Our favorite Santa Barbara restaurant. The Mahi is delicious, as is the ahi poke. And for you steak lovers, the 21 day aged ribeye is sure to satisfy. The atmosphere is comfortable inside and out with a fire to warm you on cool beachside nights. Don't miss an opportunity to enjoy one of southern California's best assets.

I was in Santa Barbara about a week ago on a business and it was Saturday evening when me and my colleague decided to have dinner at Fishouse. The place looks pretty cute and cozy from the outside, but was a bit bright and loud when we went in. The food was good, nothing mind blowing, but the service was very odd. It was like it was our waitress's first day. She was forgetting almost everything we were asking her to bring and eventually she made us wait for 20 minutes until she came out with our change.

We had the crab claws to start. I had the lobster mushroom pasta and It was amazing, very rich and creamy. My colleague's choice seemed to be yummy as well (btw, she ordered shrimp bisque).

Overall it's not a bad place... could be better if only the management pays more attention on who to hire and how good to train...
