1. Brophy Bros. Clam Bar & Restaurant

food is OK but the atmosphere is super, great for a drink

My wife and I have counted Brophy Bros. among our favorite places for years. The view is great, the service is always good and the seafood is in a class by itself. It's hard to describe the taste of fish and chips and make it sound different from anyplace else, but when the fish was caught hours before, believe me, it makes a difference. It's a definate "must" to treat yourself to lunch here when you visit Santa Barbara.
