Reviews for Boathouse at Hendry's Beach in Santa Barbara, CA
My husband and I chose Boathouse at Hendry's Beach for our anniversary dinner. As you can see from the photos, their food looks... amazing! Even better is how delicious everything tasted. We started with crab cakes. I had the crab and lobster risotto withpan-seared scallops. My husband had the seafood pasta. All 3 were outstanding. We were full from dinner, so we chose our dessertto-go. We ordered the brownie ice cream sandwich. Albert was our server and was fantastic, and I taught him and the bartendingstaff about a B-52 coffee--yum! Boathouse does not take reservations,, however, you can order a drink in a to-go container andwalk the beach while you wait. We were there on a Monday night and had about a 20 minute wait, so be sure to plan ahead. Read more

Great breakfast place. Arrive early as there is typically a wait. We waited 30 minutes and took the dog for a walk down the... beach as we waited for a table outside the glass. If you eat inside they have a dog hut outside for them! Server was friendly,food came quickly and was very tasty. Love having breakfast as hearing the was breaking and enjoying the scenery. Read more
The food here was exceptional ! I personally got the boathouse Seafood and it was so flavorful they weren?t stingy on the... seafood, and lots of sauce. I highly recommend the seafood pasta if you?re unsure this is a must. My family got the ciopinnowhich was a little spicy and you got huge crab claws. A more mild pasta was the linguini. And also the fish and chips was alsoso good. Amazingly good food, awesome staff, beautiful beach view, and totally worth coming here. Read more
