Boathouse At Hendry's Beach

1 - Dog friendly seating. The dog friendly seating was the best seating in the restaurant. Beach front. 2 - service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly, professional and attentive. 3 - Lobster roll was delicious. Fish sticks was cooked perfectly. Crunchy tasty batter and not oily. French fries were great. Tasty, perfect cook not too soft and not too crisp. Definitely a great visit. We arrived around 2pm and the beach front seating had perfect seating with an umbrella for shade. The day was a balmy calm day.

Absolute must eat at this place if you are in Santa Barbara! The staff is very polite and friendly and they love dogs! They also make you yummy vegetarian pasta even though it is not on the menu! We ate here two days while we were in SB! It is beautiful both during the day and night. The fire pit is amazing outside and makes it very nice and cozy even on a winter evening! The drinks are amazing too! My husband enjoyed the seafood which is what it is famous for!

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.

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 ciopinno which was a little spicy and you got huge crab claws. A more mild pasta was the linguini. And also the fish and chips was also so good. Amazingly good food, awesome staff, beautiful beach view, and totally worth coming here.

I've come here and enjoyed the view a few times before, but tonight the food was extra delicious. So delicious, I didn't even think to take pics first 🤦 The dining room is closed for renovations right now, but the heated patio is wonderful. An absolute must try if you're in the area. Ask for Alex, she's a wonderful waitress!

The Boat House is still Santa Barbara's best kept secret! It never disappoints-ocean views are exquisite, super nice staff, love that they are pet friendly & that you can have a cocktail or other beverage while you wait for your table and of course the food is DELISH- we come specifically for the lobster rolls on brioche! Divine!

Came here to celebrate my wife's birthday. Our server, Alejandra, was an absolute gem! She was attentive, gave her advice on her favorite dishes, and treated us like family. The food was so flavorful and quantities were plentiful. We would definitely come back, not only for the food, but the great atmosphere, and the fantstic view.
