Still the same awesome patio with a view that’s almost 360. Large patio with umbrella tables and surrounded by glass to keep the wind down. We chose to sit inside where there is a long bar in the center and it is surrounded by tables and a gorgeous view. We grabbed a handful of peanuts out of the Barrell and went to a table by the windows. The shells go on the floor, yes that’s correct. It was so clear the view of the harbor and the Islands was picturesque.

We wanted dessert to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Longboard has some fun dessert options and offered free cheesecake for the birthday girl. We ordered the chocolate chip cookie and ice cream too. The cookie was warm, soft and yummy. The cheesecake crust was a little stale but since it was free and they personalized it, we didn’t say anything. The staff is very friendly and the view is great.

Nothing better than bottomless mimosas to start a weekend. The food was delicious with my vegetarian omelet a must have. I would definitely go back to enjoy a perfect day on the pier starting with breakfast.
