"I love Santa Barbara and getting seafood from there. My mom was looking for a restaurant that served scallops and the closest one with good reviews was this one.Atmosphere: the restaurant is beautiful inside and out. Well designed with a good color balance. The one thing I didn't love was feeling like the servers were right behind me worth them having their conversations. Otherwise it was a good placement (adjacent to the pier and nice looking.Service: The staff seemed nice. We were seated quickly. The server introduced himself initially. It took another server to ask of we needed bread and it felt a little like a shuffle since a different server brought out the food. It took awhile for the server to return to thr table so we sat for awhile after finishing our food before we were able to find him again to box our food and get the check. We had to ask for a bag for our two boxes instead of them offering. I also felt like this was medium price but it would help if the servers helped to put the food into the boxes instead of making the patrons do it themselves. It would make it seem more like a higher end restaurant.Food: (1st I know Fiesta Fest was last week but I found a piece of confetti on my bread plate. It's just not a good look. Also the look of my dish when it got to me was a little messy.The pasta that we had was good but not great. The sauce felt like it needed a bit more of a bold flavor and a bit thicker (it had a bit of a watery pesto taste and didn't taste like it utilized the umami taste that the mushrooms could have given it. The shrimp were great and the pasta was perfect texture. (I always wish that shrimp in pasta dishes didn't require me to work and use my hands to take thr tail off but that's not specifically just this restaurant .Overall, it was a good experience but there were just a few things that kept it from feeling like a great experience."

"Like many places in Santa Barbara, Cody’s has had to make adjustments for Covid 19 reasons, and are no longer attached to their sister restaurant on the Mesa , and the menu has slightly changed, along with the prices. But the people are the same, awesomely nice and the drinks are very strong , something that have kept the locals loyal and it won’t disappear like Goleta Coffee across the way. Something the scientists from the reality show Bar Rescue could learn from. The Breakfasts are hearty and used to be a favorite of the working fisherman back in the day . The Californian Benedict, with its perfectly cooked poached egg and tomato and avocado is a known favorite of the local Santa Bar-barbarians and for a slight fee , add those to the Fairfax Benedict I think it’s a wink to Canter’s Deli in LA on Fairfax) which is Smoked Salmon on a bagel, cream cheese,poached egg, Homemade Hollandaise sauce and is served with a choice of potatoes , cottage fries or their perfect hash browns and homemade salsa. I can’t eat like that anymore, so I got the grilled Fresh Salmon that I photographed ,because it looked like a perfect still life painting ! Healthy too ! Sadly, because of the Covid, the price was $20 and with tea and tax , plus a tip ,well, I can’t afford to eat there everyday like I had for the past 20 years. (Maybe when the Covid 19 is over ; prices will go down again The Salads and Hamburgers are just as good as they were decades ago. I especially enjoyed the $13 Gorgonzola Salad with its cheese and mandarins , and for $7 extra , you can add a piece of grilled Chicken or Salmon. Now with outdoor seating, they also have a cozy banquet room and side bar (although I haven’t seen it used much since the Covid and for the same reason, it is no longer open for dinner . ? Sigh , it’s the end of an era in Santa Barbara. But for Breakfast and Lunch it is still one of the best “Local Favorites “ in Goleta."
