Salty At The Beach - Santa Barbara

Beautiful, but everything else was disappointing. imitation crawling. the personal concentrated more on a football game than on the service. noisy regular drinking/shaking at the bar distracted from the atmosphere. cold, they should have heat lamps.

Beautiful views of the Harbor and the food is pretty good. The problem is none of the staff, any of them, had masks on in violation of the ordinance. We did feel a little unprotected around the staff. Other than that great place to eat with a beautiful view of the Harbor And boats.

It was a wee risk for a group to show up there, since they didn't take reservations, and you can't even call on the phone to ask if they would be likely to have space for a group of 12. Their phone response is just a message that they don't take reservations, and an emergency number provided. But there was plenty of room in that partly open-air room to the side of the building. The view from there was pretty, and they had a wall heater that kept us warm. Their waitress was wonderful, and allowed us to split into 6 tabs, assigning us couple numbers so we could add food or drink to each couple's tab! The drinks and small bites were $2 off during the 3-6pm happy hour. Online, the menu doesn't show that there is a happy hour, so that was a nice surprise. If you are a covid-cautious person, you may want to note that the staff mostly weren't wearing masks. But since our room was partially outdoors, and we are all boostered up we weren't worried. I recommend the MaiTai, and if you say to Double the Dark rum for$2 more, they bring it in a shot glass. The food was large servings of Nachos Fish chips. Not sure about the others.

Overpriced, small portions. Great service and staff. Excellent views

It was okay. That’s about all I can say. Mac and cheese was essentially just noodles floating around in what tasted like water and a tiny bit of powdered cheese.
