Salty At The Beach - Santa Barbara

Food and service were good. The view of the harbor was great!

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.

(Under new management) Fantastic ownership. Friendly staff. Great food. Unique drink. Wonderful atmosphere. Beautiful views. This spot is super new but management, wait staff and chef Carlos make this our new favorite place in Santa Barbara.

Kind of a joke. There's more staff than customers and it still takes 15min to get a drink. Manager hasn't gotten off her phone and it seems like there's no direction for the staff, who are very friendly and personable. Foods not bad but Don't get poke its a joke that's not funny.

Yes, I know my photo not beautiful, BUT? it?s SO DELICIOUS ????!!!! I forgot make a photo for beginning of my dinner ?. ????
