Oku

Trendy sushi restaurant located across from the beach and wharf. We recommend going for happy hour. Monday through Thursday from 4–6 PM and Friday through Sunday from 3–5 PM. Pro tip: Ask to be seated on the second floor balcony for the best views. Order the Crispy Korean Cauliflower (not on happy hour menu), you will not be disappointed.

Santa Barbara Shellfish Company

No frills seafood restaurant located at the end of Stearns Wharf. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Great views, limited seating, expect a wait. Pro tip: Don't park on the pier (parking is limited and always crowded), instead enjoy the walk along the pier before and after your visit.
