Enterprise Fish Company

Too cheap to change the menu that reads
«2 side dish options», inflexible waitress
Following greedy manager/​owner who now want to charge you extra for that 2^nd
Side dish. Another case of restaurant «take away» with no advantages for the customer. Just got back from Brophy
Brothers where I still pay less for more, better service and spectacular view of the Harbor. Never going back to the greedy
Enterprise.

Good atmosphere. Came on a Saturday night and there was a wait for the table so ended up eating at the bar.
We ordered
— oysters on the half shell (³⁄₅). Not the best selection that night.
— lobster bisque in a puff pastry (3.5÷5). Extremely rich so recommend sharing it. Delicious but can get heavy. The puff pastry was a nice addition to the texture. Preferred the bisque from the SB Shellfish Company though.

Food: My husband I came here for happy hour and ordered oysters on a half shell; Hawaiian poke (traditional style which comes with grilled onions); fried fish Baka tacos. Oysters were delicious! Poke was really good but a little too much of the onion. Tacos were super delicious! We ordered them spicy and while most restaurants will give you a version of «spicy» but not really spicy, these little babies are espisay!
Price: great deals during happy hour for good food!
Ambiance/​service: waitress was great and loved the window to the kitchen in the middle! They also have several big screen tvs on various sporting channels.

Definitely really disappointed in my visit to enterprise fish market today. I wanted to come in for some crème brûlée and while my friends was okay, I had to take mine back twice. The sugar did not crack and wouldn’t fall apart. The top was torched at too hot of a temperature and thus, the crème actually broke (separated). I am very saddened by this review, as I used to really love this place.

This place looks cool but food/​service were substandard, noise level high, and the prices really high — unjustifiably so. Won’t be back.
This place looks great from the outside — very modern, and also looks good inside with a lot of nautical/​seafood decorations. We looked at the menu displayed in the menu (about 8 pm) and prices looked reasonable. Once we were seated and given menus, we realized the prices were actually about 10+ dollars more than the posted menu ($ 27 per plate rather than $ 17 a plate — probably a lunch menu posted outside even at night).
We ordered the sea bass, and halibut. Neither fish dish was particularly warm, and the halibut was a bit bland. The bass was served on top of fried risotto disk (like a deep fried rice cake) which was actually cold. The green beans served with the sea bass were barely cooked at all, and not really fully edible.
The meals were whole unsatisfying. The plating was sloppy. The dishes cheap.
The served some decent warm white bread, but with some crappy garlic butter (no plain butter or olive oil.).
$ 8 bear was watery and so-​so.
Cole slaw good, but full of creamy liquid. I drained off several tablespoons of creamy residue from a tiny portion.
The Manhattan Clam chowder was unlike any I have ever had. It was think as a pudding and had a metallic flavor.
The place was very, very noisy. It had a sports bar feel with half a dozen large screen tv screens showing a basketball game.
The service was substandard as well. One guy took our order, and we never saw him again until the meal was completely over. Each dish and drink was served by a different person who as never seen again. It took forever to get our check, and then once we got it, we waited another 20 minutes to get someone to take our payment — and finally had to flag by a random waiter so we could get out of there.
An unsatisfying meal which was way way over priced.

Food was fantastic.
Clam chowder was excellent. Popcorn shrimp was awesome-​& they’re regular sized shrimp not popcorn. Bread was great-​soft & had herbed butter. (We’re bread snobs).
I ordered the mesquite halibut & it was perfect. Just a light drizzling of the ultra flavorful sauce so that it complimented rather than overpowered. My husbands blackened sea bass was equally delish. Although his plate was on the bare side.
Our waitress was terrible but Im fairly certain this was her own personal fault not that of the restaurant service in general.
Cant wait to come back.

Very nice place to have lunch or dinner, very friendly environmental, beauty servers，good services. Very well price and good food portions!

Only bad comment I have about the restaurant, would be the host. He seemed unfriendly as people walking in for a table were a bother to him. The rest of the staff were fantastic. Our waitress Courtney was great and accommodated us in every way.
The best clam chowder I have had in a long time! I like to thank the waitress for recommending it to me. We ordered 2 bowls and ordered another when they tried mine and loved it.
We also ordered the crab cakes which were good. Not the best I’ve had but were good.
The ceviche was well executed as well. Only bad part is it was small lol.
We also ordered a mix grill seafood, a mix seafood in a tomato sauce and a fried mix seafood plate. All of them were made well and tasted delicious and fresh.

Love this place. Somehow they have better fired shrimp than other spots.
That’s all I wanted to say but the idiots at Unilocal think my review should be longer. So blah blah blah Unilocal blows Enterprise is great. Suck it.

I wanted to like this place a lot more, mostly because it was my son’s choice for dinner our first night together, and because we all wanted seafood.
It was OK. just ok.
The room is nautically adorned, gastropubby, touristy and loud. We went on a Thursday night. The local IPA on tap (I forget the name) was astonishingly tasty. The fried seafood sampler was hammered … I mean cement like! The ceviche was much better as were the crab cakes. Service was rushed but professional.
I got a bit hammered on the beer and the emotions of family, so it took a while to take in the full impressions of this meal.
I would try Enterprise again if only for the IPA and to delve deeper into its extensive menu which has many beguiling choices. Maybe just an off night at the deep fryer.

