My friends and I decided to enjoy a nice night out at Waterside, and it turned out to be a great choice. To our pleasant surprise, there was a live band playing—The Goleta Sound—and they definitely made the evening special. We opted to sit outside, and even though it was chilly, the heaters provided just enough warmth, allowing us to enjoy the music comfortably. Our server was patient and friendly, even though it took some time for us to decide on drinks. Once we settled in, it took a little longer to choose our meals, as we were busy catching up and socializing, but our waitress was exceptionally accommodating throughout. For the table, everyone except my partner ordered the burger with fries, which was delicious—cooked perfectly and full of flavor. My partner chose the pork chop, which was seasoned well and juicy, making for a satisfying meal. Overall, a fantastic night with good food, great live music, and attentive service. We’ll definitely be returning!

Wife and I went here for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. She had the salmon and I had the burger. Delicious food, friendly service, and great views. The bar staff was friendly, and the drinks were effective. Will definitely be back!

Wow what a great place. I can't believe we did not know about it living so close. The food was excellent. We went for the sat brunch. We sat outside since it was a beautiful sunny day. The patio backs up to the harbor and all the boats. Great view. All the food was fabulous. My son had the pork chop and eggs. It was excellent. My wife had the crab cake burger it was amazing. I had the belgium waffle with berries The drinks were perfect.(code for strong) The service was impeccable. Everyone there is nice. We'll be going again soon. BTW I don't just throw out 5 star reviews, they need to be earned and this one was for sure!

The food here is good, but nothing special to really speak about. The service and the atmosphere is what makes this place fantastic. The music on the patio could have been a little quieter, but it did make for a great Sunday brunch.

I never eat fish out, but being on the coast, I wanted something new, I had never tasted mahi mahi! It tasted amazing and not so fishy! Then pork ribs were on fire!! Best customer service I’ve experienced so far!

This place has a beautiful atmosphere whether you dine inside or outside. We went on a Saturday to celebrate my dad's birthday and it was perfect! The service was WONDERFUL, food delicious, drinks very yummy! I would have expected it to be much more expensive with how amazing this place was but even their prices are great and we had a party do 10. I can not wait to go back!

We had a beautiful time here and enjoyed a delicious Easter brunch. I loved the omelette station and the seafood options were awesome. The staff were friendly and very attentive. And the live music made our time so memorable.
