"Great location on the beach! Sadly, the food was a huge let down. It was blah. We had Calamari and Red Snapper Ceviche both of them were just ok. Had steamed mussels and 2 of the mussels had beards still on them. "While not harmful, has a tough, stringy, and unappetizing texture that detracts from the dining experience". Yep! 2 of us had Sea bass and it was blah. The Poke and Salmon were so-so. We were all excited for the Sticky Rice but it was not true Sticky Rice. Yes, the rice stuck together, but it had no flavor. Key lime cheesecake for dessert looked like it was frozen, turned on a plate, thawed and had a swirl of something on it. It was ok. Skip the "Gelato". Even though it says it is made in Italy the only resemblance to Gelato is it is cold. It comes in and is served in a plastic container. It has a ton of unnecessary ingredients. It has a weird texture and taste. Dinner was $200 for 5 adults with no drinks. Very disappointing."

"I've loved this place for many years. Casual, good food, service always seems great. A real Santa Barbara local feel. Fabulous views, one of the only places around where you can sit out, in the sun or under an umbrella, on the beach with your feet in the sand."

"Beautiful restaurant right at the beach. They got a variety of different items on their menu. There is a different plate of fish special each day. Enjoy your food and drinks right at the beach or on their patio."

"What a lovely find! Visited with a friend looking for a beach view on a visit from the Mid-West and Shoreline Beach Cafe delivered! They have a breakfast and lunch menu and you have the option of eating on their patio or beach! They serve Pepsi products and we paid $7 for 2 hours parking, as we didn’t see the free 90 minute parking. Food was prepared quickly, and served warm. Service was good! There is a cute beach seating area with lounge chairs to relax. A really nice hidden gem and you can’t beat the views!"

"A surprise stop to avoid traffic on the 101. Limited free parking up front, plenty of paid public parking at the beach. Service was good. Great view of the beach. Heaters in the sitting area. There was plenty to choose from on the menu. We went with the ahi spiced poke special and clam chowder; both were good. I ordered the bloody Mary and a pacifico. Prices are beach prices. Expect between $18-28 a person, more with drinks. They did have restrooms. One thing to note is that there are steps up into the sitting area."