I’m going bump this up as the server today was great. This place has really cool décor, excellent for out of town friends.
I wish they’d use a better fish for their fried fish though.
Wish I got the servers name.
Thank you.

This place seems popular for happy hour and sporting events. It has a pretty big bar with a laid back feel. The creamy lobster bisque was yummy! The puff pastry had a nice golden color on top and was light yet crispy The bisque was creamy and packed with flavor. Do yourself a favor and order this as an appetizer! The Hawaiian Poke was disappointing. Not much tuna poke. Instead I ate a lot of raw onions and cabbage slaw. Not worth it for $ 10. My friend had the Double Chicken Breast. It came with grilled pineapple, onions, and two sides for $ 19. Huuuuge portions for a steal! I had a bite of the chicken and it was juicy, flavorful and tender. Usually not the case for chicken breast. She picked clam chowder and fries as her two sides. The fries were crispy and matchstick thin! My friend enjoyed her clam chowder. I would come back again if I was in the area to sample more of the extensive menu.

I just went here today and it was just as good and there was fast service. The food came out really quick. However, I sat at the bar and it was super crowded with the table behind us being inches to a foot away. I couldn’t leave comfortably and grazed the people as I walking out

A beautiful day to take a leisurely drive up to one of our favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara, along with Brophy’s. We had a $ 30 Groupon credit which we needed to use before it expired this month.
Started off with the clam chowder which is always excellent although I probably like Brophy’s slightly better. Taste is similar to Splashes but with fewer clams. The sourdough bread was off the hook delicious.
For the main lunch course I ordered British Columbia salmon with Coca-​Cola barbecue glaze. The fish was melt in mouth moist but I thought the sauce was slightly too sweet for my taste. The cheesy mashed potatoes were delicious My wife ordered the yellowtail fish sandwich that was mesquite grilled along with the ubiquitous french fries and coleslaw.
We’ve never been disappointed at this place but I’ve had better meals on past visits. Overall I would give it a solid four stars.

The Enterprise is my absolute favorite Seafood Restaurant Ever. I love the food here. I’ve been frequenting this establishment since 1981, and have never been disappointed.
Here I am again at my Fav Seafood Restaurant. And you know what I’m having!

Please tell me I remembered my servers name correctly Naomi. What a wonderful lady such a wonderful person and personality and took care of his perfectly my girlfriend her daughter and her daughters best friend and I came here for the first time and had the most incredible meal. I will return and recommended highly to all my friends everything tasted incredible. I had the miso salmon with the risotto and the Romano cheese potatoes but I could not pass up that incredible bowl of clam chowder. The local beer was amazing I had so much fun with it.

I highly recommend their happy hour menu. They have a lot of options and decent prices. Their oysters are extremely fresh and delicious. The traditional Hawaiian poke is also good but the onions they topped them with were really salty and a bit of a turn off. We also had the salmon cakes and Kobe sliders. The salmon cakes were pretty good but a bit dry.

Un vaste restaurant au décor amusant, aquarium, plusieurs écrans de TV. Les serveurs sont très aimables. Excellents plats de poissons préparés en direct dans la cuisine centrale aux murs de verre. Nous recommandons l’espadon et le mix grill de poissons.

The happy hour here is a solid choice because the beers are at a good price and the happy hour menu is full of good choices. The televisions in every direction make this a place to go watch a game while downing beers and appetizers.
The food, the food is ok. I wouldn’t praise it because you can get almost everything on the menu somewhere else much better but Enterprise is still a good place to hangout.

Super packed. Great environment. Can see the kitchen. Fast service.
Ordered the sea bass. Well cooked and buttery. Came with long beans and «crispy risotto cake». Cake was oily and unappetizing. Got baked potato as the side. Free cheese and bacon addition. It was decent.
Desert was cheese cake. It was good but I’ve had better. I would go again to try something else but wasn’t impressed.

After reading the reviews on here, I didn’t have high expectations but my friend loves this place. We went here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon so the place was pretty dead.
Location: There is a private lot! I make no apologies for not knowing how to street park so when I found out there was a private lot in the back I was very happy. On lower state street and close to the beach.
Food: The bread we were served was pippin’ hot — straight out of the oven and steam was still coming of the bread. The loaf was firm and crunchy on the outside but soft and doughy on the inside. The garlic butter is really good. I ordered the Greek Salmon Salad and it was surprisingly good. I expected it to be on a bed of lettuce, but it was lettuceless which I loved and it came with huge chunks of feta! The salmon was flavorful and flaked easily — wasn’t tough at all! The pita bread was also warm and topped with parmesan cheese.
Service: Personally, I like when the wait staff isn’t checking in on you every five minutes. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing. My only complaint is that it was quite pricy, but this is in Santa Barbara.

Comi o peixe Mahi Mahi com legumes grelhados e purê de batatas. O peixe estava maravilhoso. Sobremesa foi o bolo de chocolate. Tudo muito bom!
A decoração do lugar é interessante e a maneira de grelhar a comida um show a parte.
Atendimento cortez. Voltaria muitas vezes.
